Hi everybody!  Hope everyone had a good summer...
 
It's about that time!  I cant wait for the winter, counting down the days til I can dust off my equipment and hit the slopes!  In keeping with my usual tradition, I'm doing some research, looking for good deals on lift tickets and new stuff, and I found a deal that's too good to pass up.
 
I recently found a Burton Custom 08 snowboard on sale for $209!  I googled this type of snowboard and so far found mostly positive reviews.  I'd like to see what everyone else thinks before I take the plunge, so if you know anything about this SB (good or bad) pls let me know.  In case you were wondering:
 
 
I've been riding about 2 years now, but I go almost every weekend (not easy when the slopes are 3 hours away!)
 
I consider myself an intermediate rider.  My focus this season will be on perfecting my technique and gaining more speed and control.  I also want to get better at the ramp jumps, maybe try a few new tricks.
 
I prefer an all mountain board, and I spend about 60% of my time on runs, 40% at the park.  I do mostly jumps, havent tackled the rails yet but looking forward to it.
 
My current board is called Oxygen, its a used board I bought from craigslist.  I've used it since I started SBing, but I found that I've outgrown it.  I have a brand new pair of Burton boots and Burton Custom bindings, so those are set. 
 
Thanks!

Thanks frost man!  But if I have a pair of Burton bindings already, do I still need new plates? wont the Burton bindings be ready for a Burton board?

If they cant that would be really retarded
