- Name: 2009 Burton X8
- Skill: Advanced
- Use: Carving,Groomers,Jumps
- Pros: lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold, Soft
Experience:
I have ridden the super model x, super model, custom x, t6, fix, hero, and jeremy jones this year. I bought the x8 and my buddy the jeremy jones. Both these boards are killers. I disagree with people who say the x8 cant handle the steeps. I took it on blacks and had no issues...you just need blacks that are groomed. If the steeps are bumpy it is much harder to maintain control. But in good conditons you can carve the steeps with it really well. The board is great switch, light, easy to butter, and super quick edge to edge. Simply put this board rocks.
