I grew up riding, had several customs in the 90s, never wanted to get off them. I hadn’t rode in 9 years and jumped on my old custom from 98 a few years back, and it was still awesome. Hauled ass, didn’t fall once. No issues controlling it. My childhood buddy who I grew up riding it, and one of the only guys I rode with who could keep up, says he loves the Flying V, no going back. Not sure he ever had a regular custom, but he must’ve. Why would he say the X Flying V is better than the regular X? We’re in our 40s, and going to go ski Japan in February and it will be our first time riding again together in a quarter century. I surf a lot a lot and am in top shape. My thought is that the V is probably easier on the body?? Maybe slightly easier in POW? Is there any other advantage? I like going fast. For an older guy will it reduce some shock and zap me less overall throughout the day letting me ride longer? I’d love thoughts. Thanks guys.

But did you ride it?

How tying shoelaces

man, that foam outsole must get torn to shreds.... when you say that it's "soft" how does that translate into lateral flex? most boots have a built in highback nowadays, and i can't stand that.

Is it a good board for beginners

What's the width difference between regular and wide version?

Great review

BEFORE YOU BUY THESE BOOTS; Major design flaw on the exposed toe cap stitching. They have know about this since 2019, but will not admit it. Warranty dept will try to blame it on the user. But it is an obvious bad design since it happens to both boots simultaneously starting on the sides not the top. I don’t even rest my snowboard on my boots so that’s a bs response from Burton. I’ve had two pairs of Thirty Two boots out last two pairs of ions and a pair of slxs. $600+ boots that will break inevitably in about two seasons.

I think this video sold me on one. At $300 it's worth taking a chance on it.

I've been wearing 32 Lashed since 2009. They've won me as a customer for life. Will never consider another brand at this point.

The only problem that I have seen with this snowboard boot company is they do not have a wide boot for people with wider feet.

Smith method fits just as nice I think. especially with the ANon m4s

Im a size 10w. Do you recommend it for me ?

What about the Somatec feature?

are those M4 googles?

Hey there! I'm planning of buying this board and i'm more backcountry, all mountain oriented in riding, I'm 176cm and 75kg, with 10 US foot and i'm planning of buying the 154 board, but do u think that the 151 will be better option for me, since it won't fatigue my legs on steeps? Do u think also that the 51 will be snappier into the trees? I know that it can be size down because it's wider than the usual boards. So what do u think: which option will be the best 54 or 51 and why?

Sidecut?

Hi, What size should i get 155 lb 5.6 ft 9.5 boot. ? Thank you

Size 9 feet but my Burton boots are a 10 US. 5'9", 205 pound rider doing a lot of rails. Is is a big deal to ride a super d.o.a wide with smaller feet instead of on a regular one? Considering a wide board for better weight support on landings too, thanks.

Does it get super cold to hold in winter

Hey. I'm an absolute beginner and I'm choosing between K2 Standard and Salomon Pulse. Any advice on which one to choose? Thanks

While travelling to Switzerland the airline managed to destroy my Burton Ripcord… thinking of what to buy next without being too adventurous… would the Flying V be a good upgrade but still playful enough (not too intimidating) or should I just buy another Ripcord?

Hello Just bought 2021 burton ripcord 162cm. 162cm only in wide? or regular 162cm too? If the board comes 162cm wide only I dont have to worry. Also, I comment on your other video "do you really need a wide board". My boots 13 and 6' hight 215lb. Thank you

Hi Matt, I just rode my 22/23 Stump Ape for the first time today and it is great in powder and grips ice well but I'm getting a ton of chatter on hard pack. It really killed my knees. I had planned on this being my daily driver but I'm not sure if it will work out. Do you think a damper binding would make it work? Right now I'm using an old pair of Cartels from 2013. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just got a pair today. Superior fit.

Are these true to fit or size up, and if so .5 or 1 size up?

I am eyeing this in any year. 28.5 cm is 11 inches which is the size of the ULTRA WIDE. I have size 14 boot and on my Skunk ape 161W i feel my toes and heel can still catch an edge. Even at the UW my boot technically would still catch. I worry i will still have this problem if i buy an UW one. I thought about going for DONEK which customize the board to your styling completely which I would ask to have a wide board. I Measured my hiking shoes at 13 inches (33cm) and my snow boots should be about the same. advanced rider. what do you think? or is the board elevated enough that I wouldnt notice? 6'3 195lbs size 14 boot

What mask is that?

Anyone know what happened to Matt guf? I miss his reviews

Best fitting anon helmet by far

Hi, may i use M3 version with snapback technology above my helmet or it will be uncomfortable and it should be used only under helmet?

Where can i find or what is the name of that face mask with magnets compatible with this goggles?

Ridiculously huge heel bars push your toes all the way to the front and do not pack out.

You said all m3s are mfi compatible even if it doesn’t come with one?

Great video but it Sounds exacte the same like the Libtech cold brew Wat are the difference?

Just bought a salomon dancehaul board wondering how these bindings will go with it.

more heat = more performance, thats a first

Anyone ever tell you you kinda look like Vaughn Gittin Jr. a little bit? lol

great job, you should do them each year!

I jus wish the edges are more durable, I’ve been looking at nitro beast board because of that rail killer edge because everytime I get a board the edge is always going first.

What anon helmet works best with goggles being worn underneath helmet? My strap is always push on the back of my head where adjustment buckle is.

This guy is annoying af

Nice review

I used to skate and when i transitioned to this board i instantly felt at home, its snappy, light, great board! Haven't tried it on rails tho

what skins to use? i bought the 164 on sale

You say sintered base, not extruded?

Any idea what the difference is between the Titan Boa and the Faction Boa?

What size is that helmet they are wearing?

Hey Matt!! How does the paramount compare w the doa? I can’t choose atm!!!

I have this board. I found its limit...back bowl bombing at Snowbird. Life will flash before you.
