Thank you Avran. this review was lovely. AND SPOT ON.
too many boards to review over my last 10yrs
this is a truly directional quiver killing deck.
thank you :)
So you’re saying it’s steers off the rear foot? hey the good ride guy might get it right this time😂
Bought one last year late season, excited to try it out!
Awesome review, very informative…Just picked up this board and Im planning to pair it with some Union Atlas.
Ok. Back foot steering … Snappy… Powerful… Kinda like an OG Johan smoke? ‘98 I think? PS better explanation of the progressive MagnaTraction than is available anywhere on their website 👍🏼 I’m thinking the Peaceseeker is the more balanced/versatile banked slalom deck… but I would love to freak on this thing when Baker is firing❤
EPIC board. What did they change on the 23/24? That’s the one I have. Fun! Charges through chop and chunder. Great pop. Rails turns. Needs frequent waxing.
I’m a heavy front foot rider and have had a blast with this board. 155, 10 boot, on some cartel x’s. Going to try and use my back foot more to see if I notice the difference. Thanks!
So even those this drives more from the back it works just fine for you driving from the front?
@@StephenSt.Germain yes but I have noticed that it’s just way nicer in heavy powder with weight on the back
C3 is my favorite of Mervin boards. Not sure why these models don't sell like hot cakes they have so much power.
👀 Blake Paul’s board on the wall
Thanks for the review 😊🙂
Love your inputs man, this sounds like the perfect board for me! I’ve been riding the Battalion Fun Kunk as my first board for years, and as someone who lives in BC Canada I am deciding to get the Banked Country next. I’m 6’2 180lbs size 11.5 and thinking of getting the 163W or is it too big for my light weight?
For where you're riding I think it's a good size.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks for the reassurance i’m so glad you respond to comments, it incentivizes us to interact with your videos!
@@saccularSame stats as you and am aiming for a 160W after a 156 Orca.
How did it work out?
@@bimfred I found this board to be softer than advertised. You really feel the cruds and I honestly felt better riding the Jones Frontier 167W in varied conditions. That being said, it’s still a super fun board and really works out your legs!
Nice brothario. Real nice bro.
Between this and the Lib Rig, which is better suited for high speed hardpack/ice carving and bombing? I'm 195lbs, 5' 11" with a size 12 Vans Aura Pro on Now Select Pro with hard bushings, so definitely going wide. I'm ultimately looking for the more precise and stable between the two.
About the same honestly. This is more backfoot dominant though.
@@AngrySnowboarder solid, thank you.
Hey angry, any comments about the new model (early realease?) rumors have it that they softened it up and made it more approachable. been looking on grabing one new for 50% off !! (based in EU)
I’ll ride one in the future.
Hi Avran, thanks for sharing this review and all the other ones!!
What size would suit me better? I currently ride a Capita Kazu 157, bootsize 10US, weight 70kg. I'm looking at the Gnu Banked Country for freeriding and groomers.
Thanks in advance!
Grab that 59 or even 60w if you want a bit more width.
Fast reply! Thanks for dropping your knowledge!
What about pairing it with Bent Metal Cor Pro? Or just stick with the Union Atlas?🤘🏂
@@SirCamma 😂
Just wish Solomon would get rid of the horrid side cuts, and put something good on their boards. The Super 8 would be amazing with just a good radial side cut that was sharp.
Between the Banked Country and the Flagship, which one would you pick for a pow day? Thanks
If I had to, Flagship.
Can’t wait to watch this!
Can you do one for the gnu hyped?
I can do a lot of things.
So when You doing the Hyper? 😅
Best resort ripper for a 6'5 220lb guy with a 14 boot?
All arounder?
@@AngrySnowboarder carving, hard charging, side hits
I'd be looking at a Korua Cafe Racer, Ride Mtn Pig or Peace Seeker but probably more MTN Pig, Gnu Gremlin, Nidecker Smoke, and we'll go from there.
That is the most I've ever heard you talk about anything Mervin......
Then you clearly haven't been watching.
for high speed carving, side hits and powder sometimes whats better? Ride Deep Fake or the GNU banked
I'd go with the Deep Fake, it's a bit more versatile.
thanks I will try it this season!@@AngrySnowboarder
Hey Avran, thanks for that very clear unequivocal review 🤩🤟🏽
As an oldschool boy, I love so much carve when heavily steering with my back foot 👊🏼 do you think the Rossi XV might be comparable to that ? On a banked slalom which one do you think would roll the best from berm to berm ?
Thanks, Wad 🤙🏼
They changed the XV for this year and it's a whole new board. I haven't gotten on it yet.
And compared to the 2022 XV ? Because as far as I understood, both are damp rides that can bomb through. So, do the opposite flex patterns of the XV (i.e. XV has the nose harder than the tail and BC has the tail harder then the nose) will still allow it to be driven with the back foot without washing out the tail ? Or maybe it is just not comparable as the XV has been set up for very steep terrain with a washing tail to help changing edge 😅🤷🏻♂️…anyway thanks for all the great reports 🤟🏽
Sure.
hey! think this or the gremlin is better for variable conditions?
Gremlin is more versatile.
In your opinion, Which es better ?
The Banked Country or LIb Tech BRD.
More all around it's the BRD more deep pow, banked turns, and steep speed BC.
Crossed up between this and a Ultracraft. Thoughts? I’m a bigger dude with 11.5 boot.
More backfoot riding this, more front foot turn initiation Ultracraft.
Thanks man! That definitely fits my style more.
Is this anything like the Billy Goat? It's my favorite board of all time and I'm looking for replacing my Lib Tech T.Rice 164 with something a bit more freeride. Better carving abilities and charging. Where I find the T.Rice a bit lacking and the Billy Goat was great (but really hard to find in Europe when I needed it)
Sidecut and camber are different than the Billy Goat.
@@AngrySnowboarder I believe the last year or 2 the Billy Goat also had c3?
The sidecut is something special in this thing, but would it be a good option for what I'm looking for?
I think you'd enjoy it coming off a Billy Goat.
Not for low intermediate rider I guess
Correct.
Flight Attendant??
No, Gnu Banked Country. Title says that.
@@AngrySnowboarder You’re right. Massive difference 🙃
