Hi everybody! Hope everyone had a good summer… It's about that time! I cant wait for the winter, counting down the days til I can dust off my equipment and hit the slopes! In keeping with my usual tradition, I'm doing some research, looking for good deals on lift tickets and new stuff, and I found a deal that's too good to pass up. I recently found a Burton Custom 08 snowboard on sale for $209! I googled this type of snowboard and so far found mostly positive reviews. I'd like to see what everyone else thinks before I take the plunge, so if you know anything about this SB (good or bad) pls let me know. In case you were wondering: I've been riding about 2 years now, but I go almost every weekend (not easy when the slopes are 3 hours away!) I consider myself an intermediate rider. My focus this season will be on perfecting my techn
Wow, THAT is a sweet deal! Cannot go wrong with any of the post 2004 Burton Custom boards. Great all-around board. Make sure you have the binding disks that support the stupid Burton proprietary 3-hole bolt pattern 😛
Thanks frost man! But if I have a pair of Burton bindings already, do I still need new plates? wont the Burton bindings be ready for a Burton board? If they cant that would be really retarded
Bindings come in two parts. One is the major binding part and the other is the center disk that the binding screws get put through (on the base plate). That is the part we are concerned with. The disks come in three types based on the hole patterns they accommodate: A) 4-hole pattern (most common)B) 3-hole pattern (for burton boards' proprietary hole pattern)C) Universal (not very common)Some bindings come with 3-hole or 4-hole disks. Some come with both.So in your case, if you were using your Burton bindings on a different board that has a 4-hole pattern then you most likely have the 4-hole disk in there. If you want to use you Burton bindings with a Burton board, you would need teh 3-hole disks in there.
