What kind of atmosphere is the BURTON TEST RIDE TOUR?
Have you been to the Burton Test Ride Tour?The latest models of snowboards that will be on the shelves next season are available in a wide range of sizes.Choose the board you want to ride, talk to the staff, set the bindings to the latest model, and go to the lift.Boards I've never ridden before, new models of familiar boards, lengthening or shortening the size.You can check your compatibility with yourself.When you ride and compare various boards, you can feel various ride comfort, such as "Oh, this is good", "It may be a little difficult for me", "I think a board that can be stepped on more firmly is better".Burton has a wide range of models, so it may not be enough to spend a whole day test riding all models, but I'm sure there is a board that is perfect for you.Finding it should be a lot of fun.
*Please bring your own bindings before participating.

A direct hit report on the impressions of riding the latest BURTON model
Press tricks were very easy to do!
★ Kanagawa: Yamapi (51 years old) / Snowboard history: 20 years / Favorite rider: Dave Downing / Board currently in use: BURTON CK NUG 150
★ Test drive board: TRICK PONY
If I was checking various boards at the venue, what kind of ride would it be like in a strange way?I was curious, so I took a test drive.When I tried the test drive, it was a board that was easy to turn and very easy to ride.Because of the flexibility, I was able to do press tricks very easily.
Switch riding is very easy, I was surprised
Kanagawa: Kensuke Hachuda (17 years old) / Snowboard history: 3 years / Favorite rider: Danny Davis / Board currently in use: BURTON CUSTOM 140
★ Test drive board: TWIN
I'm riding CUSTOM now, and I was curious about a model with a different shape, so I tried riding TWIN.Anyway, this design, the dark feeling of the skeleton is very cool.Unlike the directional board I usually ride, I felt that switch riding was very easy.The repulsion was good and I slid comfortably.
The sharpness of carving was more than expected
★ Osaka: Pome (20 years old) / Snowboard history: 2 years / Favorite rider: Nothing in particular / Board currently in use: K2 LIFE 155, GRAY DESPERADO TI TYPE R 163
★ Test drive board: CUSTOM X
Right now, the binding is BURTON's MALAVITA, so I wanted to match the board with BURTON, so I tried a test drive. I've never rode CUSTOM X before, but it was great to ride it.Especially the carving was sharper than expected and I was surprised.It has a good grip and a sense of stability, and I am very glad that it responded according to my image.
I feel like Danny Davis!!
★ Chiba: Mikiya (30 years old) / Snowboard history: 13 years / Favorite riders: Danny Davis, Mark Sollors / Board currently in use: BURTON PROCESS 152
★ Test drive board: EASY LIVING
I like Danny Davis, so I tried riding EASY LIVIN on which he is riding.Anyway, I like the graphic of Red Zeperin.that's cool.The feeling of control was different from the board I'm riding now, and I was a little confused, but the kicker and pipe seemed to be in very good shape.
The stability of carving, I felt like I was getting better!
Gunma: Ryo Asako Chigira / Snowboard history: 18 years / Favorite rider: Anna Gasser / Board currently in use: BURTON TALENT SCOUT
★ Test drive board: FEEL GOOD
By all means, I wanted to try the stability of FEEL GOOD carving.It feels like you want to try the correct slide rather than playing.When I stepped on it, it was firm and the carving was very stable as expected.I thought it was a good match for my slip.
It was a very fun board with good operability
★ Saitama: Ayako Ose / Snowboarding history: 19 years / Favorite rider: Josh Darksen / Board currently in use: SALOMON SICK STICK
★ Test drive board: DAY TRADER
My friend recommended that I don't like DAY TRADER, so I wanted to give it a try. I haven't had a lot of BURTON boards before, so I definitely wanted to try it.Anyway, the stability and operability were very good and it was easy to ride and I enjoyed it.It goes perfectly with your riding.
