Burton Twin Snowboard - 2008
Burton built the mid-wide Twin Snowboard to handle the ass kicking that your ride takes when you spin laps through the terrain park or meet your crew at a city rail. The Twin Snowboard's Park Fly II wood core provides mind-blowing pop while its ultra-lightweight Pro-Tip construction reduces swing weight for spinning power. A forgiving, freestyle-focused flex gives you confidence while learning new tricks without sacrificing stability and control when you go huge. Burly 10:45 sidewalls and Burton's Infinite Ride construction helps you slay rails and float road gaps for years to come. * Burton shipped us these boards with assorted colored bases. We have no control over which you get. The board you get might look different, but we're sure you'll be stoked. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: As tough as a freestyle board should be.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

The boards are pretty comparable. But the Forum hundreds has an upgraded core. The hundreds is lighter and more responsive. If that is what you're looking for, then it is "better" if not than it isn't. Both boards are really good and do what they are made to do.

The Burton twin is a mid-wide board I have had older 153 and now have a 157. I wear a 11.5-12 boot and have never had issues with toe or heel drag. You Could probably pull off a 157 with size 13. Just try to stay with in 15-20 lbs of weigh recommendation if you plan on ever floating some powder on this bad boy. Great Great Board

check out the Burton Custom Wide, Burton Blunt Wide, Forum Destroyer Wide, Young blood Wide, Burton Bullet!
And yes, I wider waist will accommodate your foot size so you don't get toe/heel drag.

You would defiantly need a wide board. 10.5 is primarily where the line is drawn for people when deciding if they need a wide or a regular board. After a 10.5 on a regular width board you will notice that you have quite a bit of toe drag. By moving to a wide board that toe drag is minimized and provides you with a safer more fun riding day. Basically wide board = less toe hang up especially on a boot as big as a 13.

Slight imperfections but sick nonetheless...

The graphics are way sicker in person vs. the pictures you see online of it. I noticed some imperfections on the lower layers underneath the topsheet but other then that the product is top-notch. Very flexy...very sexy...I'm very happy with my purchase.
Update (1/06/2010) - Sent it back for a refund a few months back because the top sheet was flaking and there was a big chunk of edge missing. I only used the board about 5-6 days last season. Maybe I got a LEMON.

Naj dude, agree with all of your statements. awesome board! got a bunch of pop and performs. but as u say i have been noticing the top sheet flaking and other small imperfections in the side wall. whatever though, rides like a charm and it still visually outshines other boards on the mountain with the flaking and stuff.

Write your question here...i usually do park mostly but i like to freeride and sometimes aggressive riding so high speed carving. how good will this board be
By: Doug

This board has a fairly gentle side cut to it as its made to hit big kickers and park features...
However, with that said, you will have no problem with the board handling at high speeds and it will carve really good, just not super deep and fast. In other words, its very stable but not edgy to the point that it will throw you down.

I just bought this snowboard (148cm) a month ago and have went riding with it mainly in the park. The board is amaizing, I am very happy i bought it! it slides through boxes and rails very smoothly, you can butter on the snow so clean, and glide over jumps landing gently onto the ground. Deffanitaly worth the buy!

I rode this board for 3 years and it was great. Nice and flexible so you have a nice feel on boxes and rails but also stiff enough to hit some big kickers. Sadly enough about a month I snapped it going off a 50 footer so I decided to move away from burton to get the www w/ rocker and I love it even better than the twin.
i spend most of the day in the park but i like doing a little

Fun but a little loose

The twin is a lot of fun for playing around on the mountain but it doesn't hold up well in more aggressive terrain or all snow conditions. A lot of chatter in choppy/sloppy snow and will lose its edge on steep or icy slopes. If you want to play in the park and butter the mountain but also want to stay in control at speed and not get beat up in the chop check out the Skate Banana.
Change me.

It is really based on weight... Check the sizing chart above.
But, here is an example:
Rider Weight
100 lb
if he will ride all over the mountain(Freeride)
143cm
If he will be into tricks (freestyle)
138cm
The smaller board will be more 'loose and playful' and easy to control. I larger board will be more stable at high speeds and float better in powder.
