ive snowboarded for a season now. i went about 25 times last season too. and im completely in love with it so much more fun than skiing which ive done for years. but anyway ive rode a Burton clash all season with burton freestyle boots. and its time for a new board the clash ust isint cutting it anymore need a little more advanced board. i do a little bit of everything some park and mountain but the mountains arent too extreme here so. my favorite riding tho is tricking off natural stuff and stuff that most people wouldent wanna do i like getting creative. the snow here is usually artifical at the place i go 90% of the time. so it gets pritty icy. what board should i get i was looking at the burton custom,Burton custom X,Burton Con-Dom, and the GNU danny kass BTX. which one would be best?

I would take a look at Capita. I wasn't sure about them at first but after riding their boards for a while now I absolutely love them.
I ride a Black Death Inc which is their aggressive all mountain stick and it rips hard.

condom = no. horrible board on ice
custom x = no. way too much board for what you ride. its built to go fast and be ridden powerfully.
gnu DK mtx = is an option.
custom = what would choose. great do everything board. keep the edges between the bindings sharp and you won't have any trouble on ice. contrary to popular belief many of us were/are able to ride firm snow without MTX
