we ended up with the Formula Rocker for my son for his first board... he went 3 days last season but this season he has his own deck. mountains are opening here so we hope to get it to the hill very soon for our first day. Thanks for this video and the rest of the channel! Cheers
Honestly speaking, no one should ever buy a beginner board. Rent if you are unsure but don't ever waste your money on beginner boards. Only purchase the board that you want your abilities to get too and really like. It might challenge you initially but you will level up faster than what people might make you believe. You will outgrow a beginner after than you think. I have regretfully experienced that multiple times with motorcycles, snowboards so warning others to not waste their money 😄
Many thanks for tje explanation. As a beginner I would like to know what do you think about the " Burton step on" and what about them applied to those boards especially the Capita and Rome. Many thanks
Wondering if I could get some help/advice? I’m wanna get back into snowboarding ( I use to when I was a bit younger ) now I’m turning 30 this year and was looking to get some info on board sizing. So based on my weight and shoe size ( about 215 and 11.5 shoe size my recommended board size is 161w. I mostly agree on the recommendation but I’m a little on the shorter end ( around 5’8” ) and was wondering is a 161w is the right size board. I’ve talked to other people and I keep getting a mixture. Some telling me that you have better control with a smaller board like a 157w. Just tryna get some advice especially now I can afford to buy a decent set up. Thanks in advance! Also any tips on bindings and boots as well helps a lot!
I'm not a beginner I'm a beginagainer been a few years .but I could get down the mountain before. I bought a forum youngblood second hand is this the wrong or right board for me ,do you think
I'm a dad getting his kids into snowboarding. Any recommendations for board/boots/bindings for an 11 year old going into his third season? He's 5'2" and about 115 lbs.
I saw you have been on a few bataleon boards, I have a party wave and noticed that by about halfway through a day on a fresh wax it slows down and by the end of the day it it feels like I’m barely moving. Is this a problem you have seen, do you have a specific wax you would recommend to stop this? By the way I use blue bird blue wax and all my friends have switched to it because they love it so much.
Is dancehaul a beginner board? I borrowed a 152 dancehaul from a friend last year and I loved every second on it and felt completely in control. I've gone several times over the last few years but i'm not very confident so I still feel like a beginner. I was considering buying my own this year finally and going with that one but I wanted to look into other boards first so I didn't rush into anything. I'm 5'9 200lbs for reference. I'm in the gym so that weight is on the up right now but will go back down.
@@AnonymousBoarderi dont see torsional flex being a great thing fpr beginners trying to work their edges out and linking turns as being a good starter board but im coming from a wakeboard background so that might be why.
@@Bad_Riders Usually, softer torsional flex allows for easier independent steering of feet. Easier to pedal/pressure edge and therefore steer with front foot. Makes more sense intuitively for sideslipping and slower speed riding, a phase you may have skipped because wakeboarding

It's fun watching TJ ride while hearing about beginner stuff 🤜🤛
Love how you put the prices in there too. Great video.
Hi TJ! Are you able to piece out a list of top 5 low-mid-Intermediate do-it-all snowboards please!🙏🏻
Would like some tips for low-mid-Intermediate do-it-all snowboards as well!
Dude the white hoodie looks crazy…
My thought exactly, when can we pick one up TJ???

I bought capita OSl but I can only do falling leaves is this too advanced?
While this may be good advice for snowboards, I whole heartedly disagree about motorcycles. Beginners should always start on smaller bikes
@@Asher104
Yeah, but why did you bring up motorcycling?
Many thanks for tje explanation. As a beginner I would like to know what do you think about the " Burton step on" and what about them applied to those boards especially the Capita and Rome. Many thanks
Is Salomon Prospect hybrid good for beginners? I tried it once and find it very heavy.

Thank you
What size board and snowboard do you recommend for a beginner which is 5’6 250 pounds? Thank you for your time.

Union force classic

I think he’s ready for a motorcycle
I’m 13 5'10 135 pounds😊

Nice advice, definitely beginner tricks 😉
Is the GNU Money good for a beginner snowboarder from the East Coast
I saw you have been on a few bataleon boards, I have a party wave and noticed that by about halfway through a day on a fresh wax it slows down and by the end of the day it it feels like I’m barely moving.

I don’t know if the party wave has a sintered base, but you might not be putting enough wax on
your and kevs video last year helped me buy my first board, i got the gnu the finest
how you doing on it? I am looking for my first board too!!
First snowboard, should I get the rome mechanic or arbor formula and why
I learned from scratch on a formula last season, it handles like a dream.
Have you ever ridden the Rome stale fish 2023?? Any comments
Can you please review womens boards as well
quality reviews!
I'm not a beginner. But I like to ride beginer boards.
Dancehaul needs to be on this list

The nose press on the capita was steasy!
Nonsense...just get the nitro beast, black snowboard of death, custom X , k2 alchemist or the jones carbon flagship.
golden orca or megadeth fo sho
Pathfinder is a beginner board? Interesting I always saw that one is a beginner/intermediate park board
Yeah, it can be both. This list is solid. Literally every board I have recommended for pure beginners to start out with.
