You have changed my mind about owning a quiver. If you need to ride rocker so you can figure out how awesome camber is get after it. Pow is hard and it's own thing. Thank you for spreading shred and the vibe. Love your approach to snowboarding and especially the culture. We all love you Tommie B. Can't wait to be rocking the goggles this spring. Peace and blessing.
Rode a hybrid for a couple years...realized I hated it the 3rd year. Went back to traditional camber this year and I love it and my riding is so much better and improving again.
Some comments about pow in here. Personally I find the shape of the board and the flex pattern to be far more important than the camber profile. A full camber board that is directionally shaped - with a wide nose and good taper, and has a directional flex will ride fantastically in any powder conditions.
I love riding camrocker. Having 60-80% camber under the feet still preserves a lot of the feel of traditional camber but I just love waking up on a pow day and not having to change anything at all and just rip all day long no problem
Same I've ridden all kinds of camber profiles and camrock is a nice compromise. It is a tiny bit looser in ways than camber but overall I feel like it's more versatile and playfull. I recently got a camrock and it's buttery in the tips yet lays trenches carving etc and like you said way better in powder. I started on full camber boards when that's all there was and they are def way less fun in powder haha.
Love this video Tommy I have a camber board I love on home much pop I get from Ollie’s and ramps and I get more control on carving it’s definitely a Swiss Army knife of snowboards I love my snowboard I have a 2020 Burton 3d daily family driver camber snowboard with burton step one and I love it
I tucked my camber board away because i was upset about some recent gashes its received. Rode an old rocker i had for a few weeks, then switched back to my cambered board today, and will never go back after seeing the contrast in controll again
I also enjoy riding camber much more. Actually, this year I bought a camber pow board because I wasn't enjoying my other pow board (flat between the bindings to rocker) while on groomers. I even enjoy riding my new board switch😀
Camber is the only way to go for basic resort and park riding. I ride the gnu headspace with the c3 profile. I do love riding my essential service with the c2 profile on pow days, thing makes riding pow effortless.
Hybrid shapes also do great for pow riding. Camber boards are great for freestyle/park riding. I really enjoy boards like Yes The Greats Uninc as it is a traditional camber with an aysym sidecut. The aysym sidecut makes heel side carves lock in.
@@SugmaDLigmaNutz I'm 6'3 (192cm) and 85kg (187 lbs) with EUR 45 shoes (size 11) and the 159 is ideal for me. Thus, you might be right (154/156 is maybe better). If you wanna use it as a even more stable and more pow friendly variant, going one size higher can pay out, tho
@@JohnnyEase i can't ride anything smaller than a 26.1 waist width with US 11.5 boots. That's my problem. I also like volume shifted boards for pow riding.
I found that board awesome but not holding well under speeds and bumps as its flex seemed too soft. The asym sidecut is such a great idea though and generally their short radius cut is amazing
If you learn how to ride pow you can ride a true twin full camber in pow with very little effort… granted you have to be an incredibly high level rider before that becomes reality. I’m my opinion everyone should own a true twin full camber and a directional with either full or directional camber if they ride a lot.
Do you carve differently, on a cambered board vs a rocker? I love the channel @Tommy! Just started snowboarding this year and I’m loving it, your videos have been a huge help. I learned to carve this season on a Burton LTR. Im having trouble transferring the skill to a standard cambered board now that I have my own setup, especially toeside. Do you have any advice for transitioning from a rocker to a camber, to help get the board on edge and take advantage of the camber to lock on to that edge? With the rocker all it took was a little ankle/knee pressure and some lean, but with the cambered board that’s not doing enough.
I’ve found rocker to be slightly more delicate with how you turn, or laid back depending on how you look at it, where on my camber boards I am using my whole body to flex that camber through my turns. I got my first camber board this year and thought that it was gonna be some big change but all that I noticed was that it asked more from than my rocker board not really harder to ride, and I can still be very laid back, however it rides best when I’m working it hard. So I’d recommend focusing on getting yourself stacked over the board in a good athletic position and pushing the board through the turn rather than using just your ankles and leaning into the board. Leaning will often lead to getting your weight out over the board and losing your edge, so instead think about applying pressure to the edge.
I've ridden only full camber for so many years now that other profiles just feel all wrong. Especially full rocker - I just can't fathom them at all. Hey ho - each to their own.
I've only ever had camber boards since I started when I was 5 (I'm 33 now) I got a lib TRS and it's the rocker in the center and camber under foot, I'm not a huge fan. Next board will absolutely be a Camber board and I probably will never go back
What’s a purely camber board like on a flat but faster cat track, do you need a o stay on edge the whole time as your board wants to veer off in different directions? Like the idea of a pure camber board but a little worried about the lack of forgiveness for an intermediate rider
A traditional camber board with a directional shape and flex (tail is narrower and stiffer than the nose) tracks well even when running flat if you need to. It's also easy to hold a tiny bit of edge on a trad camber board and rock from edge to edge with super long and narrow turns on any cat track or road.
LoL ... In the middle of the clip I figured out I had no idea what profile I was riding (capita indoor survival) So I looked it up and it seems to be camber - hooray :) It also says something about positive camber in the middle and zero camber at the ends - no idea what that's all about, but I really like this board
Tommie do you ride skateboard or just snowboard? U are so good and u inspired me to try my best when im snowboarding but i dont know if i can progress because I dont ride skateboard?
I’m just wondering about the conditions you’re riding in…that spring or summer slush. I take it that stuff is just frozen solid like an ice skating rink first thing in the morning and you just have to wait for it to soften up? Idk but something about it just seems strange to me somehow, it going from awful to great every day. Or does it never get back to freezing at that point? It’s just a big dirty Slush Puppy melting in the summer?
Nothing wrong with Hybrid shapes. If you are in an area where you get lots of pow, rocker between feet and camber outside give you float and pop and you can still snap off of the tail because it's in the camber zone.
Thats the Burton Tornado Warning , awesome board dedicated and influenced by the Japanese flatground trick scene , TJ from Board Archive did a review on it and I came close to buying one but its for lighter smaller riders and I think my size 10.5 boots might be pushing its waist width , before that Tommies been riding a Burton Custom off axis twin board , so basically the asym burton custom .

One of the coolest midget snowboarders out there.
Nailed it with one word "predictably"!🤙
Definitely down to hear you go over other shapes

could u pls make video for other styles such as hybrid camber or hybrid rocker etc. thanksss

Fully agree. Got the same board. Insane do it all solution
@JohnnyEase although I feel the 159 has a wide stance for a 5'11 rider.

Exactly why my park board is a mid flex camber.
My whole quiver is camber! Best for sure!
Was hoping you’d talk about your preferred flex on camber boards also.

Learned on camber and stayed on camber.

What boards do you have that match these criteria?
Hey Tommie great video. Are you setting your bindings back very often on your powder days?

Indoor Survival is an underrated board
Absolute jerry

What is your board stiff rating in the video?
Rumor has it, the bug eater only rides camber too
have you tried burtons flying v? what are your thoughts on that?
Nothing wrong with Hybrid shapes. If you are in an area where you get lots of pow, rocker between feet and camber outside give you float and pop and you can still snap off of the tail because it's in the camber zone.
Bruh literally buy anything other than a flying v
What board are you riding?
Thats the Burton Tornado Warning , awesome board dedicated and influenced by the Japanese flatground trick scene , TJ from Board Archive did a review on it and I came close to buying one but its for lighter smaller riders and I think my size 10.5 boots might be pushing its waist width , before that Tommies been riding a Burton Custom off axis twin board , so basically the asym burton custom .
Who is this bennet guy ?
Your reasons are all personal preference
Rocker boards are for wusses
