Thanks for the review! I love the ending with similar boards and bindings suggestions.
I have this bad boy on my wall looking at me since summer when I bought it, can’t wait to finally ride it on Sunday!
Coming from a 6 year old Burton Process, I think the pop will be awesome in the Merc.
Thanks for the great review!
Had this sled a couple seaaons ago and switched to a Rossi Jib Elite because of that slow speed twitch. I just didn't get along with it. But it was a beauty otherwise. This review is effing spot on. Capita's textured bases are unreal, best in the industry far as I can tell. Kinetic energy was there underfoot, more reactive and not quite as damp and stable as the Jib Elite but still solid. But gawddammmm the speed was ridiculously awesomated. Only my Stratos has a similar speed but I think the Merc still took the title. For any dudes curious I had it paired with Cartel X's and that was sick, but I think a Bataleon binding woulda been even better for some sweet dampening.
thanks for this review i love watching your videos !
an idea for a future top 5 video i would love to see is 'top 5 old school boards' maybe boards they dont make any more which you remember from back in the old school days :D that would be a really fun interesting video !
anyway thanks for the consistent content and helping the snowboarders of the internet keep shredding
NO! I'm not going to go live in the past.
@@AngrySnowboarderSlim Whitman disagrees.
Love this board. Great for everything. Very energetic.
I have the predecessor to the Mercury, the Totally FK’n Awesome. Mine is light (back in the day they used the higher end bamboo core). Got on it again last winter and the thing I noticed is how easy it is to ride compared to the fully cambered boards I have been on recently. It really takes the mental load off so you can concentrate on your riding more. The twitch is real. You just need to get used to it. You don’t have the beautiful carves of a cambered board, or the pop, but it felt super comfortable and just made me more confident riding hard. What’s interesting is that whereas a cambered board wants to lock you into a fixed arc, this sidecut allows you to tighten up or lengthen out your carves without thinking, which makes it really manoeuvrable on the fly, like if you’re lining up a takeoff in choppy snow. Capita really discovered some secret sauce with this shape, and it’s no wonder so many pros are still riding it. A true classic.
Mercury always has the nicest graphics. Thanks for review
Spring Break is angry!
Nicest lack of graphics maybe.
@@gpaull2 Exactly why I love it
“ Add a spoiler to my snowboard” I’m definitely buying it now.
Hi, great review and thanks for your effort. Sounds really great to do it all. I will wait if you drop a review of the mega merc to take my choice. But at the moment I think the normal Mercury will be my choice for a all day board.
hey hey, thanks for your no BS approach. it’s refreshing. 5’7”, 170lb lower level intermediate rider here looking to progress. i’ve been frustrated/intimidated by tracked out cruddy mid-afternoon conditions at crowded resorts. some of this is skill, some might be my gear. your reviews have led me to jones frontier, ride shadowban, and this mercury. im good on blue groomers, want to progress to some steeper terrain, perhaps some easier bowls in colorado, and get better at riding the cruddy stuff. i don’t want to bite off more than i can chew with board selection. advice?
Shadowban
Big fan of brands expanding their size ranges to create more unisex boards. As much as i do like my lady boards, its nice to be able to make more informed decisions and the unisex boards tend to have a lot more reviews and information out there about them.
Wish they’d do this for boots, finding a men’s 6.5 is difficult
@@sound7846try women's 8.5
It's a great allmountain Snowboard not a freestyle imo. It is for someone who likes to ride piste, powder, hit some park occasionaly, jumps and wants to have one board. Death grip feels catchy when flat basing, board wants to stay on adge all the time but on the other hand grips well on hard and icy snow. The only problem with this board is since it does everything well, the other boards in your quiver stop making any sens.
I bought one because of this review and it’s a 🎉cking tree hit side pow demon can’t ride the thing without dropping someone’s jaw. Someone said you’ll pass skiers on cat tracks; confirmed.
Every capita mercury in the Denver area marketplace right now is up for sale for being “too much board” 👹👹
can we get a review the spring break resort twin please thinking about grabbing it
It’s so much harder to find boards in the uk for a decent price since brexit. I’m in Austria at the moment and can see one of these in my size at a local shop for 500eur. Seems like a decent price. I’ve ridden a park board for years but looking for something much faster and more all mountain.
Thanks for the review! How would you compare it to the Korua Otto? Trying to pick a board to progress with side-hits and carving while not constantly fighting with it.
Softer, less aggressive, easier to engage snap.
what is the overhaul that they did?
Great review! I’m upgrading as an intermediate rider here in the northeast and am trying to decide between the DOA and the Merc. I’m not really a park guy, more into cruising groomers and floating in and out of the glades. Is the Merc more that type of board when compared to the DOA? Thanks man and keep up the great content!
Yes.
@@AngrySnowboarder This would be my first Capita (coming from Burton). I’m currently riding a 154 which the Merc doesn’t have. Would upping to a 157 be a huge difference? I could do 155 I guess which is close enough.
Big fan, appreciate the review. Stuck in between the 158W + 160W and hoping for some guidance; 6ft tall and 195-200 lbs + 11.5 boot. I've read some comments from owners of this board recommending sizing down a bit due to the width already associated. Appreciate any help!
Grab the 60 and go shred.
Whats up Angry Snowboarder! I Live in Alberta Canada where conditions can very between great powder days to ran through groomers which is why iv'e always stuck to an all mountain board. Im an advanced rider who enjoys bombing the hill as well as finding side hits, ripping through trees and surfing through powder on the days it's there! I currently have a 2021 Salomon assassin 158W which I really do love. I think the one thing the board is lacking for my specific riding style is the lack of energy the board has, it knocks everything out of the park but im looking for a little bit better edge hold without sacrificing too much on the playful side. The mercury is definitely a board I have been considering but I would love to hear your opinion! I do play around in the park here and there but its not a focal point of my riding, although I hit the jumps from time to time. Im 6 feet tall 160 lbs with a 10.5 boot size and medium Salomon bindings. Looking forward to your'e feedback!
It's a step up from the Assassin that's for sure.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks for letting me know! What size would you recommend for my height (6ft) and weight (160lbs)? and are there any other boards you recommend in this range of board?
Does the 24’ model of the k2 antidote change from the 23’ model? Found a 61w for sale and I’m kinda digging it.
Then buy it.
Thanks for the great review. I am really close to buy this one, i am still thinking about the super DOA as well. I am 200 pounds and a size 12, will the 160W be big enought for me? Also how does this compare to the Super DOA, cant really find any comparing these two boards.
It's not as light due to the construction, it's a directional twin, it doesn't have the same rebound due to the core components. With a size 12 you're definitely going to need a wide.
Hey love the reviews brother. Interested in getting this board. I'm 5'5 and 185lbs what size do you recommend? Size 9 boot. I'm coming from a 147 warpig and 153 libtech cold brew
55 if you want it more playful 57 for more all mountain and going fast.
Hey Angry, found your channel today, awesome reviews btw!
Quick question: Considering this board or the Ride deep fake in 155, US 9,5 and 74KG.
Going fast on blue's and reds are no problem, but like to chill sometimes as well. Looking for smth to go for side hits + resort riding, went snowboarding last weekend rocking my old 2008 Ride Agenda after 6 years break and got hooked again, but want to upgrade while end of season sales are on, cheers thank you in advance.
Mercury.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thank you!
hey love the reviews,
just a quick question i love to play around on groomers no trees for me they are to sturdy and wont flinch!
side jumps in and out just fooling around mid speed with the fam is a blast! but what really makes my hard pound is bombing down hard carving etc i get up 65 mph on my 2010 JP Walker stepchield board! undoubtedly every board will be an upgrade.
Looping for something that can do it all or as close as it gets.
i whas looking at the jones mauntain twin but i am not sure it can take the speed can you give me some advice on what the mercury is about compared to the jones or are there better conteders for me.
thanx and all the best from europe! netherlands?.
They can both take speed.
How does this compare to Burton Custom?
Im a returning boarder looking for a new board, for all mountain. Mainly going to ride around resorts, not too much speed, like to play a bit but nothing too technical. More like smaller natural jumps and stuff like that. A bit of off piste.
My old boards were all camber (only choice back then) but open to the new stuff.
Custom is a set of basic ass white New Balances that is mediocre in everything it does. Do you like mediocrity?
Ehy i cant decide from goliath and mercury. In case of the mercury inshould get the 157 or 159? Im 1.70 tall and 90kg is a problem is the mercury max range 87 the 157
Thanks for your great reviews. I tried last year’s Mercury and l thought it was pretty solid. I’m looking to upgrade from a 10 yr old Burton Process and would love to hear your recommendations. I’m 6 1, 190 lb, 11.5 boots. I mostly ride groomers, like side hits, trees and pow whenever possible. I’d like to improve switch riding and add some other tricks. Thanks
I’d recommend trying out the burton process!
57w mercury wouldn't be a bad option, maybe a ride Shadowban, or a Yes Typo.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks. Only hearing great things about the Shadowban. Any bindings recommendation?
There's literally 3 binding recommendations on the Shadowban review. @@75endi
@@AngrySnowboarder In the end, Father Xmas brought me a Shadowban (160W) with Rome DOD. Rode for a week in France around New Year and loved it. Lots of fresh snow, it was really fun. Can't wait to go back in mid Feb. Thanks again for the recommendations.
hey avran, is the new force enough binding to drive the 24 kazu?
Yeah, but the Atlas would probably be better.
Hey Avran, I'm considering picking one of these up this season. I'm a 40 year old rad-dad living in the Midwest that will be cruising all over the resort. What size would you recommend? I'm 195lbs with a size 11 boot. At what point would you consider going to a wide?
Go with the wide, it'll make you a radder dad when you don't boot out or stomp a landing. I'd say probably want something in the 157 to 162ish range.
Current daily driver is Shadowban 157. Love the board, but tend to boot out on deeper carves. Considering the Merc 156W, but at 170-180 lb I'm near the top of Capita's reommended weight range for that size. Do you think the 156W would suffice or should I go for the 158W? Othe suggestions welcome as well.
I’d go 58w
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks
Is the Death Grip similar across the other boards as far as slow speed goes? Does that Resort Twin feel the same?
It's different on every board based on the flex, sidecut, and camber profile.
Thanks for this review! Do you think it changed a lot since the last 4 years?
Go watch the previous reviews and see for yourself.
thanks for quick reply
hey I'm about an early intermediate and want an all mnt board that can handle powder. I was debating between this and the t rice pro. I feel like this is a better board but the t rice is a little more beginner and may be easier to handle? I was thinking 157 since im 5'10 about 200lb and wear a size 10 boot. Any thoughts?
I know what I would pick and it wouldn't be the T. Ricky.
Great content - with no bullshit! Always on point! Love it.
Gonna make you really angry with some stupid questions:
A 38yo coming from skiing (advanced) would like to become a snowboarder.
I am 6,1 / 190-200lbs / 11us boots.
Ambitious Beginner with 7-8 riding days on a rental unknown snowboard. Can handle come safely come down a mountain until now on lower speeds, also some very small “jumps” - I mean really small.
Want to progress in the future. 1x year in mountains in Austria / Germany - out of season regularly indoor (10-15x per year).
Looking for an one and only snowboard to cover everything. Not necessarily park - all mountain, but mainly piste. Later with progress - between trees and all funny things.
Capita Mercury seems to be everything I am looking for, but too much for a beginner?
I don’t care about design. I need a board to fit to my current level with space to progress and not having to switch board after 1-2 years.
Which one would you give me on hand?
Rome Artifact Pro
Capita Mercury
Never Summer Proto Synthesis
Jones Mountain Twin
Or any other ?
Thank you man!!!
None of those. K2 gateway pop or rome warden.
Hey angry -- Just got a Rome Stalefish on your recommendation & loving it as my pow board, keeping my 2016 Rossi Onemag as an ice/rock board, but tempted by a cheap used 2023 Merc on craigslist, wondering how it stacks up to the old Onemag?
It's an upgrade.
@@AngrySnowboarder 🙏🤘
Hi, how do you compare Mercury and nitro team in terms of carving & turning? Will Mercury be much better in powder due to the rocket noise?
I'd rather ride the Mercury for all of that.
What size board did you ride? I'm 160lbs, what would you recommend? Thanks.
53 to 55 for you.
Split between the Merc and Alternator. After a board for side hits, carving and all mountain boosting (park days are over). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks heaps, loving the channel! 🙌🏻 🔥
Go with the Alternator.
How would you compare this board to something like the Jones Stratos. I am a pretty aggressive intermediate to advanced rider that rarely does park. Which would you recommend?
It’s a lot softer, engages a turn different, is more all mountain focused.
Hey Avran! I’m 6’0 tall and weight 210lb. The board specs says I should get the 160W, but I’m thinking in get the 158W, to have a more versatile all around board, specially for park. Do you think the 158W can handle my weight or should I go with the plank?
Easily!
Looking for a size suggestion. I’m a good intermediate rider, 170 to 175 lbs.i ride mountain freeride, not a park or rail guy. I’m 5’10 and a 9.5 size boot. I have Union force bindings in a medium. What size do you recommend? I already have the mega death in a 159, wanting a daily driver as well.
Get it in a 59.
Seems like I found my quiver. 6'2 185lbs 11-11.5 boot size. Picking up the select pro's based on your req. Do you think the 161 with a waist width of 26.1 would be wide enough for not too much toe and heel hang? Tyia
Depends on the boot.
Looking for a review of the jones frontier twenty twenty four
Nothings changed since the last review.
Thanks for the review. Deciding between the jones mountain twin and capita mercury for an all mountain kind of ride. Not too much park. Which would you prefer? Thanks again.
They're both great.
@@AngrySnowboarder okay thanks for the response
Hey Avran! I bought this board based on your review and some self researching. I am 6'2'', around 188 lbs, size 12, intermediate rider mostly riding groomers, a little bit of sidehits, trees and switch. I was trying to decide between 158W and 160W and in the end went for 160W. Was 158W a better option since the board is still in the return policy window? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Go ride.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.
Shadowban vs Merc, which do you prefer? Looking for a board that can charge the whole mountain but can be ridden laid back when I want to
I own a Shadowban.
I am stuck between Shadowban & Capita Mercury. What board is better for a rad dad that can cruise on the mountain but can turn on the gear when they want too?
Dealers choice.
Sounds very similar to the Springbreak Resort Twin on paper - anyone know of any significant differences that may change the feel/ride? Cheers
Resort Twin is closer to the Indoor than this.
Hey angry would nitro team bindings be a good choice?
100%
100 thanks!!
Looking for an upgrade from a Burton Process and torn between this and the new Ride Deep Fake that you seemed to really like. Well into intermediate and like to bomb groomers and some powder, no parks. How would this be for an upgrade?
Coming from a Process it's more approachable than the Deep Fake.
Would you recommend the Mercury, mega merc or something else for the east coast. (To replace my 2010 Custom X)
Yes.
How would you compare this to the Korua Otto?
Otto is a little stiffer from the front binding back through the tail and torsionally. Sidecut grips more aggressively in a carve as well.
Would you recommend this board or the new Salomon assassin pro for an all mountain board?
Im not sure where I'd feel the difference
This is better all around.
Indoor Survival review coming soon?
Technically everything is coming soon if you're not impatient.
How would you compare this and a transition finder?
This is softer, less damp, more snappy, grips different on edge, and has a more popsicle stick shape
Could you tell any difference between this model with the new core vs the ‘21 with the Panda?
Yes.
And what was it? Decently better? Thanks@@AngrySnowboarder
Thanks for the review! how do you see the burton cartel or cartel X over the union forces to pair with this beauty?? 😅 thanks!
Cartel X will probably be close to the Force.
Are you going to be reviewing the yes boards?
Eventually.
I’m planning to pair this board with the union Stratas. Hoping to dampen it a little. Are they a decent binding for this board? Plan on all mountain and occasional park (70/30).
I'd go with the Force over it for this board.
Right on. Thanks
Hey man,
I'm currently riding a 2019 mountain twin and looking for a new board.
So thing with more pop, better speed and better on a carve.
Do you think this would be an upgrade or would it be pretty similar?
What else would you recommend?
Other boards I'm interested in..
Bsod
Stratos
UMT
Mind expander / UME
Mega merc
Mega death
What do you think?
Kind of a lateral move to get this. Probably want to go with one of the beefier boards.
@@AngrySnowboarder cheers man
Which way would you go
Stratos
Umt
Ume
Mega merc
Mega death?
@@t0gden12 money isn't an issue Mega Death, realistically Mega Merc.
Outside of the graphic is this any different than last years model?
New base tune.
Hey 👋🏼 Thanks for a great review. You really helped me a lot to make the right choice. Would really appreciate if you help me with sizing mate.
I’m 182lbs, 5’9 and US9,5-10.
Another question. Will this board match with Nidecker bindings and Boots (Rifs)? Thanks a lot in advance
157-159
Thanks a lot! Do you thing this board match with Nidecker supermatic bindings?
You can do anything you want without needing my validation.
Which does better in pow Shadowban or Mercury ?
Equal.
Mercury or dynamo? for daily driver, side hit hitting,
Hard pack and choppy riding. Like Colorado’s current conditions?
Sure.
Do you suggest normal sizing? I am 5'10, 180lbs, size 10.5 boot. I normally ride between 156-158 but its 155 or 157 in this case (155 seems a bit small, unless the board is designed to size a bit down?).
57.
Was set on gettung a Ride Shadowban until i watch this. Im a 40 year old, love carving especially deep laid out carves on groomers. Do some park, medium kickers , some jibbing but looking to do some.more off piste freeriding this year and need soething that will be half decent in pow. From your reviews both will do the job and do it well.. Would you reccomend either board over the other?
I own a Shadowban, but this isn't a bad option either.
Can you set this one up to ride switch a decent bit? Like a directional twin?
It is a directional twin.
Is there any real difference in the tech for this year vs last year?@@AngrySnowboarder
@@jamesnicholas7078 they tweaked the base tune on it, I don't think that's enough to warrant going full pop on a new one if you can snag a last years.
Im in between picking up a mercury or a yes typo. both are on sale, I can safe an extra 100 on the typo. All mountain freestyle rider. I enjoy carving, side hits and also progressing my buttering skills. This season I rode an arbor west mark rocker but I want a slightly stiffer board with camber that holds an edge better. I'm 5'6 140lbs. which you going with? Also considered the wired directive but I worry how that does in powder if I bring it out west.
Get the typo.
I know you like the ride shadowband, how does it compare to the typo? Im thinking the shadowband floats better in the pow but is a bit harder to press. Being a lighter rider, I worry about buttering on the shadowband especially later in the day when I'm tired. I do plan to take this board out west which is why I want to board to be versatile. is the typo at least decent in moderate pow? thanks, the videos are top tier!@@AngrySnowboarder
To answer your question again, get the Typo.
Hey Angry, I’m almost certain I’m buying this board, but hear a lot about how it’s catchy and tough at slower speeds. I want something that can handle speed better than my Assassin, but don’t want to be in a tough spot if I’m having chill laps with my less experienced friends. Think this is too much board if I wanted to take it easy? (I’m probably right in the middle of intermediate, maybe early intermediate)
Your call not mine.
@@AngrySnowboarderfair! Just seems people give warnings about this thing all the time. Can’t hurt to give it a try.
@@jamesbailey9977 How did it turn out, is it still good at slow speeds?
@@emretopal1233 ended up demoing it and really really liked it. A bit of work at slow speeds but not a serious issue. Ended up going with the Burton Deep Thinker though. Just liked it more personally
Hey, looking for board size recommendation! I’m 5ft9, size 9, 84kg / 185lbs … would a 157 be okay or 159 better suited?
Depends on what you want it for. More all around with a freestyle use 57, more charging 59.
Hello What size snowboard do you recommend for a boot size 44. US 11? Weight 75kg, height 188cm. Wide or no Wide? 158W or 159
Go with the Wide.
Bataleon Astro Asym or Fullwrap? Which ones are better for Mercury?
I see that Fullwrap got Carbonhighback this year.
I'd go asym. you don't need a carbon high back for the mercury. -TC
there was no Carbonhigback in 22/23 Astro Fullwrap? Why did they change it? Now it's the same Rome Cleaver.
I've never had Asymwrap bindings.
I have a 2021 Mercury and love it but I'm looking for something a little more playful/softer to compliment it on days where I am groomer cruzing with the wife and generally don't want to hoon down but the mountain like this board likes to do. Im 6ft 180lbs riding mainly on the east coast if anyone has a good suggestions.
How soft do you want to go?
Softer than the mercury but not a complete wet noodle something that will hold up if i do decide to charge it for a run when the wife wants a break but can easily be pressed when I'm tailing her chilled descents on the mountain. Cheers @@AngrySnowboarder
Maybe a Rome Freaker or Agent, Ride Zero, K2 Medium.
thanks ill check these out@@AngrySnowboarder
@@AngrySnowboarderafter watching more reviews of yours would last years GNU Headspace be a good option for playful board that can send a run if needed to accompany the Mercury.
Mercury or Custom as an all mountain do it all board?
Mercury hands down
I already have a rasman, I found this board on sale for 370. Should i grab it or go for something else?
It's a different camber profile than the Rasman so it's going to ride more snappy from the tips. Kind of your call.
How does it compare to Korua Otto? Base, grip, response on ice, track and off-piste? Above all, I like to go down quickly and not suffer from the soles. Some trick but little
Sole? I have no clue what you're asking here this isn't a boot.
@@AngrySnowboarder base, sorry!
Compared to the TRS?
Softer, more forgiving, better snap that’s easier to engage, less grippy underfoot.
Been riding arbor rocker for a year. This or spring break twin? Just a middle aged dad and his 17 yo little brother
Take your pick.
In your opinion, this or the mega merc?
Sure.
Can I get an honest opinion of which all mountain board is better? Capita Mercury vs. Burton Custom Camber.
I’m 5’7 145lbs 8.5 Boot
Looking at the 150/154 Custom
150/153 Mercury
I ride mainly groomers and park, but wanted something that can ride powder/freeride style.
Mercury.
@@AngrySnowboarder May I ask what are the pros and cons of Mercury over the Custom? Thanks for your input
Hi i’m 8.5us, 66kg and 172cm what size do u reccomend???
50ish.
ride shadowban vs Capita Mercury ? question is in a all mountain/do all category
Either.
Hi, I am 177cm tall and weigh 93kg. What size would you recommend?
61 and up.
What's the minimum waist width if you have size 12 boots?
It's not about waist it's about insert width.
@@AngrySnowboarder So what kind of insert width are we talking for 12'ers?
About 26.5 give or take a little.
Are u gonna do a review on the Sickstick?
The Sickstick and Mercury have a little overlap but one is definitely more powder oriented.
I've got both the Sickstick & Mercury, they do overlap but the latter is more appropriate for resort runs under normal conditions I feel.
The Sickstick can carve incredibly on groomers, but it can be twitchy & definitely prefers the deep stuff.
What size would you recommend at 6ft3 210lbs boot size 10? 159 or 161?
59 for more playing around 61 for charging
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks for the fast reply! For mostly (euro) on-piste boarding, carving/bombing, lil powder on the side of the piste, rarely in the park, would you pick mercury, jones MT, or the resort twin? Watched your vids on those boards and mercury seems best for speed/bombing, jones little bit of everything and resort twin between mercury and JMT. Will be my only board for 7-14 days of boarding per year.
How would you describe how this board feels different riding compared to say a bataleon goliath?
Goliath is a little more damp and feels just a hair stiffer from outside the inserts through the middle. You also have different edge engagement because of the 3BT. The Mercury has a quicker edge bite and feels more secure on firm to icy snow.
@@AngrySnowboarder would you say the mercury, given its rocker structure at top and tail is also somewhat “forgiving” when edging errors occur?
I have been riding the b whatever 2019 model since it came out, and would like to change to something which is a bit faster and more responsive, while still being “forgiving” when one doesnt pay much attention, on flat runs etc.
The only thing to know is that at slower speeds the Mercury can feel a little twitchy on the sidecut for some people. This one I didn't feel as much as I have the previous versions.
@AVRAN do u rock a mullet?
Wade Boggs 86, Macgyver 91, Camaro Hair 89, and Kenny Powers 2015 have all been part of my haircuts over the years.
@@AngrySnowboardernot snowboard related at all, but fuck i forgot about Kenny powers and the plums. Such a good show.
thought I could see hair poking out the back.. Like a Tennessee waterfall@@Genericyoutuber425
Maybe he can do a reveal or something.. 100k viewers for sure 8^)@@Genericyoutuber425
But would you trade your shadowban for it?
Who cares what I would or wouldn't do.
Mercury or yes standard. My uses… all mtn, lite pow, slashing trees and small side hits. Please give an angry definitive answer! Yew
Mercury
@@AngrySnowboarder same question but add in the shadow ban. (I just stumbled on hat review)
the 158w is a big mountain dream machine and will destroy resorts of fat skier families, u can tell that board charges hard, is it the hardest charging board ever made ? a red and black bottom option would be ideal
You clearly have never ridden something real stiff for hard charging.
This or a Ride Shadowban for resort ripping? Flip a coin?
Bingo
why do people say that it is good in powder? it's not even slightly tapered
Because they know how to ride powder.
Capita Mercury or Rome Ravine? Groomers because mammoth/tahoe is far but when Im there I love to all mountain and travel around. Im not too much a freestyle dude but i do like hitting small rails, funboxes and small to meidum jumps
Probably the Mercury
Comment
thanks for the review! Unluckily, I see it after having ordered a snowboard. I am 5,9 and 200lbs - boots 11US. intermediate rider. purpose for all-mountain. I have ordered a 161 Mercury .... shall I keep it or would it kill me?
Go ride.
Av were the hell do i text you my address. Lolol i tried everything. Not too Desperate but would live the sticker pack or art of TC looking like bevis 😂 thanks brother
Do you not listen to the countless times we say info@angrysnowboarder.com
🤣@@AngrySnowboarder
At 6’1 180lbs size 11.5 boot I’m undecided between the 56w or 58w as my daily driver whats your thoughts?.
More freestyle or lower skill level 56w. For charging higher ability level 58w
Been riding a std uninc 59 last season and this season. Great board it’s def made me a better rider but it’s a beast and loves to go fast. So I’m thinking 56w mercury for casual riding and some park. Thanks always appreciate your feedback
