Burton Ripcord vs Nitro Cinema

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Burton Ripcord uses a directional shape while the Nitro Cinema is directional twin. The Burton Ripcord has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Nitro Cinema uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Nitro Cinema is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Burton Ripcord targets intermediate riders while the Nitro Cinema is aimed at advanced riders.
