Burton X8 Channel Snowboard (Lime) – Blem 2009 Review
Burton X8 Snowboard 2009
Burton X8 Snowboard 2009: You’re leading a double life. You love to bounce through back country powder like Neil Armstrong pulverizing the moon, but you can also be found making scrambled eggs out of the terrain park. Finally, your two identities can look each other in the eye without the troubles…
Going to jail cause it kills stuff
: If snowboards went to jail for murder…then lock this thing up cause it kills stuff. This board has a soft/mid flex and a great side cut. Twin-tip shape and flex for those who go both ways. I rode mine centered and 18front, 18rear and couldn’t tell which end was the nose. Great for rails and park jumps with super quick edge to edge response from the channel design. Lots of pop to get over snowfences and mystical creatures. Softest board I’ve ridden in a few years but had more ollie power than shaquille o’neil on a teeter totter with a five year old.Should you get an x8? Heck yes, but only if you want to hit sweet drops in to nose deep pow or slang some peace signs off a tasty jump.The only problem I had was with the EST system. In 50+ days the bolts loosened two or three times. I definitely fell in love with the feel of EST boots,binding combo. Just gotta make sure everythings tight before you strap in.Check out some action shots [@]
