Terrain Parks / Burton Learn To Ride

boardsTHE LTR BOARD

Burton’s board built specifically for beginners. The LTR board has an Ultra-soft torsional flex profile to help you initiate turns. It’s got deep sidecut to pull you into a natural carve, long transition zones for easy turns and a 3-degree edge bevel to prevent hard falls.


HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR BOARD

Want to feel comfortable walking into your local shop and picking out the perfect board? Arm yourself with knowledge. Read on, and you’ll know exactly how even the most experienced riders choose their sticks.

QUICK TIPS

BOARD CHOICE RECAP
1) Your board should be as narrow as you can get away with for your boot size.
2) Standing on end, your board should come somewhere between your chest and your eyes, depending on your riding style.
3) You should flex the board, eyeball the core profile and keep in mind how the stiffness affects the overall ride.
4) Ok, NOW you can look at the graphics, because we spend a lot of time working on those, too.
