Strength:

Super stiff, feather light, carves by thought alone, holds an edge like a katana, accelerates like a Porsche, and is as unforgiving as a Catholic School Nun.

Weakness:

"is as unforgiving as a Catholic School Nun." (if you call it a weakness)

I''ve ridden countless boards and can safely say NO OTHER BOARD COMPARES TO THIS ONE! This board is nothing more than an unfair advantage in the park. It carves pipe like an ice skate, lands jumps effortlessly, and will push anyone willing to the next level. This modern marvel of snowboard technology is not for the beginner or the faint of heart. The harder you push yourself a top it, the better it behaves. This is a precision snowboarding instrument ready to reward anyone that has put forth time and dedication into their riding. Buy it, Ride it, fall in love with it.

Strength:

Very fast down the mountain. Very light and edge grip is sick.

I didn''t know what I had bought except the most exspensive burton board at a really good price so I jumped on the deal. Wow was I blown away. This board is super fast and light. The edge to edge is very quick too. Very stiff. I would not recommend it to beginners. This board makes you want to ride it hard. Slap on a pair of great bindings and you have a awesome board.

I demoed the dragon 162 yesterday.WOW!! Blows any board i''ve ridden off the mountain.Only negitive remarks would be, too narrow(heel and toe drag on intermediate runs and up.size 11 boot.) Carving is superb.Going from edge to edge is effortless.The board is loaded with pop.From flat ground to a 10ft kicker, you will soar higher and further with confidence.Don''t worry about the landing.This board stuck''em for me every time.I even felt more confident on the rails.I usally don''t touch those things until i''ve had at least a full day of riding in on a new board.I used it on the easyest to the hardest trails at Camelback Pa on loose granular and hard pack snow for 2hrs. Burton wasn''t too happy that i had it for such a long time but they got a sale from me, so relax demo guys.not recomended for beginers.Advanced riders will have the most fun with this board.

I''ve been riding for about 7 years now,and I was blown away by this board. It''s very fast, turns on a dime, and seems to never come down(once airborn). The only thing I can see wrong the board is that I want to put it over my fireplace because it looks so f''in cool, and you also want to cry the first time you get the top sheet scratched.

Customer Service

When I ordered my board I had to go thru a dealer since burton will not deal with costomers themselves. It took a month and a half to recieve my board once ordered. I hope the rest of the costomer s

The first day i got this board i was pretty stoked about it because i saw all the burton guys riding it during a demo burton held. After I paid the Burton Rep. i headed out and rode it. The first day there wasn''t nothing wrong with besides a little chip on the top of the board. A couple a weeks later the board started chipping like crazy. I didn''t bother it though cause i still felt like i had a dope ride, until i went to try to noseslide a box and i heard a crack and i looked down and there was a small crack goin across the board.

This is the board I would sell my soul for. After demo''ing one this weekend, it''s all I''ve been able to think about. Stiff, weightless, and holds an edge like a vise grip. Think about a carve and you''re already halfway thru it. Edge work is telepathic and the base provides warp speed. The most fun I''ve ever had on a snowboard. I''m selling every board I own (3) so I can get one of these. The only thing I''m not stocked on is the $560 price tag.

Customer Service

The guys running the Burton demo were great. Really helpful!
