This definately does not make me want to ride a Nug.

Man I’d like to know what all the regular-camber lovers think of this Nug. They’re always hating on the rockered boards for how easy they are to press and say how much it’s “cheating”. I do own a rockered board, but a 142? Come on. There is no way a 142 can charge. Let alone on a slushy, bumpy, warm spring day.

Just another Burton gimmick. I thought Rossi already did this with the Mini? And look how well that worked out.

C2BTX FOR LIFE!

Got one, 142 cm replaced 156 custom. Really fun, 2nd board. I teach and this thing works well for expanding skills. I usually bring my X 156 along for the big mountain, but the nug is just fun to jam when cruising. Many other people demo-ed my board this weekend (instructors) they were pressing it and buttering it too death. They had grins from ear to ear.

@Jay – thanks for posting the link about the side effects. Burton got back to me and explained that it has side effects but they neglected to put it on their site as a feature. The literature for next year’s Nug say it but not this year. In any case, picked up a 146cm and ride it in about 60 inches of powder from last weeks storm. For those who are wondering about the Nug in pow, it rode really well. My other board is the Sherlock and I like them both in pow.

Peace…

Ps. Keep up the good work Shay!

Bugs, I’ll be putting up 2011-2012 nugget info when I do the 11-12 Burton snowboards post. So keep looking for it!

Jay, Thanks so much for your comment.

Hi, Shay-

I’m compelled to comment because of that a-hole MAtt’s remarks, which you responded to with much grace and composure.

MAtt, why are you so angry? The possible validity of any criticism you may be attempting to convey is completely lost and negated by your bitterness and ire. Get over the fact that here is a woman who has worked very diligently to establish herself as a trusted voice in the snowboarding community. She’s not merely acting as an authority; she is widely considered to be one., jerk-face.

Shay, I’ve read many of your reviews, in part, for the fact that often times when I’m searching for info on a particular board, your site pops up. Because you ride a sh!t ton of boards. And anyone who rides even a fraction of the number of decks you do begins to get a sense of what’s legit and what’s crap. Much respect to you for your unwavering devotion to and passion for boarding.

Oh, and the answer to the question of whether or not the Nug has Side Effects (it does) can be found here:

Hey shay, any info on the 10-11 nugget? (I think that’s what the female version of the nug is called?) And heck, any info at all on 11-12 burton boards for the ladies? All the guys’ stuff have been scanned and posted but nada on the ladies, bah.

Hi Shay,

Question for you… I’ve read in the Internet that the Nug has Side Effects, like on the Sherlock. I was at the store and they had some Nugs and nowhere on the features listed on the sticker does it say Side Effects. I checked on Burton’s site and it’s not listed under features. Do you know if this is indeed part of the geometry?

thanks!

hey jpt,

My head was never in my ass, like I said “I prolly have to try it for fun!”

Man, you Burton-heads really get offended when anyone says ANYTHING about Burton. If I would have really said what I think of the entire brand…. then you REALLY would have something to say back. But I won’t, all I will say is that a 150 is a 150, no matter how you shape it – JIB BOARD. There is no way this thing is stable on big booters, and I would bet money that you ride a 156 rocker or longer and it will destroy this board in the pow and ESPECIALLY in the chud.

As for this statement:
“It really cna get through anything. Plowing through chunder definitely takes more effort but still gets through.”

No thanks, jib board. It’s called a nug for a reason, for all the little nugglet park-rats.

Reyazz, I used the malavita bindings which were a good combo with the board.

Francis, sweet I’ll try the squeezebox on the custom for sure!

Jaf, thanks for the update!

Matt, some boards don’t hold an edge and staying on edge is harder when you wash out. As for riding, no one is perfect and I acknowledge my own riding in my reviews. Whether you use them, is your decision.
