The Burton Custom X is one of Burton Snowboards most popular boards and in my opinion one of the best snowboards for those all mountain freestyle riders like myself. The Burton Custom X 2012 like year past is all about the fast response time and the amazing edge control, so for the riders of the North East who always have to deal with the ice…. this is a board you will love.
What’s new with the Burton Custom X 2012? The big addition to the 2012 Custom X is the Squeeze Box Core, which will give you more snap through your turns and also give you more over stability and control of your deck with a little less effort.
What other tech makes 2012 Burton Custom X special? The Burton Custom X 2012 brings back everything from the 2011 board, but some of our favorites are the Frostbite Edges, Infinite Ride, Dragonfly Core and The Channel.
Frostbite Edges – make you feel even more in control on the ice.
Infinite Ride – helps you maintain the flex, pop and feel.
Dragonfly Core – Light, Responsive and Strong
The Channel – Ride the setup you want anytime any ride… easy to change for all conditions.

Boston – The 2012 Ride Snowboard line has come a long way from when they launched some 10 years ago. Ride Snowboards is no longer a small boutique snowboard company, but one of the top players in the industry making snowboards for riders who like All Mountain, FreeStyle or Park & Pipe.
The Ride Snowboards 2012 line includes 2 hot new shapes with the Hybrid Twin Tip and rhe Hybrid All-Mountain.
The Hybrid Twin Tip includes a micro rocker in the tip and tail and then a micro camber between the feet, unlike a traditional rocker this gives you more of a loose fun riding feel while also providing the control between you feet for landings.
2012 Ride Snowboard that have the Hybrid Twin Tip:
- Ride DH 2.7
- Ride DH 2.6
- Ride Arcade UL
- Ride DH2
- Ride OMG
The Hybrid All-Mountain shape is all about having rocking in the nose of the board and then a nice camber from you front foot through the tail. This type of design is perfect from all riders and conditions as the board will float nice in the powder and it will traverse and hold nicely on pack.
2012 Ride Snowboards with the Hybrid All-Mountain Shape:
- Ride Berzerker
- Ride Highlife UL
- Ride Farah
Ride has done a nice job upping their game in 2012, so make sure you check out their boards.
