Does anyone else just come to these videos to see TJ shred?? Love his riding style.

Arbor consistently gets love from everyone. I remember when I had the westmark rocker like 6 years ago and it was high on everyone's list. I usually feel like boards fade in and out, but this board is on everyones list All The Time. I love that board.

This is my 3rd season on a super doa and still absolutely love this board. I went big, 161w, and love it so much I may buy another super doa in a smaller size

Badass video like always TJ! I picked up the 2022-2023 Capita Navigator. Can’t wait! Few more weeks

I got a season nexus last season and have been enjoying it. I ride an evil twin most of the time but take out the nexus whenever there's fresh snow and it has great float and seems to be super nimble in trees, turns effortlessly. I think that mixed with it being a bit on the more flexible side makes it feel just slightly unstable at high speed which took a bit of getting used to but overall I'm happy with it.

missing: Nitro Team Pro - such a superb Do It All Style Board! I hope you get to review it TJ! Awesome stuff as always!

Love my westmark camber first season on it and it’s been so fun progressing jumps and holds well on groomers. Grip tech takes some getting used to on carves tho

great footage

review of boards but with a level of riding of a professional...men, what style!!!

Dude!! Love the vid. I just bougth the normal D.O.A. It is amazing!!

Me with my 4 year old westmark rocker looking at my next board. Looks like I'll hold onto it for a few more seasons!

pedazooo, sos un capo

The editing on these vids is top tier! 👌

Hey my man. What angles are you running your bindings at? If you differ from board to board, your more jib/park focused boards.

So many good boards

Finally a list with some capita love…

I got the whatever 159w and i ran a rock through the base and and wood layer on my first week.

thank you for including the #seasonNexus .. love it.

Really appreciate your reviews!! I've seen you rolling on the union ultra's along with your atlas's.... When can we get a review on those bad boys?!

Another great review, love watching this channel. Is the whatever to the evil twin the same as the Goliath is to the evil twin plus ?

@boardarchive Where are you snowboarding at 3:18? It looks amazing!!

Tj u r shredding the place hi from New Zealand

where would you put the burton custom camber?

Do you have any recommendations for ppl with bigger feet I outgrew my last snowboard and with size 15 feet it’s hard to find good boards that’s keep my toes from dragging

Hey TJ, how wouldyou compare the Burton Blossom to the Burton Free Thinker & Custom camber? Thanks.

Any directional shape to recommend ?

Did you try the bataleon whatever beyond medals? Do you think it's still good for intermediate riders and some buttering?

Any thoughts on cardiff snowboards? I just bought the crane and it's been a dream in both park and in the pow

What do you think about the twinpig this year?

Huge vid

Hi, Can I ask you, what bindings would you put on that super DOA? I saw that you ride it with Union Atlas, is it normal or pro? Or is it ok to have it with Union Ultra? Thanks :))

Thanks for these reviews and recommendation videos, they're great. I'm an intermediate rider in Europe who likes the idea of 3BT. I am considering the Whatever, but I won't be riding much park, generally am riding with skiers. So am wondering if I would be better off with the Goliath for more stability at speed and a longer term board. Would the Goliath be too much board for an intermediate rider in your opinion? And if I go with the Whatever is it capable for charging on piste?

2023 gnu essential service for the win.

Sick! What brand of pants are you wearing in this video?

I have a Bataleon Whatever, 154cm. I'm 5'8", 165lbs, shoe size 43 Euro or 8.5 US. I'm on my 3rd season of snowboarding, but skateboarded for about 15 years and surfed for 20 years. I have 4 snowboards. This board is awesome for me. It's like a skateboard. I don't have to think about turning it because it turns when I want it to, unlike other boards I have to guide around the turns. And it will not catch an edge with the 3-D profile. I have a Bataleon Party Wave that I was catching edges on a lot when I started out. I think that board needs to be moving faster because it's so wide, then it won't catch. But this one is so light and responsive. It never catches edge. It's a blast to ride. I do agree that it seems to have some limits, like when I want to go super fast and have it track a straight line. It kind of dances a little bit in comparison to my LibTech Orca. And the base doesn't seem as fast as my Orca or my Jones Mountain Twin. But it's so much fun. Last season after I got it, I never rode any other boards unless there was a lot of powder, like a foot or more. Anyone who is a beginner through intermediate should consider this board. Bateleon is a great company.

Hey TJ what about the capita mega merc?

Nice breakdown, TJ! Everyone keeps telling me the Capita DOA is the best

hey tj! when the free thinker review coming?

My dream snowboard setup would probably be a textured gel helmet odoland goggles i forgot the name of the jacket and snow pants but other than that the gloves would be those mittens that connect to your jacket and the goliath snowboard from this video with clew bindings and regular burdon boots but that would cost alot so probably never gonna get it idk

Bataleon Whatever 2022

Another great video and review. Any chance we could get a video explaining what it means and show what it is to be an "expert", "intermediate", and "beginner" riders. I see almost every piece of gear has this rating but what does that even mean? Is it base on terrain or speed or tricks, I guess a combo would make the most sense. If you were going with t rice snowboarding would you say expert? VS if your family, friends etc asks

Never thought I’d see the where TJ picks the westmark rocker over camber🤣 I remember your frank April edition from couple seasons ago 😍

Can u try the jones all mountain or frontier

Hey, nice video! I used a never summer hybrid board (PROTO HD) for 7 years and im hitting S-M jumps and 50-50 on rails. Outside the park i really like to go fast do a little carving (not so aggressive) but mostly side hits and popping in the transactions. Buying a new board is a huge "event" for me so, what board you think it suits me the most? Help me guys!! I dont think TJ wil answer 🤣

What about the free thinker?

Demo the battalion thunder plz ❤

How does the Burton freethinker 2023 compare on this list???

How does the Blossom compare to the Capita Outsiders cause they seem similar on paper?

TJ, Excellent footage! After watching your and other vids out there I am right on the fence between Mercury and Super DOA. I am an experienced rider but coming back after a few years of hiatus - life happens :). All the new tech is overwhelming! 1) How chatty is Super DOA? The board looked very stable and "quiet" on groomers and landings in your vid. Dare I take it to the back bowls? 2) Merc sounds like the better board for the back bowls (where I spend most of the day) where things could get fast.. Though the fun for me is the canyons, natural features, weaving through moguls, switching it up while jumping... mach 10 carving does not really interest me that much, but precision and control are important. What's everyone's take on the two boards for the kind of riding I really want to focus on this season?

First!! Love what you do TJ keep it up! YEWWW

TJ! What angles and stance width do you ride with?

How about the Yes 🔥 Standard?

so I just bought an arbor Westmark rocker. it was recommended to me by a shop based off what I am looking for. I currently ride a yes the Y directional board which is pretty stiff. I like it for carving but I am looking to get into buttering tricks and riding switch. so I wanted a true twin that could still ride the whole mountain. My main concern is I got the rocker which sounds good for buttering but I feel I might struggle with carving. I board in the east so powder isn't really I thing here sadly. I have never ridden a rocker board so I guess I will see how it goes. I can still return it and I was wondering if you had any suggestions before I take it out. IM a smaller rider about 5'6 140lbs. Im really looking for a board that I can butter with but still have fun on the mountain. I don't do much park but I may give it a try. The capita DOA seems like a good fit for me but I'm wondering if it will be to stiff for learning buttering Thanks for the dope videos and I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Would the Solomon Assassin be close to this list? I just moved from Arbor Westmark camber, which was too stiff for me and love the Assassin. Was hoping it made the cut! Love the vids as always!

Can you do a ride zero review

TJ, I know the Evil Twin didn't make this list but I've been eyeing it up. It's been a few years of not riding (kids!), but want to get back into it. Live on the east (Ice) coast and just wanted to know if the Evil Twin (+) is worth it for our sub par conditions? I ride (an old Solamon Twin 151) all over the mountain and love the park and pipe if there is one. Would the Arbor Westmark be a better choice for the icy conditions since it has the side bites? Thanks in advance for the help.

for an intermediate rider, would you recommend the bataleon goliath (or +), bataleon evil twin (or +), or the capita super doa? Also wondering what bindings you would recommend paring with each of these boards.

Skilllz

What skill level would you say the arbor westmark is best for?

Can someone guide me to choosing my first board ….. I’m between K2 Raygun & Nitro T1

I would say I’m a intermediate to advanced rider and I don’t know what board to get next. I’ve been riding a capita pathfinder for the last season and a half but I’m not a big fan of it anymore. I want a board that will handle well at high speeds, good on groomers, playful, and decent in powder. If you could help out that would be awesome.

bear mtn!

Does anyone know how well the Battalion Whatever and/or the Season Nexus handles icy runs? I’m assuming the Nexus holds the icy spots better, but are either of them good on ice, compared to something like magne-traction?

How much stiffer is the Super DOW compared to the white Goliath you rode? I have the Goliath and love it but was thinking about grabbing the Super DOA

The one I bought this year didn't make your list. It's brand new though so maybe you didn't get a chance to test. I bought the YES std Uninc and it rips. Not had it out on a deep day yet so I'll be interested to see how it gets on being camber. I like it so far though.

No Jones Mountain Twin?

As always a solid list that makes me want to buy more Snowboards haha... but i really dont need to. Would love to see you on a Yes Typo... which could be a contender for this list. And that Lago x CW Double Barrel you have been hording away 😁

surprised you picked the rocker version of the Westmark. why not camber?

Should i buy Nitro Team Pro or Burton Custom

How about 2023 ride mtnpig?

Burton Blossom is the best park snowboard on the Planet! but certainly not an all-mountain board.

TJ is just ripping man

Bro 1/100 like ratio oh my god it deserves more

Can we just appreciate for a moment how hard this dudes rips?:O

Salomon assassin should be up here!

Have you had a chance to test the ride shadowban?

golden orca

Are you not recommending the Pig Series anymore? Or just don t test it over and over again. I was wondering, bcs you recommended it for years and now I didn’t hear of any Ride boards for a while from you.

Do you know why David hasn’t uploaded

No way Burton is on this list without a payment to tha biz. Burton is the Balenciaga of snowboarding. Total shit.

Just bought the Bataleon whatever beyond medals and it is money!
