In this snowboard review video we are going to take a closer look at the 2016 Burton Custom Flying V, a playful all-mountain freestyle snowboard with Burtons proprietary Flying V hybrid rocker profile. This is a twin snowboard in between the contact points, but outside has a slightly longer nose so technically it has a directional shape. We tested it out at Breckenridge resort and had a great time on the slopes and in the terrain park. Even though we didn’t have the opportunity to test powder conditions, the directional nose and overall rocker profile are going to help float in powder. Overall this was a very versatile snowboard and could be a good choice for snowboarders of any skill level.

I love seeing this guy ride
He's way too smooth.
I didnt like his riding, under-rotated spins, awfull carving, sorry (
Nick B I am, so as many other people do. Frontside carving - wrong body position, looks noob.. some tricks are ok, but nothing more
I loved his riding because you could see he was was having a great time, and that’s by far the most important thing. In fact, it’s the only reason for doing it.
@@steveareeno65 I agree! That's why I ride for sure. Can't believe I commented that four years ago lol. Just rewatched the video and again, TJ makes it look easy!
I have the 2020 custom FV wide that I ride with est cartels and rulers. Currently the best setup I have ever ridden; just because I like to do a bit of everything and have to keep up with my skier mates out the park. Definitely dont have a stability issue on the landings with the 2020, but I've found it does grind down its effective edge fairly quickly if you plan on sending it hard.
I have to say something for the sake of newer/less confident riders out there :) I'm sure a confident intermediate or a "pro" can make a flying V work well, but if you are a beginner or maybe in between, still having some confidence issues that prevent to say you are a true intermediate - maybe look at other boards first.
I tried a flying V recently and it was a miserable experience :( Hard to turn but lacks that edge and stability of a normal camber. I then tried a Flat to Rocker board and it felt much much better. Had stability, great edge grip and easy to turn.
I asked people at a local board shop (which has a good rep) and they also dislike the flying V.
I would advise to most people to try it before buying.
Noz28 that's what I found too. when I was carving or doing a slight slip turn, if I put a little weight on the front foot, the entire rear edge slips in an uncontrolled/unpredictable way. if you get used to that and keep your weight even, i guess it would work okay. i wouldn't call it high performance though. rocker flat rocker is the best. good float in powder and predictable stable performance everywhere else.
Agree. I have nitro team gullwing which has similar profile. The board is fun to ride but when the snow is hard packed the turns at fast speed can be tricky due to moderate edge grip and bouncy response. It is great for pow though
Noz28 I’ve only been snowboarding like 3 times, 1 week every time. So I technically am considered a beginner but I bought a custom Flying V and it’s amazing for me. I was going down Swiss blues and reds literally in my second time ever snowboarding. Idk if the board helped me at all or if I’m just good because I’m naturally just good at sports and board sports. Carving was pretty good and I never really lost control of the board. Connecting quick turns was also pretty good.
I got this board this month. Did my first day on it 2 days ago, love it.
WOoo stoked that i got this as my first board, love your style TJ! hopefully can meet you in Perisher and learn a few tips ;) :D
This guys riding style is amazing
I had one of the older custom flyer's and it was the best board I've had.
You guys are awesome! Great job supporting our community and getting new people to give it a try. I am thinking about getting a board myself so I liked this review. Keep it up!
riding goals ! smooth freestyle boarding love it
Hey guys,
Denis from Montenegro here. I'm big fan and I'm following your work on every possible platform, and first of all I want to thank you for all the tutorials and tips you guy's have done. It's really helpful and useful.
I'm planning to buy new snowboard/bindings/boots, so I was wondering if you could tell me if my planned setup is right for me. Maybe I overkill it.
I am... Lets say intermediate rider, but I'm progressing really fast, and I ride about 20 days/year, so I really dont want to buy new board every year.
Also, I'm 6ft 3 tall, 210 lbs
I would like to ride All Mountain, but also to hit park sometimes (rarely). Maybe even some powder, tree ride... But mainly on piste.
So, I was planning to buy:
Burton Custom Flying V 162w
Burton Cartel bindings
Burton Moto Boa boots (I just love that Boa system)
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Greetings from Montenegro.
Denis
P.S. Sorry for bad English
Nice video dude!!! I've just got the same board and was looking for review and this was a really great review. Good job on this video!!
Thanks Gordy!
thanks for the review! just bought this board gonna be trying it this week
a1000asians Just curious how are you liking it?
How was it
TJ I mah call you & Kev the Pro XXX Snowboarder! Everytime i watch the actions when you ride seems like I’m watching Vin Diesel on his movies XXX! Love it dude!! Keep it up more reviews to share! 🏂🙌💯➕✔️K📧♈️🔝☝🏻🙌
I like these reviews even though they don't really apply to me because I'm a woman. It would be awesome if you could get a woman to do some gear reviews like these but I understand that it probably won't happen.
At least these reviews help me think about different aspects of boards to look into. I got an Arbor Poparazzi (144) this year (my first season) but I think I might want a board that will allow me to be a more aggressive rider at some point. I could already feel my board getting a little unsteady at speed. Not sure what profile to look into or size. I'm only 5' but 150 pounds. Most boards at my weight are as tall or taller than me. The 144 already comes up to my eyes. Any thoughts?
I'll try and find a girl who can review boards for us next season or possibly this summer!
+SnowboardProCamp Thank you. Looking forward to it!
im torn between something like the custom V or the clash. basically a beginner, not my first time on a board per say but my first actual board (first was an old school walmart board). i want to be able to ride but also want to be able to grow and progress as time goes on. moneys not the biggest factor as i can find a way to put in what i need to. i also have some lib techs on my mind but i think id prefer burton.
forgot to mention, im a bigger rider. 6'3-4 260+ weight, size 13 shoe.
I think the Flying V could be a good option for you, but with a size 13 boot make sure you are getting the Wide option of any board you choose.
I definitely would say the Clash. The Clash will help u progress very quickly
Hey love your videos, i was wondering if you have any videos like demos or edits of your best snowboarding?
Hi, great reviews, hope you keep em coming next season! Can you do a review of yes the greats?
Thanks! More reviews are coming next season, and we already have one filmed for the 2017 Yes The Greats it will be released towards the end of the summer!
cool! i will be waiting for that video.
i absolutely MUST ask. I cannot decide between this board and the twin version. and FlyV or camber. i think i prefer camber tho. im not much up to tricks yet and i will def NOT b doing any big jumps. Also i own a Burton Barracuda for offpist/powder runs. what would make me chose one over the other? was thinking i need a more all-mountain board apart from the powderone i have.
good video!!
can you guys do some review on burton process off axis.
thanks
Hi snowboard pro camp, I live in New Zealand and have just brought a k2 vandal. It is really good and my first snowboard but I really need some help learning to ollie . I have got all the basics down e.g turns, stopping and all that. But it is quite heavy any tips?? I have already looked at your video Thanks! nice video btw
I still trying to figure out if I buy the "Camber" or the "Flying V" version.
I tried the flying V and is much easier for any trick that require switch but it does not give you much control high speed because it has less contact with the floor. It was harder to stop/break.
The Camber gave me much more control for carving and break, its just a little bit harder to switch.
I felt like camber was much easier for me, I'm a beginner/intermediate and I like to have more control.
I don't understand why many people recommend to Beginners the "Flying V" version over the "Camber ". Any idea why?
+SnowboardProCamp
You guys should review the 2017 version. I'm curious if it has noticeable differences than the 2016 version
board has been very very similiar since 2011. Ive ridden almost all of em not much change
hi guys....i need you.....how can you suggest me the degrees for the position of my attack?now i have + 15 front and +15 post, just to make some funny.
thanks
TJ - I saw your review comparing Camber and Rocker Arbor boards. I am between purchasing a Burton Custom Flying V or either an Arbor Camber/Rocker. Any advice/suggestions?
Nice jacket!
Thanks!
that was a sick line ayo
Nice! Is it good for beginner with good progress?
Hey man, great review. What do you recommend as far as board size for a 5'11, 175 lbs, 10.5 US size. All mountain stance width around 52-53 cm. Mostly for carving and some powder. 158 perhaps? No park for me.
159
It's fair to say you're quite good at snowboarding.
Hey, i love your snowboard vest! Can you tell me what type it is? Thx
What do you do when you are not being a snowboard instructor AKA In the summer time? Do you rely on youtube to live? Sorry if this is too personal, you dont have to answer if you dont want. :c
Hey guys I'm looking to buy a snowboard I'm a 6'0ft weigh 150lbs mostly wondering what size I should get and also wondering whether to get a Flying V or a camber I'm looking more into all mountain freestyle
Is the process a step down or worse in any major ways?
Thorvald Bean the process is more park and the custom is more all mountain. there equally as good but the process is more park oriented.
Zack Gruszkiewicz Thank you!
Can you make snowboard vlogs at mount bachelor
@snowboardprocamp how was the carving on the Flying V?
Azeem Vishnani any answers ?(
Do the Burton Process Off-Axis :D
I will try to get on some more burton boards ASAP!
Is the large carving from a parka catinium, v deflection or camber?
im looking to get burton custom camber but don't know if 169 is going to be too big for me? i where size 13 boot im 6'3 and weigh 210 . any suggestions or inputs?
Luis Neri should be perfect
I'm 6'4" 190-210ish and 169 sounds fucking huge to me. I've always liked shorter boards though. I personally like mine 160-166 wide.
Luis Neri burton has a size chart on their website. I’m 5’10 160 and I ride a custom Flying V 150 and it’s literally perfect for me.
burton process off axis 2016!!!
Hey Kevin, will you ever come to Australia. Are k2 snowboards good. And what binding brand should I get?
Cooper Faith I think k2 boards are good. I would buy the same brand binding as your boot. That way they for more snug.
please make more videos
which board would you recommend if i want a flying v AND a twin tip?
Could you please try to make a video on " hop on rails"
Do a search for "rails" on the channel and I have a video for doing your first hop on rail!
Would you say that this board rides normal or dose it feel different
U should do the capita horror scope
We have a review for the Capita Ultrafear coming out soon, definitely looking to do more Capita boards this season
+Board Archive sweet!
you ever been to camp of champions?
is a 158 board to small for a 5.9 dude that weights187 pounds
im 5'10 & 195 and I rode a 155 last week with no issues on the snow and I ride a 151 which is pretty small for me but on the indoor infinite carpets, so I'd say 158 is definitely not too small for you..
Oh you are killing me. I wanted to take my custom Flying V to Breckenridge this winter but my bro got hurt
I went to Breckenridge in March it was great we had powder everyday.
Maybe next year! It definitely is a fun resort.
Miracle March 👍
how does this compare to process?
Flying V ..? Sounds interesting
My Board! *-* 😁😁
Can you guys do one on the Rome Mod Rocker?
We're hoping to get on some Rome boards this season!
Music???
There's a link to the music in the description.

What size is this board?
Breck is the best
Any ideas for the binding and boots for this board :)?
I wear the Thirty Two TM-two boots and I love them, they're medium support. As far as bindings go just make sure they use the Burton channel system if you're using them on this board.
i'm 5'9 tall my weight is 130 lbs and my shoe size is 10 is that Board something for me? and which size should i get? 150, 152, 155?
You would probably enjoy size 151 the most, you could step up to the 154 but it might be a little stiff for your weight: boardarchive.com/burton-custom-flying-v-snowboard-review/
