Literally just ordered it yesterday! Had no idea this vid was going to drop today. Can't wait till it comes in. Replaces my 2018 161W Agenda. Love the content, Avran. Thanks Dude!
lucky mf
Just bought it yesterday, can't wait to use it
I just bought this board.It's awesome!
love your reviews man! will there be a review on the ride algorythm?
In the next comming up ride reviews can you please make one of them the new ride psychocandy.?? Curious to see what you gotta say about it. I love how blunt and straight up you are keep it up.
Just got it on sale! Beautiful board👍🏻
Great reviews Avran, much appreciated. I have this twin 🐷 in a 51 and I must say it slays. This is my first volume shift, I was on a Capita DOA 156 for the last 3 years. I like to crush sidehits, eff around on groomers and drop steep spines and tree lines in pow. This board does it all! I do ride switch a lot so the twin fits. One thing, it did take a few days to break in... Thanks for doing what you do! 🏂💎
how is it carving icy conditions?
@@thereelaccountant9246 I live in the Southern Rockies so we dont really get full on east coast style ice...that being said, the twin pig handles spring time frozen slush banks and firm/manmade snow really well... especially for a freestyle board...the extended heelside edge ( and camber)is great, and if you do a good amount of switch riding this board really shines... long radius or short and quick turns this Ride does it all! I am 5'10 155 lbs on the 151.
@@SkyMethod thanks! I'm 6'2 195 lbs size 12 boot. I'm thinking the 157, what u think?
@@thereelaccountant9246 157 would work for sure...you actually could use the 154 as well...i thought the 151 would feel short and it does not at all...I could actually be on a 148 no problem! If you want extra stability, like to carve longer radius turns,hit big jumps and want a bit more float in pow go 157...if you want quick turning, side hit launching, more of a party board go 154.
Supper looking forward to trying this board to see if its my next purchase. Grate review keep doing what your doing bro stay angry.
6'3 160 pounds, size 11.5 on the 156w with the A-8 bindings. Tried out the C-8 bindings but liked the aluminum a lot better. Can lay it out on heels and toes and the torsional flex is super easy. So far i really like it, I can push the board really hard and it can definitely handle it. Big fan so far!
what boots do you ride and can you euro carve on this board?
Oh can't wait for the this one and the benchwarmer!
Fuckin' love this dude! Straight forward, zero bullshit!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I just picked up this board (156 W) last weekend with Union Strata bindings. I'm taking it out tomorrow, I'm pretty pumped about it.
Literally have the same setup. It’s great. More flex than I’m used to but you can throw it at a lot and it shreds. 6’5” 210
I have the same setup also but the 2021 version of TP. Not good for speed or firm snow (which it wasn’t built for anyway) but other than that it rocks.
How’s the overhang on the 156w? I’m a size 13 and hope it’s plenty wide
@@RareGrassPlug I'm size 13 to and I can tell you its basically nonexistant. It does also depend on the boot you are using as some companies make more reduced footprint than others.
@@RareGrassPlug I wear a size 13 as well and like OneRound79 said it's basically nonexistent. That's one of the reasons why i snagged this board in a 156W.
Hey Angry, I am riding a 156 Ride Kink from early 2000s and it is full camber and stiff and at 47 I am ready for some flex. At 5’8” 190 boot size 11, what size do you recommend? Thanks for any input. Looking to butter, small jumps and rails and general all mountain fun, i was thinking twinpig due to boot size, but would you still recommend one of the others and if so, what size?
Twinpig sucks. If you're looking at a Pig the Warpig is the better option. 51
Own this board i tried left foot to right and so on just for sht and giggles knowing its twin doenst feel great specially on carving , ye i agreed an energetic board
Hey Avran! Will you be reviewing the 2022 superpig also? I’m keen on hearing your thoughts on that one. Stay angry and keep it up legend!
This is the 2022 one.
@@EssenceOfTrance Read my question again ;)
@@OneRound79 Oh sorry!
Nope.
Got one 154 this season and I love it. The true twin on this version is very park friendly and very allmountain style as well. Not to mention that the carving can be very agressive like you said. Amazing board!
How is it carving on icy type snow?
@@thereelaccountant9246 Pretty good, nothing compared to a multi contact points style board I guess, but it works well in all condition. I ride here in Quebec where conditions can be pretty icy all winter so, I deal with conditions like that very often and the board is responding pretty well also in those icy terrain
@@sebasroy nice to hear! Seems that edge is real thin which should help I imagine. I have also been looking at the Jones all mountain twin. Has a little bit of edge tech
@@thereelaccountant9246 I found that it was more than capable on icy hardpack. That's a big test point for me, if a board fails that test, it's a no go for me.
What do you mean "the carving can be very agressive"??? Is it possible to do carving with an advance level?
Any review for the nitro team pro model too?
Hi Avran, I'm looking at the 2023 model but I saw another review that said you have to ride duck feet on this board. Is that true? I normally ride 18 -3 i assumed this would be OK long as I'm centred.
You can ride any stance you want on this. Whoever said that is a frigging moron.
@@AngrySnowboarder haha I thought so ! Thanks for replying!
Just picked this board up on sale.
Love your reviews! I've been an avid snowbarder since I was a kid but then couldn't hit the slopes for 7 years or so.
Now I want to get back into it and have been watching a ton of videos on this channel. Regardless, I'm still pretty lost as to which board + bindings I should get that I won't regret (and in which sizes).
Me: I'm 183cm (6'0"?) and weigh 77kg (170?). I'd like to find a good all-rounder, even though I have to say you'll find me more on/off the slopes than in a park or doing huge jumps. I won't buy a second board anytime soon, so I'm looking for something I won't regret in most conditions.
Considering currently the Twinpig, Warpig, Burton Custom Camber, K2 Manifest/ Manifest Team, but it's really hard for me to understand the intricate difference. Would be happy for any advice!
You want an all mountain freeride board. No Twinpig, Warpig, or Custom. Manifest or Manifest Team will be fine for you.
@@AngrySnowboarder I'm a bit worried that they might be a bit too stiff, especially given the fact that I got Nitro team TLS boots (who lean heavy to the stiffer side but felt really good to me) and like a board to be at least a bit playful in feel. Any other boards to look at, maybe even the BSOD or Mercury? Or would you go for the Manifest regardles?
Regarding sizing, is a 159 too long for 170lbs size and 9.25 boots? That's all I can find currently for the manifest team, regular manifest is sold out alltogether?
Thanks a bunch for your help and awesome reviews!
@@paulschraven2569 If you think the Manifest team is too stiff then everything else you listed is too stiff for you as well.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks you've been a huge help. I'll give it a shot, probably overthinking it. They seem perfect for what I want to do.
Final question, then I'll stop bothering you: 20/21 BSOD (found one) or 20/21 Manifest Team or 21/22 Manifest Team - what's the biggest differentiator?
Thanks again, you've helped me a ton!
Dude, similar situations. I've been riding since 97, had to take a 5 year hiatus. Sold everything. Got back into it and went a lot this past season. Spent my days at Breck and Keystone. Anyway, I went a little over"board", GET IT? hahaha, and bought 6 new setups this season. I am kind of an all or nothing type of guy. LOL Anyway, this TwinPig in a 154 was one of my favorites! You can ride this board like an all mountain board but throw some switch and freestyle into your lines. Because it's a short fatty, it's super stable at high speeds and hold a great edge. I was flying down groomed runs, in and out of trees and moguls and had a blast just using the mountain as my own personal skatepark. Very big thumbs up for me. I paired it with Ride A8 bindings, spectacular! This was my first Ride purchase and was highly impressed.
Hey Avran. You mentioned the Benchwarmer, but haven't posted a full review. Is this a good option for a more all mountain approach to freestyle (rather than straight park features) and buttering about? The product video by Ride seems to suggest it's a stiff ass cambered death machine. That and the fact it's the replacement for the Helix which you absolutely hated. Totally different animal?
Cheers.
Just wait longer for that review.
Do you know anything about the nidecker alpha or any chance you'll get your hands on one to test at some point?
I've already ridden it. VIP members have basked in the glory of the review, the CZcamss will get it soon enough.
I'm currently riding a 156 Arbor westmark and love the way it rides, I ride freestyle and a bit of park.
I'm 186cm and 90 kgs just looking for something a bit more aggressive, you reckon the twinpig 156 w would be a good option?
Could be.
I'm intermediate looking to go for deep euro carves but have big size feet for my height (US 9.5 but only 170cm tall) so I'm stuck with volume shifted boards. I'm debating between this (48 length) or the Yes greats Uninc (49 length) which is not as wide. Any thoughts?
Wise man say if you size a board based on height you’re going to have a bad time.
@@AngrySnowboarder haha yes, I forgot to include the most important number.. my weight.. 59kg/130lbs
You probably don't need an asymmetrical twin if you're looking to carve.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks 🙏 I shall keep on looking at the rest of your snowboard reviews... 1 down and a thousand videos more to go 😆Just also want to say, your reviews are invaluable! Also, it looks like I will have to build a quiver rather than a jack of all trades!
What's the factory wax on ride board like? Can I ride it right out of the box or should I wax it first?
Rip the plastic off it and go shred.
I’ve owned all the pigs except the mntpig. I like superpig the most but they are all great boards.
@KINGDOM MT A valid point. I have kids to but they’re becoming faster and faster so I need my superpig to catch them 😂
@KINGDOM MT best life there is 😎
is this board good for beginners? I mean, is it enough forgiving, catch free and easy to ride for someone who is still progressing? or it's more of an advanced board?
No.
Just picked up a bataleon boss interested in seeing how it rides
Not like this board.
Hello Avran, wanted to ask would you suggest 148 or 151 for 5'7, 155 lbs?
48 for sure.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks very much
What boards do you prefer you mentioned there are two?
I said their names. Zero and Benchwarmer.
Hey I’m 6’3 175 lbs would a 156w or 157 be best. Thanks love the channel
Depends on your boot size.
I’m 5’9 180lb with a size 9 boot. I’m currently running the 151 twin pig would it be worth sizing down?
No.
Im really in doubt between the Ride Twinpig and the Rome Artifact. Looking for a jibbing/park/butter board to start learning! Allready have a Burton Custom Camber for all mountain.
No contest, get the artifact.
I thought about seriously picking up a Pig this year but all the smaller sizes were sold out. Then I considered this year's Psychocandy as it's inspired by the Pigs but is apparently from the women's boards. I ended up going with a Nitro Beast a few days ago as it basically fell into my hands. Love the reviews and thanks for helping me sift through all these brands and technologies to find the board that's right for me. Really. I appreciate it.
OH YA, LIKE THE VIDEO!
let's keep avran more relevant than the douchetuber vloggers. God I hate those channels lol
The moderator approves this message.
A beast is wayyy different 😂 hope you like it, very good for jumps, the sidecut is the most difficult to handle on slow speeds for any board I've been on, the only board that makes me almost fall every now and then when my weight just goes over and you cant jib your way out of that mess. Overall a very good board and the flex is stable and continuous in lack of a better word. Enjoy!
@@skankwave5245 precision and performance and stability, yes. I learned to ride on traditional camber and couldn't justify buying the burnout. My local shop guy gave me a deal and a free wax too and let me lay away the board. I'll be picking it up on Friday.
@@dreygiddout what do you mean about not being able to justify the burnout? Was it more expensive or something about the specs
@@skankwave5245 I'd have to order it online through ride, and pay in full. By the time i had the money and had it come in the mail, it would spring hot laps and well at that point, why???
When I saw the pigs in person they were underwhelming. I've never ridden a ride board so I thought the "smooth" ride its known for was what I was looking for.
I'm a prairie thrift dog who can find the best deals and researches exactly what I want. Realistically, I'm gonna riding street and building my own mega booters near my local river bank and hitting the park laps at the local ski hills here in the prairies of Canada.
Justification was not found. And the beast literally, fell into my hands, it's exactly what I need for right now and the near future. SENDING IT HUGE YEEWWWWWW
Would you buy this one or the jones mountain twin?
Not this.
Bust a review on the bakery ,pizza very gutti board
I am 220lbs an Size 10.5. What you Guys recommend for me. The 156W, 157 oder maybe the 154? I have now a Capita DOA with 161W
54
@@AngrySnowboarder ok. But the size Chart from ride says the 54 is only for 140-200lbs.
@@silentkazeshini4705 well a random chart must be the expert here.
im riding the 157. 210 lbs and size 13. i can lay down almost vertical carves and my shoes dont touch the snow. take the 154, it will be more fun
Think my Union Stratas would be pair fine ?
Sure.
im having trouble to pick between the twin pig and the slush slasher, i do some freeriding but want to get into park, what do you think i should get?
Have you even looked at the Slush Slasher?
@@AngrySnowboarder yea… what about it
Wouldn't be my first choice if just getting into park, real directional, real real real directional.
@@AngrySnowboarder is the dancehaul maybe a better choice?
Yes.
What size do you recommend for 5’6” , 150lbs?
48 or smaller.
I am 5'6" and 150lbs size 7.5 boot and picked up the 142cm.
Why recommend such stiff bindings for a soft/med flex board?
If you think those are stiff you should probably get off the couch and start working out before you snowboard.
@@AngrySnowboarder lol I appreciate the angry response it didn't disappoint. I was just scoping your recommendations for bindings on EVO and there both rated as Stiff Flex? Ive never played with those bindings so a genuine question. In your opinion, do you think something like the Salomon Holograms would be much flex?
hey, would you say this is a good choice for a guy that's a beginner but links turns and wants a board that turns well and wants to learn to accept the speed?
Fuck no, sit your ass down Speedy and get in your lane. You need to go get yourself a base model 93 civic not a WRX for your first board!
Thanks :)
Want one as a twin all mountain board that is decent enough in powder, ride it near normal length rather than size down too far. In your choicest words how dumb am I?
It's designed to be downsized.
What size is best for me? I’m 195 lbs, 5”11 and size 9 boot
54
Just had a couple days on my 151, I don't get it. Going up for sale. Maybe it needs some break in time?
Ok snap but meh, surprisngly catchy (I actually detuned in the parking lot...), I don't like how short the heel sidecut is, buttering is super awkward maybe just cause of the length, flops from edge to edge unlike other volume shifts I've ridden, it's ok in pow but the stiffness/rebound hinders it there and there's not enough rocker to really float IMO.
It carves really well and throws up huge sprays. Able to get totally low on it and it held in firm icy groomers, but I didn't like throwing my weight around on it, it had a pretty narrow riding zone, surprise it's tiny.
The search continues.
You would probably like the Benchwarmer or Zero more honestly.
@@AngrySnowboarder I think so. I saw a deal and had to give this thing a shot just cause it looks rad. I definitely get the luke warm review.
I'm 6'1 170 pounds and I ride 151. Riders are riding this board at a shorter length so insteadof going for a 154 or 156w as I usually would I went down about 5cm.
Cool story bro, thanks for reiterating what the marketing says.
What the actual fuck was the point of this comment ?
Hypothetical... If the twinpig existed in a vacuum, as in no war/super/mtnpig would your opinion on it change at all?
No because the Zero and Benchwarmer exist and they're better.
@@AngrySnowboarder Good, point. I was more thinking along the lines of the volume shifted boards in the line. I'm having a hard time thinking of other volume shifted asym twins. Edit, if you do see this what are your thoughts on the whole volume shift concept? Are these rebranded wides or are they specifically engineered to ride different than just a wide model of a regular deck?
Isnt it Slimewall?
It used to be. Slimwall is this year's version of that. It's slimmer.
This season they changed it to slimwall. You can actually see its slimmer on the edges.
Would a 151 board be good for a size 13 boot?
Depends on the width at the inserts.
@@AngrySnowboarder so I’d have to buy it to see?
Or look at the specs on the brands website.
@@AngrySnowboarder alright and what part of the specs would tell me idk how to size that stuff?
1. Look to make sure there's a W next to the size number so ideally a 151W that means it's wide.
2. Look at the Waist Width spec if it's below a 26 it's not for you with a sie 13.
3. Look at the tip/tail width spec you ideally want something that's 27.5 or higher but probably a 28 and up.
4. Take the tip/tail width subtract the waist width divide that number by 2 then add it back to the waist width number and roughly that is the width at the inserts not accounting for sidecut radius.
Have they changed since last year's model?
Yes. That's all I can say without giving up the plot.
They say it's lighter because of slimwall vs slime wall
lol what?
Did Ride cut the Machete from the line?
Yes.
Pun intended?
i love this board its awesome, the zero is just a lot snappier and gets way more pop than this guy does
How old are you🙂?
If you have to ask you're probably wondering if I'm your daddy.
Not a fan of this new background thing very distracting
New? It's over a year old.
