  11. Burton FP's and Ultraprimes

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Burton was the first to standardize insert placement when they started the 3D pattern. Most bindings were still getting screwed to the deck then. My first Burton was the first board I had with inserts.Probably patented it. That's why everybody else went to 4 hole.

    not only that, but burton also accomodates 4 hole patterns with some of their bindings, they didnt have to do that

    I think im pretty qualified to comment here, as this was my first year carving, and ive been carving all year on a 99 Burton FP160 with Burton Rattraps and Burton Winds. I personally love my board, its turny, a little stiff before you break it in, and of premium build quality.as a starter board, its great. My basis for comparison is very valid as well, as the other slalom board ive ridden is a nearly new Pogo Overdose 162 with TD2's and deeluxe Track 325's, an obviously more expensive and quality setup. I found it easier to initiate and "pop" around to another turn.

    if your looking into burton, Klug still has a few left, he has several 99 160 FP's and som R-17 addicteds, which are comparable to some of the higher end custom boards. the FP's go for about 160, and come with a sweet burton sticker and are brand new.

    EDIT: i cant believe im the first to mention the R-17's they are quality carving decks, and dont tend to be more than 3-4 years old when bought NOS
