Advanced to Expert Aggressive All Mountain to Freeride
Camber Directional Shape
2006 Good Wood Award Winner
Everyone knows about the Burton Custom X. If for some reason you don't it is a stiffer more directional version of the the most well known board the Burton Custom. One of the best qualities about the Custom X is it feels like the board helps to initiate the the next turn for you. It's pretty stiff, fast and fun for tearing up the mountain at high speed. The Custom X is a near perfect competitor to the Rome Anthem and Flag (wide). The difference is the Custom X has Pressure Edge Distribution, Channel Tech, Stainless Steel Edges and the Burton name where the Anthem doesn't. The 2012 Custom X remains very similar to the 2011 and 2010 models in terms of tech and the all around ride.

They did add "Squeeze Box" Tech to the 2012 which helps improve the flex between the feet but to us we didn't notice much of a difference compared to the previous models. We felt a bit of a difference on some other Burton boards but for some reason it seemed almost the same with the Custom X. For some reason we noticed it more on the hybrid rocker/rocker shapes than we did on the Custom but maybe that is because we were riding the Custom and Custom X a little differently than the freestyle boards. We were more interested in carving and higer speeds with these boards.
