Burton 09

oh man, the naked chick boards are hilarious to me.  they need to make something for the girls.   but seriously, what's up with all the naked chicks and the gangster stuff.  And the colors for next year are so bright and crazy.  next year is going to be interesting.

that sucks for Burton there gonna lose some buyers after shaun broke that board.  He was just hopping around before his run right?

^^yep, right now most of em are still rockin the 09's but come summer you'll start seeing some of the 2010 stuff coming out of the woodwork.

remember seeing masons custom last summer at hood in this famous first look at 09 pic?

correction: most pros are riding prototypes of various boards.....

right now 2010 is being locked down for many companies. they're always designing two years out of when they hit the shelves for us consumers. graphics are irrelevant. some peeps i know are riding 09 unincs with 08 customx bases and various other topsheets (think that one through). it all keeps  you guessing.

this years top trends from my POV definitely are:

chicks, chicks, chicks
more neon
welcome back to the late 80s/early 90s (see above two posts)
enviro friendly=greenwashing
collaborations with artists that you never heard of
rockers

some seriously awesome stuff for 09. can't wait to actually ride it.

there ya go!!!!

Any idea what pricing will be like, esp. those EST bindings?

Looks like they got a colorful makeover.

Those things are sick.  Chris (Nc3peeoh) put me on them at the end of the day at Kirkwood.  Wish I'd spent more time on them, but I only got one run, but I liked them a lot.

^^^ Either way, they LOOK freaking rad.

Originally posted by Dr. Nu-Nu Originally posted by Jdsimmons2 yeah, i know but i got a 158 CX with yellow base, yellow co2 and if the ozone are gonna be stiff, i'll hold out till they go on sale to get them, if not, i'll get some driver x or ion that's my setup... 2008 Custom X 158, 2007 CO2's in lime green/yellow, and 2005 Driver X boots

Its a sick set up, but i've been using my Seven with cartels cuz in the midwest, theres no need for such a big board meant for all mountain.  But i still use it when i'm in CO or tahoe or up in Montana

Originally posted by Jdsimmons2 yo, Dr. Nu-Nu, i caught your post in the staff area, i already have a 158, i'm gonna get something longer for the pow days when i'm out of this shit hole i call Kansas! btw, how did you get to reply in the staff area?

I try to help out a with the Ask The Staff questions. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to contribute much for this winter because of 15-hour shifts everyday and my weekends consisting of snowboard trips. It hasn't really given me much time to do much. I finally have this week off, some time to relax.

So you plan on getting another Custom X but in a longer version? or possibly a Custom?

everyday...burning the candle at both ends i see.  thats what I like to hear.

yea, but if i take it up to the mtn, and decide partway thru the day that i wanna take a break from all the pow in the bowls, and i wanna hit some groomers and be able to straight line it, i don't want a board thats gonna want to wash out like most tapered pow boards

I will own a 09 vapor.

I will own an 09 Fix 

what is the deal with the X8V?
from the graphics the topsheet looks like the Fix near the nose and tail. I thought the graphics on the Fix topsheet were to show the scoop. Does the X8V have scoop too?

OMG!!! 2009!

yeah that's true, it's actually just begun to be 08.  Still it's nice to know what's gonna be out there if you want to wait to invest.  This year's reverse camber boards are changing a few things.

Just a note on the above, Burton rep told me that the Serows will be Japan-only again starting next year. 

I tried on the XIII's at the Burton show room sale a few week back... at least I think I did, they were labeled as the "Decadence Mark XIII's".  Super comfy, soft flexing boot with an Imprint 4 liner.  Ungodly expensive though since they are part of Burton's "luxury" Mark XIII line.  They were selling at like $280 at the sale (more than the Ions), so I imagine they retail close to $400.  Probably made with full leather shell or something.  Makes sense though if you look at what Burton is charging on the rest of the Mark XIII line.

i will own an 09 custom

why do you always praise next season's gear and get us all excited?

yep I'm looking forward to demoing a board with ics and a rocker, be interesting to see wht it rides like I take it you've already had some action on one Hoon? Which models have both those features?

Also from what I see on the 'leaked' Burton 09 stuff no pro model for Tadashi Fuse?

ahem... as i said.... 09 OLS

Thanks Jenn , my buddy rides the Tadashi (the sailboat one from 07) and fancied a new one this season
