Please Help With My Board!!

Hello TruSnow community, I am a new snowboarder who has been looking for a new snowboard. I purchased a board off of impulse it was off of craigslist. I would like to know more about this board anyone can chime in please do. This is what I believe it is, A Burton Cross Promotion Mtn. Dew Board. Please Any input will help!!

Could be Burton/Mt Dew board but it is hard to say.  What I can tell you is that it looks like it is sandwich consturction (which is good) and that usually mean wood core not foam (also good).  Other than that I can't tell you much else.  

I would assume it's some kind of Burton board considering it's from a Burton event.  It has a serial code so maybe you can ask them.

Dude, bargain.

I don't if people go crazy of dew boards but you may be able to make some money off that on ebay marketing it as a limited edition promo board. 

yeah its weird that it is a burton board and its not a EST binding system or their older diamond pattern. i had a promo board from coors/neversummer that i ended up selling for 150 . but that might be a good starter board. make sure to detune the contact points! it will make it a lot easier on you.

I was thinking the same thing. How can it be a Burton board with the 4x4? I'm a little skeptical now as to whether or not that's even a Burton board.

Yeah I saw the post after i posted mine. But obviously, the board is pre-ICS if it even is a Burton, but wouldn't Burton (or K2) have put their stamp on it even if it's a promo board? I just find it weird that all it says is Mtn Dew.

Looks quite old judging by the 4x4 hole pattern being so spaced out. I'd definitely give Burton a call and ask them if they can look up that serial number. 

They did a Mountain Dew collab that was an Operator a few years back, I believe.

I was searching google for a while trying to find this board... the only positive hits I found were...

by the same logic, they didn't make the sierra boards either.  except... they did.

just ride the damn thing who cares who made it?  you probably aren't going to sell it for any more than you paid for it so... go use it!

Does it say where it's made? That might give some indication of who made it. ie. Austria = GST or Elan, Taiwan = Playmaker, etc

Lol it is funny they said that. But the reason why i wanted to l what kind of
Board it is, is because i dont want it to be a safety hazard. And it is made in the usa if that helps?

Well, as I said earlier, from the pictures it looks solid and legit.  Give it some flex tests at home.  Rest one end on the floor, lift the other end with your hand, and take your other hand and push the middle down... if it doesn't snap, you should be fine.  But again, sharpen edges to remove rust and give it a decent wax job.

And also thanks koyota93. Good info
