For the 2021 snowboard recommendation series we are looking back at every board I have ever tested and reviewed. In this video I highlight 5 snowboards that are going to help you with your park progression! Whether you are just getting started in snowboarding or a veteran rider, if you are looking to start the journey into park progression these snowboards are going to be easy to control and have the characteristics you want to excel in this style of riding. Let me know what you're riding in the park this season down in the comments.
#snowboarding #boardarchive #top5
I was looking for a good park board to ride up here in the Southeastern part of Michigan and picked up the Bataleon Disaster. Don’t hesitate to buy one of these. I’ve been riding since ‘95 and this has been one of the funnest boards I’ve added to my quiver. Love the 3BT!
dude! this footage of you buttering around with the clouds down below is so sick!
love your videos
Always watch your videos and love the top 5 boards
Great video Tj, I await the review of the proto slinger. greetings from 🇨🇱
Love these type of videos and exited to see what the season looks like
I know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Justice Elias instablaster =)
Solid vid. Appreciate all you do TJ! Smashing that like button!
Thanks Felipe!
Rode the protoslinger this season. It was a game changer in the park. Also just got the huck knife - so hype to test it out! Great video btw!
Any updates????
Love the videos keep up the good work man
thanks Brad
Bought the Hook Knife of the strength of this video..... Love it....
Much love from Manchester England.
Ayyyy another fire list keep it up!🔥
🙏🏼
Hey tj!!! I'm moving to Colorado from the east coast for the winter and just picked up the capita asymulator for my park/all mountain twin and I can't wait to ride it!!!!! Your videos are awesome have been a huge inspiration for me. If your in colorado this season stop by winter park, I'd love to shred with ya!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I have the Ikon so I think I will swing by at some point! thank you my dude!
my first deck was the 2018 capita outsiders (which i got after watching your review!), man do i love it. not too soft but i was never interested in doing presses anyways, and it rips for jumps and bombing the hill! it snowed in my city this week, which means the season is coming, plus more sick content from you guys :) can't wait
Yes that's awesome man stoked to hear that you are enjoying your Outsiders!
Thanks for the videos TJ! I’m currently on a 2012 Process Flying V. It still runs well but considering the Yes Basic/Jones All Mtn. I’m intermediate and mainly been working on steeps/carving but wanna focus my progression on park/butters now. Do you think I should stay on my current setup or get the new one? Leaning towards the Yes Basic cuz of the extruded base (less maintenance) and more flex and seems like it can handle all mountain but maybe not as well as the Jones.
eyyy. Hyped for the 20/21 season!
likewise!
Same! I ski, but my local hill opens tomorrow!
i love the funslinger...... seems like the new version is a more snappy daily driver :)
@boardarchive sweet logo. I’d like to rock it on my new Bataleon...
I'm interested in the proto slinger. I love my old funslinger. One of the better looking park boards I think. Although I think Scotty Stevens is king for aesthetics. I love the asymmetrical sidecut and the general playful feel.
The scotty always has such sick graphics, its like a more tech'd out version of the ultrafear.
The Yes Basic and Now IPO as a bundle is currently on a 24hr offer at The Snowboard Asylum for £289 (GBP), great price almost 50% saving. Good deal for any UK riders, not sure about international shipping.
How would the Capita DOA be for learning park? I remember your other vid show how it’s similar to the huck knife
Thumbs up 👍 for the Ultrafear!
What do you think about the Bataleon Evil Twin? I’ve seen that you had ridden it a bit! Keep up the good work!
Love it! One of my all time favorite snowboards. It is a great all around park board and could also be a good choice to get into park riding. But it is a little more expensive than the Disaster and has a bit of a narrower center base (more 3BT).
a great return to top 5's and the ultra fear is listed solid list!!!!
*that 18/19 ultra fear is the best looking ultra fear... period!
That year was a beauty! Such a fun board
@@BoardArchive do you still have board that in your quiver or did you have to return it to the rep? I've got mine on display in my office :D
@@Bad_Riders Nah they sent a lot of boards to test that season and I ended up hanging onto the Kazu, Ultrafear went back. Thats sick you've got it on display!
So currently on a 158 (need to get a size down as im 160 lbs.) Salomon Assassin and wanting a stable board to start hitting and learning bigger features and jumps but still having a all around board so it still could manage the full mountain. Would any of my current options be good, Ride warpig 151, huck knife ( or pro since its stiffer). Or anything else that could work? My ability level is just can get around the mountain and catch some air on side hits and feel comfortable just flowing through runs. But I want to do more and progress and not just mindlessly show up for a session of just doing little things ( if that makes sense). Don’t have a lot of cash hence why im trying to find info on everything i can. but didn’t get any help from the shop and demo days riding my current board so just wanted to reach out for thoughts and recommendations. Thank you and keep it up! Awesome videos as always
Proto slinger for the first board let's go!
Had the Ultrafear since 2017, so good on the butters and presses 💀🤘🏼
🤘🏼
@BoardArchive, what about the 2021 CaPiTa Horrorscope? Are those good for the park? Is that a good park board?
Hi i was looking for the ultrafear as jib and butters board. I already own a Capita Outerspace living 2019 and i think it's a great board also for learning park.
But i have some Problem with Butters it's the ultrafear a bit softer than the Outerspace or you think it's i just need to improve my technic and pressability will be the same for both boards?
Hey TJ, great video as always. Wanted to ask u what do you think about the Salomon the Villain to get into park riding...waiting resorts to open I'll just keep watching your vids and daydream, Ciao from italy
Definitely a great freestyle board and could also be a good one to get into park riding. It is slightly more expensive than the Huck Knife and they made it slightly stiffer in recent years so I opted for the HK instead of the Villain for this video
Ugh snowboard videos😍😍😍
I'm looking for a new board for learning how to butter properly. I don't go into the park very often (too afraid of nasty crashes) but want to play around on groomers all the time. Can't decide between Ultrafear, Protoslinger and Wallie. What would be the best option out of these for this kind of riding? I tried a Evil Twin before but it was too stiff for my liking just for reference. And I also own a stiffer twin for carving and icy days so it doesn't have to be good very good in this regard. Thanks in advance!
It hasn't been long since I received it but so far I'm very happy with the product Slides well and as expected
Hey TJ, do you think the Never Summer Funslinger would be a good board to learn park? Btw awesome video :)
absolutely! The funslinger has been replaced by the Proto Slinger this year
Yooo sick video! I have a question though what would you choose for an all around freestyle board (all park features and groomer stuff like side hits) the huck knife or an evil twin? I'm thinking the 3BT would make me learn bad habits lol. Love what you're going my man, keep it up.
DOA would suit you nicely bro but if its out of those 2 the huck knife will give you more edge hold on groomers making for a much more fun ride especially on icey days
both great choices! I personally love the evil twin as an all around park board but if you're not set on 3BT the Huck Knife will be a lot of fun
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
🙌🏼
I need that hoodie TJ!
🙏🏼 will be available soon thank you man!
You re killing it
Nah you're killing it
@@BoardArchive appreciate how you treating your community. Peace and love bro
I have a evil twin 2020 but need a new board i shreded the heck out of this board, whats the closest thing to it for focusing more in park
hey tj i want your help ,for lib tech orca i am between union falcor,union atlas 2021 and union ultra 2020....thanks
What's your opinion on the Arbor Relapse for learning park? Picked up last years board on new-blem for a good price. Wondering how it will be for park. Thanks dude, keep it up G.
That's one of the best boards on Arbor's line for getting into park riding. The Westmark is one of my favorite boards for all around park, but it is a little more aggressive than the relapse which makes it more difficult for learning.
Good job finding the blem for a good deal! Thats a great way to go.
Awesome Vid. What's your take on the Yes Dicey for park?
Haven't been able to try it yet, but it looks like it would be pretty solid
Why was Name Dropper honorable mention vs one of the picks? Also, thoughts on Kilroy Twin?
So interesting thank you though
Great Vid!
Do you think that the LibTech Skate Banana also falls into this category?
I haven't had the chance to try the new skate banana yet
Deciding between marhar darkside, the Huck knife, and the evil twin. Park riding mainly, want something forgiving on spins and rails but is also easy to control setting up & hitting jumps. (Or any other recommendations?) (have also looked at the box scratcher & ultrafear) thanks!
Which board did you decide on?
@@faultless18 I went with the Battalion Evil Twin! Absolutely love it!!
If an intermediate rider learning butters and jumps rides a bataleon evil twin - will they pick up bad habits ? ( 50% park 50% all mountain)
Debating what to get Proto slinger or evil twin?

I've just bought the Huck Knife and pop is amazing! Which bindings and boots would you recommend? I have Salomon Launch ones and they are a bit soft :(
thitytwo tm-2 are perfect
Just bought a Huck Knife...... Man love It, your bang on about the pop....
random side question, but why do most big snowboard youtubers live in colorado? whats wrong with utah? i feel like the only one in oregon/hood but for youtubers it all seems to be colorado or whistler area
New hoodie @Board Archive
soooon
If I have the ride twinpig and I’m looking for another board that’s a little more powder specific but can still carve, what would you recommend? I was thinking about the bataleon surfer or the gentemstick xy. I’d really love to hear your opinion.
Get the orca. Amazing carver and pow
Are park specific boards like these generally good in the trees. I'm building a quiver and would like something nimble and fast for trees but that also slays jumps and side hits while being able to jib
with all of them being true twin they aren't especially nimble in the trees but I still enjoy taking them through some tree runs. The softer flex helps. The ProtoSlinger will probably be the most nimble in there with its rocker profile, it pivots quickly
i love my funslinger, i delaminated the board under the front binding on 7th heaven on blackcomb. i tried to repair it but on inspection i actually split the core :(
i love NS and their designs, but i'm torn between a protosyntesis or a ride twinpig (i have size 14 boots so i gotta go wide)
Never Summer does make wide versions of their boards, compare the waist widths. Those are two very different boards though
How about the lib tech box scratcher?
This video was huge. It pretty much solidified my choice for the huck knife but hows it outside the park? Obviously not looking for it to bomb groomers but would like something good for side hits aswell.
Definitely a fun board for playing around on all sorts of features, it will be really fun on side hits don't worry. It's not a super serious aggressive board, but it is a great choice for all types of freestyle riding.
@@BoardArchive Thanks for the quick reply bud! I appreciate the work.
Yes. Basic for the W.
But im a little biased 😃
You deserve more subscribers
we're working on it! thanks man!
1.) love the new editing style looks super sick
2.) how does the capita Ultrafear compare to the horrorscope or Scott Stevens? Just curious if I ever upgraded from my Horrorscope.
ua-cam.com/video/cpkJhuhztDE/v-deo.html
love my huck knife. just started learning park and ripped her for opening day today
Glad to hear you got out for opening day, enjoy the Huck Knife!
@@BoardArchive defiantly will! I was ripping Sugar Mountain this morning near boone!
I’m looking at getting something a bit softer to learn to butter on and was thinking the disaster. What’s is it like all mountain wise? Groomers mainly. Just so on my one day trips I don’t end up having to take a second board that does well outside of park as well.
It's a playful board overall, but is definitely still fun for cruising
Hi, I want to ask you.
Is snowboard Ride Berzerker good for the park? (Why yes / why no)
????
Whats the white board in the background
Yo TJ, need some advice. I'm 5'4, 175lbs and most board rated for my size is 153cm and up. I find boards with 153cm length hard to maneuver in the park. What do u think about sizing down 4-5cm?
Smaller boards are easier to maneuver. Try a 145-147
The proto slinger seems to be very suitable for your riding style.
It is a really fun one
Bachelor opens in 3 to passholders! Im SOOOOO STOKED
sickk dude stoked you'll be on snow soon!
Hey tj I love union bindings what’s a good set to pair with my new potential park board ?
The Strata is a great and versatile option for freestyle focus, the force is going to have similar performance at a slightly lower price point. Or if you are looking for maximum tweakability check out the Contact.
Going with the ultrafear and the strata then to focus more on my park riding this season thanks a lot !
@@DrunkDalty I have that exact setup, and love it
Hey TJ, i’m a beginner boarder looking to ride mostly park this season size 12 boots, would you suggest the k2 www or ride kink?
Well I think you would probably might want to check out a wide or mid wide board, I currently ride the arbor element black, strong suggestion is the burton rip cord
I haven't ridden either of those boards in several years so I don't want to speak on them. But with size 12 boots i'd definitely be looking at wide boards with a waist width of at least 26cm
Thoughts on the propacamba? Don’t remember you doing a video on it.
Haven't ridden any Academy boards yet. I'll be riding with Chad and some of the Academy guys this season though and the propacamba is #1 on the list so will most likely ride it pretty soon
@@BoardArchive will keep and eye out.
Literally just bought the Ultrafear two hours before I watched this video so this was very reassuring for me lol
haha glad to hear man, enjoy!
Owned one for the last 3 seasons, silky little board! 🤙🏼
Hey TJ great vid, at 185lbs rad dad what size park board should I be looking at. Thanks so much
what board(s) you looking at??
@@BoardArchive what would recommend for older guy getting into park, i have capita mercury 159 for all mountain
Either huck knife , basic or ultrafast. Thank you budy!
test out the NITRO T1 next, its nitros best park board
@VWRabbit2008 why? I have it it’s a good board
1:49 helllllo 👌
I'm having some trouble finding a length that fits me I am 5'11'' and 130 lbs. I ride mostly park but I still like to go everywhere over the mountain what length should I get?
154 to 157. I'm 5'11 too, also ride park (mostly jumps) and some slopes and powder but I'm 175 lbs. Thus, I switched from a 156 to a 159 recently.
Depends what specific board(s) you're looking at, and do you think you're going to gain weight over the next couple years? looking for something to grow into? or looking for something that will be ideal for right now
@@BoardArchive I'm looking at buying a Bataleon Fun Kink, I will definitely gain weight in the next couple years but would rather have a board that fits for this season and next, after that I might get another board.
weight, you should get weight as you are skinny af! bahahahahaha :D
Hey TJ can you go on are channel and in are video OUR PARK TOUR
can you let us know if they are good or if we need to fix them
thank you
and how do you 540 I can 360 but when I try a 540 I land on my back
What about the GNU Headspace? I got it over the summer as my first board. I'd say I'm an intermediate level rider but I want to get into park stuff more. Do you think this is a good first board and a would it be a good park board?
great choice I love that board, it is a good all arounder and will definitely be fun in the park. I have a couple of reviews on that one, check them out! :)
@@BoardArchive awesome thank you!!
Did you get the Headspace and if so, do you like it? I'm an intermediate rider too but I can only do basic jumping and small jibs, and I wondered if the Gnu was too advanced?
@@EssenceOfTrance yes i did! it’s really a great board. awesome for the park but does well all mountain riding too. it has great pop but allows good control and me being from the east the magnatraction is really nice to have for grip in the ice. definitely recommend!
@@gloriadoudoukjian9603 Glad you like it! I went with the Capita Stevens Pro from 20-21. Figured it was a bit more forgiving since I'm a noob at park. I can only do 50-50's and boardslides on boxes and mediumish jumps. I'll definitely add the Headspace to my quiver in a few years, once I'm better and I'm looking for a little something more aggressive. Enjoy it! If yours is the 20-21 model, it has sick graphics too!
How does the ultrafear hold up on ice
It doesn't lol
what's the snowboard in the background with a skeleton hand
last years bataleon evil twin
@@BoardArchive isn't the evil twin good for butters, ollies, presses, etc?, asking because I want to get one, to start learning some small tricks as, with my burton HTH, I can only do tail ollies and, having only that board, does not help me to progress.
i think i need to size up my ultrafear!!
socioo, what size do you have again?
@@BoardArchive 151cm, i find it very soft
Thanks TJ! how in the hell do you have so many boards!?
I've been reviewing boards for a while now haha 😉 I return almost all of them
@@BoardArchive hahaha, that’s the trick... just return them ;)
Caitlin West LOL i mean return the Demo back to the Marketing people or Store I rented the demo from, but you know what I meant 🙃
@@BoardArchive pahaha, yeah I get you 👍😂
TJ What’s up brother. Did I miss something. You and Kevin still cool? Don’t see you guys doing vids anymore
Covid happened. Colorado is not in Canada
Yeah man, Kevin is Canadian so it just hasn't really been possible to travel and film together at the moment. I moved back to Colorado in March when everything started getting crazy.
would and 360 and a method go good together
There are a few ways to do a method with a 360 but they're all very difficult. Especially if you want them to look good and tweak them out.
I think a bs360 and "switch method" or "tweaked stalefish" (same grab) looks great and is a lot of fun
@@BoardArchive thanks so much love your channel
@@j.s.6080 thank you
Would you recommend the Ride twin pig or the capita DOA
Twinpig has lots of advantages like being able to size down and rides well in powder, only down side in the park it is significantly slower edge to edge. I've your more park riding then DOA would suit more for that but the twin pig for something that performs at a really good standard in many types of terrain
@@adamharms5976 Thanks appreciate it
@@adamharms5976 I ride 70% park so should I get the DOA ?
@@ethansauve7816 id go for DOA if thays the case mate
@@adamharms5976 Thanks I’ll get the DOA then. What do you ride just out of Curiosity
Bataleon disaster or nitro cheap thrills?
I'm not familiar with the cheap thrills
Need an update on this video!
Yeew
How is the capita defenders of awesome?
review coming to the channel soon
Board Archive beat you to it and splurged on it😂messed up the base on a rock at keystone, but it is one hell of a board. Looking forward to the review!
@@RedemptioINN glad you’re liking it!
I hate never summer for only one thing: THEY ARE ALWAYS OUT OF STOCK. First I wanted the bone, waited for my paycheck and it's gone, then after couple of weeks decided to go for protoslinger and guess what - out of stock (i need 57-59w). Guys from never summer if you're watching it - get your shit together and produce more of 155+ sizes.
Never summer all the way
Why disaster over evil twin?
Softer flex and wider centerbase primarily. Lower cost is a bonus too. The Evil twin is also a great choice for getting into park but I opted for the Disaster in this video
@@BoardArchive thanks for the response
I wanna hate you UA-cam nerds so bad but I can't.
I'm a 49 year old dinosaur shred with a bad attitude and the stoke has never been higher. largely in part to the content "you" guys are putting out. By "you" I mean the collective you. I'm too lazy to list them all but all equal in stoke!
Thanks!
who excited for heavenly opening day tmrrw??
Oh nice your in mt.hood. I lived in govy (the shittiest town i ever fucking lived in) for a year before i moved to portland. And tbh, you can learn on any fkn snowboard... when it
Comes
To
Park/freestyle~ all mtn, powder boards etccc its all preferance, yes a pow boards meant for pow etc but tbh u can ride park with any fuckint board. No one bords gonna make u better than the other.. just personal preference
Park video snowboards are the shiiiiiit
You didn’t talk about the name dropper !
Neversummer boards>>>
First
Socioo
Signal board is number one sorry lol
3BT for days... years... eons
What’s up with the name dropper ? Video says 5 boards and you list 6.
threw it in as an honorable mention
Disaster is a lot softer than you think, very noodly
