Clash

Edited by brodster - Oct/22/2006 at 2:00pm

Here is a really good board for those that want a good beginning board that will help you progess.

Features:
Lightspeed Vision Base: easy, low maintenance base that also allows for superior images.
Biax React Fiberglass: a relaxed fiberglass that will allow you to try bigger jumps and stomp those new tricks
Sidewall Construction
Negative Core Profile: thinner core in the middle and outside of the board which results in more flex making it a great park/freestyle board.
Fly Core: This is what sets apart Burton beginner boards from other companies. They still use their classic wood core, but it gets the job done. It improves board feel, flex and durability.

Review from fellow rider 1: 4 of 5 stars
The Burton Clash is one of the lower end boards on the market, while still being a good enough quality to keep it off of the shelves at Wal Mart.

The board itself is classified as an all mountain board, like most beginner boards are and this is definitely a board that is a beginner board. The board allows a new snowboarder the ability to practice, hone their skills, and move up, but doesn't really offer the realistic challenge of snowboarding that a standard board would. This will obviously slow the rider's progression and when the rider is to change to a better board, it will probably be a very substantial change and it will feel almost like starting over completely.

This particular all mountain board is a decent freeride board, with good cutting edges, and a fairly lightweight frame so that you can glide down the hills at good learning speeds. This board is by no means a fast board, nor will you be able to keep up with your friends on this board without a lot of effort, but it does the job fairly well. The cornering is a little bit on the shaky side, but for the most part it still outperforms a lot of the more expensive boards in that arena.

The Clash is also fairly decent at freestyle, with enough spring to allow for tricks, and enough flex that you can handle virtually any trick with enough practice and skill. The unfortunate part is that the board isn't built to be able to really support a landing and you will feel every little bit of every trick that you perform. The landings are definitely a bit harsh,<

My friend just got it and with any luck, i'll be able to test drive it over the weekend!

i had a 2004 clash as my first board.  it suited me very well at low speeds.  but now that i've gotten to the point of carving comfortably and going faster, i need a faster board.  i just picked up a sierra crew!

personally, I would like a bit faster board.

The burton clash is a great board to learn on.. you'll have no complaints.

goood!

Nice board. i got a 2012 clash and i love it. thinking about buying another one in the next few years.
