What is a DC 156?

DC’s The 156 was designed with Mons Roisland to meet his slopestyle needs. This blunt-tipped true twin is constructed with traditional camber and a lightweight FreshDeck™ top sheet. Snowboarders everywhere love traditional camber because this profile naturally offers explosive ollies and powerful turns by inherently loading up the tip and tail. Alternating stringers of poplar and the ultra-lightweight paulownia throughout the length of the wood core provides a smooth flex in our lightest core. This means all-terrain versatility in what just happens to be the most commonly requested size. —David Powers Appel, DC Global Director Hardgoods

Is the Xfinity jump board stiff?

It’s an awesome jump board. It is stiff, has good pop, and it feels really solid on the take off and the landing. I think the torsional stiffness makes it really stable off of jumps. I would feel comfortable taking it off larger jumps.

Is the sidecut good?

It was good, but because the sidecut isn’t as deep it didn’t initiate turns quickly, but because of its stiffness torsionally, it did hold onto the turns. It is fairly stiff, so it has a lot of power and feels better on edge, but it is also playful because the tip and tail are pretty soft. It powers through the slush.

What is Burton Deep Thinker?

Danny Davis’ new take on extra-poppy, pow-friendly performance, the Burton Deep Thinker is a directional spin on Danny’s go-to for hot laps in the park, pipe, or mobbing side hits across the mountain. Adding the float and responsiveness of Directional Camber to a unique shape with just a touch of taper ups the all-mountain abilities while keeping the freestyle performance on full blast. 45° Carbon Highlights deliver snappy pop without the stiff side effects. The Deep Thinker features 100% FSC™ Certified wood cores and bio-based epoxy. That’s a big deal.
