While many companies have experimented with hybrid shapes the Custom has remained camber since it’s creation.

They chose to work on improving the same design instead of change the camber. It’s not for everyone but the ones its for will love it. Mary and I have been riding this board since the early 2. We only have specs/ect since 2.

The angles were many two but some major ones were 1. The Burton Custom X is their flagship old school aggressive all mountain board that is great for carving and bombing. This is not for beginners or intermediate riders who skid their turns. This is for advanced riders who want to push themselves to expert level and expert riders who want an aggressive carving board.

We see many riders out on the hill who shouldn’t be on this board and aren’t having as much fun as they could be. So ask yourself if you want to improve your ego or your actual riding before picking out this board. On Snow Feel: The Burton Custom X is locked in and definitely for the technical advanced to expert rider. It’s easy for a less experienced rider to catch an edge. If you like high speed wide open carving runs on morning Groomers then you will be quite pleased with the Custom X when perfect corduroy is calling.  It’s incredibly fun to make any kind of turn and really fun to straight line. Powder: The Burton Custom X does rather well in the powder for a cambered board. It has a decent set back and good sized front nose.

It doesn’t have that easy float like hybrid or rocker boards but it’s really good for a camber board. Speed: Very Fast! The Burton Custom X responds very well to a straight line or nice high speed turns. The base is fast and the board is damp so it does very well at high speed. This board is made to go big and it won’t disappoint.  Just make sure your health insurance has a low max out of pocket. Watch Pretty Sweet Tube Free. Uneven Terrain: Usually a board with this kind of aggressive flex and speedy ride wouldn’t be good in rough terrain but the Burton Custom X isn’t bad. In just about any uneven terrain we have experienced it does much better than you would think.

It’s just a little bit above average but that is a huge accomplishment. Burton knows how to make a board flex pretty well underfoot and it absorbs shock at slower speeds well even though it’s pretty stiff. Approximate Weight- The Burton Custom X is a very light board. Every year it seems to get lighter.

You might not notice this on your front foot when riding up a chair.  It doesn’t hurt when you are riding either. It makes everything you try to do a little easier. Turn Initiation and Carving- The Burton Custom X is a pretty stiff technical camber board and it takes some work to initiate a turn but if you know what you are doing it makes any type of turn incredibly fun and springy. If you are a rider that skids your turns often but is strong you can hang with this board but you just aren’t enjoying it’s true potential.

This is for people who look back up the hill they rode down to see one long razor blade narrow s pattern. If you compare it to camber boards of similar flex you will find the Custom X easy, springy and quick. The Custom X has a pretty narrow waist with a deep side cut so for it’s size and stiffness this is pretty easy to make quick tight turns in trees or steeps.  When making wider turns it’s stable and has a great return at the end of the turn.  Carving might be the Burton Custom X’s best feature and one of the major reasons why this board is so popular. The old school camber shape is still the best when it comes to carving out a turn. It feels like at the end of a serious turn or carve that the Custom X is springing you out of the turn  which many boards do but what is really special is it feels like it’s helping you set up for the next turn like it’s programmed or something.  Not many boards have the ability to do that and that is what makes the Custom X special. Edge Hold: The Burton Custom X has allot of camber that drives the nose and tail’s edge into the snow giving decent grip. It also has stainless steel edges.

Burton also extends their board out by 1/2 of a millimeter right near each of the binding mounts and you can see it if you look down the edges.  This helps edge hold in most firm or icy conditions. It’s a great idea and the custom x still has that traditional board feel with a little extra grip. Flex: This is a stiff flex that is closer to the Medium side of stiff and a definitely a step up from the custom.  Every year Burton figures out how to keep this board chatter free at high speed and reduce the stiffness. Switch: Even though the Custom X is more on the directional side it still can ride switch. It does feel a lot different than riding regular.

You will get use to it but it’s nowhere near as fun as a twin. There aren’t many Twins that have this flex and carving ability so if you want to ride switch a lot it’s probably best to just get use to it. Pipe: The Burton Custom X does very well in the pipe. Good edge hold and gets you from one transition to the next. It’s perfect if you aren’t really hitting or landing fakie that much.  If you do you’ll want to look for a different board. Jibbing- I wouldn’t bother.

It’s not a disaster with small easy jibs but If you have such an expensive board with such nice sharp edges you can probably afford a more rail friendly board and save your edges for a park mood swing. Jumps: It springs off of any size jump and has enough stiffness to land just about anything.  Don’t worry about this board……. Because the Burton Custom X is pretty directional it’s not the best if you spend a lot of time taking off or landing switch.  If you want something better suited for that look at a stiffer twin or directional twin. There is great pop and with the Burton Diode EST bindings with “hinge tech” we felt like this combo made you Ollie better than your ability. All in all we were thoroughly impressed by the Burton Custom X.

It use to suck having only EST options for this board but with the addition of hinge tech on many of the higher end Burton bindings it’s hard to recommend other bindings. We have heard rumors from pro’s and really higher level athletes that the earlier EST bindings would come loose but we haven’t experienced that. The newer bindings have a tighter lock and I’d just crank them down a little extra hard.
