If you pair this with Burton Malavita EST’s or the 2014 Custom EST’s with hinge tech it will spring incredibly well. It springs really well and it makes for a great jump board in the park as well as a great ollie board around the mountain as well.
Its edge hold is good enough for most pipe days too but it’s much better when it’s medium to soft. Pipe: Pretty fun Pipe board and it’s got good drive wall to wall and it springs out of the coping nicely. It’s got an easy enough flex to make for a middle ground jibbing board but it’s not a Nug or anything but it’s great for its shape and camber profile. We find there is a slight edge to boards with an asymmetrical sidecut but these are kind of in between true twins and asym sidecut twins in terms of switch riding performance.
Parkitect custom rides how to#
If you want to learn how to ride switch better and are already an accomplished directional rider you will like working on your switch riding with this asymmetrical flex.
Switch: Almost perfect either way because of the asymmetrical flex added to the true twin shape. It’s not going to have that effortless butter of the Burton Flying V or V-Rocker boards but it’s good for camber. Squeezebox works well with softer boards and it makes buttering much better for a camber board. It’s not an ice specialist but it can handle firm to hard snow pretty well.įlex: Smooth medium soft flex that butters and flexes well all over the mountain. This grips well and like most Burton camber boards they ride pretty well in most conditions. It flexes over bumps well and makes for a great board for the end of the day mountain riding.Įdge Hold: The replacement of the extension of the edges helps but the very small 1/2mm extension helps but it will not make this a board for harder snow conditions. Uneven Terrain: Burton’s boards do really well in bumpy terrain that you might encounter riding around the mountain. It’s not as fast as the Custom camber models but it sure does do well for mountain riding. Speed: The Parkitect is not like its name because it can for sure handle mountain speed. Short radius turns are pretty quick and snappy but not easy. It really springs out of a turn and it’s almost as good as the Camber Custom Restricted Twin as well as the Camber Burton Process. We both had a really good time laying into a wide radius to carving a turn. The camber and asym flex makes for rewarding turns for those that know what they are doing. Turn Initiation and Carving: The Burton Parkitect can make small, medium, wide and even carving turns fun. Compared to Flying V you would be bummed with the float of the Parkitect but if you like camber twins in powder this will be on the better side of the float. It’s got a good float for a camber twin but it’s still a camber twin in a world of hybrids that float a lot better. Powder: This is probably the only weakness with the Parkitect. It’s borderline catchy but it almost leans on the un-catchy stable side. On Snow Feel: Stable and pretty easy for camber. Set Up: Stephens big ass stance-width like 24″ wide and my stance 23″ wide 15 front -15 back. All in all, this is a very fun ride that even the hybrid shape enthusiast would like.īindings: Burton Cartel Re:Flex with Hinge Tech, Burton Cartel Limited, This is also a poppy camber twin for those that want that technical park ride. The general feel underfoot is better than your average board. It’s easier to ride switch and easier to turn. So just like the tech in a board with an asymmetrical side cut it makes for a good ride. The flex and frostbite edge extension placement follows this Duck stance instead of it being symmetrical like most boards are.
The 2016, 20 Burton Parkitect have a very similar ride.
