The 2010 Ride Kink is about about the PARK, this is a board that is made to take a beating. Sometimes there really is meaning in a name, you know that sound you here every time you hit the rail hard with you board………………… “kink”, that has to be why Ride named it. Even though this is considered a true park board, the Ride Kink is made with a twin tip FreeStyle shape and has a centered stance.
The 2010 Ride Kink features one major change and that is the addition of the LowRize sidecut. The LowRize sidecut is basically a radial sidecut without the hook. Ride refers to in like this : “Straighter, truer tracking into transitions and jibs by lengthening the blend zone from the sidecut to the tip shape. Built exclusively with the LowRize™ rocker profile.”
This Ride Kink also features the Cleave Edge and 85a Slimewalls. The Cleave Edge is all about more steel so the edge will not crack and it can take a beating, the reason why this board is a stud in the park. The 85a Slimewalls are made to absorb impact rather than defending against them, this is the little bit of love you are going to need to make you feel a little better when you are about to land the big air.
Features of the Ride Kink Snowboard:
- Thin Con
- 85A Slimewalls®
- Foundation Tuned Core™
- Cleave Edge™
- Biaxial Glass
- Fusion 1500 Base™
- 2×4 Inserts

The 2010 Burton Blunt is back for another year and bigger than ever. Burton seems to love this snowboard and is putting more and more tech into it each year. The Burton Blunt is one of the ultimate Park Boards that will help take you to the next level. Transworld Snowboard has already named the Burton Blunt the “Good Wood” Pipe board for 2010.
The 2010 Burton Blunt has top notch enhancements, the New Twin Cruise Control and the V-Rocker. The Burton Cruise Control™ technology will make you feel more confident while riding this snowboard. The reason you will feel confident is Cruise Control gives you a combination of not only being catch-free, but also have a softer flex and less edge tune and a convex nose and tail for easy riding in both directions. The second layer of new tech is the V-Rocker, Burton’s version of the rocker features a center rocker between you feet with additional rockers on the outside of each that lift the tip and tail completely off the snowboard. The V-Rocker is going to give you killer edge control and a catch-free riding experience.
Overall the 2010 Burton Blunt is going big with some major enhancements to give you the ultimate ride. Even though this is called a Park snowboard, this is a board you can have a ton of fun with on the whole mountain.
