Love this format, would love to see a review of the Jone Frontier.

[@FazeredTube]

I really like the format of these reviews.

[@WhitelinesSnowboarding]

Thanks bud!

[@FazeredTube]

@@WhitelinesSnowboarding no worries. I even appreciate the dad jokes!

[@mike56714]

I just really enjoyed Stef's riding style even though I'm no where near his skill level. Good review!

[@ryanweddle6745]

The amount of rocker in the tips is minimal. I'm surprised he mentions it soo much. Either way, great review. I've got the Algorythm which is essentially a beefed up version of this. It's a great board.

[@notbriann]

this is such a fun review style, subbed!

[@EyItzTiNNie]

The shadowban is my favorite between my mega merc, super doa, and shadowban

[@WhitelinesSnowboarding]

It's a great board!

[@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565]

Is it catchy at all or pretty forgiving with the rocker?

[@davidallan9168]

Better ride than the mega merc?

[@EyItzTiNNie]

@@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565 yea I’d say it’s pretty forgiving, and I like that I can cruise with it and also push it when I need to

[@EyItzTiNNie]

@@davidallan9168 If you like going really aggressive all the time then mega merc is better, but I like the ability to be laid back and be aggressive when I need to. The effective edge is about 10% shorter so it’s more maneuverable for sure

[@kellenmck]

Just picked this board up , first board I picked out for myself and I bought it as a park focused rider who rides all mountain was a little anxious w the board being directional and not a true twin but this just about confirmed it won’t matter

[@Hoofcake]

I too have bought this board. Not ridden it yet. I’ve read that you can set your bindings at the ref points for directional setup or move for a centred twin setup. Curious how this effects the ride. Assume directional better for POW. Centred for riding switch. What are your thoughts on the board so far?

[@arlokkkk]

How you like it? I also bought this board after went on sale. Never ridden it.

[@Hoofcake]

@@arlokkkk hi, I love it. Does everything you could ask of it. Not the easiest to butter imo if that’s your thing. But everything else is spot on. Ride it in groomers and had a couple of POW days too

[@arlokkkk]

@@Hoofcake thanks bro!

[@btwgg]

Can’t decide between shadowban and Bataleon Thunderstorm… did you ride the thunderstorm as well? Aside from 3BT, which one would you chose? I m looking for an all mountain quiver killer which can charge and play around. No park but I like sidekicks, pow rarely but like it

[@johnkztillo]

Which board is best to pick? Ride Shadowban or Bataleon Whatever.

[@w00tw00tyeahhh]

Sick review guys. Really thinking about picking this up for 23/24 season. I really need to know though: what gloves is Stef wearing? I couldn’t help but notice they look like a liner but is it warm? Waterproof? Please help! Lol.

[@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565]

Why would someone get this over the Salomon Assassin and vice versa? Torn between the boards! Seems like Stef enjoyed the Assassin more 🤔

[@stevros48]

I'm in size 10.5 boots could I get away with going the 157 or would the 155w be a better bet ?

[@ElValuador]

155w so you can carve without booting out

[@gboates]

Same boot size I have Ride 157W and 160W but go fast carve hard posi/posi. No washed out duck back foot here 😂

[@seanuchida7203]

250lbs 11 boot size US with Union medium bindings, what size Shadowban should I get?

[@gboates]

size L bindings

[@ianscottcastillo7709]

This or Nidecker Escape?

[@arturoespinoza1645]

Well ! I got to buy a board do it all and here I m , I’m 174 long my weight is 73 kg ! Boots 42 / 9 US exact ‘ what board size will be nice for all around ! One board ! ????

[@ElValuador]

Height is irrelevant. For the shadowban get a 154 if you want a more turny freestyle feel or a 157 if you want more speed and edge control. Good luck

[@janschulz1867]

Hey - what are Stef‘s specs to get an better idea of sizing. A am 5 feet 8 inches an my weight is around 181lbs. Boot size is a Europe 42 or I guess US 9. should I go for the 157 an an Allmountain Freestyle Daily driver or the 154? In the end both will get the job done?

[@andriyhirnyak4324]

Which did u end up with ?

[@janschulz1867]

157 - It fit's my weight better. It is more let's say mountain friendly and even able to hook up with a freestyle approach.@@andriyhirnyak4324

[@janschulz1867]

@hirnyak4324 The 157, it can handle freestyle stuff and is let's say a little more mountain friendly.
