Burton Joystick Snowboard

I love this board! I recently broke my '10 joystick and I was delighted to find that this board was loaded with a couple of new features!! Although it is little heavier than my '10 joystick it is super poppy and much more stable at high speeds! I've hit some pretty fat jumps on this baby and it sticks out the landing no problem. As for groomers and pow (not super deep), this thing just holds an edge like a camber board but floats like ice cream on soda thanks to the rocker shape. I haven't taken this sucker on the ice yet but I am excited to see what it's capable of in worse conditions. The squeeze box is no gimmick! It makes the ollies a little easier and higher (though it might be all in my head). I'm not too sure how much of the jumper cables have made a difference in my riding but the 2012 is far more responsive and versatile than the 2010 model. It might be a little on the expensive side but trust me! You will temporarily forget the dent in your wallet while you are riding this thing. You might also want to get a board lock for this thing haha
