Burton Snowboards Research and Development Project
TOP 10 BOARD TEST: BURTON DRAGON
As a pro rider, Max Jenke hasn’t bought a board in years; even though he’s not claiming a board sponsor these days, he’s still got plenty of connections to avoid busting out his wallet. So it says a lot when Max said, “Sh!t, I’d buy this board!” after testing the new Dragon from Burton.
A few testers thought the Dragon stepped it up all over the mountain, but most felt that its true realm of expertise was the halfpipe. Featuring a stiff flex profile and a solid amount of sidecut, the Dragon likes to track smooth up the wall of the pipe and pop off the lip.

Hated by amateurs, Loved by professionals. I sent the specs and idea for a snowboard park / halfpipe "Lamborghini" and thanks to JG this popped out.
