The Palmer Burn is one of the most underrated snowboards in the world. The Burn is a freestyle powerhouse for riders who stomp nice tricks in the park then beat their buddies in a race to the lodge. Palmer designed the Burn to be soft enough for technical freestyle riding, but is torsionally stiff enough for high-speed turns. The Palmer Burn has tons of ollie power built into the tail. I recommend the Palmer Burn for freestyle riders who also have the need for speed. Remember, last one to the lodge, buys the beers! What board do you trust in a race?
