Burton SI-X

Advantages: Flexible, excellent design, super construction and finish
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Bought this board to use on the slopes of canada, i'd been using standard boards over here in europe befor and didn't know the difference. When i got on to this board it felt like i was on a piece of rubber in comparrison. I couldn't belive the difference between the standard boards and a this one, the feel is amazing and it totally changes the experience. you can feel every bump and this changed my style so much and i carn't belive how much i improved using this board. I had Burton Mission bindings and some Soloman boots and this seemed to be a excellent combi for me. The only problem or niggle i had with this board it that the top surface is so easy to scratch.

Advantages: Cheap, nice looking, warm and comfortable
Disadvantages: not as comfortable, warm or water proof as a more expensive burton boot.

...Fantastic boot for a beginner, cheaper than a lot of the competition and still has many of the features that Burton offers on more expensive boots. I bought these as "my first boots" and rode them for a whole season. Aprox 100days riding with no problems what so ever.

I've since upgraded to a more expensive boot which is better but i really cant think of anything bad to say about the Moto in terms of value for money. Burton's "Imprint" boot liners are much more comfortable than the "Matrix" liners - the Burton Tribute (the very very cheap burton boot) is really quite uncomfortable after a long days riding and not that much cheaper. If you're a beginner and looking for a cheap setup i would strongly advice investing in boots as they will make or break... Read review

...Sorry about the title, I could not think of anything that would perfectly fit the description of this particular Burton snowboard. This has to be one of my favorite Burton snowboards for way more than one reason. First, it still remains affordable, but you get an exceptional custum board. Made the way you want it so it can fit your personal individual taste. You also have the option of this board to bear the Burton logo in any part of the board you want. There is quite a selection of designs to choose from so your board is perfectly what you want. I am actually starting to form a collection of my own snowboards that I can use throughout the season. This was one of the boards I especially purchased about 5 months ago while I was on vacation in Utah. I did try it out on the slopes about 7 times, and the performance was excellent on just...
