@SearchofSnowboarding i was stuck deciding if I wanted a true twin over another directional twin, but I think I'd definitely be going with the assassin. I just only started riding in the park last season and am still riding all over the mountain. Plus the new top sheet is siiiick. Also, unrelated question, will you be checking out the new union atlas SO bindings when they release?
Need help deciding between an assassin pro and the mega death. Looking for an all mountain shredder. What would you recommend? I’m having a hard time deciding.
I like Salomon for boards, bindings and boots. Currently on a super 8 pro. Very under publicised and rarely mentioned, it's a fantastic board. (For reference, I also currently have a Super pig, Gremlin and Orca.)
@@gregsmith7821 I don't think so, they've got a lot of sick US riders and plenty of notice in the states, there are plenty of brands that aren't as dialed on UA-cam as they could be though
@SearchofSnowboarding Thank you food for thought, as I often wonder why they get left out. I was very suprised and pleased to see this review. Well done.👍
I have the same thought. Super 8 pro is an awesome board. It is fast, damp but not overly stiff. It can carve so hard. I like their shadow fit bindings. Down side to me personally is I ride posi posi, it is hard to adjust the highback rotation and forward lean.
I’ve been trying to pick between the normal assassin and pro. i like to occasionally charger groomers but i also like finding side hits and trying to spin off of them. some park feature: but mainly 50/50 and board sliding. but mainly jump focused in the park. any thoughts or opinions are welcome !!!!
@ that’s definitely what i was thinking since salomon’s boards are typically softer. and they had an assassin pro at my local shop and i thought it wasn’t as stiff as some other pro models
Hey man, thank you for the nice review and clearing up the differences of these four. I am in between the Salomon Assassin and the capita resort twin. Both in a 156 - which one would you choose as an all mountain freestyle do it all kind of thing? That‘s a mouth full 😂 in the end a daily driver with all mountain freestyle in mind. I was always super interested in a Salomon Assassin and this year it seems to be the best version ever.
Just grabbed a 56 Assassin pro. I am 190 lbs size 8.5 boot and barely 5’8. You think it will be fine or would you size up to the 159? This is for my daily resort cruiser do everything so I’m afraid the 59 will be too big.
Any difference between them how they bite to icy hard pack? Edge hold used to be Assassin's clear weak point but I've understood this new model performs better in that sense?
pros: less swing weight for spins, more easy to tweak and move around in the air also easier to get in the air or get bigger air in the first place. to some degree less tiring to ride in good terrain. floats better in powder. pro/con: quicker response which can make it twitchy at high speed cons: less damp i.e. can get bucked around by uneven terrain esp. if its a stiff board. feels less stable/planted at high speed. more expensive
Can’t believe this video came out a day after I ordered my huck knife pro. It’s whatever though still stoked to try it out on some natural kickers
Ive been literally comparing these two boards and found it hard to make a decision. What perfect timing
Awesome, I thought it had been a confusing choice for a lot of people. So what you going for?

@@ChanBan Yeah that sounds like a good decision for you, and yes 100% as soon as I can get my hands on the SO

Sweet quiver, yeah that's funny how you don't hear about the Super 8 much
@@SearchofSnowboarding Genuine question: Could it be that Salomon isn't that big in the sates but the US dominates media such as youtube?

If you're considering it, definitely just go with the Pro, it's a better board and sometimes the standard can feel too soft for people

As you can tell i'm not a park rider 😅
I'd be interested to know some opinions on their popster core milling. Is it marketing or does it actually create more pop and better ride?
From my experience they are super poppy, I don't think they would take the effort of core milling if it didn't help
Anyone have any thoughts about the Salomon Frontier?
What's the advantage of a lighter board? Also the cons?
pros: less swing weight for spins, more easy to tweak and move around in the air also easier to get in the air or get bigger air in the first place. to some degree less tiring to ride in good terrain. floats better in powder.
pro/con: quicker response which can make it twitchy at high speed
cons: less damp i.e. can get bucked around by uneven terrain esp. if its a stiff board. feels less stable/planted at high speed. more expensive
Never rode a Salomon but they always looked really sick.
They are. I've been riding them for years.
Love my HK. Got HKP in addition to my HK this year. Can't wait to hit the slope this weekend!
They're super fun!
Hey can you please give me a snowboard I am just trying to start snowboarding I love snowboard
