l haved been snowboarding for like seven years. Im one of those people you look at in the park and just go wow. l have a neversummer snowboard probably best brand l have ever rode. l have also rode lib tech, gnu, volkl, k2, option, capita, and burton. The worst out of all was the burton, which was 650 dollas by the way. Why does every one like burton so much they suck!
oh god please do not tell me all around good quality shit.... they are an anti-christ to snowboarding no doubt.

The only thing l can say about Burton is that people love them in part due to the fact that they are one of the oldest and most respected brands. Burton has been around longer than recognition of the sport itself. Burton does make a good board and they can be pricy but in the end it all comes down to what you like. What l would call great you may think has a bad feel or is too stiff. Personal preferance and brand recognition are your answer.

l personally like K2. l think it is just your personal style and experience. It could be a range of things - your height and weight, your stance, the type of board and snow/terrain you have etc. Everyone has their own favorites on how they ride. Burton just makes an all-around quality board.

The only reason Burton has so much notoriety is because of their sponsored riders. l mean, Jeremy jones, Shaun White, and even some pretty sick juniors. Everyone just gos for them because of their popularity.

It is a love it or hate it thing.can l ask why u did not like it?

l know that some people love their Capita's, while other is will dub it ''Crapita''.

Some people like a more solid board, compared to others who like a lighter board. NS is r made from solid wood right? Boards like the Custom X have high tech cores. There r trade offs. NS is r built like tanks, while the X is lighter.

People want different things when they ride. l for one would never want to ride a deck like a Vapor simply because it is so light. l like having a little weight on my feet.

People r always ranting about the Vapor costing so much, but they r not very deep into the industry. Palmer makes the Platinum LE which is $1900. Still think the Vapor is so expensive?

They have a good commitment to their warranty too.

Like said earlier, personal preference plays a big role too. A lot of people love their WWW's, but some people find it too soft.

Their boards can be overpriced, but their bindings r nasty IMO. It is up to the rider, & what they want. That is why there r so many companies out there.

its definately popularity
personally l think their boards suck
for example the burton vapor
$1000 board
forget that there are better boards for 300
but l do have much respect for burton as they are one of the first snowboard brands and have aided in the evolution of snowboarding
