I brought this and rode it for the first time last week. It’s an awesome board, you can really rail a turn on it. The camber and carbon allow you to really slingshot out of a turn. Surprisingly, it is relatively easy to press, it has a nice sweet spot just past the inserts nose and tail. Very poppy too. I’m impressed.

Loved last year's Algorithm. Great board for everything for me. Doesn't sound like they changed much from from last year's model. One day I need to try the Shadowban.

The Algorythm is hands down the best board I've ridden in 32 years!!! From midwest park laps to chest deep powder in the rockies, this thing does it all. I agree 100% you need to be strong and know what your looking for to ride this thing or it will eat you up. Great review, nailed everything about it👍👍👍

Hey man, do you have any experience riding it on icy patches? We get quite a bit of those unfortunately

Just road this board with the Rome clever bindings and felt the joy of a kid riding for the first time again! The pop you get when you load this board was surprising and I even expected it to boost you pretty good. the edge to edge transition was crazy smooth it almost felt like a cheat code if you know how to ride. You definitely need some legs for this board to have fun in my opinion you gotta bring it and it will drain you pretty quickly if your not in riding shape. Avran nails the review (like always imo) if your looking at this board fucking send it you won’t regret it. Keep up the good work I watch almost all the videos I’m a fucking nerd about knowing what’s out there and love your reviews.

ah amazing review again man, learning tons from your videos

So dope with the background music, keep it up!

Thanks for the review Angry. Would love to get my hands on one of these at some point.

I'm def going to try to find someone on the hill with this board, so I can maybe trade a beer for a lap. Looks like a lot of fun.

I've got the 2023/24 version of this board. Easily the best board I have ever had the pleasure of using. It makes snowboarding feel easy and all it wants to do is go fast and launch off side hits. Amazing board no question. Great review as well!

Saw some similar post but I will ask. I am 48yrs old, 5'10" 220lbs sz12 boot. Mid level Intermediate riding east coast blues and blacks, not much switch, riding a Cold Brew the last 2 year after a 10 year hiatus from riding. Want something with some more responsiveness and more stable in turns. Looking at the 161W Jones frontier, 161 Lib Terrain Wrecker, 160W and the Algorithm 160W . Since I am in the upper ranges of the 160W Algorithm thought it might work for me more then the shadowban. Want a step up in performance but not too much.

Any thoughts on Burton Process vs Algorythm?

Would you recommend this for a first camber board for a progressing intermediate rider? I'm looking at boards for the next season and trying to narrow down my choices for an all mountain board. For reference I'm 6'4" 240lbs 12.5boots.

No, go with the Shadowban instead.

I'm a fairly advanced rider, but getting older, so my park rat days are mostly behind me. Spending most of my time in quivering through trees and charging down groomers, while launching off anything that will send me through the air. I am 6'2" (185 lbs) and wear a size 10.5 boot (Vans Pat Moore - best boot in the game). My current daily quiver is the Ride Superpig (size M), and that seems to be the perfect fit. My one complaint with the Superpig, is that it takes a lot to pop off the back tail. For the Algorithm, I can't decide whether to go with a 155W, 157, or 160W. Toe drag is my concern with the 157, and I've never ridden a board that's longer than 156 (as I come from a Big Bear park rat background, but now live near Tahoe and so spend most time riding all mountain terrain). For more context, I've ridden pretty much every park board there is... but not as experienced with AM style boards with my favorites have been the Arbor Iguchi Pro Camber and Ride Superpig. All this being said, what size would you recommend for the Algorithm. If there is something else you would recommend, please do share your thoughts!

Curious about getting an Algorhythm while its on sale as a backup once the Shadowban claps out for something more stiff and aggressive. Looking to go fast down steeps, carve groomers, and hit medium size jumps and side hits, no rails.

It tries to kill me sometimes. It just wants to go fast forward. Not a bad thing, but My riding style has more turned into playing around, rather then just bombing a hill. Both Society and Highlife are pretty stiff to play around with and used to surprise me by slamming my face in the ground.. Haven't got that problem with the Super DOA... But I also improved my skills.. So when looking for more playfull all mountain, directional compared to the highlife.... Would you prefer the Algorytmn or the Mega Merc.

Am I correct that the JMT would butter better and might hold better on ice with the edge tech and the algo will be better at speed, popping and looking freshhh? Which one do you recommend?

Flex. This is a high-end freestyle board for the aggressive rider. It's an all mountain freestyle board so there will be some overlap with an all mountain freeride board. All boards can carve, do jumps, and ride pow. The questions are; which one of these can it do better, your ability level and riding style

What size boot are you, and did you end up getting it?

Hi. I’m trying to understand how hard this board is to ride. I learnt on a 161 ride concept tms 15 yrs ago and I’m 160lbs and 9.5 boots. I had no issues turning the concept tms. But I struggled with a 157 2022 mercury. I couldn’t even ankle steer it off the lift when I first got it. It just wanted to go straight. A tip detune helped a bit. I’m thinking maybe the shadowban is a safer option, but I like how stable the mercury is at speed, but for me it lacks playfulness. Thanks, Chris.

My $.02, not at all hard to ride. I used Angry's sherpa service to narrow my board choices down to 3, then demoed all 3 and the Algo was the clear winner. Very easy to ride, not the least bit grabby, stable, major pop, great on edge, even pretty good float on those 6" days where you may not want to commit to the pow deck. I'm old AF and not super advanced, ymmv but I would rate the Algo as quite accessible for intermediate on up. also I'm 160 and 9.5 boot and I found the Algo in 154 to be perfect for my use.

You can handle the Algo. I'm a middle-age man, 160 lbs, size 11 boot, solid blue run rider who occasionally survives a black run. I ride the 160W. I demo'd this board in spring 2022 and loved it. It replaced my older Salomon Assassin (which is also a great board that I still sometimes ride, though the Algo is more stable). I especially love how stable the Algo is getting off lifts. My Assassin was always twitchy and harder to flat base.

@@AngrySnowboarder Well the good ride is an average rider, he doesnt pretend otherwise, and most of us are average riders. So if he says the Shadowban is more lively and buckey then the algo and you say shadowban actually more damp, then the truth is somewhere in the middle. And fyi You arent too reliable yourself bucko, I found this comment in a curated 2024 capita mega mercury review about you: @Anukulous 5 maanden geleden @JohnnyEase you need to take Angrysnowboarder with a grain of salt. I caught him talking about the new Jones 23-24 Project X, the board got a revamp. He compared that board with the Capita Megadeth ( a board fabricated with zero fiberglass) and at the end, he showed a picture of the Ride deepfake. Since there is no actual b-roll of him testing the product, how can you trust him completely.

Oh do you want to go deeper into this because I can back this up a lot more than any of these dumb statements you're trying to post. Sounds like you just want to argue but you don't have any frame of reference and you're going at random ass shit off face value. Sit down you're about to get a lesson. So lets go into this. I own a Shadowban, I ride it almost daily. The SB has carbon array 3 vs the carbon array 5 which changes how it directs kinetic energy underfoot to the impact plates. While the impact plates will dampen a little if you put more carbon going to it they aren't going to stop it all. The Algorhythm has Carbon Slimewalls vs regular. Adding carbon to urethane is going to make it more lively especially when that carbon ends at the start of the inside inserts. Right there is a tech story that will tell you what you need to know. But lets go deeper on this, dude rides backfoot heavy. That means you're elevating the front to the middle of the board as your weight isn't centered. You can catch that he's riding this way when he says "off the back" as that is a staple characteristic of how he describes boards. He's now elevated half the board causing any chop and chunder to run into it, that's going to impact more and more. That adds to the lively feel. If he would put his weight on the front foot to initiate a turn and guide it through the start to middle of the carve then shift his weight back as he creates a power triangle with his rear knee pushing it into the camber that would apex the carve and slingshot him out using the power of the board to gain more momentum. He doesn't do this as he's backfoot rudder steering. Now lets go into your buddy that's shopping on Curated. 1. he's shopping on curated a site that will hire anything with a pulse and an ability to push their products to people that are dumber then the above comments. 2. If we're talking comparable boards the Project X and the Mega Death are comparable in ride, not in manufacturing process. They're both ultralight weight boards, designed to be ridden in set conditions, and marketed to the same crowd. They're both boards for someone with expendable income, that want a precision based ride with a high end finish. Albeit the Capita has the better base finish and the Project X is a tad more durable. Now if we go to the Jones Project X review it has the Mega Death, Korua Pencil Plus, and Nitro Highlander as comparable boards. Now if we go to the Mega Death review there's the Amplid Pentaquark, Nidecker Megalight, and the Nitro Pantera. All of those have the right photos of the boards with it, now I'm not saying that something might have gotten past the editor and the proof viewing stage, but sounds like this dude is talking out his ass. So are you taking some idiots comment at face value or did you do your research to see what he's talking about as true? I'm going to bet you didn't. Or dumbass is lost in the sauce and didn't realize we were doing a Top 5 list and made a small comparison. Maybe he was watching a live stream and we were talking about decks in a similar category and giving a broad reference to multiple decks. Did you think that? I'm not saying we're perfect over here, but you don't make it to the top of the food chain and survive 20 years at doing this in a changing landscape by reading tech specs and saying everything is the best. That's what the idiots in second place do.
