Burton Fix Snowboard - 09/10 - 2009

Hero. It does better in the powder because it has more rocker. If youre going to be going fast though, get the fix. The Hero is real squirrely at high speed I've heard.

The Hero is going to be a softer board. After you break it in, it is really soft and playful. The 149 is going to be too small. Go with the 152.

The Hero sounds like the right choice. All guys I know that ride the Hero love it and are into the same style of riding as you are.

I've never ridden a fix, but I do have a hero wide. It is very good on jibs and in pow. It holds up well on kickers, but I don't hit anything over 25 ft, so I don't know how it will perform past there. My guess is that due to pressure distribution edges the hero will be a little more comfortable at speed than a fix which could help too. Just my experience w/ the hero wide.

I agree, the Hero is the way to go. The Burton Fix and Dominant have what's called a P-Rocker, whereas the Hero has what's called a V-Rocker. Although they both have their perks, the V-Rocker has 3 different rocker points (between your feet, and one outside each of your feet) as opposed to the P-Rocker's 2 (Outside each of your feet). This basically means that your gonna be able to feel more, and control yourself easier. If you've never ridden on a rocker board before, the Hero is gonna make you never want to go back, get ready to own those rails and boxes.

pass on Burton and buy Never Summer. for what you are describing go for the Never Summer Evo-R. Gives you the flex you want for rails and butters, but also allows you to hit some kickers as well. And the R.C. tech allows you to float the deepest goods with ease!

the fix or the hero are going to be the ones to look at, i prefer the hero overall because its soft and gives you the pop you want

This board is a mid wide... but isn't soft. Its a good jump board!!!!

Do you want something super soft?

If so, check out the HERO WIDE: (its a super jibby stick with an amazingly soft flex)

A lil more of a medium flex? The Flying V or Joystick will knock your socks off (both are mid-wides! (you will be okay with a 13 if you have boots with some shrinkage tech)

Size down a few CM as they are rockers... get ready to live.

For real, if you have more questions, ask me... I did a write up on the joystick. check it!

well i wanted to get a 158 or 159, i was riding a 162 ride dose and it felt a little too big(and heavy).

What size were you planning on getting? If you go up to a 162 your waist width is about a 25.6... (25.4 on the 158)

ideal you should be riding about a 25.8+ in waist width but unless your a Euro carver your probably not goignt o notice any heel or toe drag. Do you have a slimmed down boot that rocks like a size-smaller verion? If so, you'll be money!

plus, you'll have a machete on your board to kick anyone's ass who tells you differently.

yes, the retro disk only works with Burton or Forum binders that accept a center disk... (pretty much everyone of them) -- Also the board comes with the retro disk so you don't need to get it from Burton.

However, your splurging for the board so you might as well as go the whole way and Find a pair of EST bindings optimizing that ride!

Here is the cheapest EST bindings that are new:

There are some older Triad EST but there only seem to be size small left:

I would probably point you in the direction of the Fix or Youngblood. The blunt is an insane board but it may be a little too soft for what you looking at. The fix is an awesome board that can do anything with a rail/park focus. If it snows you can definitely ride it in POW. Check out "The B" movie for proof on that one. Some sick POW jumps shots being throw down on the fix.

The youngblood is going to have a little more agressive of a rocker so it will feel less 'edgy' on rails but may feel a bit of the same way on jumps.

The fix seems like a solid choice, but I think either that or the Forum would stoke you out!

I think your probably on point with the Fix, but you could check one of the chillydog (manual or destroyer) Forum boards... or a hero from Burton. Hero won a good wood award, but this FIX graphic is doper!!!

You like the Fix!

I would definitely not go larger than the 155... the 152 is ideal and will still last a few seasons.

Here is a perspective for ya... I am 6', 195lbs... I ride a 157 for a park/pipe/jump board and a 159 for powder.

Yeah I would go with a 139-144cm board for your height and weight.

To tell you the truth man you might want too look at a shorter board, getting a park board that big just isn't realistic for your size. If you were ot buy the board at that length it would make it much stiffer, much faster, way less spin control, and less mobility. I would strongly suggest going shorter, any ways man enjoy!
