r/snowboarding

 I jumped on this board and had a blast in the deep pow, which this board kind of sits around, you know, more of a park kind of all-mountain-ish snowboard. And it did really well on the pow, had a lot of fun in it, riding it, switching regular of like quite a few times, just jumping around, very smooth from spinning around, you know, spinning your 180s. You didn't really have to force yourself back to regular or anything like that. And that brings me into being why and what is asym, asymmetrical boards are where there's a deeper side cut to the heel edge, so it feels more like your toe edge

 It really just let me pilot around the hill. And when I wanted to spin it and do some side hits and throw some threes around, it really helped me do that. Plus it never took away when I was in the deep pow. As you see in this video, there's a lot of pow riding and it was that kind of scenario where I'm like, hey, I got to ride the pow boards in the pow and a twin ASIM board in the pow and it rode really well

 Plus it never took away when I was in the deep pow. As you see in this video, there's a lot of pow riding and it was that kind of scenario where I'm like, hey, I got to ride the pow boards in the pow and a twin ASIM board in the pow and it rode really well. I'd recommend this board to take a look at, like, you know, I mean, go down to your board shop that has it, take it, smell it, do the sniff test, do the flex test. And you know what I mean? Talk to those guys

 That being said, it's the, from when in the back of the 80s when they made race boards, they make race boards and your feet are set up positive. And so it makes it so the heel edge starts a little bit below the toe edge contact point. As well as some companies do make like a magnet traction or edge profiling that is also shifted in the board to make your board track better on the heel edge. In the last few years, I've ridden a lot of these asym boards and I've enjoyed every single one

Capita Asymulator Snowboard Review

The Jones Mountain Twin Snowboard is built to charge the whole mountain. There is no shortage of surf and stability with the blunt tip on this board. The intermediate, more experienced snowboarder may benefit from the 3D-contoured CamRock base that gives the board a lot of power and pop under foot.
Key Features:
- Freeride / Freestyle Pack Inserts – You can center or set back your bindings depending on the conditions you’re riding.
- Solar-Powered Factory – Jones is using natural energy from the sun to operate its snowboard factory. On top of that, it uses recycled and sustainable materials in the build process.
- Forever Flex – The Mountain Twin, as well as every Jones board, undergoes a break-in process during production so that the flex and responsiveness is just right.
- Sintered Base – Every Jones board is equipped with a sintered base for fast, smooth runs and seamless turns on any terrain.

The 2023 Jones Mountain Twin is a true-twin cambered ripper that will feel at home anywhere at the resort. The Mountain Twin comes with V-Core, which is slightly softer between the bindings for improved maneuverability, and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability and pop. This board is playful enough to butter and cruise on the mellow days, and firm enough to support hard charges all over the resort. The true twin shape makes it perfect for jibbing, park jumps, and launching off of side hits.
Key Features:
- Sintered 8000 Base – A material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon; Incredibly durable and insanely fast.
- 3D Contour Base 2.0 – 3D base contour features a 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and tail, designed to create effortless turning, increase float in powder, and help reduce drag.
- Forever Flex – Jones breaks in all of their boards using a special machine that mimics aggressive riding. This stabilizes the flex of the board so that it feels the same on day 100 as it did on day 1.

The Jones Mountain Twin is one of Jeremy Jones's original boards when he released his line in 2009. It's a directional twin freestyle board that performs well in the park but still has good powder performance. This board is good for intermediates and experts who want a park or all-mountain board. Ambitious beginners might even consider this board.
Key Features:
- 3D Contouring – Jones is one of a few companies that can make 3D boards. 3D shapes make turning in powder much easier and more surfy. The 3D sides also reduce edge catching.
- Traction Tech 3.0 – Three extra contact points on the side of the board cut through snow and ice like a saw blade to help riders hold an edge on icier days.
- Sintered Base – The Jones 8000 sintered base helps the bottom slide freely over the snow, making this board faster.
- Good for the Environment – Jones's commitment to green manufacturing means less impact on the environment. Jones uses recycled plastic for the sidewalls, recycled steel for the edges, environmentally safe wax, and exclusively solar energy for its factories.

 It also tops out at 200 lbs recommended weight for the biggest size which means it might be a little soft for what you want.

I've been snowboarding for a few years now and I cannot imagine anything topping this. That being said, I have a dilemma. I went to get a board for the first time to stop renting. It's awesome, skip the line, hit the lift. This being said, I got fitted into something that I didn't know wouldn't work very well for me. The bindings were sized too small, and the board is not quite the performer that I was hoping for. It doesn't seem designed for 'speed' but more for playing around and hitting stuff...a 'rock board' if you will. Now I'm not entirely surprised that the bindings were fitted small as I wear a size 13 boot, 6' 4", and 205lbs. I already have some bindings on the way, but I'd like a board that will not only fit my feet, but has more of a powerhouse design if you will. I know directional boards are an option, or other styles which are great, but im looking for a specific board that you like, or heard other like. 

Thanks, and I hope the snow is still falling where you board! 😎

Recommendation for something kind of specific

 I'm riding the 154cm 2020 model with my bindings set up at the angles of positive 12 on the front foot, negative 9 on the back and a width of just under 22 inches. I weigh 72kg or 160lbs and am 6ft tall. I'm wearing mid-stiff flex, I'm wearing mid-flexing Solomon Launch boots which are size 9.5

 I'll mainly be comparing the Mountain Twin to the Captain of Mercury because they have very similar features and I've spent quite a bit of time riding both boards. There's also the upgraded Ultra Mountain Twin that has a stiffer flex, lighter weight and a faster base. I think that the Mercury sits somewhere in the middle between the regular Mountain Twin and the Ultra Mountain Twin. Both the Mountain Twin and the Mercury have a profile with camber on your feet, rocker on the nose and tail, a setback stance, mid-stiff flex, sintered base and some sort of edge design to give you better grip on ice

 Although Jones rate the Mountain Twin as having a flex rating of 7 out of 10, it feels softer than that to me, especially once it's broken in. I would say at most it's a medium flex. That isn't to say it feels too soft, it's just a lot easier to move around and flex than the Mercury. The Mountain Twin and Ultra Mountain Twin are the only two men's boards in the Jones line that don't have any spoon in the nose or tail so they have a very direct feel when starting a turn

Jones Mountain Twin Snowboard Review

 As you might expect the Jones Mountain Twin does have a mountain twin shape so what that means is that between the contact points it's effectively a true twin it rides just the same in both directions but you get a little bit of extra length outside the contact points on the nose to help float and powder and it's also got a pretty stiff flex I would rate this flex right around a six six and a half out of ten not quite as aggressive as the flagship but definitely a pretty aggressive snowboard. If you're the type of rider that enjoys throwing freestyle into your riding but you're looking for a board that's gonna be solid for freeriding and powder you know but still being able to do like spins and stuff like that the Jones Mountain Twin is an excellent choice definitely would recommend it for you guys thanks for watching I hope y'all enjoyed the video if you want to learn more about this snowboard make sure to check the description we got some links down there for you to check out and if you got any questions for us hit us up on Instagram Kevin's at Snowboard Pro Camp I'm at Board Archive thanks again guys I appreciate you and we'll see you next time

 Good morning guys it's a cold cloudy day up here on Whistler Blackcomb today and I am going to be trying out the 2018 Jones Mountain Twin shout out to Evolution Whistler for the demo and yeah it should be a good day to test out this board we got some soft snow but we're probably going to be sticking mainly to the groomers just because the coverage is a little dicey off pissed but uh should be fun. So Jones actually leases the magnetraction technology for Mervin and they have it on the Mountain Twin so it adds additional contact points along the edge it's a mellower magnetraction versus what Libtech uses like on boards like the T-Rice Pro for example but still adding tons of grip it's a pretty firm icy day out here and still having loads of fun carving holding a strong edge and really throwing my weight into the turns and the board is just holding up really well right now. A big standout for me on the Mountain Twin that's actually pretty surprising in my opinion is this board is actually really really poppy it has a cam rock camber profile so camber between the insert packs with a rockered release in the nose and tail but despite having those rockered tips still providing loads of pop ollieing rollers and things like that. One of my favorite parts about this board is actually just the top sheet it's a beautiful snowboard just looking down at it while I'm riding it's just stoking me out it's a great looking board Jones killed it on this one

The Jones Mountain Twin is a good choice, as is Arbor Shiloh Camber. For bindings, i really like NOW/Jones bindings for their Skatetech. Can feel the edge power really well.

Hi everyone,

I started snowboarding last season and came to really enjoy it. I rented all season and would identify as an intermediate boarder. Towards the end, I was going down blue runs without issue and even did a few blacks cautiously. I plan to buy all new gear for this season, I could use some help with recommendations. Budget is not really an issue, I recently got a big promotion so I am looking to buy myself something nice.

I am mostly looking for general boarding, and improving to become comfortable on blacks and maybe tackle some double blacks. I may also go to the park once in a while, but I primarily plan to just ride down the mountain. I understand a stiffer board, bindings, boots are better for speed and stability. So I've figured something more stiff than not, but not maximum stiffness.

I just bought RIDE 2022 Deadbolt Zonal (9.5M US) (Flex 7) snowboarding boots today.

I'm eyeing this snowboard - practically sold on it, the reviews are great and it is an all purpose board that was recommended for intermediate boarders: [https://neversummer.com/products/mens-snowtrooper-snowboard](https://neversummer.com/products/mens-snowtrooper-snowboard)

Which bindings should I be considering for this board? I know significantly less about bindings, I just understand you have stiffness levels of bindings as well. I was planning to buy whatever is on sale at the ski shop right now, but I'm worried I'll be buying a higher end board and then get crappy bindings that start to defeat the purpose.

I already have snow pants, goggles. gloves, and am buying a helmet soon (whatever is on sale)

Addendum: I reside in the PNW and will primarily board there.

EDIT: I really liked the never summer, I think a big part of it is the graphic lol. But there is too many people telling me that is a mistake. Really torn here tbh, but I think I&#39;ll just have to find another cool board from the recommendations here. I&#39;d really hate to make a mistake with my first snowboard purchase.

Snowboard &amp; Bindings Recommendation

Jones/Arbor both have 3D shaping for slush and catch-free, grip/edge tech for firm conditions. Yes sidecuts also grip really well

Hi guys,

So I've been boarding for a while now and have spent the last 10 years or so on a Rome Pusher and Burton Verdict and it's about time they get replaced with something better. Both the Pusher and the Verdict are rocker boards.

I'm located in Australia though and for our conditions honestly they've both been a bit questionable, probably not the right choice getting a rocker for our conditions. Australia tends to be icey, hard-packed, with everything being resort riding and in these conditions neither of the above have usually been lacking. When it's warmer and the snow softens up the Verdict in particular is goofy fun, practically impossible to catch an edge so it lets me get away with all sorts of rubbish I shouldn't be able to. The pusher is less forgiving but for some reason I always found it kinda hard to turn. Neither board locks into turns the way I would like. Neither of them really seem to grip into icey hard pack with any reliability. The Verdict in particular can only seem to do skidded turns.

My hope is to get a board that carves like my rental boards did when I first started, I'd like to actually be able to carve and have the poppy feel going from one carve to the next that I get from he traditional camber on my first rental boards ages ago. I'd also like something that can be turned aggressively and quickly by someone who isn't an expert rider. I don't hit parks, it won't be doing powder, I like to do some side-hits here and there, a bit of jumping, a bit of buttering, a bit of everything, and 95% of the time I'm riding regular so directional may be the go. So I'm thinking directional-twin, all-mountain freestyle either cambered or some sort of hybrid camber.

So do I just get a Burton Custom? Ride Shadowban? Is there something that sounds like it's particularly suited to Australian snow conditions that I should be considering?
