----------///=========( Review )=========\\\----------

I love this board. I finally had to give up my 2000 custom 164 after almost 300 days and i was worried i would not be able to find a board i liked as much. The new custom more than met my expectations. i love the stiffness of this board. You can just jump on it in the turns and it holds the line like no other board i've ever been on. It is incredibly responsive. I found myself having a hard time keeping up with it the first few days i rode it. Once you set the edge while carving the board just takes off, it is unbelievably quick. i was a little worried that the shorter length would effect my riding in deep powder but i didn't notice any significant difference. The boards best quality i feel is its stiffness and great carving ability. I was able to hold edges in all conditions and could really drive the board thru turns. I'm a huge Burton Custom fan. This is my third one and each one has been just a bit better than the previous one. I've ridin alot of different boards and really can't say i've found a better all mountain board. my only criticism of this board and this was true of all my customs is that the edge of the top sheet chips pretty easily. The graphics are just okay but i don't really care what the board looks like, i just want to ride it.
