LOVE the "Ride on Jake" built into the design. An iconic board by an iconic rider.
Nice review! Burton Custom 150 has been my wife's present for 2021 :) I have equipped it with step on binding (also gifted by my wife). Have a great and healthy season everybody :)
For me the best board for carving and fast rides! Good grip on icy tracks, very stable. Recommended for advanced drivers
Would this be good for beginners?
@@jp8612 in my opinion rather for advanced drivers
@@The_real_dennis do you have any good boards that you recommend for beginners, burton or non burton?
@@jp8612 I depends on your skills and your driving style. It is definitely easier to start on a rocker board because its more playfully and more revolving than camber boards. Also it has the advantage that you won't can't easily.
For me the burton clash was perfect to start
@@jp8612 for me, the burton ripcord did a really awesome job on the beginning, flexible and will forgive you for some mistakes but at the same time pretty responsive.... definitely will recommend
Enjoy
the more you post the more i miss the mountain 😭😭😭 only 43 more days
Bruh I’m counting the days down, these videos are my source of joy in life right now.
I love the clean look of the topside. Not sold on the urine-yellow bottom
I had the exact same thought.
Just picked up the Custom Camber as my first new board in years! Really excited after watching this review! I got the Burton Genesis EST bindings and am ready to hit up the mountain as soon as the snow fall comes to Mt Hood!
We have the same setup!
Same here but with the black Cartel!
Bought this board as my first new board as well, solid stable and bit stiff, all true as video commented.
Love to see a review on Hometown Hero, and a comparison with the Custom!
Yeww
This is my favourite board to keep up with my speedy skiers
Gonna replace my '98 Burton Custom with a '21 Burton Custom. Why change when it's right?
Arrived today with a pair of black Cartel bindings! 158 + M. I cannot wait to try my first snowboard after +20 years of renting!!!
Just bought this board a few weeks ago and can’t wait to use it thanks for the review! I was considering returning it for something new based of many different opinions ive heard on it but I’ll definitely keep it and try it out
Hey Parker, did you already have a chance to test it out? I would love to hear a little on how it worked for you!
Cheers!
@@walternanna6469 i just bought mine last week and the thing absolutely rips, real light weight too
Any plans to review the YES Standard?! 🔥❤️
He should!
@@ellstackeradventures yes help me get on his radar ❤️ If u read this TJ, love your style you get me and many others so excited to ride 🤘🏼🔥🖤
@@celtics1104 i so agree
I’ve been looking into the board but not many people review it
Just ordered this board yesterday, super pumped to ride it :)
My first board was a limited edition of the 2007 or 2008 Custom x Kidrobot. awesome board, rocky start for a beginner but i taught myself so much on it.
I've been rocking a custom flying V for the last few seasons, I love it, it's fun but I'm missing the good ol' camber feeling these days
I feel you! they both offer quite a different feel
I get a Flying V for 10 years and wanted to change for a different feel… well camber is tight at first ride. Gotta improve myself with it.
@@lecoutelier Yah, it's gonna feel way different but you'll be able to do stuff on your camber that you can't do on a Flying V and vice versa. It's all good though. Burton is pretty corporate now but they still make great stuff at the higher end.
@@lecoutelier Have fun! It doesn't look like many higher end boards are camber these days. I'm thinking about going for a Jones board and they don't have a full camber board.. still not sure which way to go. Maybe the best way is to have MANY snowboards :) one of each
Just ordered one today. Can’t wait. I think I may have picked the wrong bindings though. I picked up some cartel x est
Is the board EST? Does it have the two channels? Cartel X EST should be a nice match for a do-it-all custom.
Pretty sick board. I like my butters but an all mountain park board is a pretty good time as well.
Its a tough choice, butters or big.
Nice review, but I think you're mistaken on the frostbite edges. The 2021 custom had it, there is no mention of it for the 2022/2023.
Grabbing this board for this season! So hyped!
Love that opening mute grab!
Thanks for the review. I've notice you and many other people often qualify boards for different ride level (e.g. newbie, intermediate, advance) but is there a consensus on how "intermediate" is defined as? To me in order to be qualified as an intermediate, you have some capacity to ride switch as this skill is required for complex jumps in the park. However, if you're a cruiser (and not aiming to do 1080 jump), what is intermediate?
IMO it's just basic control of the board. You're not feeling unstable on it, you don't catch edges carving, you can ride switch okay, you can maneuver it quite well at speed or in tight spaces....
Generally just competent and confident.
Yep! 👍
Graphic is really cool. Lib Tech Golden Orca , when you go make the review? Thanks , nice reviews,
Would also love a review of the Golden Orca
@@tuandong703 , i bought Golden Orca!!! But i´d like one review! I will use in the January e February 2022!!
TJ you should do a review on the new Proto Synthesis from Never summer, thinking about buying one but there really isn't a good board review on it yet and i know it super popular this year
TJ - I know you tested this with the Kazu Atlas, but would you recommend that binding over the Strata for this board? Rider in mind would be more all mountain - charging down black diamonds, carving groomers, and some park laps sprinkled in between.
Just got the custom camber because of a great deal, although I am sort of a beginner (starting to link my turns and get through greens/some blues).
Any tips for a beginner who is a little intimidated by a board that’s geared toward a more experienced rider?
Always ride one edge, if you ride one edge you can't catch the other.
TJ solid vid as always!!! Have you ridden the Custom X at all? I’m interested in the on snow differences between the X and normal custom.✌🏼
Yessss same!
I have them both. X is lighter, stiffer, feels way faster edge to edge and rides better in pow but is not as good in jumps or buttering as custom. I would choose x camber (flying v sucks) if you don't do a lot of parks or buttering.
Your a legend Janne!! Thanks for the info. I have a Custom Flying V and didn’t really like it so I did get an X at the end of season sales here in Australia. 🏂🤙🏼
Ridden both, X is stiffer and faster, it’s really built for high performance at very fast speeds. I really love it but I’m actually also buying a Custom for days when it’s really crowded and an not looking to speed down the mountain at insanely fast speeds and just kinda cruise and turn easier.
I can’t find a Burton hometown hero anywhere so thinking about settling for this.
Do you have any reviews on academy snowboards? If not you should definitely do some. Great videos!
My favourite topsheet was the 10 year anniversary graphic.
ANDREAS!!!!!
Great review. It inspired me to get one. I ended up ordering a 2022 custom camber 162 with 2023 cartel x bindings. Probably my one board quiver. I Haven’t had a chance to ride it yet. Very excited about it. My first upgrade since my 2006 Burton royale camber all mtb freestyle board with 2008 cartel bindings. I mostly freeride now. Have you ridden a hometown hero? If so how does hth stack up against a custom camber? Better for freeride powder? Also Am i missing out by not trying a flying v version of a burton board with malavitas for laidback freestyle days?
Banger video!! Think you’ll get on the updated indoor survival this season?!
Hi ya, great review thanks!, do you know if the Frostbite edges have been removed from 22/23 models? cheers James
love the graph!
Im moving up into the mountains north Carolina i do skate a bit in Florida but i definitely want to snowboard some day and maybe go to canada for extreme riding
Thanks for the video bud. For a beginner, do you recommend the Flying V instead? 🤙🏼
Custom: powerful charger;
*Custom X has entered the chat* :
what binding angel you use ? (i like to ride switch time to time )
Just bought mine! Your video helped in the decisional and testing process. Thanks! ;-)
Looks sick this year
I started riding burton customs/custom x's 20years ago. This is a classic! But that it, they have kept a 20 year old design. Way better all mountain boards and way better park boards. As for pow? It sinks like the titanic. This board will hold an amazing edge at speed and is a lot of fun on fresh groomers but thats about it.
I started riding the custom about two years ago and I went to the custom x has more a feel for me but yeah the custom is a great board
Do you ever catch an edge on metal rails? Does that happen? Is there a margin for error? Do you recommend detuning edges?
All the best, Rich in Sweden.
Your riding style is amazing! Could you help me choose the right size?
I decided to go for the custom because even if my riding style is more playful I want a board which I can use the next years and grow into it. I mainly drive piste with a lot of freestyle (180/360, side hits, butters). My hight is 172 cm and weight because of working out relatively high with around 80 kg. I consider everything from 150 to 156cm. I know that the shorter ones are easier for butters and spins but would lead to less stability while carving or less pop. Maybe a 154 is the best right in the middle?
Thank you so much!
Yooo tj we NEED a tour of that gear room!!!
Hard to beat a classic down. Has Burton made any Changes to their channel system? Ive heard mixed reviews on earlier versions... coming loose etc
Est screws do not come loose any more than any other binding screws. Just people hate on burton. I have hundreds of days on est , no problems. Its the best for micro adjustability.
I've got a Custom 2018/2019 with the Channel System. I haven't had any issues with the EST bindings coming loose in just one day. However, like any other board, you should always go over all your screws each morning before you ride, and have a screwdriver in your car in case something comes loose. If you try to ride a channel system board multiple days without checking it, you might have some trouble with the screws working loose a little. Just the nature of putting more stress on fewer screws. They don't just pop wide open though. The worst I've had happen is my stance slid away from the reference point when I did multiple days and wasn't good about checking my gear. A quick pop down to the shop and they were able to fix things in a few minutes. You're trading a little more maintenance for better board feel.
@@MichaelMarvin that's exactly what i thought and had heard. Thanks for the information 👍 🙂
Mostly all bindings standard/ReFlex/EST etc have a loctite type of thread seal on the bolts from new. This eventually however wears off the more you remove and replace the bindings over and over again with time ie service/wax/quiver/storage. This is no real problem as you can replace this with a medium strength loctite and all is sweet. Always carry a Burton EST tool or equivalent for emergency service on the mountain. If you are the type of owner that puts their bindings on and leaves them on you will not have any issue at all with this.
I’m so happy you made a review on this board! I am stuck on which board to go with this season. I do all mountain riding and want to be able to tackle some pnw POW. I am torn between the Ride Warpig or the Burton custom (or even the custom x). Anyone got any advice for me?
IMO you can't go wrong with a Custom. Not the "coolest" or most inspired choice these days but i've had one in my quiver since 2001 and they've never let me down. For a sturdy all round resort deck, it just works. Not ideal for technical park work (I'm too old and crap to worry about that anymore) or really deep pow (full old school camber) but for charging piste with the odd park lap and getting just beyond the ropes, it's as close to a one board quiver as I've ever found. (But nothing beats a dedicated pow deck for the days you know you're going knee deep.) Good stable deck that will take a beating. Pairs up well with Burton Cartels or Cartel Xs. The flying V version is more mellow but can feel a bit washy, especially on icy hard pack. Not a problem if you like a loose board but I learned in the 90s when full camber was all you could get. Familiarity keeps me enjoying the carvability of the og. There's also the Kilroy version which is apparently more park focussed but I can't really comment as I've never ridden one. Whatever you go with, good luck and enjoy the season ahead.
@@stoicthedog this was actually very helpful. Thank you very much! I think I’m going with the custom with cartel x bindings. Have a wonderful season my friend!
@@JujuBerry No problem, man. That's a good setup...he says in a completely unbiased way knowing that it's exactly the setup he has. Ha ha. I suppose what I'm getting at is that in 25 years of snowboarding, I've had many boards from many brands but I've always had a Custom Camber in the mix and I've never been disappointed by them. Been let down by the quality of others though. Currently running a 3 year old Custom and last season's Lib Tech Orca. While I love the Orca for what it is, it doesn't feel half as well built as the Custom. It just gets on with the job, doesn't complain and never lets me down. About ten years ago, someone told me that you have a pow board for pow days, a soft hybrid camber board for park days and a Custom for the days that you're going to hill with no idea what you're going to get up to. To this day, I can't see a flaw in his logic.
@@stoicthedog I love that!
@@stoicthedog I’m quite the same...had several boards by different brands over the last 2 decades but almost always ride my customs. I coached a few seasons in Tahoe and my 08 custom served as my quiver of 1 for work and play, even in the fluff. I personally love the feel of the snow underfoot with EST bindings, it’s a very organic feel. I did however get to sample a buddy’s Burton Sherlock (very similar to the flight attendant) on a DEEP day and my rear leg thanked me for the break. As fun as the Sherlock was in the powder, the Custom is just better at everything else by a mile (even POW for me personally).
I had a K2 Zeppelin 52 that delaminated in two seasons and that led to my first custom 56...Which is sitting in my closet with my second Custom 56 and my 58, which I’ll be retiring for a 20 or 21 depending. There’s a reason they’re all over the place. I never wanted to be a Burton guy in my early years for whatever reason but there was no going back once I strapped into a custom. Even with my other boards, I’ll always have a custom.
Edit: I have a Lib Tech and an older Ride board and the lib doesn’t feel much better built than my old K2 but the ride feels solid...different from the Burton but solid. To Stoic’s point, Burton boards are built to last. You can feel the difference in flex between a full length wood core vs the shorter cored lib tech but that’s more of an issue with camber and less with a rocker.
How long do snowboards typically last? I feel like my custom has lost some amount of flex over the years but I don't have enough experience to know for sure. I ride about 30-40 days a season.
Love you videos TJ. Do you think Burton Custom 154cm is a good size for 5 10 and 150lbs rider?
This is the perfect set up for a beginner. Not too expensive, and the graphics are cool. My son loves it!
Hey , really nice video!!!
I am thinking to buy the custom camber as my all-mountain board. I am 187cm 88kg shoe size 11US ( Vans infuse)
What size would you recommend? Wanna pair it with Burton genesis , what size of binding s should I choose?
Thanks for any advice in advance!!!!
How it’s compare to the Goliath ?? What more fun for all mountain ride??
How does it compare to boards from Bataleon, Capita or Lib Tech line up (e. g. the Goliath) ? Which would you say is more suited for primarily all-mountain but at the same time dive into riding switch (to hit those occasional features) ?
Capita mega mercury is sick!
Hey dude! love the reviews and the commentary. this season finally gonna buy my first NEW pair of bindings and love the way union look but totally love the functionality of my old flow bindings. Tryna do mostly park but also want to have that all mountain versatility when carving. Would you mind doing review of the flow fusion bindings or Nx2 bindings that would be amazing since no other channels really does an in depth view. much love can't wait for more reviews!
Do feel like the "White Space Shaun white pro" is identical to the Burton Custom? I'm trying to an IDENTICAL Version of the Burton Custom, but without the Channel System.... I Love this Board BUT HATE BURTON BINDINGS. So I'm looking for a Burton Custom I can use My Union Atlas on
Hey dude, I will be testing the new whitespace freestyle pro (the shaun white pro) very soon. The full review will be published in the fall. You are able to mount your union atlas to the burton custom as well like I have in this video. Cheers.
Bataleon Carver, could you make a review?
can you do the process 🤞 nice vid as always
If I want a classic camber (positive camber) but like butters and feel like a 5 stiffness is to much for me. What board should I look for?
Can you do a review of the burton free thinker?
Reminds me of the westmark camber
He’s 5’10 and rides a 154, I’m the same height and have been using a 158 wide.. should I downsize my board?
Super OG
Urban dictionary is your friend.
Can you review the Flying V version?
I love the custom but on firm conditions I have problems
what kind of problems are we talkin
Edge hold on firm conditions
Custom x coming soon ?!
this might sound like a dumb question but ,I have a custom X what is the difference between the two ? thanks
The custom x is the same shape just made way stiffer. Harder charging but less forgiving.
What bindings would do the best for that snowboard
would you recommend atlas or strata for this guy? looking to cop one asap
Are you going to review the new Custom Flying V?
going to try to review a bunch of burton this season and fill their line out
What board is most like the whammy bar?
is this at copper? I thought I saw the american flyer lift
How does it compare to the Flying V tech?
You should do a custom x review
Hi, I weigh about 73kg and am about 5”10. I have been riding a ride society 160 which is now about 12 years old so time for a new
Board. I’m thinking I might be better suited for a smaller board??.. I ride a bit of everything from powder to groomed trails and park and and not sure if I should go 159 or 157. Anyone got any thoughts or guidance they could give me?
Interesting Board yo
Great board, topsheet scratches horribly though. Would recommend to clear coat it before you ride! Mine looks horrible after 2 days of use
ditto
Please leave the board stats on the screen longer, @ :25. I actually read them
Pause it
Thanks Mr. Helper.
length is 154? Strained to read it. your weight?
How would you compare it to DOA?
This board or a hometown hero?
And the flying v?
Great Video
What size did you ride?
wish that it came in black
should a beginner get this board I road only 1 season
Make o video for the burton process….
How do you use non Est bindings with a burton channel board ?
your bindings should come with a specific disc that is designed to fit the channel
🤙🏼🤙🏼
He describes every board as on the stiffer side of medium
Just when you think they can’t get any better.
Is it catchy or not too bad?
What are you trying to do with it?
@@MichaelMarvin It's full camber, so just checking if it feels like it.
@@yamz342 It's a board that's really made for bombing down groomers and holding edge on ice, so yes, the edges are going to be catchy if you're trying to use this board for jibbing in the park or you're a more inexperienced rider just learning how to make sharper turns. Catchy is all relative, though. I personally love the good edge hold of the board. If you like groomers and pointing your board down the mountain, this is an excellent board. If you're trying to do trees, deep pow, or park, I'd look at another board.
Anyone putting Malavita's on this? I see a lot of Cartel's. Not sure which one to choose.
I went with the Vitas. Order being delivered tmrw.. I'm so excited!
Pls do Ride warpig 2022
Custom vs doa..? 🤔
Hey what's the camber like when it's icy, or is the flying V better for those conditions being more way going?
Subtítulos por favor plisss🏂🤙🏻🤙🏻
yew!! first
got em!
@@BoardArchive OMG U RESPONDED!!!! I love this channel soooo much hahaha, when are you going to meet up with snowboard procamp again?
I don’t get how people buy directional boards... how does it not kill you to know your board is uneven, and why would you want your switch riding to be worse
I think people buying these boards spend 80% of their time going one direction. Not everyone is riding switch 50/50.
I feel like anyone who buys this board is super boring.
Have you ever demoed the Never Summer Peacemaker? It seems kinda unique in various conditions🤔💭🏂
