I hope this review helps from a rider on this board for 100 days! Avran, watching this review was the main reason I purchased it. Hi guys. I'm 49yrs old and I have 4 Mega Death boards. Two 157W (2023/24 & 2024/25), one 156 and one 159. I love them all. I'm thinking of getting the 161W too. Capita sent me the 157W 2024/25 for free. Shout out to them. This board can be for beginners, intermediates and advanced riders too. Nothing weird about how it rides. It's like a snowboard you know and trust what it will do BUT does it better! What I liked most about the Mega Death is that I've been riding it all season 2023/2024. I took it to Zermatt, Whistler, Sun Peaks, Big White, Vail, Park City, Kitzbuhel, Ischgl, Solden, 3 Valleys, Val d'Isere... the list goes on!! I'm just putting those places out there so you can figure out the conditions. 1. Yes, it's super light. One might not think about this but having to carry your board in the resorts can sometimes be too much. Especially true when you have to walk for 20-30 mins. Being light also helps with having to carry the bag in the airport! So being light helps and this board was light. 2. FAST! This board OMG! You'll thank me when in flats. I've passed skiers pushing multiple times on flats and honestly this board was worth the price just because of that alone! I had to speed check myself multiple times as I'm not too comfortable mocking down runs. You point this thing down and it will boost, turbo boost. All boards are fast when you wax them but this board excels without any effort to go fast. It just wants to go fast. It's great in powder too!!! I was seriously impressed. 3. Stability. I think this is where I love it the most. You have that camber under your feet which is perfect. Not an aggressive camber like the Aeronaut (super aggressive and catchy). Perfect amount of camber with the rockers well placed to give you those easy turns in and out. Perfect turns in groomers and powder. The balance was great. On ice-packed groomers, you'll have to be a bit aggressive to engage the contact point for a solid grip due to that rocker in the nose. The tail was great too, that small amount of flat-rocker doesn't make it washy and catchy. The tail is just great on this board. Circle carves, euro carves, mellow carves all great! Easy to ride switch, just don't put too much into the turn. The tail will grip faster than the nose. 4. Pop. Has pop when you load it up and has pop when you don't load it up! I'm 49 so nothing above a feet or two for me. I haven't hit rails, only boxes and small jumps and it was perfect. Not sure if it's a board for medium jumps. Has anyone taken it to medium and large jumps. I took it to a very small jump and felt my knees saying "why?!" 5. Damp and lively. I love how this board is both damp and lively when in different terrain. Then again it's the bindings that complete this equation. You'll feel EVERYTHING with a Union Ultra (if I recall correctly), the Union Force was a great balance with this board. Also the Burton Cartel X was great too. The Cartel X was the smoothest ride on this. However the Union Force was the perfect balance! I'm not sure if I missed anything... I'm 5'8 and 200lbs. I hope this helps you guys when purchasing. Last but not least, their customer service is just AMAZING! Thank you Avran for always being honest in your reviews.

I got to demo one finally. I am 6'2" 220 lbs and all they had was the 159. I was totally surprised how well the board size suited me. My BSOD is a 162, and I would most likely do the same in the Mega, but damn it just rode so well. I had the opportunity to smash some deep pow (12") and it still floated great for me as well. The only thing I didn't really get to test was super high speed groomers, that's where the extra length may help with stability. The first jump I hit was crazy as it felt like there was nothing strapped to my feet, it just wanted to fly. I am most likely going to have to pick one up next year.

I’m just concerned about how it will perform when the snow gets choppy at the end of days, like if I would have to switch out to my super doa midway through the day.

I just bought one and put on a new pair of katanas. Your reviews helped inform that decision. Thanks!

[@MackNastyify]

Favorite setup/ daily driver: 2021 BSOD (DEATH MACHINE) 161W, 2020 Union Atlas bindings, K2 Thraxis boots. 6'4 210lbs I am that rider what you may have seen in other reviews as the guy who has loud aggressive death metal blasting in their ears doing Mach Jeezuz down the mountain who likes to lay trenches indicative of the BSOD rider. On fresh groomers all you want to do is carve it. Powder is easy and floaty The BSOD handles tracked out runs with incredible ease as well as. I can freeride just about anything with this setup but spend almost zero time in the park. The Mega Death seems to be the next level BSOD I have been hoping for, not to say the BSOD was lacking. The lightness was also a huge selling point. (Also a MegaDeth fan...), seems to be the next level from what I want as a speed/ carve/ freeride demon. Review from AS tells me all I want to know especially since I know the profile and I'm sold. I have already purchased my Mega Death @ 161w and will be using my K2 thraxis boots and Union Atlas Pro bindings. First runs will be in Mammoth, Vail, Big Sky, and Zeramatt. This all being said I will still keep my BSOD and compare

[@Slipknoted911]

Thanks again for a great season of reviews/ presentations, Angry. How would you compare Capita megadeath with Jones stratos? I don’t do park, but mostly powder/trees/groomer. If you can compare the dampness on uneven terrain / float in powder/ carving experiences for both boards. I always hear that capita is geared towards park thus the hesitation and leaning towards Jones Stratos. I would appreciate your recommendation. Thank you.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Watch both the reviews, the information is in there.

How is the ride in comparison to the mega merc? Currently using one as daily driver. Ride less than 5% park.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Little more snappy and responsive, more aggressive on edge, lighter.

[@skankwave5245]

In boards the number one thing I look for is turn. From someone who hates a doa and an outsider because the rail is strange and they feel like ass when turning plus they shed an insane amount of speed when you 90 degree them, but absolutely loves the aggressive yet playful feel of the turn on an asymulator, and likes a mercury okay, how is the turn on this? If you've tried the rome freaker it has the same type of too sturdy, non playful cut/rail as a doa and an outsider you might get what I'm trying to say.

[@TN-q54]

Nice review, and yes agree about the quality. How would you compare it to the Mega Merc, how different is it?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's lighter, more responsive, more aggressive on edge, and more freeride oriented.

[@TN-q54]

@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks! In other words, it's just better, it seems like? Is there any good reason to keep Megamerc then? I feel like this can be a good trade. How about the shape of the nose? Is it the same flat? Everything sounds very attractive, It would be nice if it also could swim in the pow like spoons, but probably in that case it would lose some grip, oh yeah.

in your opinion is it a good purchase ? especially in 159 for more freeride days, seing your review seems suitable. I ride around 30 -40 days per years so a diferent board for pow-freeride days would be nice. Any other suggestion is welcomed or binding combination. Thank you @@AngrySnowboarder

[@Onesevensevenzerothirteen]

Worth picking up as a dedicated freeride board if i already have a mega merc I daily drive?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

No.

[@skaterboy872010]

Bro im an lower intermediate and I love the ride zero and my Whitespace amf I was looking for a new board is there anything you would recommend?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It's almost like we need to have a video series were we give a list of boards we think would be good for people. We should probably do that. kzbin.info/aero/PLuW-gT2uGJQ6Dr3Yx23HM4qiaWxxfb5fM

[@swy3735]

Is there going to be much of a difference between Mega Death and the 2021 BSOD, the anniversary one with bit more flex? Or is it too much overlap ?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

There’s differences but not enough to warrant getting the mega in my opinion.

[@jimasful]

which one would you recommend for carving this one or the stranda biru ?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Warp speed on a Sunday when you're being a princess this. Carving all the time Biru.

[@Rufuss76]

This or the mega merc as an all mountain freestyle? Cheers Av

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Mega Merc is definitely more all mountain freestyle, this is a bit more all mountain freeride.

[@jculp]

Hi Avran, would you recommend this board to someone who is an intermediate to upper intermediate rider looking for a good all mountain, but primarily resort, style riding?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

No.

[@IIISentorIII]

100% *NO* Go for the Mercury

[@evolbetty4598]

I’m 5’9” 175 pounds with size 11 boots. Should I go with the 157w or the 159?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

57w

[@evolbetty4598]

@@AngrySnowboarder thanks dude. Really looking forward to hearing your review on the 2025 model once you get a chance to shred it next season.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

The only change is they made the base a little thicker, that's it. Otherwise exact same board.

[@sammietam4201]

What size did you ride on this board?

[@kohsone]

This board is really ultimate super lightweight? Or it’s a good marketing catching things 🙃 Because price is solid 🔥

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Watch the review and see.

[@huntbreeze4305]

super lightweight till the top sheet gets covered in 5 lbs of stickers

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Have to use that lightweight vinyl. Gives you more horsepower.

[@robikanobi]

Capita Megadeath vs Jones aviator 2.0 vs Ride mtnpig. Which one is stiffer and which is best for resort high speed all mountain?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Stiffest to softest MTN Pig, Aviator, Megadeath. Depends on what you want out of the board performance-wise.

[@robikanobi]

@@AngrySnowboarder i prefer stiffer boards and going fast so I am leaning towards the MTNpig.... BSOD 2016 was a little too soft for me.....

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Get a Nidecker Megalight.

[@robikanobi]

@@AngrySnowboarder is that still all mountain friendly and good for bombing?

[@omgrobotics213]

Hey Avran. Do you think this is a solid option to add to the quiver as my current daily is a Super DOA? Thanks dude.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Too much overlap honestly. I treat this more as a specialized board you break out for ripping groomers or doing a banked slalom.

[@omgrobotics213]

@@AngrySnowboarder thanks for the reply! Do you have a top 3 I should consider adding to the quiver?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

We do have plenty of weekly top 5 videos covering multiple categories, probably should start there.

[@joshuat5874]

I wonder if everyday has chop and chunder?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It can if you go looking for it.

[@snoopygray]

How does this compare to the mega merc and which one do you prefer?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

More aggressive on edge, faster base finish, little more damp.

[@AznAnarchy99]

Would this be too much of a board for me? I ride a 2023 Mercury right now. I wouldn’t say I’m pro but I can carve blues and ride blacks.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Fuck if I know if it's too much for you.

[@AznAnarchy99]

@@AngrySnowboarderordered one we’ll find out lol

[@tscc]

Should be manageable. I'm an "intermediate" rider and went from a Ravine Select to this (buying an used one of all things) and I haven't died yet. I like the MD more. That said, it has an interesting flex behavior. When I'm scraping the ground to make a Malcolm Moore style shelf to strap in, it feels like I'm handling a pool noodle on my foot, but doesn't feel like it when riding it.

[@punkybeerconsumer]

Where are the wall mounted board racks from?

[@punkybeerconsumer]

What size board did you ride?

[@petergiuliano2237]

What do you think about the Yes Pyzel?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

It was one of the worst boards I rode for this season.

[@paullemenager7716]

why isn't it in the top 5 all mountain freeride 23/24? the test was after the top 5 or it doesn't belong in it?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Because I put it in the Top 5 Over Hyped boards list.

[@ineedtodothingsandstuff9022]

Im 62kgs 179cm, min size of this board is 156. Last time I rided 156 was the 2008 custom X. Was fun in groomers but did not like in trees felt like turning the board was too much effort. So for this board156 too big for my weight? Was gonna buy 150 golden orca for some pow and tree runs but now Im confused

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Could be, I don't know your skill level.

[@ineedtodothingsandstuff9022]

i dont know either, lets just buy golden orca I guess@@AngrySnowboarder

[@DALGOENT]

got it!

[@Simon-Mtb-enduro]

Black snowboard of death still the best

[@jeffadams9699]

Avran.....is it optional or required to listen to Megadeath while on this board?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Pow day it's required, every other day fully optional.

[@Outvincible505]

What are your thoughts on this board with the atlas fc?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Seems like a bit overkill with that binding, but hey if you want to spend money for the sake of spending money go for it.
