Alright so I was pretty bummed out about the discontinuation of the Burton Tadashi Fuse pro model but I think I found my board for next season! The Burton X8 155. After talking to some of my buddies who own the 07/08 model and fishing around on the internet I am pretty convinced that this X8 is going to be sick! I have heard its really playful and dominates in the park which is my kind of ride. Also from what I have read Tadashi Fuse is apparently providing input for the X8 so it should be a fun board to ride. Oh and did I mention the top sheet colors change due to temperature. Sold! That won't actually be a deciding factor but its still pretty sweet.

I rode this board on Thursday up at Breck.
This is my first season living somewhere I can snowboard on a regular basis so I have been demo'ing boards to figure out what I want to get. This has been my favorite so far. I've tried a Never Summer SL-R and a Lib Tech TRS BTX.
For being a park board I was surprised at well it handled the groomers. It was real responsive and a lot of fun. I don't know if it was me or the board, but I had a tough time with it in powder in the trees.
Thanks for the post, I'll receive mine tomorrow and think I'll participate in some summer indoor park sessions :-)
