I have the MegaDeath and the Gremlin - both are out of this world when it comes down to All Mountain Performance - Nice, that both are in your personal favorites list 🤙🏻
I'm a beginner, but picked up an Endeavor BOD Ion 2nd hand for very cheap. When I started riding, I thought it was going to throw me off the instant I did anything wrong. After I did a few laps, I started getting comfortable and relaxed a bit and found how incredibly forgiving it is. Maybe I'm just too inexperienced and only riding blues really, but the 3D nose and tail just never threw me. It's so forgiving, even for times that I thought that it probably should have caught an edge, it didn't. I'm absolutely in love with this board. One thing I'd like to see is Endeavour bringing back some of the top sheet designs they did for their Ion series. They just look so pretty (which quite honestly, was a pretty big reason I bought it)
Thanks for the confidence boost on pulling the trigger on a Gremlin this season! There’s not a lot of reviews on it, but after 25+ years on Burtons they just can’t hold in east coast ice/hard pack and needed something new!
How does the MD compare to the HKP? Feels like the HKP offers a lot of similar benefits as the MD - lightness, energy, precision, and ability to explore the mountain.
Great channel. I like your video with Dave Downing. Can you tell me more or do a video just on the grill master. I am considering one for a smooth carvy chill ride for riding with my young kids who are just getting into riding.
Is see in the video you are riding the '23 Bataleon Cruiser. Worth noting that the 24 model seems quite different. They have changed the wood core for this particular model for '24 and also Bataleon moved factories for production of their snowboards - and it seems to have had a detrimental effect. Angry Snowboarder loved the '23 model but rated the '24 model very poorly.
Seems he mentions the same board companies usually. Could be personal preference or those are the board companies that let him demo their decks. Ive heard good things about Yes and Ride which i havent seen on this channel
What do you think about the YES Greats? Picked it up this season and I’m super hyped with it for the asymmetrical shape that really boosts the heel side edge game :)
Interesting picks. You clearly like directional stiff precision snowboards. It all depends on if your resort riding, backcountry, or hiking the preseason mini park. I’ve been a Mervin rider since 07. I would like to ride this Bataleon evil twin, it has me intrigued. Looks like a great resort riding and jib stick. It would be compared to a Trice pro? Or completely different? The shape has me very intrigued.
The difference is that boards labeled as volume shifted are meant to take surface area that would’ve been in the length of the board, and moved to the width. In other words, they’re meant to be ridden shorter and wider than “normal” boards. While any board can be made in a wide size for people with big feet, the length of those boards aren’t meant to be reduced. For bigger riders with big feet, volume shifted boards need to be even wider than their “normal” wide boards in order to have the same effect as a volume shifted board does for smaller riders with smaller feet.
At the end of the day it's a true twin, full camber snowboard with average width. It's not doing you any favors in powder. The 3BT will help a little compared to other twins, but nothing to write home about. It can hold its own for freeride, but is more of a mid flexing board so you can find the limits if you push it.
Yo TJ. love your detailed reviews. I have a grown a liking to the GNU hyper from what I hear about it but there is not many reviews out there for it. Was wondering if you could give me a quick review on it and if you like it. Thanks!

I always enjoy the talking headshots! The background always looks like a portrait 🏔️
so scenic even the focus of the cam decidet to change prioritys in the end... :P haha

How is it.? Thinking about t
@@4youreyesonly390 just ordered it last night! Will try to remember to report back after I’ve got a day or two on it 🏂
Megadeath 🤘🤘🤘my heart sings when tj rides a capita
Have you tried the yes x pyzel ?!? I’m loving it
The Gremlin is my absolute favorite! Such a fun board!
The mega death hype train is real. It delivers on everything Capital promises
Looking forward to hearing more about the mega death board
Tj please also test women's snowboards as well

can’t decide between the huck knife or B.O.D
Would you consider the k2 afterblack and all Mtn freestyle
Are you going to do a top 5 park boards soon?
Hey mate, how tall and heavy are you?
Have you been on the 2024 Rome Service Dog? Im going to Japan this winter and looking for a board to fit that snow.
Wich 3d shaping do you prefer the bataleon 3bt or the endeavor one ?

Hey TJ. I noticed there are no Yes boards in your reviews (that I can find)? Any reason? Best reviews going bud and awesome channel.

The Endeavor looks agile and lively, but it is to narrow for my boot size. Are there boards with a larger waist width riding similar?
I need a white hoodie!! Looks so dope 👌 🙌
What do you think of the K2 excavator?
Capita for the win TJ man 🤙🏼. Yew!
The Mega Death is so sick
Got the mega mercury.
That tool is solid. You can go stupid fast with it ❤
Gremlin 🌱🍀🍏
Sleeper board, best board imo

What size should I get the mega death in? I’m 190lb and size 11 US boots
Do you think the capita slush slasher would be good in Japan?
How is “volume shifted” different from simply “wide”?
The difference is that boards labeled as volume shifted are meant to take surface area that would’ve been in the length of the board, and moved to the width. In other words, they’re meant to be ridden shorter and wider than “normal” boards. While any board can be made in a wide size for people with big feet, the length of those boards aren’t meant to be reduced. For bigger riders with big feet, volume shifted boards need to be even wider than their “normal” wide boards in order to have the same effect as a volume shifted board does for smaller riders with smaller feet.
How would you say the evil twin + does in powder or freeride?
At the end of the day it's a true twin, full camber snowboard with average width. It's not doing you any favors in powder. The 3BT will help a little compared to other twins, but nothing to write home about. It can hold its own for freeride, but is more of a mid flexing board so you can find the limits if you push it.
would love to try that mega death if you still have it
We can sort that out sometime this season. I'm riding it as a personal board so I'll have it
i’ll bring something for you to ride as well. fair trades only 👀
Ride Deep Fake over the megaoverpriceddeath any day.
Looking to get the gremlin.

I’ve had it since it was called the Hyper Kyarve in 2018. I like it!
