@@mosteez6928I’ve never ridden a Battalion, but I believe their technology isn’t suited for icy slopes. At least that’s what I’ve gathered though others on the internet. Could be wrong?
Bought it largely to TJ's past reviews. Couldn't be happier and the reviews are spot on. This board helped me learn a couple of butter tricks and for whatever reason the spins feel easier on it (probably the spoon nose&tail). Overall, I haven't looked at my other boards since I got the ET...it's just such a fun board
Thoughts on this for a progressing beginner? I got back into snowboarding after 15 years and done a few recent trips on a new Salamon Sight. The 2023 Evil Twin looks epic and really keen to try 3BT on the groomers here in Australia
Great review TJ, I got super lucky and came up on a Evil Twin for a extremely good deal this season. Still learning how to ride it though but it’s definitely a dope board.
@@StevieD44 Amazon during the summer. They start blowing out last season items and when the season starts back, they go back up in price. Just keep an eye out. And of course always check your local shops too.
I got a bataleon funkink, similar but a tiny softer. Didn't like the fact that they don't hold an edge, they are a real pain if it gets steep and icy. Also, the 3bt after landing is less stable, so you're compromising forgiveness for stability
I think me and you ran into each other at Breckenridge when they opened up the park for the first day. Me and you had the same exact board! Love the evil twin just wish it would carve a little better:(
Yoooo!! I actually purchased some oyuki mitts and getting shipped, how you like em? I got the 3 in 1 cause I love having a liner. And another yoooo!! Those the new union atlas!? I’m still rockin the 2018 model and still love em, but getting the updated straps for em.
I'm looking to get this to complement my burton custom camber in order to have something more playful and forgiving while improving my switch and butters. Hope I'm not totally off.
Hey! Good review, have noticed that over the years it is more soft than it used to be, just wondering if you will have a review of the new bataleon evil twin pluss, is this going to replace the boss for the 2023 season?
Good freestyle board for someone just getting into it? Not necessarily going to be always in the park but want something other than my flight attendant on the runs some days.
Hey TJ, awesome reviews as always. I’ve got a suggestion for you, I’ld to know what you think about the Korua Otto if you manage to get one some day please.
Hey TJ! Wondering about a video you made a while back about spraying your board with a waterproof spray - do you still do that with your boards seeing as it was a success, or did it wear off too quickly to be worth it? Wondering as I was getting frustrated with wet snow sticking to my board recently!
Hey TJ, awesome review! I Wonder what would U recommend? The new rome artifact (with the Double kick ) vs. Bataleon evil twin? Let me know your thoughts , Cheers :-)
@@michaeltrombatore123 height matters because your stance width. The reference stance markings on a snowboard is where the board manufactures designed the bindings to go for optimal performance.
@@headreddedstepchild6177 Correct,. didn't know if should get into stance width unless your height to weight ratio is unique. I get into the whole ref stance discussion a lot with people and it's not very conclusive. One argument I hear is that is why there are other holes so there's flexibility and the deviation from what we hear as "optimal" is very minimal. It also depends on how the person rides. My 154 Capita Asymmulator has a crazy wide ref stance of around 23 inches! The other sizes do not deviate much from that. That is crazy wide by today's standards. Only people over 6 foot tall would typically ride that board based on the ref stance. But others ride the board out of ref and still enjoy themselves because they can. The company allows them to by putting other holes there otherwise there would be one set of four holes at ref and that's it.
I know this is a year old review, but did anyone have a chance to test the new Evil Twin+ for the 2023 season last year? I love my Evil Twin, but would love to see if the + is a bit more aggressive.
2:38 I really want to learn how to do this. Like changing edge to edge super fast, but I always fall if I do too fast. Is there a term for this kind of move? I'm trying to search it on youtube for guides.
Hey TJ, I have a question for you! I’m a larger rider (6’4” and 220 lbs). I’m thinking of getting the bataleon Stallion in a 167. I’m a relatively advanced rider looking to improve my skills all around. I want something that’s good for going fast, carving, but also being somewhat playful for jibbing around and hitting side hits and jumps. What are your thoughts?
167 gonna have a great edge hold for you but may be a bit of a big plank for jibbing, im. 6’3” 200lbs on a 159 for my park board, but also consider that bataleon is positive camber only so you could maybe afford to loose 2-3cm if you want some more agility for jibbing
Hey! I need some help with sizing, my height is 172cm, shoe size US10 (burton and Adidas so good shrink technologie) and my weight is because of working out relatively high with 80kg. I’m planning to get the bataleon evil twin and thought that 154 cm would be great but I read that because of the 3BT a downsize of 3 or 4 cm should be good. Any suggestions?
definitely don't downsize because of 3BT, it still rides just like a regular snowboard but with the benefit of 3BT (catch free, quick edge to edge transition, etc). At our weight you could ride the 154 but it will be pretty playful and pressable, you could definitely ride the 157 as well if you want something a little more sturdy for the resort. Depends on your level of riding and what you want to progress with. Hope that helps!
@@BoardArchive thank you so much! I want to learn presses and butters all over the mountain so I think I go with the 154! Thank you and happy shredding :)
On point as always TJ - as a gear nerd, I can never get enough of your content 🧐
Oh hi 🥔🥔
This was my favorite board this season. I felt super stable everywhere I took it.
I love the ET
Did it do well on icy days ?
@@mosteez6928I’ve never ridden a Battalion, but I believe their technology isn’t suited for icy slopes. At least that’s what I’ve gathered though others on the internet. Could be wrong?
I can never get tired of watching TJ's riding style
I've ridden evil twin today, it was great! Even though i'm not very good, this bad guy delivers tons of fun
love this board, my 2020 has been very good to me. as someone getting back into snowboarding after a years-long break, the 3bt helps a lot.
So true... Swtiched to Evil Twin this year... At first it felt weird but 3bt really rocks... Love it !

One year later are you still happy with it? I read they snap or delaminate sometimes. How is yours been doing?
Always great reviews. I never trust a review without mentioning the cons/weaknesses. TJ has a nice way of doing that without sounding negative.
Great review! Based on TJ advice I got this board and it's completely insane. Best board I've ever ridden
Within 4 hours you went out and bought it? Crazy
@@brandonpearson1111 no, it was after some of the latest Q&A. I have been thinking about this board for a long time. TJ adviced the optimal size
Thanks TJ! I am looking pretty hard at the Arbor Cask. I would love to see you do an in-depth review!!

@@WorkingClassActive thanks!
did you have issues with the top sheet paint chipping off?
@@Seanmilne22 There has been a little bit of the top sheet peeling from getting hit but it isn’t terrible.
I went and bought this board but the last year model and love it! Thanks TJ!
I have the 156 wide size of the 2017/18 version of this board, will probably not be able to get a different board ever again. It’s that dope!!!
I wanted to love it but I just found with the lifted edges it didn’t hold it’s edge how I like. Glad that people do like it though 👌
Ya I haven't ridden a bataleon, but always wondered about that tech and edge hold.
I picked one up at the beginning of the season, then injured my ankle, but finally am able to rip again and it is a pure joy to shred on!
love your videos man! first year learning to snowboard and a lot of your videos are helping me decide the direction i want to go with it! keep it up
I bought this board like a month ago and am riding it for the first time today I’ve been waiting for a good review on it! Keep up the great work!!
any issues with the top sheet graphics chipping off?
I just received my new Evil Twin. Thanks for all the awesome content! Now all I need is ur logo sticker merch on the nose!
looking forward to getting this board this season!
Dude this board is so sweet!!! Definitely would love to get my hands on this board. Keep coming back to check out your review and look at it
Very good taste with the music 😎
I got a bataleon funkink, similar but a tiny softer. Didn't like the fact that they don't hold an edge, they are a real pain if it gets steep and icy. Also, the 3bt after landing is less stable, so you're compromising forgiveness for stability
Can you also review the Bataleon Global Warmer? I'm thinking of getting it, it's almost like a volume shifted board if you look at their 153W
I think me and you ran into each other at Breckenridge when they opened up the park for the first day. Me and you had the same exact board! Love the evil twin just wish it would carve a little better:(
dude this board is so perfect for me
Evil twin vs Whatever. Whats the difference and advantage between the two?
love this video just ordered one! thanks man cant wait to shred it like you!
Yoooo!! I actually purchased some oyuki mitts and getting shipped, how you like em? I got the 3 in 1 cause I love having a liner. And another yoooo!! Those the new union atlas!? I’m still rockin the 2018 model and still love em, but getting the updated straps for em.
I got the 2019 evil twin and I love it!! TJ great video man, can you review the global warmer as well?
It wouldn’t be a snowboard season if tj didn’t get the evil twin out for park laps
Right such a classic
Awesome review man. Love the new style of your videos, evil twin looks slick too. Yew. 🤙🏼
I'm looking to get this to complement my burton custom camber in order to have something more playful and forgiving while improving my switch and butters. Hope I'm not totally off.
Looks like the 156W would be a nice fit. Really narrowed it down to the ET, TwinPig and Lib Tech Box-Knife. Decisions, decisions.
What board did you end up going with, I'm in the same situation as you
Hi TJ! I was looking at your bindings you showed but couldn't quite make them out. If you don't mind me asking, what are your binding degrees set too?
Hi TJ. Can you please review the Nidecker Play? Many thanks.
hey TJ i'm wondering what would be the Lobster equivalent of this board? The halldor pro seems too stiff and more like the boss perhaps?
Dude that backside lip was nasty at the end. Thanks for the review! I’ll definitely look into this board. Any binding recommendations?
TJ how tall are you? I’m 5’8 and usually ride a 152 but wanted to see how you feel about a 154.
Great video as always

you the man TJ!!! Nice back lip

Best board reviews out there 👊🏻
Yo Tj would you say the 2020 evil twin was the same as this one , flex wise ? Softer side of medium? Sick vid man
Any differences between this years and the older models? Heard it's lighter? Cheers
Please do a Bataleon the one review can’t find anything anywhere on it and looks like a banging board
Hey TJ! Wondering about a video you made a while back about spraying your board with a waterproof spray - do you still do that with your boards seeing as it was a success, or did it wear off too quickly to be worth it? Wondering as I was getting frustrated with wet snow sticking to my board recently!
hey TJ! do you think The Boss is a bit more "all mountain" than the Evil Twin?
yes it will offer a little more stability that will help for all-mtn and higher speed type riding
Whats up TJ!
Awesome review, I'd like to give evil twin a try now )
How do you like atlas bindings for park riding comparing to stratas?
I need this board but it's sold out everywhere I see it! Help!!
Hey man have you rode the bataleon boss? Keen to hear your thoughts ?
Awesome review TJ!
Id like to try that board.
What a sick 360 at 0:48. Is there a name for this kind of frontside 360 specifically?
Off the toes fs 3 or alley oop 3 🤘🏼
Hey. Thanks for the video. Do you use a wide board or normal one? (I’m considering buying one but my shoes is us11)
Hey TJ, awesome review! I Wonder what would U recommend? The new rome artifact (with the Double kick ) vs. Bataleon evil twin? Let me know your thoughts , Cheers :-)
Wish u mentioned what sort (flex ) bindings and boots would go Well with the Evil Twin. Can u let us know pls??? Thanks :)
I think something like the Union Strata would go great with it, and I like to run a mid flex boot but you could go softer
@@BoardArchive thanks. I ve been searching about Evil Twin for a few weeks. When I saw your video, it was perfect timing !
@@BoardArchive what binding angle and stance width would be good for freestyle/park riding???
Can you give me your opinion on the Lobster Eiki Pro model compared to the Evil Twin or the boss? thanks
What size do you ride and how tall are you TJ ? 😁
The board says 154 in the video. He is usually a 150 lbs and 5 10 tho height doesn't matter too much, if at all, for board size.

yoo what bindings are those? cant seem to find the strata with that design anywhere
Union Kazu Atlas
@@cw4115 thank you my guy
Is it ok to switch up the direction of bindings?
Been riding a disaster for about 3 years now. I think I’m gonna ride my disaster this season then this will be my next board next year
Is the Evil Twin solid at high speeds? I'm looking for a board that I can carve blacks with, then hit the park next run. Keep it up!!
05:00 thank me later
What the name of the song!? Its relaxing!!!
don't understand-dylan sitts
Took me a min to find.
Have you ever thought of comparing it to the boss?
Am I too big for this board? 6'1 250lbs? Size 11 boot.
Hi TJ what size of hoodie do you wear?
It's game time
How does this compare to Rome agent in terms of stability, speed and butters?
Hi , how does the new 2021 Bataleon Funkink compare to evil twin. Are they similar?
Hey TJ, what musical track are you using in this video?
I know this is a year old review, but did anyone have a chance to test the new Evil Twin+ for the 2023 season last year? I love my Evil Twin, but would love to see if the + is a bit more aggressive.
What binding do you like on the board
How does this compare to the Lobster park boards?
the transition at 2:45 was clean
How tall are you TJ? I saw that you use a 154 evil twin
Yo, have you stopped doing the live q&a's? Bored shitless here in England,
2:38 I really want to learn how to do this. Like changing edge to edge super fast, but I always fall if I do too fast. Is there a term for this kind of move? I'm trying to search it on youtube for guides.
carving?
dang i just got home from breck !
Love my evil twin 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Im a beginner, should I go for disaster or evil twin for freestyle/park?
I think the softer flex on the Disaster will make learning easier for you
Guys, will evil twin 21 be comfortable for flat freestyle or buttering?
Is it anought soft for this things?
always tuned.
The previous year's graphics was much gnarlier.
Tj whats up bro.
that camera resolution thooooooo
tj review the signal park pro 2021 plzzz
В широкой версии 159 можно даже и карвить😁
I have the same board 😂😂
I bet a lot of people do. LMAO
