Found another film out tere that doesnt look like run of the mill stuff. Axel Pauporte made a documentary about big mountain riding. Fun thing of it is, he seems to have interviewed quite some older faces from the snowboarding scene, who have been killing it in the old days when being able to do a 360 was still beyond cool. Im looking forward to checking it out Unfortunately it isnt out yet, but a small taste can be found on the website;

Second tip: I tested the Burton custom X last friday. Damn, thats one lively board! carves steadily and fast, yet still forgiving and easy to fool around on. Good flowing board. It could be more agressive for me, but for someone who is looking for a good allrounder do it all on, its a pretty good bet.
Will test the T6 next week, and hopefully the K2 Zeppelin and the Salomon Special. I am eager to ride something thats not Burton, and check how that feels.
Anyone of you have any experience with these boards? Or recommendations on what to look for outside these brands? (168 cms, 67 kgs, I am looking for a board around 156, directional, pretty stiff and aggressive, as I like to carve hard, but also like to do pipe and jumps. I am definately not a rail hitter. I once had a Burton balance and I loved that board)
