Burton Whammy bar - Snowboarding Forum

I have the opportunity to buy a Burton Whammy bar (brand new) for 130 dollars. Should I?

I have a K2 Raygun and I am using it as a transitional board to go into the park with. I feel that as I get more advanced, the whammy bar will be a good Strictly park only board. Thoughts?

considering its a $400 board, i would pick it up in a heartbeat.

I did. Just FYI if you have a dicks sporting goods near you- all the 2011 boards are 50% off. I got a k2 moment (for gf), u2 raygun, and Burton whammy bar for a total of 350.

Sure. Sell it for profit if you don't want it. Should make a pretty good jibstick. But the dish in the middle is gonna make it scary for jumps or speed.

Kill it on some urban.

Thanks for the heads up. Just went to my local Dick's and got a Burton Hero and some Cartel's for $200. Gotta love clearance!

I love those dicks sales back in the day.

I wish they had the cartels in my size. How much they run you?

Board was $135, cartels were $85. The dude working the snowboard area could not believe how much they were marking everything down. Hell, even if you're just planning on buying and reselling on craigslist...it's a steal over there right now.
