which is better, forum or burton

I'd say Burton, i learned on those boards and have loved them ever since

Is anybody else amazed that this thread is still on page 1?

What debate?
Most comments are simply one liners stating they like Burton more.

Top 10 snooze threads of all time, which is bold statement because this forum has a lot of them.
Whenever I can't sleep I read these forums.

Either is good. Forum's definitely on the rise in my book because their gear is getting a fresh new look with new tech that is similar to Burton. 

I like Burton Burton boards and boots, but Forum makes some pretty decent bindings.

damn that didnt work heres the correct link

Forum & Burton are the same company. My brother works on their product photo shoots, and depending on the weather provide him gear for the shoot (goggles, gloves, boots, jackets, pants, etc) & it's all Forum, Burton, Foursquare, Anon & Special Blend.

I think more important than the brand name of the equipment, is the skill level you're trying to accommodate. If you're a beginner looking at advanced level equipment, you're going to make your learning curve even harder than it already is.

I don't know that any 1 brand is necessarily better than another. Burton is a big name, and has lots of $ to throw at marketing & branding their products, but there's plenty of "little guys" out there producing equipment equal to or surpassing Burtons, and they have to produce quality in order to stay afloat in the industry - often at much lower prices because they're not a "Burton" or similar big name

i just got a forum youngblood doubledog and i love it. personally i think burton is overpriced. i think with burton you get less board for your buck.

i prefer forum

I think we need to switch gears here. Sooo which do you think is better constipation or diarrhea? I'm going with diarrhea. Constipation is way over priced!

I am partial to Burton. I know one significant even was Forum working on the Channel and they didn't put enough money into it and it didn't work out too well. Burton followed by working on the Channel and it has worked well so far. Burton has the money to put into better testing which works towards the customer's interest. A lot of the gear I have is Burton and it's done a great job so far!

Burton, have never had any issues with the brand.

does the argument change at all if you're just talking bindings?  leaving other stuff out of the equation?

So i asked this question 792 days ago before I started riding, and was unsure of what brand to buy... i looked back and realized this epic debate was STILL going on.  I laughed.  A lot.  But keep it up guys, its really interesting to see what everyone thinks! hahahaha

Originally posted by lapmax I think that would be burton if compare to forum but without forum you dont get burton. so hard to choose from

^^ Cause it was his first board... so obviously it is far superior to all others! 

Not sure why this keeps coming up, but according to Burton's Wiki entry, they bought Forum off of FourSquare back in 2005, which is why it wasn't very surprising when John Jackson left Forum for Burton.  Almost as if the Forum team is Burton's "rookie/pro" program.  

Forum is made by Burton, they're both quality boards either way, obviously Forum is more of a budget based brand. I don't understand why this is still on page 1 either.  

i would say burton but have not really had much dealings with forum. all i kno is that burton has a wide variety of product

I would have to say burton. Mine lasted longer then my buddies forum board and we got it about the same time.

Have to quote spenser to reply to this one.
"hands down one of the most ignorant things people KEEP thinking is true.

compare a burton board to a forum board with relatively the same amount of technology.  price is gonna be super duper almost the same.  compare with pretty much any company for that matter.

YOU PAY FOR TECH, NOT PERFORMANCE.  for the last time."
