New Snowboard Setup – Burton Lib-Tech?
Hello, I'm looking for a new snowboard setup, and I wonder if I should get an X-ray Burton Custom, custom, or a Lib-Tech Jamie Lynn w / Banana Traction? I am 5'10 174 lbs. So here are the options for Setup: Burton Custom X-Board Burton Co2 Bindings (EST) / EST Cartel Burton Custom Burton Ion Boots Burton Co2 EST-Board / Cartel EST Bindings Burton Ion Boots or Lib-Tech Jamie Lynn Burton Co2 Bindings Burton Ion Boots Personally I like Burton boots and bindings. Also suggestions for other tips are welcome. I'me intermediate-advanced to advanced border. I will want to use the AMFS Board, so I want to have a flexible support (6-7ish) to be fast and be good for jibbing and such. The money is not is a problem, all are welcome to answer. Thanks, Shak
If you have a lot of jibbing, I'd say the Custom X is out of the question – Which is a very rigid board. I generally prefer to Burton, but outside the halls in the list, and given what you say you want to do, I think it would be Lib-Tech best for you. Falls 6-7 in the range of flexion and botulinum toxin can help with all-mountain freestyle riding you want to do. As for a suggestion by the Board, check out the BTX GNU Rider choice. I'd say it's ride-ability is comparable to the Burton Custom also available with traction banana (if that's what you're looking for).
