100%! Current Burton is garbage. The soul of the brand died with Jake. Everything is so watered down, and the graphics are SO boring.

If anyone else wants to geek out on board specs:)

I thought that too until I got on a Gril Master. IMO it's a great board (and the first Burton I've owned).

I'm also a huge fan of all the work that they put into StepOn because it's pushing everyone else to make big changes in their bindings. It's possible that FASE and Supermatic would be a thing without StepOn, but likely they were developed because of competition.

Competition is good.

how many of you are mourning that Burton killed off Flying V for next season

Flying V was ass.

I'm frankly shocked how long flying v stuck around for.

Are you shocked that Libtech still offers it?

IMO although same concept, I think C2 is done better. Seems less aggressive/wonky, and typically doesn't have early rise in addition to the main profile. I'm not a fan of any rocker profile, but just sayin'

Agree with that.. C2 is definitely better and I'm also not a huge fan of any rocker profile. Flying V is just awful.

I did enjoy the Neversummer Swift though. I'd like to get on one again now that I'm a much stronger rider and see if I would still like it.

I don't mind flying V at all. Makes riding a twin super fun in the powder, I don't notice that much of a downside in any conditions other than super hard packed. I think cambered twins with early rise is the best overall do anything bend though.
