Burton Blunt Snowboard - 2010
Born without the dishonesty gene, the Burton Blunt Snowboard never sugar-coats anything but your landings. This true twintip, true rocker board doesn't have the slightest idea how to tell a lie. Forget about catching edges - it won't happen. The Blunt was designed to make you look good in the park, and it will.
- Tapered tip and tail thickness reduce swing weight
- Soft flex and mellow edges for forgiving landings
- Thinner core between the bindings for more natural flex
Bottom Line: Just to be safe though, don't ask the Blunt how you look.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
Hello, Very new to boarding (done a few days and loved every
Hello,
Very new to boarding (done a few days and loved every minute!) and I'm looking at buying a board and bindings.
I am 6.1, weigh 180 pounds and just purchased a pair of 11.5 Ozones (so 10.5 with footprint reduction tech).
I am looking at buying a Burton Blunt, maybe the 158cm, but I noted that maybe I should be getting a board over 160cm, and I am right on the reccomended 180pounds. Should I go for the 159cmWIDE or the 162cmWIDE instead?
And would Burton Mission EST Snowboard Bindings 2011 suit this board?
Cheers in advance, I am getting super excited to get back to the mountain!

First the only reason to get a wide board is if your boots hangover the edges far enough to drag. a wide board compared to a regular is like your grandmothers cadillac and a ferrari. the wide boards are less responsive and heavier.
Second length of the board depends on what you want to get out of the board. I'm 6'2" 165lbs and my fun board is a 153cm and my powder board is a 162cm. Don't worry about length too much but be very careful to go wide. The rocker boards should allow you to downsize a couple cms without sacrificing stability.
Third misson bindings are very solid and will offer good response in all mountain riding.
good luck and good riding!

I got this board about 4 years ago and used it for 1 season before getting rid of it. I didn't like the camber of it, and I was kinda tired of having a massive BURTON on the bottom of my board. Flexability on the board is actually pretty good, but I can't stand the v rocker.
Would this board fit with Union contacts????

Hey,
Yes, you'll just need to get the proper baseplate from Union or a local shop.

I bought this board last year from a friend, and I would have to say that it was ok. I have shredded for almost 12 years so far and i would recommend this for a beginner who shreds in the park all day. O
Overall flex is about a 3 i would say.

Possibly on some older models, but I have not seen or heard of this in the last few seasons. The board is going to be nice and light at a 142. However if your looking at a metal binding that is going to add some weight. You may want to look at a Custom or a Cartel binding. Any binding made of metal is going to damage quicker and be heavier. Believe it or not a plastic binding is much more durable than a metal binder any day. Whatever way you choose you are going to have a blast.. Get out and shred..

I like burton alot, but their non chanel(est compatible) boards this year have not been great in my opinion. the board is very lght , but the edging is not very good and i find that it was restricting my pop of jibs and jumps. overall if you are a beginner that wants to start in the park this board will do but as an advancesd snowboarder i do not recomend this board

Depends on what bindings your rocking. Otherwise this board is a real dream. The higher you go in the Burton line the lighter the board. This is a super durable board that is great in the park. With continuous rocker between your feet and in front of your feet towards tip and tail creates catch free playfulness and improved float. Better get it while the getting good only 9 left in stock.

The Burton Blunt, this is a great park board. Really soft, so you can make sure you get your cab 1 to noes press. Perfect for handrails in the street as well. The base is extruded, so it takes a beating pretty well.
V-rocker with frost bite-extended edges to give some more grip. Jumper cables-carbon stingers at the binding- to give you more hight on you ollies.
If you need a park board, then check it out.
is the board compatible with the ride contraband 2010/11

This board is mostly a flex board for jibbing, but I hit 30's on it last year so it'll get the job done.

The Burton Blunt for 2011 is one of the boards in Burton line that keeps with the original 3 hole pattern for the conventional bunch out there. With the thinner base under the bindings; board feel and control is in maximum affect, and with the lighting bolt carbon stringers under foot the board response is instant.
I had the pleasure of taking this board for a spin last season and loved it. the pop was good and it helped me leave my phantom presses at home and actually press the board, with a little help from the V-Rocker.

The 147 or 151. If you are going to grow or if you like jumps and pow then get the 151. If you are just into jibbing then run the 147.

I agree with Lyman for the most part. If you only jib and ride park I think the 142 would be better, but the 147 is best for all mountain riding.
By: Justin

I would go with the 147 because of your weight. This board will be a great park and jib board. It is really fun in the Park as well as mountain.

Hi, could anyone tell me what kind of bindings works with this board? Only those with EST can be fitted?
And, if anyone can suggest me a good binding that can be paired with this board, I will really appreciate it.
Thanks!
By: Ionut

Hi Lyman,
Thanks for your quick reply. But are you sure that the EST bindings do not work with the Burton Blunt board? Because I saw in the "Burton Boards Lookbook" from the Burton website two combination of a Blunt board and a Malavita EST binding.
And the thing is that based on that "look book" I have ordered the Mission EST bindings and now I am scared that they will not fit on the board.
By: Ionut

Disk bindings will work. EST bindings will not. If you like soft bindings then check out the Missions. http://www.dogfunk.com/burton-mission-snowboard-binding

Burton Blunt

Not only is this a great park and jib board because of its soft flex, it's also a great board for learning and progressing on. My local/favorite resort, Brighton, UT, actually uses this board for their rentals. The soft flex of the v-rocker and mellow sidecut help beginners feel more comfortable initiating turns and getting the feel of snowboarding overall. I took my dad and brother out for their first time ever with these boards. Both had never touched a board before or even been at a resort (they're from AL). My little brother took to it pretty fast and was lapping my dad all day (he's kind of old so we'll give him a break). I also demo'd the board during one of their much needed breaks.
Sizing specs:
My brother is 5'10, 160 lbs, size 10 boots, and rode the 151.
I am 5'6, 125 lbs, size 8 boots, and I also rode the same 151.
From watching and teaching my brother, I could see that this board was really easy to learn on. He's never been on a snowboard or even a skateboard I don't think. He learned pretty fast and was doing J-turns by the end of the day, almost linking them up.
From the couple runs I took on it, it had a pretty soft flex, easy to butter on and I thought it felt great in the park. It was definitely a little long for my liking in the park but I still could stomp some boxes and wall rides on it easily. Definitely felt like one of the softer boards I've ridden. I'd rate it a 3.5 for flex.
i am 6 foot 145 lb. love the park what size should i get?

The 151 if you like to jib more than jump. If you like both then the 155 would work too.

I wouldn't ride a wide, you don't need a wide at all. The normal 151 will be perfect for you. I would run that all day long. The blunt is a great board, it is a whole lot of fun.

i have this board with the forum faction bindings with the 3 hole pattern. they're specifically meant to fit all boards. When i tried mounting the bindings it seemed the screws that came with them were too big for the holes in the board, are there specific screws needed for the board or is this a defect? the screws seem to be too wide to fit in the board inserts.

Hayden-
The screws should work just fine if they are the tradition M-6 Hardware that came with the bindings. Are you saying the hardware is too thick for the insert in the board?
Any stock Burton hardware should work... Burton and Forum are compatible!!! If you call Burton Rider services they can walk you through it:

This years Blunt is lighter than in years past. I do not have the exact weight, but it is lighter. It is a pretty soft board, you can take it into the backcountry, it will hold its own. Tree runs are no problem, just remember it is soft. If you want an over all mountain board try the custom; http://www.dogfunk.com/snowboard/Burton-Custom-Snowboard/BUR
