Burton Hero Snowboard - 2008
With the Burton Hero Snowboard, Burton doesn’t just jump on the rocker bandwagon, but hijacks it, throws on some 22s, and drives it off a cliff. The testers at Transworld were so stoked with the pop and feel of the V-Rocker shape, they gave this twin their Good Wood award. Not bad for an inaugural run, eh? The V-Rocker puts a rocker between your feet, with additional rockers towards the nose and tail for unreal control, pop, and presses. Burton then threw on spoon-like Scoop tips for a buttery, skate-like feel. But don’t get us wrong: the Hero doesn’t turn into a weenie alter ego on the groomers and in the powder. This mid-wide board carves and slashes like a scythe with the grip of Pressure Distribution Edges and speed of a sintered base. *NOTE: Burton sent this board in random colors, so we have no control over which color you get. But don’t worry, they’re all rad.**DISCONTINUED**
Bottom Line: Kryptonite has no effect.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
THIS STICK IS SICK

I know everyone has done reviews that don't really help out with your view on the product, but this board really is sick. I took it up to canada for a week, and used it everywhere, and I mean everywhere. It was sick for butters with the double rocker working, amazing edge hold with the distribution edges, and you could carve like a beast. With the ICS system with it as well, it really made you notice the quality of the board as a whole. Pretty good on rails but a little better in the air in my opinion, but even though it is soft on the flatground stuff, it is really stable when you get goin pretty fast as well which makes it comfortable on the take-off and the landings as well.
Change me.
