This may be a bit of an ask but I’m intrigued by this new change burton is supposedly bringing
Would anyone be willing to share the binding and boot line up that is coming next year?
Awful choices on the colorways I wish they’d just do simple all black or gray or white boards especially for the custom x for those that don’t want to look like dweebs on the mountain. Not everyone is trying to be an edgelord
At least the custom is all white top sheet but I wish they’d did the same for the custom x.. I miss the days when boards were actually cool and unique not some weird hippy dippy acid trip or vulgar stuff
Thank you in advance

I wonder how well they do with the family tree line. Certainly neat to concept new boards every few seasons, but I can imagine it being hard for reps to educate and sell yet another new board shape to the local shops. I'm not in the industry so could be completely wrong.

My experience was… an educated rep is an educated rep, whether they re-up models annually, or run them a while.

Pushing the marketing each year, whether there is a redesign, or just a new graphic, is a different story.

B was a brand that created trends in design and fashion. The clothes from the early 2000s were incredible. A riot of fashion. Maybe now they want to bring this back and play with designs that they consider avant-garde or that they think can create trends again and be on the cutting edge of fashion. You may like this or not. But some brands go for these more strident color combinations. Personally, I think they have lost their identity and don't know how to recover it. Personally, I like other designs and black topsheets better, but I prefer the brighter colors to the tan or weak colors and line designs that they have made in recent years

I would definitely never get tired of an all black board but for a brand this would not be trendy. Look at Korua. I never get tired of that colour combination but they don't sell aesthetic trendy. They are practical in design costs and I don't think B is looking for this

Agreed
I wonder what the odds are they’ll let a random contact them to make an all black top sheet and black base custom x at their headquarters

Also what’s the deal with endeavor boards? Seems like a no name brand yet uses the channel

Why make an all white custom but not custom x or higher end option? It makes no sense

Endeavor is definitely a name and has been using the channel for awhile now

korua sells the trend that carving is cool and you too, the rad dad, can dig a wicked trench. their early videos were great, I fell into the hype immediately.

the custom x sucks, last year’s was pretty plain though..

Endeavor’s been around for over 20 years. They’re less popular than the heavy hitters but have made quality gear for the better part of their existence.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber

How does the Burton antler compare to the custom and the custom X?

Antler is much softer. Hasn’t been in the lineup for years, though.
