Same! I use the nitro phantom bindings

I loved my Todd Richards version with the pumpkin graphic (no midbite) . A couple seasons back I bought the Save the Humans one when Yes updated the shape and added the midbite etc. I really disliked how that one rode so I sold it. I might check this one out if the internals and side cut have changed.

Had preordered this and have been waiting for the review! Glad you liked it and felt it was a great all mountain/freestyle board. Did you find riding a stiffer boot/binding hindered anything? I typically prefer stiffer bindings/boots as I am 6'2 210~lbs so they give me better support.

Genuine question, why not just get a shorter board then?

I was thinking about getting last year's greats, but it looks like some things changed on this year's model.

Thanks, I have the 2020 and I agree with you that YES must have changed the geometries because the 2020 is not as all-mountain as the old models (pre 2018) and it washes out on the heel edge. I noticed the RCR is now 2-4-2 and previous years (of the new design) was 1-4-1 so it seems they have fixed some of the issues.

How would you compare it to the asymulator? They are comparable, but do you have any specific differences on your mind?

@AngrySnowboarder

2 жыл бұрын

Asymulator is softer all the way through. This has a different edge grip due to sidecut. So you notice it more steering underfoot. Then there's the differences in the camber profiles. If you're doing more park I think the Asymulator wins, but if you're riding more all mountain then The Greats takes it.

If you're riding a smaller hill and not dealing with a vast array of elements you'll probably be fine, if you're riding something that has a lot of varying terrain then I'd consider bumping up.

Question about the 2024 Yes Greats. At 210lbs I land in the 156-159 zone. I figure between the two lengths, the largest diff would be stability at speed on the 159. Am I missing anything else? PS: Your reco on the LibTech TRS and Yes Standard UnInk spot on, purchased both.
