Burton Custom X

Like the good old Vienetta, the Custom X is justifiably a classic in its field although beginner beware: this is a board for riders looking to barge their way to the front of the queue for the sweet trolley.

So how do you improve on layered chocolate and vanilla perfection?

This year's refinements include a supremely light engineered core that is powerful and responsive, yet returns more energy and pop for huge Ollie power.

Stainless steel edges deliver control at high speeds, quick power down turns that hold forever and a smooth feeling ride that makes riding over choppy terrain feel pleasant.

Magnum? Pah.
