Our gear experts say:

"This year's Dom is a super cool board they've had on the line for quite a few years now. Definitely going to be a really, really affordable, kill it all, freestyle board. It's got the channel system this year so you can rock the EST bindings with it. It's going to give you a really smooth board flex, no dead spots underneath or traditional binding. It has got massive stance options, you can really bang out your stance on this one. Then from there, increase cushioning on landing, better board on metal feel. It's all over the place craziness, I'll tell you.
From there, we've got P-Rocker, another new thing on the board this year. It's going to be flat though the binding and then have just ever so slight rocker in the nose and the tail. What that does is it keeps the contact points off the ground. So if you're coming around a little short on the landing, you'll be able to scooch it around to roll away. Also pressing, it's already going to be predispositioned to press a little bit easier that way too. Definitely a really, really cool rocker that you can find on the Dominant, and a couple other ones.
From there, we've got an extruded base, very easy to take care of. Doesn't require as much waxing. Easy to repair if you got a rock or a kink from the handrail to gouge it out. Other than that, 10:45 side wall, it's pretty much straight up, right off the edge, and then goes into a slant wall on top. Slant wall saves weight, where as the meat over it is definitely going to make it a little bit more durable, make it hold an edge better on icy hard pack terrain.
From there, board will have the Infinite ride process built into it. They're going to over build the board, then stick it in a machine that simulates about three to four years of usage. This ensures that the flex is the same as it did when you get it out of the box as it does three years down the road. So definitely even increasing the durability of the board.
Finally you've got pro tip, meaty side wall through the center. Nice slender nose and tail, reduces the swing weight. Makes the board torsionally more forgiving."

 

Burton Says:

"Prey at the top of the park food chain. The Dominant™, with Burton's NEW P-Rocker™, is all about stacking new tricks. Zero Camber between your feet focuses control and creates a “loose-trucks” feel. Subtle rockers lift the tip and tail, giving you the power to press with He-Man strength while reducing your risk of rag-dolling. The street-tuned Rail Ready™ edges seal the deal in your quest to stomp moves that haven’t even been named yet."
