Burton Cartel vs CO2- Help needed again please! - Snowboarding Forum

12-13-2007, 11:50 AM

As you can tell im getting a new settup.
If you read my other thread(custom vs custom x), you can see what conditions i like to ride.

Any idea whats better, and better for me?

Basically I do all around riding. I like riding, abit of powder, and hitting the park occasionally, also riding some of the groomed runs. All around. Speed is not a huuuuge factor. I dont mind going fast, but its not my all time goal. Im not one of those people that want to go faster and faster...just fast when I feel like it.
Im 5'9", roughly 180 lbs, 19 years old, pretty sure im almost fully grown(lol?)

anyone?????

???? input needed please lol, asap. I think im leaning towards the CO2s, just because apparently they dont have as much forward lean, and are just a better binding.

I can get the CO2 and cartels for almost the same price, i just dont know what one would be best for riding all conditions.

Well im kind of an everything rider myself. Ive got some Customs and I wanted something more all day comfortable and a lil bit more responsive so after asking almost everyone on the staff at Jay peak that snow boards Ive got some Triads that will be here on Tue. Only problem is Ive got to stick with my 4yr old Customs this weekend.

some of that lean in the cartels seems to be taken out plus they added the highbacks that contour more.

Im riding some old cheap sport chek pieces of crap lol. My first bindings

They are ok for what they are, but now they always come lose so its time to upgrade. I think im going to get the CO2s + a Burton Custom X board. Im just a little worried that Ill spend all that money, and then it wont be good for my riding type. Since i ride in all around and mountain type, from park to powder, i just want to get a good board for that.
