I am looking for a new all mountain board for next season, i have only looked into NS boards so far and was looking for some more suggestions on boards. p.s:i can do my own research on the board. Thanks in advance.

I saw someone else mention the Burton custom x.
What do you guys think about it? And would it be classified as an all-mountain board?
Custom X would be closer to the freeride spectrum of All Mountain and would be an advanced rider board.

Sorry for all your Burton large Coorporate hippies, but the Custom X is a piece of magic! Many boards are about 75 to 100 cheaper, that may feel the same, but not at the same concistancey on as many surfaces. The Custom X IMO sticks to everything and the EST actually makes a difference. If im correct, I believe that the screws going directly fron the bindings into the board, instead of through a plastic plate increases the feel for the board. Also its weight, and its response is of no other than the T6.

Go out and get the custom x!

Burton Joystick. not many people consider it or even know about it, its a v-rocker board similar to the hero but stiffer. also similar to the custom but is less expensive. you can get them for $300 right now.
another good choice would be the operator. very similar to the Joystick but a little stiffer and is cambered.

I definetly second Arbor. They make great all around boards. I just got the new Draft and it carves wonderfully.

Also, I hear nothing but great things about: K2 Darkstar and Flow Quantum. Both are regular camber though, if that is your thing.

Someone mentioned Ride Machete before. I dont know much about it, but it placed 10 i think in the 09 Good wood test, so its probably a solid board
