Yeah its got the ICS system, i'd be interested to see whether it creates any dead spots on the board..or anything like that…

The Custom X is a slightly different beast than the custom. The X is a bit more directional, stiffer, but lighter board than the custom. Did he get the ICS system on the board? The X is going to be more mountain orientated, because of it's stiffness. The Legacy holds it's own, no need to worry Also keep in mind, rider preferences differ, but I totally understand those fun pointless arguments!

Ha ha interesting. Currently having an argument with a friend who's just bought a custom x wide about which is better – the custom or the legacy. Pointless argument as neither of us have had a chance to ride yet this year.

Interesting question indeed. The custom is no doubt a badass board, and in my opinion, one of the most consistent and solid boards that Burton makes. That being said, I did replace my custom with the Legacy with R&C tech. I ended up liking the ride on the Legacy better when I rode the boards during the same season. The topsheet on the custom had some issues with flaking and nasty scratching. I think the flex between the two boards is pretty similiar, although the custom seemed to have more chatter on some bomb runs where the legacy didn't. I want to ride the new custom ICS setup and see how I feel about the new setups after more than one day of riding.

How does the Legacy stack up against the Custom?
