Burton - Feelgood (08/09)
|
FUN-O-METER RATING SYSTEM:
|
Testers had the most fun on this board in the halfpipe, but felt it was a bit stiff for other park features.
|
Shred Betties Says: A lot of our testers felt that this board was a bit stiffer than what they’d usually want to ride, especially on rails and other small park features. The stiffer flex pattern was the most fun in the halfpipe and on agressive freeride terrain. Despite what Burton says, we didn’t feel that this board would “perform no matter what your skills or style.” It would be best suited for a solid intermediate to advanced rider most interested in riding pipe and steeps. Burton Says: For the Feelgood™, we’ve taken the legend to the next level by adding the Channel. This system gives riders like Kelly Clark, Hannah Teter, and Molly Aguirre unlimited stance adjustability with any Burton binding. The Super Fly II™ core and Triax™ fiberglass provide lightweight snap and strength, while years of fine-tuning have produced a flawless feel that performs no matter what your skills or style.
