What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Custom Flying V
The catch-free Custom. Used Flying Vs are common and often priced like a camber Custom — they are not the same ride. Confirm the listing is Flying V, not Custom or Custom X Flying V, and inspect the base for edge blowouts.
Burton Custom X
Burton’s stiffest Custom. Used X decks show up less often than regular Customs, so a clean base can command more — but do not pay Custom X money for a Custom X Flying V. Check for chatter cracks and blown edges from hard charging.
