I’d be happy to have this as my only board knowing that whether I was dropping into the pipe, kicker line or just cruising around the mountain looking for hits it would be up to the job. The Parkitect has loads of pop and is really responsive, despite having these qualities the Parkitect is great for jibbing, it just takes a bit more effort to work those presses. It was slightly stiffer than I expected but after a couple of runs to get used to it, I really started to love it. The Parkitect is a snowboard that is suited to riders who really want to push their freestyle.
Burton parkitect review plus#
The Burton Parkitect brings some camber back to the world of freestyle, plus a whole load more tech. The result is a distinct toe and heel edge that works with your stance for smoother flex, focused pop, and direct edge control where it matters most. NEW Off-Axis Squeezebox and Frostbite means never-before-seen tweaks in 3D core profiling and edge geometries.
Working with Jeremy Jones and Zak Hale, we began designing a board built specifically around a park rider’s stance. Recently there have been some strange happenings at our Vermont proto shop. It must work because Transworld gave it a coverted Good Wood Award. Make sense? Don’t worry! In essence you’re left with a board that has a specific heal edge and toe edge and means manouverability, edge hold and pop are all improved. As a consequence you’re left with an asymetric core. This is Squeezebox technology that thins directly under the riders foot but at a freestyle stance of +/- 15 degrees. The main feature of the Parkitect is the Off-Axis Squeezebox. This deck is by no means your average snowboard but then again Jeremy Jones isn’t your average rider and if anybody has the experience and knowledge to build a killer board it’s got to be JJ the OG. Burton have embraced some fairly ‘off the wall’ technology by building the Parkitect.
