which is better, forum or burton

Definately Burton

wait...doesn't burton own forum? Which is owned by Nike, which is owned by Apple?

burton for sure!

doesn't burton own forum?

i personally would choose burton over forum.i just bought a burton board and i love it

burton!

hate to say it but burton

burton. I've never been impressed by forum gear :(

yea I heard that they are all same company. That's why 2011 forum boards will have ics as well.

burton, bigger is better!

If only choice one from Forum and Butron, I will take Burton.

I dig Burton, for sure my choice between the two.

Burton...for now

burton

burton

burton custom

burton gets my vote!

for a long time, i actually thought forum was like an offset or part of burton.

even though forum is owned by burton they are not manufactured together. I personally prefer forum because i think they are more durable snowboards and made with better quality. Burton makes decent boots and pretty good bindings also

Originally posted by J&JBlks2k yeah I think they're sister companies..so either one you've got a great board..

Someone in a shop told me that forum was owned by burton, but it not like burton makes all the gear, decisions, and tech for forum, even though burton makes the profits... he said "its more like forum gets their own materials and make their own stuff, but have dad's wallet to do so." Forum and burton are different companies with different tech. If they had the same tech, why wouldnt burton have removed forum by now.

You can get a great board with any company. Every company has their own tech and designs, and when coming down to a specific riding style and preference, thats what makes one board better for one person, and worse for another. Everyone is different, and their are no bests. Otherwise, most of us would all be using the same thing.

I used to dislike burton. The only reason why Burton is my preference is because I was thrilled with the second burton deck I ever used (2008 supermodel) so much that i now have four burton decks now. After using the CX, i may never go back, but my point is that just because you hear certain things or have certain feelings about a company, doesnt mean that you will feel that way after using their products. Threads like this will give you no answers, only a wide variety of mixed opinion. In the end, you might not have a clue what to get because of all the different answers.

Your best bet is to find a local demo, and try as many products as possible, or even demo at a rental shop. If you demo, your not getting the lowest end products (ive seen vapors available for demo). Other than that, you ask questions on what would be good choices based on riding style, ability, etc... The only person who can find the best thing for you is you. Just make sure you dont let other opinions influence you into making a bad choice.

burton owns forum but to me it seems burton is more for the all mountain riders and forum is for the park style riders. but that's just my see on things

either, both brands are good,   why only those 2 brands though?

Most repetitive thread ever.

"Hey man, does Burton own Forum?" x 20

"Yo, Burton owns Forum!" x 20

"I used to think Burton owned Forum!" x 20 (this is my fav because it implies they came into new knowledge which indicates that Burton doesn't)

im pretty sure burton holds resale value better since it is made better

COnsidering how Burton is the most popular brand in snowboarding, ill say burton is the "better" brand. They are popular for a reason. THeir quality over the year has gone down, so you should always give other smaller company a try.
