Justin Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 Just placed my order for a Burton Dominant in 146...really looking forward to riding this board. Merry Christmas to me My old Gnu was on its way out, and I decided why not now. The Dominant looks REAL nice.....and I know there are some people on here that have one...how do they ride? Is their lots of pop? How does it feel? How does it do on rails, jumps, etc.? All I ride is park pretty much, thats why I got it. Quote
skifreak Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 Sweet, it rocks to get new gear. I hope you like it. Post some pics when you get it! Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 i like mine. nice amount of pop, but i don't have too much rail experience with it. i'm still using my old board for the majority of that sort of riding. Quote

nick malozzi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 yes you def can't argue with the faux leather topsheet. when i am on that board this hippie actually feels comfy saying words like "steeze" and "fly". i def feel a bit more urban on that thing. Quote
stevePSSC Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 this is gonna be a topic of us just just goin off about how sick the dominant is haha Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 this is gonna be a topic of us just just goin off about how sick the dominant is haha i dont see a problem with that. there are many other equally worthless threads out there. Quote
stevePSSC Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 i dont see a problem with that. there are many other equally worthless threads out there. haha good call.. most are started by Doug Quote
LineSki Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 my friend broke his dominant last year, got a brand new one on warranty, and by mistake the loft called him up again in october and said we have your board on warranty. so he went up and they gave him ANOTHER brand new dominant. Quote

adrian Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 fa sho, im wacktose intolerant. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 Why in God's name did you get a 46? Unless you weigh somewhere between 100-120 lbs, that is. Quote
librider Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 I should be picking up my new Jeenyus on about a week or two. I love new boards. And i Like you had a mervin board before this and it is also on its way out. Quote
Justin Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Posted December 16, 2005 Why in God's name did you get a 46? Unless you weigh somewhere between 100-120 lbs, that is. I weigh 120, and I'm about 5'6"......my gnu was a 147. Quote
stevePSSC Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 haha i hear ya on that.. im 5'6 and weigh like 125ish something like that.. the 146 dominant will be perfect for ya.. once ya get it on the snow tell me what ya think- Quote
Justin Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Posted December 16, 2005 How are the edges are it? Do they come with a 90 degree bevel all around? I was thinking about de-tuning the nose and tail outside edges (just the part that sticks out), and putting an 88 degree bevel on the rest of the edges, like I've done with pretty much every board I've had..... Quote
stevePSSC Posted December 16, 2005 Report Posted December 16, 2005 im not sure ive never once de-tuned my board or even waxed it myself.. so yeah i could go look but im to lazy to go out in the garage and look at the edges haa Quote
adrian Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 ive put my last three days on my 43 burton white (the original one). its so much fun compared to my x. i really want to try a dom, and the 46 sounds really good right now... Quote
Stevo Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 How are the edges are it? Do they come with a 90 degree bevel all around? I was thinking about de-tuning the nose and tail outside edges (just the part that sticks out), and putting an 88 degree bevel on the rest of the edges, like I've done with pretty much every board I've had..... I just completely de-tune around my nose and tail. you hold your board on a wall, and mark where the edge makes contact on both sides, tip and tail. then you detune around the nose, from point to point, same thing for the tail. The edges around the nose and tail, aren't there for anything but structural integrity. That's how I do it, but there may be a better way. Ask one of the tuning gurus, or flip around tognar's site.

adrian Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 when the board comes or if you check another dom, look inside the "suggested stance" triangle. it should tell you the degrees of the factory base and side bevels and the detuning. i just sent my x back to burton and they tuned it up 1 on the base and 1 on the side. the dom is likely a more mellow set up, possibly already with the bevel you want (im not sure if you want 2 side, 0 base; 0 base, 2 side; or 1 and 1. 0 side, 2 base seems to be a possibility). if the bevel is wrong, the side or the base might be right and could save you some tuning time. burtons come detuned around the tip kicks and past the contact points a certain amount. youll be fine without your own detuning unless you need even more dulling or if you are dulling between the contact points.

Stevo Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 On my board, i did something like, 2 degrees base bevel, 0 degrees side edge. Skitzo, what happened with your board? I remember you had to send it to burton for replacement or something? You were worried about impact damage- Turns out that my board was impact damage (which i pretty much knew), and revolution was cool enough to just fix it and send it back my way (great customer service). Just waiting for it now. Quote
adrian Posted December 17, 2005 Report Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) i was quite foolish and eager to send and sent it back because i thought the edge cracked and i would very, very likely get a new 06 x. the edge was actually fine, but they said, since i took the time to send it, they tuned it up with the illest tune machine on the earth, moto man (yes, the fully automated, robotic, complete tune machine has a name). im actually quite happy because i get to keep the nice smooth board (and sticker job!) i love in virtually brand new condition and i get to ride a truly factory fresh waxing (boards are pressed long before they hit the snow and are already dried out). im actually very happy i got to keep my old board, but this doesnt mean im not accepting donations of a 2006 x though, haha.
