I´m in love with the Ravine!!! That set back camber makes a unic ride.

Got the Ravine and the Katana bindings last year for riding in BC at Whitewater. Did 60+ days on it, and the thing rips. I can't imagine a better board to hit the pow, pistes, and park in the same day. Usually I look to get a new board every two seasons or something, but I don't think I'll ever ditch this thing!

Note on the Deep thinker: if you get a wide model it floats like a true powder board while still having the versatility of a normal width, personally my go to for every condition

@@oliverinfante554 you got some heat bro real talk. I got a Stale Crewzer with Rome 390 boss bindings. I’m a intermediate but I’m planning to rank up this season. If you ever come to Mt.Hood let me know 🤙🏾

awesome just picked up the 2023 cruiser on sale not more than 10min ago based on what I saw in yours and Bo's Japan videos from last season

Aiming to buy the Bataleon Cruiser Snowboard as my Christmas gift to me this year. Everyone enjoy your snowboarding journey! Be well and stay safe!!

This is one useful snowboard since the season is here!

went with the deep thinker for the step on bindings. great set of boards here though

Can tell you've put in the work... Your riding is looking sooo good ... grabs, pokes and pop

Do you have a full review video of the archetype?

I’ll vouch for the Archetype. Absolutely LOVE it. 👌💎💖

Would love to see you review the Ride Berzerker

tried the archetype last season! cool board

Hey TJ, would you have preferred the 158 in the Ravine or thought 155 was just right

Hey TJ, any chance of a Ride Peace Seeker review?

lol, if you get a megadeath be sure you have a board lock

You are the best Snowboard KZreadr low key! (I like you Gimble God and Casey Willax) I fool with you the hardest tho because you are chill, humble and shred super hard with style and swag! Your kits are always dripped out as well! Much love from DC man! PS. You got me wanting to blow another bag on that CAPiTA Mega Death! 😂 🤙🏽

For Mega, what size would you go for a 10.5 foot/med bindings. 5’10 175….TY!! Thinking of getting the 57 wide…

Wassup TJ! You ever gonna review the new Forum boards?

Got the Solomon dancehaul and libtech hot knife with the now pro bindings

My favorite freeride board has to be the lib tech skunk ape... it was my first board, but did everything (except rails) well. Loved the wide and boaty feel it had...although its changed over the years and you cant get the columbian gold wood core. Felt damp and very lively. Surprisingly, i use my superdoa everywhere, even in soft snow i havent had an issue, floats just fine if you set it back and carry speed. So its my go to now. Have wanted to try that endeavor, bataleon, k2 alchemist, rome stale crewzer and im sure the megadeath is insane. Enjoy the season tj ❄️☃️

I have the Alchemist 160 and 163 and the LibTech Skunk Ape and a few others. Give he Alchemist some time to master, it's a real machine.

What bindings for the archetype.

What happened to the Jones Stratos? Not on the list but mentioned on the Best All Mountain video.

Hi. Will ION step on boots with X step on bindings (Burton 23/24) work well with this board? These bindings are quite stiff. And one more question - is this board is also good for aggressive "dance" on bumpy crud?

Which board will you ride on in Niseko? Field Earth Design? Ogasaka? Island snowboard?

You gotta more endeavor! Start with the BOD and the pioneer. Would love to see what you think of bod and the pioneer. I love my scout

How does the Bataleon Cruiser compare with the Bataleon Thunder?

NBD Mega Death jib

Looking at the mega death. 5’4, 145lbs, size 8 boots. Is the 156 too wide?

what about the skeleton key compared to the deep thinker?

Just bagged a Mega Death 👌

I'm an intermediate rider transitioning to powder. I currently own a full camber board that isn't great in powder conditions. I'm choosing between the Endeavor Archetype and the Capita Navigator. Which board is better suited for riding resort powder? I'm specifically looking for a board capable of handling morning powder rides and also performing ok within the resort in the afternoon. While I'm not an advanced rider, which board is more beginner friendly for powder? Thank you!

Shout out to TJ, I got the Mega Death thanks to you, and, oh boy this board is insane !!!

I’m 5’9” 160 boots size 9. What you think the megadeath 159 too long? Or should I get 156? Thank you so much.

whens the snowproof hoodie comin out? wana get it so bad dude!

Beast of a board

I've got the 154 Deep Thinker and the 156 Mega Death boards. I've noticed that the Mega Death takes a bit more energy to ride from the top to the bottom of the mountain. Have you experienced the same thing, or is it just my skill level?

How would you compare the mega death to the mega merc? Also you didnt tell a lot about mega death performance in powder, how was it?

If u had to choose between the bataleon camel two and the thunderstorm what would u pick???

@johndruzhinin

7 ай бұрын

It really depends of what you are trying to achieve. Thunder is a backcountry freestyle snowboard. Cruiser is better if want to carve. Camel two is better in tight forest freeride.

among all of these boards, i'll pick the mega death, the others are blaah... i see many many other better choices for pow backcountry quivers

Megadeath is tjs pick this year? High praise indeed cant wait to get mine out on some decent snow!

Flexible = Dancehaul is your pick!! If you’re leaning bit more into charging/carving/full throttle DON’T size down on it!! Smooth riding board! It’s not the fastest one, but satisfieng speed when u think bout the pricepoint! Overall rly fun board especially from your pov flexier/relaxt ride u can still easy razor on edge!😊

Where Mind expander?

Dam I miss my red deep thinker smh

where’s lib tech Orca?

NO PYL UNINC DCP?😉

I’m surprised that K2 and Jones didn’t land one in your top 5. But then again your list seems be all mountain freeride not just freeride.

No flagship 😨

on main photo rider's head is under his butt. facepalm

Off topic but on a Burton channel board for camber disk bindings do you use EST screws or the camber disk screw? Have been using est vitas but got a couple new boards and some union bindings I want to try on the custom.

@cb1p111

Always the shorter EST SCREWS. NOT THE LONG "NORMAL" ONES. OTHERWISE YOU'LL FIND THEM MAKING DENTS IN THE BASE OF THE BOARD BEFORE THE BINDING IS TIGHT.
