I had a rocker phase lol, just when the first skate bananas came out. But going big in jumps was a nightmare for me. Too much lack of control approaching the kicker. Although it was amazing for powder. I came back to the camber because I tried flat and I didn't like it, except, again, for pow. But Never Summer's profiles are a whole new level. I fkg love them. I guess it's not only their profiles but also their construction. Those boards work amazing at every terrain. At first they can look weird, even ugly (although to me they are candy lol), but once you try them... Well, at least for my riding. But yeah, rocker and flat for pow is just perfect.

Thats the best part, one isn't better than the other just depends on your riding style 👍 I actually have a video coming in a few months about how to ride rocker dominant boards properly too. Just need to ge some snow so I can get out riding and shoot some riding b-roll for it! Stay tuned!

Getting a new board next season, enjoyed the vid boss 👍

If you want an easier, catch free, floatier feel go with the Flying V. If you want a more aggressive, snappier feel go with the camber. One isn’t better than the other it’s really just personal preference.

Thanks for the content! Big fan of you. May I ask you what is the exact meaning of "catch free"? I have been listening that many times, but I am struggling to figure out what is the proper meaning. Thank in advance.

Basically meaning it’s harder to catch an edge in the snow while you are riding. 👍

I just bought a lib tech scratcher rocker board. I'm getting scared if I bought a wrong board if this doesn't have good edging and carving?

The Box Scratcher is definitely more of a park board but you’ll be pleasantly surprised how well it carves and handles outside the park

Nice video, I am currently in decisions for the burton process flying- v or camber. My ride is slowly transitions into intermediate, the process camber has an early rise does this make it more catch free? My ride is not agrressive so I cant decide if I should pick the camber or flying v

@PeterGlennSports

9 ай бұрын

Yes, having the flat in the cambered version does make it catch free so that is something both bends will have in common. The biggest difference between the 2 is the aggressiveness of the ride. The cambered version will be a little more aggressive especially in and out of turns and the Flying V will be a little smoother. It sounds like you might benefit from the from the Flying V right for your riding style -> www.peterglenn.com/search/apachesolr_search/burton%20process

I just bought a board with Flatrock profile and I was wondering if these types of boards have any serious limitations as opposed to the more common camber profile boards

Just like Matt said in the video. Each bend has its own benefits. One is not better than the other it just depends on the riders personal preferences.

I've been boarding several times but I'm definitely not a pro, my riding style is simply cruising and cutting turns. I dont do jumps or tricks or anything. What would be the best board for my style of riding?

@PeterGlennSports

Sounds like something a little more on the freeride side of things would be beneficial. AS to the specific bend it really just depends on what sounds best to you.

Hey, not sure if anyone will see this- I'm looking to get a new board but I've only ever ridden 1 board so I don't know which style I will like 🤷‍♀️😰 I also don't know any details of the board except it's M8trix Swirl or something. I can't find anything online at all about the brand/company. My board is 5 years old so when I look at it it just looks flat and it's very stiff... so I don't know if it was made that way or if it's the age. I think their boards are pretty affordable-priced, so no idea if they're made for beginners? I'd say I'm intermediate or beginner-intermediate ? I've snowboarded for 5 years but haven't gone as much after the 1st year. I also tore my ACL last year so I'm a bit nervous 😅 I tore my ACL trying to ski though, not from snowboarding, but it still scares me 😅 I guess what I'm trying to say is I dont't know my skill level because I thought I was intermediate but the whole ACL surgery thing is making me hesitant and scared so I feel like I got kicked back several years 😰 also, I hate speed 😅 I like to go slow but it seems my board has been getting slower and slower, to the point where it barely moves on green slopes if I'm doing my turns 😰 I also had this issue where it feels like the edge is cutting into the snow at slow speeds. Dunno if that's a skill issue or if my board is just old ... Anyone have any advice on what profile might be best for me ? The major thing is I've only ever ridden 1 board so I have no way to compare 😭

I just looked up the company M8trix snowboards and it seems like they are/were some sort of off-brand making inexpensive boards where performance is definitely not a focus in the designs. That being said it seems like you could really benefit from a softer, beginner/intermediate style board with some rocker in the tips to give you some confidence having a catch-free feel. One thing that could help a lot too is to check out our "SHREDUCATION" playlist. It has lots of helpful video to help you understand all the basics about snowboard gear to help educate you to be able to make the best purchase for you and your riding style. -> kzread.info/head/PL8JMe421lgwHMdNlp7e_m_Nrr1AXqZtBv&si=hIANTKeirHIggNwd

I would go with the Orca. The shape can be a bit deceiving, it actually is a very well rounded, all mountain ride. The Kazu is more for advanced riders looking to get into some high speed, freestyle in the backcountry style riding.

Bataleons are just categorized as standard cambered boards. The 3BT is just a 3D tip making it feel a little more catch free like the Jones boards, the cambered Arbor boards, and any other board with 3D shaping. 👍

I'm an intermediate rider, and I've basically only ridden camber boards in my life (other shapes just weren't a thing). You kept saying "catch-free feeling" as if catching an edge is a constant issue; is there any benefit to rocker profiles once you've learned how to run flat-based properly? I just never see any other advantages mentioned for them (except the pow float you mentioned at the end).

@PeterGlennSports

7 ай бұрын

That’s the one thing about traditional camber is you can’t ride flat based. With the contact points being forced down into the snow the board always wants to be on edge. You may think you’re riding flat, but you are on your toes or heels a little bit. Having the contact points slightly lifted (whether it’s with some form of rocker or 3D shaping) gets them up away from the snow and you can truly ride flat. It makes the board noticeably faster on those long flatter runs, easier feel when switching stance or buttering, and of course aids in float.

I’m a new boarder. As in- never made it halfway down the bunny trail - if I could get standing. But I’ve started regaining strength from the surgeries and injuries of my 54 years, so I’m praying things will be different this time. I would like a board that will help me to learn fast and give me room to progress. I have studied videos, reviews and spec sheets and have found a few that I’m interested in but am not sure they are right for me. I like a true twin with zero setback. 1- GNU GWO. 2- Rossi Meraki. 3- Nidecker Elle. 4 - NS proto. 5- Arbor Cadence, Forum, and Ethos. Could you please advise? If not these then which would you recommend ? I won’t be going through trees (on purpose) any time soon. No tricks or jumps. Just learning and progressing to regular groomer riding. However, I do like speed so that might be in my future riding! I have an opportunity to get the GNU at a great price right now, but I’m not sure how long they will have my size in this sale. I hope to get your honest reply soon. Thank you for this video; it helped to put a few things into perspective.

Honestly one of the best boards to learn AND progress on would be the Arbor Mantra. Most of those other boards are going to be a little too high end for a beginner/intermediate rider. The Mantra is taken from the Ethos but it has a little extra sturdiness and better base so it won't be something you would outgrow the performance of too quickly like with the Ethos or Elle. Here is a link to check out the Mantra (also note that if the pic on our site is a black snowboard we are getting it fixed, the MAntra is the same graphic but mostly white in stead of black) -> www.peterglenn.com/product/arbor-mantra-rocker-snowboard-womens

@@PeterGlennSports thank you. I have looked at the Mantra and the Forum. And I am not knocking your advice- I seriously appreciate it. I do have a couple of questions though if you don’t mind. The Mantra is a directional twin. I’m pretty set on having a true twin. I will also be learning with my whole family who rides twin. And we are pretty ambidextrous. So what is the major reason you would recommend directional twin vs twin? The Mantra is pretty much just camber. Doesn’t that catch a lot? Many of the reviews and articles claim one of the rocker combos would be easiest to learn on. Which is one of the reasons I’ve been looking at the GNU GWO. It’s RCR and true twin. But my lack of experience has me wanting expert advice so I can get up and going this year. Can you explain why the camber instead of any rocker? Btw, your boot video was just what I needed. New boots that pinch my heels like crazy yet I can lift my heels in them just enough that I worry about blisters and performance! Going to test that out again today. Thank you for your help.

@@MaryTruthSeeker The directional twin shape of the Mantra is purely 1 extra cm in the nose. If you look at the specs, the width of the nose and tail is identical as is the sidecut and even the stance is centered. They basically took a twin tip board and just added 1cm to the tip of the nose. Riding the board on flat snow will be exactly like riding a twin tip board. You just get a little extra help when you get into some deeper snow. Aside from that you would never know.

I agree, hybrid camber rocker is my absolute favorite!! However, many experienced riders tend to knock it and ride just camber. I demoed a cambered Capita board and felt like a newbie rider. When I demoed the Protosynthesis I was ripping the mountain with a ton of confidence. Whats a good tip when riding pure camber profiles? I feel like mechanically there needs to be an adjustment. Or maybe a topic for a future video. @@PeterGlennSports
