Just started 'actually' riding.. - Snowboarding Forum

I just got my first real snowboard, a Burton Hate. I saw a few people say bad stuff about Burton boards here. Are they looked down upon? Like will people think I'm a douche poser? Because I really just picked it because I liked the shape/size/flexibility, not because it's the "popular" brand.

Not at all burton is a very popular brand and is not looked down upon. They make quality products. You will not get any hate from your board. Maybe if you had like a lamar a sims or a morrow youd get alot of hate but not burton at all, very popular brand.

Hahah okay cool, just making sure. Cause someone assosiated burton with rich snobs. I don't want to be the kid who rolls up into line in the park and everyone prepares to get snaked.

Yes, I agree with dfrey1496 burton is a popular brand. There's nothing to worry about as long as you are comfortable of riding it.
