My first board was from a play again sports. Its a fleetwood board, i still have it(so fkn heavy). Used to hit all the ramps at my local trick park with it for a few years. Eventually saved up and got myself a brand new GNU board. Was so stoked i strapped it on and full sent it off my favorite jump, got twice as much air as usual and over rotated. Landed face first on an ice patch, lost a tooth and got a concussion. Ahh memories.

You said it right, there isn't the best board company, but damn these companies do a lot of boards which make choosing sooooooooooo hard 🤣

these could be great for snow kiting!

Whats the point of having a soft setup in freestyle? I got a stiff setup with atlas binding and i liked it. Then i got a softer board with stratas cause everybody is saying softer is better in the park. After 2 Years i can say, you loose so much precision and charge ability for a little bit more freedom in movement. I definitely go back to a stiffer board with my loved atlas bindings. Might i have to try the stiffest version to find out the downsides in the park. But the stuff is not cheap.

I’m a goofy rider and I’ve always gone positive front side and 0 backside but as I’ve gotten more advance I find it hard to carve my toe side, what angle do you recommend me using

Where is your jacket and pants from?

if you wrote those boards off as a business expense you're a legend

I have never seen you ride bataleon in your videos. You are one of my favourite snowboarding youtubers so i would love to know your take on the 3bt. Pls make a video on that. Thank you.

I have forum Youngblood hybrid chili dog thing and board floats and pops around like nothing I've ever touched. I miss forum love em. 4square, special blend, jeenyus, ride, snowboarding brands fkn sk man

nice my first time taking my nephew out we started skinning up from the carpark on trail for a few hundred meters before going off piste SKI PATROL kicked us off FELT BAD FOR NEPHEW if was alone would have been on with the ski PATROL in AUSTRALIA given I have done ski school in whistler and mt hutt nz and kicking horse and treble cone SKI PATROL kicked us off and said no uphill on designated area we where to the side cat track skinning is a great winter workout

Great info especially for new riders workig on their carving

Yo. That’s my board. Fuckin love that thing

so they just copied spark… fukk burton!

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see splitboards tested in variable conditions. That's often when I would use mine. Like you, if there is powder to be had at the resort, I'm opting for that and being able to get laps in. If the outrun wasn't able to be skated, keep in mind that you can ski-skate back without skins on.

What is this board focused on? All mountain, powder, or park? Or is it a shifted to two? If so what is this mostly used for?

2:51 that 3 was fkg sick man!

Would you choose a 156 or 159? Since you are only 150lbs I would assume 156 best fits your status. But on the review you seems to be really enjoying the 159. Does that means the board shines better at a longer length?

Ride makes the best snowboards guys

1:27 😨 breh.. hahahn And 1:40 🤤steeeze! My favorite trick and you nailed it.. as good and steezy as Scott Stevens. Hey, how loose (in a good way) is it? I'm a big fan of the Ultrafear Reverse, because it's amazingly loose for spins on flat (Like this: czcams.com/video/GmU1LsTylKs/video.html&ab at 0:59 mark) and (IMO) it can also carve when I want to go fast. But was thinking about getting a SB Resort due to so many good reviews despite now being the biggest fan of positive camber. I can make it work well, but pos camber boards don't spin as good as flat ones like Ultrafear Rev... So I am afraid of being too "hooky" for flat ground spins though. So I am between this one, the good ol' Ultrafear Rev, and the Rome Party Mod (which is also flat and has very good reviews).

How hard it will be for someone never snowboarding before and want to have a premium board like this?

Can’t wait to never ride that overpriced pos

Which binding would you pair with the shadowban?

Shane, what is the best powder board for Japow and Colorado Utah pow. I'm 5’9” 185, size 12 and ride a Yes Standard and Greats as my daily’s. I also own the Aeronaut, Megadeath. Also, whats your Patreon?

That's my uncle that's my uncle

you lost me when you said effective edge shouldn't be a determining factor on what board to buy.. effective edge is one of the most important aspects of a board and how it rides

Hey would a 155 be okay with a 9.5 boot? Or should I go to 157? I’m planning on running a -6, 15 or -3, 18.

which board size you choose? Do you think the 153cm (24.7 waist) would fit someone with US 7.5mens, 140lbs, 5.8 tall?

neither the original is still what i use VOILE!!!!

Are classic lace up boots (not speed laces) fine?

I weigh 180-185, intermediate size 12. What size Mega Death would you recommend? Could it work well in Japow? Thanks!

I grew up riding Tahoe, mostly Squaw, got a job there straight out of high school working P-lot so I had maximum ride time. And, I can say without a doubt, in the 90s anyways, Burton was the best hands down. You got on Burton and off whatever else you were on, and the Burton, in one run had you literally 10x the rider you were a run prior on something else. No exaggeration there. I rode my last seasons on a Custom before I moved to Hawaii and basically stopped snowboarding…I also blew out my ACL snowboarding, which is why I sorta moved on to warmer places. Long story short, I decided to go on a snowboard trip for the first time in decades and am playing catch up on gear and tech advancement. A buddy I surf with here is a pioneer of snowboarding who was Sims’ VP in the 80s, responsible for writing Craig Kelly’s first contract. His grandson is a sponsored grom in Alaska and tells me the tech has caught up and Burton isn’t really the leader anymore. For an old school guy like me, it was hard to believe, but he convinced me to buy an Orca, even though the LibTech I had growing up was a complete dud and held back my progress. I’m hoping the tech has indeed caught up and all the boards are similar with regard to their performance levels. My OG 90s custom, last time I rode it was still awesome. I’m hoping the Orca gives me a new perspective, but doesn’t hold me back any. I want to bring one more board, and I’ve been looking at that Aeronaut thinking maybe it’s the best of both worlds, and has that Custom feel I was always accustomed to, but adds in some of the tech I have yet to experience myself. But it’s hard teaching an old dog new tricks, and so I’m torn between buying the Aeronaut and a new Custom X. It’s just so hard for me to believe that Burton isn’t the best anymore.

I grew up riding Burton Customs in Tahoe in the late 90s, been surfing the last 25 years in Hawaii, but planning some snowboarding trips trying to catch up with all the tech. Last time I rode my late OG 90s custom it went rad and I still beat everyone down the mountain. All I know is cambers I suppose. I see Capita makes this board in a 156W and my 90s Custom is a 156. I’m 5’11 165lbs, size 10 vans boots. You think since this board is, “narrower than normal”, going a 156 wide over the 157 is the way to go? I looked at the specs the side cut radius are the exact same. The nose and tail are like 6 to 8mm wider, and the waist width is 7mm wider. Is the Aeronaut 7mm narrow than a, “normal”, board? I don’t know anything about specs. I just charged the Custom all my life as my board of choice growing up. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ Also, is Burton dead? When I was a kid it was heads and shoulders over everything else. I got an Orca based on a recommendation, but would like to have a new two board quiver for my trip. I’m an old school “jacket flapper”, resort rider who likes pow and side kicks. Thanks for your thoughts.🙏🤙✌️

Any opinions on Salomon? Looking to get Salomon Sight as my first board. Thanks

Steeeezee!

Setback camber are used in volume shifted boards usally?

음주운전 걸릴꺼 같으면 무조건 차도 버리고 뒤도 돌아보지 말도 튀어야죠~ 정직하면 정직할수록 손해보는 곳이죠. 알면서도 법을 안 고치는 사람들이 더 나쁜건지, 그걸 악용하는 사람들이 더 나쁜건지 어려운 문제네요 ㅎㅎ

Such an underrated rider…

Thanks again for a great season of reviews/ presentations. How would you compare Capita megadeath with Jones stratos? I don’t do park, but mostly powder/trees/groomer. If you can compare the dampness on uneven terrain / float in powder/ carving experiences for both boards. I always hear that capita is geared towards park thus the hesitation and leaning towards Jones Stratos. I would appreciate your recommendation. Thank you.

Great video! Was looking forward buying one of these. Would you recommend 158 or 160? Im 220lb with 11 size boots. Thinking if 160 is too long.

Bro could you help me pleasee, I want to buy this board, Iam a normal rider ( not noobie, not professional, I ride in fields) Wich version do you recommend me? The camber one or the flying V? Please and also Iam looking to use ir with genesis step on bindings and burton sweath boots what do you think about that kit? Thanks

Hello. Thanks for all the knowledge sharing and presentations. How would you compare capita mega death and jones Stratos? I don’t do park. I used to ride 2020 Stratos, but sold it recently. Thus I am contemplating between the above 2 boards. thank you.

Trying to plan a trip with about 10 guys and would love any advice for the planning process??

U still rocking this bad boy?

you're gonna have to do an update to this video. Never Summer has a Triple Camber profile. Best profile out there.

Will this pair well with the Capita DOA? Or would you go strata?

I got a Love for sale 158….. I live in SW FL my shredding days are over sooooooo just saying.

Between mega mercury and mega death, which you would choose and why ?

I guess I missed this because I've been living in Miami for too long. My first board was a Forum. I miss snow so much. Beaches suck.

I want to tackle jibbing and freestyle riding. just bought a Signal Omni Arata. Got a recommendation?
