Usually, people who don't care about the weight is because they have never tried light gear. Now at my 40's, weight is the first thing I look for, especially when you like splitboarding. But still, for everyday riding, light bindings, boots, and boards, are amazing. Once you ride really light stuff, you don't want regular gear.

From the footage, it looks like you guys had it in pretty soft/excellent conditions. I’m really curious how a super light board does in heavy, chopped up snow at speed. I’ve always enjoyed some weight in skis/boards for the dampness it provides. Hard to believe super light doesn’t equal chattery?.

Just tried the Mega Death on Shops First Try in Alpbach. It is hands down the best snowboard I’ve ever ridden. Super light and agile. Definitely getting one! With the Union Falcor bindings, this thing is probably the lightest setup there is.

Ready to buy

This board sounds extra promising. excited to check it out. that said Hayes brothers snowboards was doing a bit of this stuff back in 2004. not all of it, but definitely playing with a lot of the composites, a base grind and high end poplar wood cores.

sounds amazing. more crash clips, please. 😂

Lucky! they seems to have sold out everywhere very fast!

So it's to the BSOD as the Mega Merc is to the Merc? I noticed riding my Mega Merc last season how fast the board was in spring snow, the pop it had off side hits and the lightness the MM 157 had in the air compared to my Slash ATV 156 I rode the previous day. I've been riding wider boards as of late: Yes 20/20, Sick Stick Hillside and Orca with reg size feet. Debated a W board for the extra surface area float; but decided on the 157 in the end for slightly quicker e2e transfers. Really think a Black Splitboard Of Death needs to happen next. Get more directional split for us mortals that aren't riding switch. Dig the videos. Keep it up!

Would love to have a BSOD shape with just a little easier torsional flex. Hope expanded sizes come out. 169w

Love it! How long until they start trickling the tech down their lineup?

I sometimes forget I'm still on the Board and start walking to my Chalet. Oh and also, If a Skier puts hi gear over my board in the queue, Ille punch him in the face no matter what. Other that that it's fine.

How does the camber profile and flex compare the the standard BSOD? I tried last years 159 BSOD and I found it a bit lack lustre compared to say my Mullair, EJack or a Flight Attendant. Much less pop due to minimal camber and, what I felt, was a softer flex then those boards in the same length (that being said, BSOD more playful at slower speeds). So unless I missed it in the video, the question I have is does making it in the "Mega" construction only make it lighter or is the camber/flex beefed up as well?

Hi Mike and Shane. Thank you for all the amazing videos and contents especially the stance video. I would like to seek for yours advices please. My current ability level is low-level-intermediate to maybe mid-intermediate. I am currently just riding 100% resort groomers, however I am looking to build on: 1) My switch riding (currently able to S turns, but slowly with loads of skidded turns), 2) Start to learn basic ground tricks, 3) Eventually venture into the park for basic features and small jumps, 4) Continue to work on my basic riding fundamentals and not get sloppy with lazy back leg, I am 5'9" (176cm), 185lbs (currently looking to go to 165lbs by December), US 9.0 feet (27MP). I recently got off a Nitro Team 155cm, found it was a little too stiff for my liking as it took a toll on my knee and feet (but probably I'm just lazy unfit fat dude lol that never gyms or stretch before I hit the slopes). But I will get fitter by end of year! :p Currently looking for boards with ALMOST full camber; not looking for 100% catchy-ness but also don't want too much rocker in tip/tail: (i) Capita Pathfinder (cambered) (ii) Capita Indoor Survival (154cm) (iii) Burton Instigator Purepop (iv) Rome Warden (v) Salomon Assassin (vi) Amplid Ticket (or Ticket Twin) Any advice would be much appreciated!

@markfawcett9654

6 ай бұрын

A lot depends on your stance width , and what size deck you have, your riding style, and what type of terrain and snow you ride on. Generally speaking, all the capitas stances are relatively centered comnpared to other all mtn freeride boards on the market, which are shifted back further. I'd 100% be sliding the front binding back to narrow up your stance on this board.

Any idea when the website will be back up?

Dave mustaine approves this snowboard and video

So the Mega Death has a really lite core. Less weight equates to less moment of inertia. A contender, the 23-24 Ride Commissioner, has a metal laminate top-sheet to increase weight, and that helps to increase speed when approaching the fall-line. I wonder which is faster.

@neilgendzwill3260

The purpose of the metal is not to add weight. Metal has been used in alpine boards for ages.

I'm interested in Marc's opinion on the abrupt nose kink, in turn entry.

I was looking into the sizing of this and I am sort of torn between the 159 vs 157w. I am 6' 175lb with 9.5 boots. My preferred boots / bindings are Photons with Genesis Step-Ons because of the balance between responsiveness, weight, and comfort. Do you think I would get too much heel / toe drag on the 159 with deep carves and look at getting the 157w?

We live in the Kootenays so we always have that much snow 😃 - Light board that find the balance with dampness / sidecut / overall shape will be preferred for a lot of riding conditions.... we don't see many in the market due to the material costs , but this board might wake the industry up and we wouldn't be surprised if more are available in the years to come !

I’m waiting until my BSOD is dead before picking one up.

I used to ride only Burton and since I had hook ups, I always had their best ride to try out. I rode their MYSTERY CUSTOM (ultralight weight hybrid CUTSOM) but it ended up breaking on some hard landings. I eventually made it to CAPITA. The Mercury is my ride now and I love it. How would this board compare? I like groomers and mid /large kickers and side hits.
