Dave here at The House talking about the super versatile
Burton Mayhem snowboard. What you are looking at is pretty much kill-it-all fun on this snowboard. It kind of can do freestyle, can do freeride. Burton has been listed with all mountain freestyle, which basically means all mountain. Really good value on this snowboard. What you are looking at is you got their 10:45 sidewall, really like the sidewall a lot. Puts a lot of meat directly over the edge, so it is durable, it is got a lot of bite, but that may change into a slant wall right at the stop to save some weight. It is kind of the best of both worlds on that one.
This one runs the super Fly Core, tried and true core for
Burton, still lighter than a lot of other companies' high-end cores. Tons of laminations as far as different pieces of wood that go into this. It will orient the grain of the wood outwards or vertically, how you are looking at it right now. So that takes the energy from the inserts and the snowboard binding, puts it right to the edge, so you get really good grip with it.
On this one, you are looking at a sintered vision base, got really good pop on the graphics. This has a sintered base.
Burton has the best base finishing out of anybody in the industry. I think it is ready to go right out of the box for a good 3 to 5 times out. It only gets faster the more you wax it. This one is going to have a directional shape. It has got a little bit longer nose than tail with twin flex. That's kind of what helps it have its versatility as far as being able to do park or being able to do high speed groomers as well too.
Cool graphic on this one. You got a little see through window rocking to the wood core.
Burton does utilize a full tip-to-tail wood core on this one or on every snowboard I should say with the exception of their high-end aluminum honeycombs.
.
Other than that, you got your infinite ride process built in on this one. They are going to overbuild the snowboard and stick it into a machine that simulates about three years of usage. Technology really does work. You are going to flex it the day you get it out of the box, it flexes the same two years down the road. So really good longevity with the snowboard.
So, Burton Mayhem, I mean super good price point, kind of do everything snowboard. Flex rating: you are probably looking at say maybe like 4 out of 10, so it is forgiving. An entry level rider can still get on this snowboard, but still be rocking it five years down the road too. Just super versatile
Burton Mayhem snowboard.
Description
Burton Mayhem Snowboard 162
Ride it like you stole it. Slow down. Just because the Mayhem is capable of supersonic speeds doesn't mean you have to go that fast. And just cause the Grip and Rip edge tune cuts like a knife doesn't mean you need to spray every snowler-blader in sight. When all that speed inevitably sends you skyward, the super stabilizing mid wide shape will give you the confidence to stomp with grace. Supersized boots? Try the Mayhem Wide.
