quick question...the burton dragon

[kemet64]

hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get one of these. This was my first choice when I was deciding to get a new board, however, it turns out that other than ebay, there are none out there that I could find. If you know of any places that sells them, please tell me.



I was looking at the "best rated snowboards" and the Dragon happened to be on there. Sure do wish there were still some around, but all I can find is reviews and sites in weird languages. No boards :(

I have been looking for a burton dragon as well and since even burton own website doesn't have it listed anymore I have come to the conclusion that they have discontinued it. I am currently in the bidding process for an 03 dragon off of ebay. Wish me luck cause I believe that I will need it.

yea i saw those....problem is that they are a bit too big for me...

I am still wondering why they discontinued them....from what I have heard and been reading, they were some of the best boards out there.

Good luck in your bidding.

good luck, there's nothin worse then being sniped out at the last second. (I'm still griping about a video game I lost to one of those slippery snipers :mad: )

you said it. I lost it, my connection was lost about a min before it was over logged back on and poof it was gone. Not very cool. The bidder outbid me by $2.00. I am currently trying to contact the seller to see if he has anymore to sell but he has been unresponsive.

Haha...yeah, ebay can be a ***** sometimes...there's no counting the number of shirts I've lost to people that want to pay over $20 bucks for them...I just can't force myself to do it : )

About the Dragon...I don't know what you do, or how experienced you are...but three words can best describe the Dragon: Not For Beginners. When they say advanced pipe board, they mean it. I rented a Dragon my first year...and it was painful to watch, I'm told. I fell about every minute or so, I kid you not. The board is very stiff and unforgiving of bad technique at low speeds. This roughly translates as "little newbie falling down constantly, everyone else laughs exhuberantly". So, unless you've been riding for a few years now, I suggest something with a little more flex to it. Don't get me wrong, the Dragon is truly a top-of-the line board...it's just not for people just getting started. I found that out the hard way ;)
