I’d keep you updated on the CustomX, but he bust the side wall open on a table so badly that its beyond repair!!! Couldn’t believe it. the side-wall had just burst. Looked like the whole board was made of wax and he’d smacked it round a pole (if u see what I mean). Cheers.

The unions do take some getting used to, I completely agree. My first few days were love hate as well, but when I finally got them dialed in, I rather enjoy them now. The Custom X is going to be a slightly stiffer board, so yeah, I'd expect it to handle speed a bit better than the Legacy for sure. In more aggressive riding this season, I've also noticed a bit of chatter on a few of my NS boards, but nothing horrible. Ironically with the ICS system, I had the same issues. I couldn't get the binding to stay put, no matter what I tried. I want to try it out again this season to see if it was something I did, or if the system is still just quirky! Keep me updated as to his ICS system and if it settles down. A few of my friends here, just switched to new NS Rocker & Camber boards this season, and I've heard somewhat of the same description of getting used to the board. I'm glad you're diggin the Legacy, it's definitely a fun board! Btw I'm Jealous.. Switzerland!!!!!! That sounds like fun! Rob,

Conditions were pretty mixed. I was initially disappointed by the Union's. Though the straps looked nice and cushiony, I found they created uneven pressure points up and down my foot and I had to really clamp them down to eliminate heel lift. However, after a few days riding and a little bit of adjustment they preformed much much better and I really started to enjoy them. The board was fantastic. I had originally complained about the shabby graphics. seeing it out there, however, the vividness of the colours really set it apart from pretty much every other board on the rack, really looked first class. On the first few runs the first thing I noticed was how easy it was to initiate turns, the board is super responsive. If anything I found that when you go to make a sharp heel turn the board bites so much it feels like its going to send you back up the mountain. Great once you've got used to it, but a little disconcerting at first. The board felt pretty stable at high speeds, however, I did get a bit of chatter. I had the opportunity to ride and compare it to the CustomX which my friend was riding, and I got to say the Burton felt better at speed! On a side note, my mate had nothing but trouble with the new burton ICS system. For one, its bloody difficult to get the bindings to stay still when your fitting them, and two, its equally as difficult to get them to stay still when you're riding the thing!! Don't know if we were doing something wrong, but the bindings kept changing angles! Just got back from Switzerland and have been trying out the Never Summer Legacy and Union SLs.
