Last year the X8 Snowboard kicked off Burton's ICS system and took the snowboard world by storm. This year, the X8 continues its domination in terrain parks worldwide. The buttery soft flex, twintip shape, and high-end freestyle performance come standard, plus you can use this ride with regular bindings or go with the EST for nearly limitless stance options. Burton hooked up the X8 Snowboard with an ultra-fast sintered WFO base for speed, a Park Fly III wood core for supreme feel, and burly 10:45 sidewalls for durability. Terrain parks, city rails, powder pillows, and massive booters—the X8 Snowboard rips them all. * We can't control which color base you get. But we're confident you'll dig it. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: The future has arrived, so get on board.
super sick board. awesome in the park, it's super soft in the nose and tail, and pretty solid in the middle. so lots of pop but still pressable and can hold a line. floats great in pow too. overall it's the best board I've ever ridden.
Rode this last year and will be riding it again this year. It's rated for the park and is insanely poppy and playful. I definitely wouldn't call it too heavy or stiff. The only complaint I've heard is that this is not a steeps or pow board. I can see the argument but don't totally buy it. I rode this up in Silverton several times last year and it killed every cornice, pillow, and powdery turn I could throw at it.
