Slash ATV is a good competitor. So is the Arbor Wasteland Camber with no lift in the sides. Nitro Alternator (review coming) is great too. There are many Lib and Gnu boards with only a passive bent in the middle and camber from tip to tail with little to no early rise like the E-Jack, Dynamo, Antigravity, Banked Country and others. They have the same full camber feel. If you want to get into it more hit me here so I can find out more about you and make better recommendations. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/

Need your boot size, weight and height? Also what make, model, size and year board do you ride now and how do you like it?

@@thegoodridesnow i have 75 kg, 171cm (5’7), and 41 euro boots. :)

Ok. Now answer the second question and I'll help ya.

@@thegoodridesnow gnu antigravity 2022. :)

The board i ride now is capita doa 150 and is perfect for me. Do you think gnu antigravity 153 will be to big?:)

They must have added the size since I reviewed it. That's great.

Thanks.

Thanks! Don't get any binding with mini-disc for the Standard. It has set back inserts like I talk about at 7:09 - No SetBack Inserts. Instead Union Force with full size discs would be excellent for that board.

Pretty different rides. That old Landlord was unique and while this has similar specs and looks the same it didn't feel the same. The Landlord had such a unique turning experience that it's hard to think of a similar board.

Great to hear its compatible and you have adjustable response back. Cheers!

So for bindings go Force. I think that would be best. So not only do they work with set back inserts but you can slide them to adjust your stance width. They also do better with side hits/jumps than the Atlas because of the softer foam. What make/model/size/year board do you ride now and how does it fit you?

Should be coming in less than a week but love the new set back inserts. Like the Crane, with this new construction, it's flirting with being too light/bucky/chattery but I still really and its going to be a favorite.

Much easier for sure but I like how the Indoor Survival has more pop near the tip and tail.

Me too.

I've tested a lot of their line and I'm pretty impressed with this brand.

Glad you like it. We liked it smaller but it's all about personal preference so you might have the right size. If you get to demo a 153, thought, it would be great to hear your take.

Yeah, I never cared too much about how a board flexes in studio vs. talking about how it rides on snow. I should have, though, and will do in the future. One thing, though, @KostyaSanSnowboarding. Please keep it constructive but friendly if you plan to comment here again.

Agreed. I rode the old Fish with camber and that was really fun. Burton just didn't have it for demo. It's hard to come by the late release/Mine77 products though.

Otto is more stiff, much more directional and has much more set back on board for pow. This is much more centered and much more playful.

Thanks! So rode the 158 and liked it way better for my specs. Cant find the review and footage anywhere...fuck!...sorry. 6000s is coming and so is the Flagship Pro but its not coming next. Soon though.

Thanks for your take

Good question. More similar for sure but each would still have their own personalities with different flexes and sidecuts.

A big thanks right back atcha!

Right on. That will be a lot of fun for you. Oh man 12's on 14-15 feet? that sounds like it hurts. with the 164 you might be able to pull off 13's or 14's and maybe get rid of some pain.

I have the same question, I want to take one of these two boards to Japan

@@marcyotei The Storm Chaser has a very short effective edge compared to the Dart, In my case focusing more on all mountain, pow+carving, I would be leaning Dart. I am sure James would give you good advice for Japan, but they are 2 very different boards for pow IMO, like the SC is a short fat and the Korua is more meant to be ridden bigger.

It really depends on how you ride and your specs. If I were going to Japan, I'd bring the Gentemstick Barracuda, Moss Jellyfish, and Korua Pin Tonic or try other longer Gentemstick and Moss rides if I was riding really low-angle pow. The Dart and Storm Chaser would stay at home. What is your boot size, height, weight? Also what do you have in your quiver now? If you want to do this properly, hit me here to get the info I need to help you much better. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/

Two very different rides@ANETOKILLE. The only thing they have in common is the swallowtail design. The Storm Chaser rides a little shorter/wider, has a lot less taper (1.1cm less), rides a little less setback. and carves more on the back foot. The Spoon nose has a smoother turn in pow. The Dart rides a little longer. I would ride the 156 Dart and the 152 Storm Chaser as daily drivers for groomers and pow. I'd only size up if it was more for pow and clean groomers only. It has more camber, and drives really hard off the front foot on groomers. It's got a much more tapered/Nose heavy feel in comparison and it doesn't ride well unless you ride that very posi.

Thanks! No he didn't. They only had a 152 and we weren't sure about the 157 since he's 40+ pounds over the recommended weight.

Yeah, It wasn't a deal breaker but it would have been nice to have.

That was such a great board for the time.

@@thegoodridesnow yeah, I love how surfy the Barracuda is, turns off the front foot, yet rides off the rear foot. It’s a real shame they aren’t making new S Camber boards with the latest tech

Have you tried the Moss Jellyfish? You might like that if you liked the Barracuda.

@@thegoodridesnow I haven’t ridden the Moss boards yet, I was considering buying Winterstick, Gentemstick, and Moss powder boards in the upcoming season though. Those are all pretty pricey but seem like they’re worth the money

If you have the new 2021 with rubber in the heal instead of foam it's a big difference. Much more shock absorbent. A little less response but close enough for me not to need more. High back is a little stiffer with the Force too. I recently switched over to the new Force just because I need more shock absorption and I'm not missing the Atlas.

You are in between sizes. What make/model/size board do you ride now and how do you like it/how does it feel size wise for you?

@@thegoodridesnow thanks for your reply! right now i'm using a nitro optysim 2022 147. i don't dislike the board, but i don't think it's the right fit for me. i've lost the tail while buttering a lot. i think the size is good, but i feel like smaller would fit me better.

I rode that Optisym a while back. Very fun but pretty soft. They make it in a 149 and 146. Can you tell me which of those 2 you have?

@@thegoodridesnow whoops! all this time i thought it was 147. i just checked, it's 146!

142 Twinpig will do then. Cheers!

Unfortunately I didn't try the Mystery HTH so it's hard to say unless I actually ride it. I will say that these ultra-light high end boards aren't for everyone. Sometimes you pay more to get less so make sure you are a lighter rider and you see lots of good conditions. Or you are willing to compromise stability in uneven snow for pop. Otherwise you might like the regular models better.

Ha, preach! --- Ghhhhhh, summer. *Sticks head in freezer / daydreams*

I think you missed my point and I didn't compare it to bigger directional boards. All boards compared had the same or less surface area which is massively more important than length. The 155 pyl uninc is almost the same, but even the 153 Standard Uninc and Standard, which are directional twins with less surface area, have better directional float when using the set-back inserts. So it's not sizing it's just about explaining that this has no real directional float compared to other YES boards readers might be considering. If you watch the whole Pow chapter, you will see I said it's good for a twin but not for people who want to set it back. Lastly, my specs work with the 150 and 153 but not the 155 for a size 9 boot. Just too hard for me to turn. The 150 worked very well on groomers. The 153 would as well but they only had a 150. That's why I compared similar surface area boards to the 150.

I'd say you are between the 156 and 160. The 160 is a good fit for your weight but the 156 for your boot size. If you want control the 156 would be the choice. If you want more float and speed the 160 would be the call. Only go 164 if you only plan to ride it in super deep pow.

Many thanks. Yeah it's in the works but it barely changed. One minor but good thing is it has a better set back on board with a narrower stance width set all the way back. The rest of the ride is almost exactly the same.

Thank you! I rented last year’s and loved so glad it hasn’t changed much :) Looking forward to the video but no rush.

I'd probably go 167w. That's a good fit for you. 164w could work too if you want more control and an easier turner at the expense of speed and float. If you want to get into it more hit me here to give me the info I need to help you much better. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/

@@thegoodridesnow have you demo'd the Ride berzerker? So far that's my board of choice I'm thinking

yes. thegoodride.com/snowboard-reviews/ride-berzerker-2012-2024-snowboard-review here is my take. I prefer the Jones Frontier better but it's all about personal preference. If you want a super turny board then the Berzerker might work but it can feel hooky if you try to straight.

@thegoodridesnow I base it off who designed the berzerker and his riding preference, ive seen it mentioned a lot of how the bezerker is great for "turning" to be honest

@thegoodridesnow I do appreciate that review, the Frontier I was really considering, fast lines big mountain alpine is in the picture, cheers

Many thanks! So what is your height and what size SK do you have? Or if you want to do this right hit me here so I can get all the info I need to give you real advice. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/ . YT is not a good place for me to help.

Ah shit! Fat thumbed that in sizing. Thanks for the heads up. With death grip its more like 25.5.

No prob. So I think you could get the most bang for the buck with more responsive boots. The Rulers aren't bad out of the box but soften up over time. Going with something more responsive like the Ion or SLX but those cost a lot. The Driver X might be too much but it might work. If you want other boot recommendations hit me here to give me the info I need to help you much better. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/

Good to hear and thanks for your take. What size did you ride? What's your boot size, weight and height?

@@thegoodridesnow boot size 10.5. height: 5'10. weight was around 170 then? I think I was on a 158, might have been a '56, Id have to check my notes. I rode the 2024 as well the season before last. I test for a local shop in Michigan and had a couple other guys try it out, even a brand new rider. Everyone loved it.

Many Thanks @benjaminsimolka7187!
