I bought one at a good price instead of used OG Mercury that I liked, but I wanted something lighter and more springy. I don't know what level I am at, because I mainly visualize the ride and hit the mountains once or twice a year, but If Mega Merc will not kill me with its turbo fast base, I'll let you know what differences a layman from the lowlands sees.

Shelled out the cash and bought a Mega this year. Trying to decide between the Union Atlas Pro or the Bent Metal solution for a binding. Looking for something super stiff and responsive to charge hard through pow and cliffs. Also will be riding in some banked slalom comp with this board/ binding settup. Unions are made in china, Bent metal in Washington so if they were a tie I would go with Bent Metals.

Merc or Mega Merc? I only ride two weeks a year since I don’t live near a mountain. I am looking to replace my T.Rice Pro 2016. I mostly carve on groomers, but I the weather allows it I will be chasing pow. I want a board the can take my carving skills to the next lvl and where I can improve my switch and Jump/spin skills. I can ride switch but it is not pretty. I am still working to stomp the 360 on a medium jump. But I basically want I board where I can make both quick and long carving turns and FAST. That can ride switch, it does not need to be a perfect board for switch. Where I can jump off anything and make progress in getting more comfortable at bigger jumps and improve my spinning. I have narrowed it down to the MERC and MM I just don’t know which one is best for and though you maybe had some input that could help me decide. Best regards Peter

Hi! I am looking for advice regarding size of the Mega Mercury (155 or 157). I currently ride on a Amplid Paradigma (2010) 159. I mainly ride on groomers, carving and some jups/side hits. Sometimes powder but not often in park. I am 6" tall, weigh 170-175 LBS and have shoe size US 9. I am leaning towards the 155 due to my shoe size but do you think that I will have enough stability on higher speeds and length for carving as I come from a 159 board (flex 6, directional twin, camrocker and waist widt 250mm)? On the other side the 157 might be wide and feel to big. Thank you in advance for your advice! Kind regards, Sander

I have had this board for a while (black/yellow, previous year model, 159). 5’10, 175+ lbs, size 9W boots, Union Falcors. I love almost everything about it, but am looking for a 2nd board better for the deeper powder days (Wasatch Mts etc) while not compromising performance on steeper/technical terrain too much. I have been considering the Korua Dart, Korua Dart Plus, BSOD, Jones Storm Chaser, Ultra Flagship, etc. What 2nd freeride, more powder-capable board would you recommend pairing with my Mega Merc?
@AngrySnowboarder
@AngrySnowboarder 4 ай бұрын
Why not just get a real powder board. Out of what you have listed the only one that stands out is the Storm Chaser and that's probably too far into the powder spectrum than you want to go so I'd say go to the Storm Wolf instead.

Trying to decide between this, the Super DOA and Never Summer Proto Ultra - I'm an advanced to expert level rider. I ride in the Tahoe area and looking for a everyday resort killer. Ripping groomers, side hits, boosting off of rollers, trees the day or 2 after a storm. I like butter but no crazy flat land tricks. I will definetly be riding park mostly jump lines small to large, boxes and maybe a few rails. I have a dedicated board for deep days so performance in that type of condition isn't a huge concern. Rode a Custom flying V last year and want something a little more confidence inspiring when really pushing. I'm 5'11" 180/185lbs and size 10 boot. Thinking 156 in the Super DOA, in the mega I'm not sure if the 155 or 157 would be the better choice. Would love to get your opinion. Thanks!

Update: I can butter it fine, also when going slow. It's a great board and I'm really happy about my choice. I can go very fast and it still feels damp and agile. Compared to the YES Greats it's more damp, faster and way better in pow. The Greats is more agile and noticeably easier to butter.

If you’re a advanced freestyle rider who wants to boost into outer space and then some. That wants a slightly (0.5cm) set back board. Get your $850 together and never look back. You’ll love this board. It’s fast, it’s light, death grip gives you a little bit better edge hold, there is 0 chatter in this thing. It’s the best thing on the market. But it’s not for the faint of heart. Simple as that.

I ride last year's. This ride is a charger. The only time I've gone over the handlebars was on the last gate on a banked race that I was trying to shave some time on😂. Other than that, it took a second to get used to only having a camber in the middle, but that's just me. Highly recommended..

Yo Angry. Scooped up last years orca for dirt cheap. I have a pair of last year’s malavitas and Rome DODs. I get you not an orca fan but between the two bindings what would you throw on the Orca
@AngrySnowboarder
@AngrySnowboarder Жыл бұрын
Orca's a fine board, it's the cult around it I'm not a fan of. I'd slap the DOD's on it, give you a little more power out of a turn and less likely to crack your topsheet than the Malavitas.

@@weonboard9430same as Paul above. I test rode a friend’s the other day and it felt like I was cheating. It made everything so effortless. Carving through chunder felt amazing, ice wasn’t an issue either. I was even popping off some stuff and I never get airborne. I think this is a board that you can “grow into”.
