Snowboarding - Cash to Splash?

The 1500€ Burton Method has become the world's most expensive mass-market snowboard. It's incredibly light, with an Alumasuperfly core, titanium alloy edges and a Carbon S2 Vaporskin. In a drastic measure to reduce weight, Burton have left out the graphics, finishing the board off with a simple, thin clear coat on top.

So how does it ride? Well, a bit like a stiffer Custom, really. The weight stands out and increases the board's flickability and agility, whilst it rails in turns like a T-6. Is it worth it? Doubtful, unless you're in the oil industry, or have just had a streak of good luck on the dogs.
