I grew up riding, had several customs in the 90s, never wanted to get off them. I hadn’t rode in 9 years and jumped on my old custom from 98 a few years back, and it was still awesome. Hauled ass, didn’t fall once. No issues controlling it. My childhood buddy who I grew up riding it, and one of the only guys I rode with who could keep up, says he loves the Flying V, no going back. Not sure he ever had a regular custom, but he must’ve. Why would he say the X Flying V is better than the regular X? We’re in our 40s, and going to go ski Japan in February and it will be our first time riding again together in a quarter century. I surf a lot a lot and am in top shape. My thought is that the V is probably easier on the body?? Maybe slightly easier in POW? Is there any other advantage? I like going fast. For an older guy will it reduce some shock and zap me less overall throughout the day letting me ride longer? I’d love thoughts. Thanks guys.
Is there any snowboard available just like this but true twin? The all-mountain directional is fine but just curious if there were other options to "check off all my boxes"
I think you could still "check off all the boxes" by just mounting your bindings at equal distance from the tips. You might even get a better snap by doing this. I'm not seeing any Custom twins in stock here.
I'm an advanced rider and have owned a couple of custom x's. Youll be fine with this board. Switch rides great. Jumps amazing. If you are buying a custom x as a jib board, that's a mistake imho.
@@malcolmh5736 If you are an experienced hardcore rider, why not get the full camber custom X? It's one of the very best carving boards you can get. Amazing. I've not ridden the flying V so I'm not sure quite what thats like but the custom X is such a stiff board i don't really see the point in going with a more forgiving camber profile.

@@antihero3zx Is it good for strong carving?
