I am looking at buying a new snowboard. How is the Burton Lipstick?
I am an intermediate boarder looking at buying a new snowboard. I am interested in learning how to do rails and boxes this year. Is the Burton lipstick a good choice? if not, which board would you suggest.
The Lipstick is a kinked rocker model (both the V and P rocker styles are kinked rocker designs). You would want to be very sure that that is what you want as they do not work well for all riders.
There is something you should be aware of with all kinked rocker, partial rocker and half and half rocker boards. These are all designed with various stages (you can call them kinks) to the structure of the board. The idea is that these will beter line up with the rider's binding mount positions and when weighted will better smooth the end curve or arc of the board.
BUT, there are a lot of things that keep that from happening. First off, all riders have there own weight, stance width, angles an even style, and all of these thing can fight where these pre-determined kinks or bends have been placed on the board. That is why the industry is seeing such a huge turnover of the original kinked and rockered boards. They all have "grab spots" that tend to act in odd an unexpected ways for different riders with different mounts and styles.
If you are expecting a smooth ride, these are not for you.
As with all designs, there are some very good things about these boards, but they are VERY specific, and should not be sold as all mountain boards.
