Cant chose the correct size for burton tourist 10US. them doesnt fit into ride abc medium, so which size of hitchhiker did you recomend?

i want one of these but i've seen so many issues with the fabric tearing... i might still try one out.. but the fabric tearing makes the chair worthless unless they sell replacements. i've heard good things about the actual metal construction tho.. so if i can get fabric replacements that would be okay.

It’s really hard to gauge the ride of a park board when you don’t ride park. The hypnotist is meant to hit jumps, which you don’t do. I’m not knocking you, but you should get a guy who rides park to also review these boards.

Most didn’t have service? That’s not good right

Curious If you tested nitro magnum. Rode it last season and it was a surprisingly nice board!

what are the good competitors full camber that holds well on ice?

Hello. I am 5’7, Antigravity 153 is to big for me? I ride 150 in other snowboards.

Great video! Ive seen 159W Gamma Apx on official site, does it really exist?

excellent review. have to agree with your take that these are really board dependent. I found them way too stiff for some boards as an average rider just looking to have a good time.

What a shame it’s mini disc and not the hybrid. Seems like an amazing balance between flex and responsiveness

Are these free?

Any opinions on the Union Strata? Looking to pair it with the Yes Standard 151. Im 5"6, 160pounds. Size 7.5us boot. Great vid mate. Always look forward to your vids. Great info.either the Strata or looking at the Burton Cartels X.

Ever since I saw the video Union put out for the 2025 Union Falcor bindings I’ve been so excited to get them for a couple new boards I’ll be getting for the coming season. They massively improved the Falcors, I’m stoked

would this be a good replacement for my old Burton landlord ?

I ordered the angled strap from Bataleon for $10 for the new vice. after i switched them it works like the old response setting option on the old vice, with a high or low support option. you just have to flip the straps themselves.

I ride in Australia. I'm 5"7 155 pounds. Size 7.5/8 US boot. Need advice on sizing for the regular Standard would a 151 be best for hitting the groomers, carving, hitting side hits and some jumps. Also looking at the union stratas or Burton Cartel X for bindings. With the unions and their mini discs I won't be able to use Yes setbacks. Any other binding recommendations to go with the regular Yes standard?

Like to hear your thought on the powgoda

Hi! Thanks for review! How would you compare it to indoor survival in terms of butters? Is it on another level?

That was the camber profile i was hoping they were going to add to the mind expander.

dope design, not sure if I have ever even heard of Cardiff

I grabbed the 156 a few seasons ago and love it! I’m about 185 6”0 and my boot size is 11.5. Watching this video makes me kinda wish I went 153. I usually ride a 159-162 and was happy to downsize but also was scared to go too small.

Finally, you started bending boards and talking about flex correctly! Because before that it sounded like nonsense. You took the board in the middle, pressed it and said how hard it was between the inserts)) In any case, it was good, because you pressed it and everyone saw what they needed.

I recommend to test the Burton Fish Mine77 in 156. It has the same shape like the 2006 Fish, with a decent camber. I love it with my 9 boots on grommers and in pow. Give it a try or test it. I think you will love it!

How would you compare it to Korua Otto?

Perfect review as always ! Seems that you are on a trail of reviewing Jones 2025 boards. Hope to see an update on the review of the Storm Wolf in 158. For the 2022 model you constantly said that you would like to try the 158 instead of the 162. Hope to see a review of the Freecarver 6000 as well to compare with the 9000 :D See ya

Nice Blue jacket.

I tested this tent on decent rain ( >3mm rain - 3 to 5 hours ) The top ventilation when its fully open, it works great ! However, the little stick that keeps the ventilation open will touch your inner tent mesh and will veerrryyyy slowly creates condensation on your tent top mesh - Suggested to close your top vent during heavy rain condition. The awning when its fully open during heavy rain. Sideways wind will blow some rain inside your inner tent. Suggesting to close down your awning and not fully open. A partial closure with awning facing down 45 degree works well but if you open your awning 90 degree, chances are some rain will get inside. BA didnt send enough stakes initially. Suggested bring extra stakes and also upgrade your BA stakes as they seemed inferior.

If you put that camber profile on the mind expander doesn't that give you the powgoda?

Thanks!

Thank you for the review. I purchased the 164 based on this review. Its nice to find boards with a larger waist width. I am 6'3" 240lbs size 14-15 feet crammed in 12 Vans infuse. Looking forward to it for next season and no more boot out.

Thanks for the review, how does it compare to the Korua Dart with the new camber?

Long time coming. Thanks for the review! Did Davey boy get on it? Love to get his thoughts. I have the 159 already at home, so very interested to hear thoughts from big guys!

Always thought the storm chaser seemed like a super cool board, looks like they made it even better! I agree though, the simple black (and even black and white topsheet) is more fun for me

Thanks for the review!

Burton Flying V was always my least favorite camber profile that they made. I miss their S Camber boards for powder, but they discontinued those in favor of Directional Camber instead which is pretty different. I still have my 2013 Burton Barracuda with the S Camber in a board closet in my house, but I admittedly don’t take it out very often because I have so many other boards with newer tech that I prefer to ride on a powder day

How does the new force compare to the atlas 21? I have the atlas 21 kazu with the strata ankle straps, are the force still softer?

loved the review. i'll definitely buy the 23-24 model, i don't like their new graphics lol. thinking about going 142 as i'll mainly use it for buttering. i'm 5'7 130lbs with 7 boots. would you go for 142 or 148?

Rubbish product. I rode them for 70 days. The toe box disintegrated starting at day 35-40. By day 60 the toe seams were gone. They're not engineered to withstand forces applied to the toe clips. The genesis stepon were just as disappointing - held together by little plastic clips that break, gas pedals that fall off, and hammocks that snap off. I know this is the hardware not the rider because I bought non step on photons and used last season for 60-70 days and surprise-surprise, the toe boxes haven't fallen apart. Junk, but if you like getting a few weeks only, or you're super casual and skid your turns and ride like a nanna these might be OK. Just look at how the hammock is attached - it's two little plastic pegs (that snap) and a pop rivet sent through plastic. If you don't see that is rubbish... Well. Think again when it snaps off and you only have s one season guarantee on that highback. The positives definitely do not out weigh the compromises... And I say this taking my non step on photons from last season and Union atlases to europe for their second full season. The step ons were unrideable failing $#@& by day 60. (rear) gas pedals lost, highbacks snapped off, rear toe clips failing on the first heelside. If you get this system ffs don't get photons, and def not genesis. Loved them for the first 2-3 weeks, until bits started falling off, and then boots started failing.

I am contemplating this snowboard or the mystery edition of hometown hero. What's the difference between the two and which performs better ?

Snowboard content in the summer, I love it! Also makes me mad! I want snow 😆

James, you might disagree but to get more float you should've been on the 153 or 155. Your specs are too big for the 150. No wonder it struggled to float. Not fair to compare it to bigger directional boards with set back.

Hi, I'm 5'11 boot size 10 weight 210-220 lbs, debating should i get the 160 or 164 dart, or maybe the pencil 164 ? looking for a carving/pow board good for trees maybe manuerable and agile , maybe can do a lil jump

Love the content to tide us over waiting for next season. Just curious, any plans to review next year’s BSOD? Put in a pre order and interested to hear some thoughts if you had a chance to ride it.

I’ve been riding the custom since the early 90s. IMO, today’s version is a great option for a RAD DAD quiver. Burton needs to up their graphics game though.

Interested in the frontier, im 6ft5 200lbs size 12 boot, riding big mtn/all mtn, steeper lines, trees etc what size board you think?

Hey James, been following your channel for years and i love your content! I am currently riding the burton skeleton key but find that it is too slow and isn't that quick when it comes to turn initiation (i am 130 lbs and size 9US boots). i'll be heading to Niseko next february and am looking to shop for a new board. Which of the Korua line would you recommend for someone that enjoys a fast and nimble (quick to turn) board that can carve the groomers, but at the same time is a fun board that can powder surf in Niseko's snow condition?

Sawyer TAP is a great filter. I also have the Dual Threaded MINI, and a bucket adapter kit, as a backup system.

Hey everyone. There is an error in the sizing chapter 0:34. It's supposed to be a 25.8cm waist and I forgot to mention that with a 1.5mm bump on each side of the waist it's more like 25.5mm compared to other boards without a bump there.

Exactly the same shape and sizing as the Indoor Survival, but different core and camber profile. Looks like a much more approachable ride compared to the I.S. One thing, the 156cm waist width is 258mm, not 252, but obviously that includes the Death Grip.

Hi mate thanks for this review! I have the cafe racer from korua am keen to upgrade my ride with more response via stiffer boot and bindings. What would your advice on the boot binding combo be for the CR. I am currently on a burton ruler with union force on it, with +30 +12/15 angles, 19 inch stance as I'm short at 167cm. Love the CR150 really digging trenches now with people hiding in them 😆
