Would love a top 5 insults to hurl at skiers. If you ever start getting low on ideas, which I doubt.

[@andrewhua4972]

Got the standard Ravine and was seriously impressed with it! I wanna give the nerd a try though, but I'm struggling to justify buying so many boards.

[@forgottenwave]

Never struggle with the thought of buying boards if they are fun to ride. (Or just look good) Also I just bought a Nerd and if it sucks…I will send it to you ✌️

[@360kr3w]

Nerd Super Position is in the top 5 boards I’ve ridden. Must buy.

[@christobey4198]

Interested in a Ravine select in a 158 and the Nerd superposition. Will you be having a review for the superposition coming out anytime soon? I'm 225lb with a size 11 boot could I get away with the 157 nerd or do recommend 160? Like to charge, carve, and jump side hits and rollers. Rad Dad with rough knees that rides mostly in the midwest with a couple trips out West. My superpig was pretty rough on my knees after 3 days out West last year. Is one more damp than the other?

[@DanielGennaro]

Considering a board off marketplace. I should prob ride a 153 but it’s a 155. I’m in Pennsylvania and prob a lot of icy conditions out here. Not good powder. Def miss the powder of Utah and the big resorts. What would be the best board profile for icy conditions? And Pennsylvania and New York resorts. I love the surfy feel of a board but I feel a camber is best for icy.. I longboard skateboard so love the flow of snowboarding but not super amazing at speed control still and slowing down and or on straight aways. I held my own at snowbird and powder mountain with a few buddies that were more experienced tho. I’m more of an all mountain board tho. Could care less about park riding… I think maybe a camber underfoot and rocker between the bindings seems like it’ll be what I’m looking for

[@milanbijl558]

Ive owned a Bataleon camel toe for a couple of years now. Also had the carver and other 3bt boards. The pow 3bt is my sweetspot because the nose is mega scooped but the tail hardly. That sidekick is invisible in the tail and since you drive from the back foot in these pow 3bt boards I never really noticed a loss of grip on firm snow or ice. You just gotta centre your pressure between your feet and your golden. A bit of an adjustment sure, but worth the looseness, fun, pow advantages and not getting bogged down in slush. My 2 pennies, for your consideration.

[@milanbijl558]

Also I think the plus versions of Bataleon pow boards like camel two or party wave plus will be even more fun because of the carbon and slightly stiffer flex

[@milanbijl558]

“Fuckin fanboy”… I know

[@dukenukem7183]

I rode 1 day at the end of last year on a party wave +. that 3bt is going to take some getting used to

Hi Avran. Thanks for the great content. Looking forward to the next top 5 snowboard videos. I am an East Coast rad dad with a Typo that I love (based on your recommendation from 2019). I am thinking of getting a freeride/carver board. Any suggestions that would fit nicely with the Typo? I don't need a super charger but more like an all around freeride that can compliment Typo. Thanks man!

[@AngrySnowboarder]

There's 5 in this list, take your pick.

[@forgottenwave]

Unbelievable…Sober as hell, and I went with a board you recommended…Last year for fun I did buy a board you said kinda sucked and well it really sucked…Let’s see how vwell your friend did with this NERD board…I’m so excited for it to be amazing…I can’t believe I’m trusting a Copper Mountain bum…🤔✌️❄️

[@TheDp1965]

Another Great top 5. Keep on keepin on!

Hey there ! Can you explain what did the Amplid Souly Grail lack to hit the top 5 please? Thanks for your videos and greetings from France

[@yayayeah2295]

Hey Avran, in regard to the hyper and xC2, does it have any decent pop? Does it resemble more to a rocker or C3? Gracias a lot

[@nigellock6992]

Great review Angry. i got the Nitro banker 2023 this season (NZ) sick board mate if you get a chance to run one :) keep up the great content

[@katherineroof7005]

2018 rossi one mag= ice coast beast, good in pow , good on groomred, holds on ice, plenty pop, go to probably 85% of the time. little iffy on rails if you're not used to it but holds a turn as fast and hard as you can push it, chunder buster

[@AngrySnowboarder]

But this is 2023 product.

[@jeremysmith4473]

Between the Bataleon Cruiser and GNU Hyper, which is softer and better for more mellow cruising vs. having the ability to charge. I have a K2 Excavator for hard charging so looking for something more mellow.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Hyper all day, huge drop in stiffness between the two.

[@endo-poptart]

Avran, which board would be best for hard charging the ice coast? Jones Stratos or Arbor Annex! Looking forward for the top 5 freeride of 23 🤙🏼

[@AngrySnowboarder]

I wouldn’t do the stratos for charging

[@endo-poptart]

@@AngrySnowboarder I waited to long and the Nidecker Tracer sold. Too many boards to choose from. Now I'm looking into the Bataleon Cruiser, Jones UME or the Korua Pencil. Wondering if you are going to have a video on the Cruiser?

[@robertg9844]

He, great videos and reviews. I’m in Switzerland, so we have sometimes ice. I’m 1.81m in height, 82kg heavy and have 11.5 vans. Which should I take, to sometimes go hard. The hyper, ravine or cruiser. Thank you !

[@robertg9844]

I mean the normal ravine

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Hyper will have the best edge hold.

[@robertg9844]

Thank you sir.

[@lubo3614]

Hi there, my guestion is more about the meaning of carvy cruising. Is it, let’s say,a lazy carving in low speed? Would I able to ride this with stiffer board and bindings? Rossignol xv+now o drive?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

You can do anything you want, doesn't mean it's going to be ideal.

[@lubo3614]

Exactly

[@Bohdisattva326]

Nice brotato pancakes. Real nice bro

[@sanjayc74]

How's the Yes Optimistic compared to the Yes hybrid? The hybrid on paper seems more cruisy...I'm a Yes Snowboard fan boy (smh)

[@AngrySnowboarder]

There’s some overlap between the two. Hybrid floats better but doesn’t carve as well.

[@adenheyman8853]

On the nerd do you recommend 57 or 60? I’m 6’1” 205lbs boot size 13

[@AngrySnowboarder]

57 if you want it more for cruising and being playful 60 for a bit more charging.

[@friend_built]

I’m almost the same size, Im 6 foot 195 size 13. You want a lib tech skunk ape.

[@adenheyman8853]

Greetings Avran General binding recommendations for these decks. Thanks. Mr. F-10

[@jaybartlett2561]

I recommend to generally use bindings on all of them.

[@mr.force1036]

@@jaybartlett2561 roger that. Thanks

[@davidchui4743]

Superposition's smallest size is a 157... I'd love to give it a shot but I currently ride 150-153 depending on terrain and mountain conditions. All about getting sideways and off piste freeride/tree runs/bowls/pow hunting. Do you think the 157 will feel too big for me?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

That might be a bit much for you. I know they’re working on getting a smaller size.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Just talked to the owner 51 coming in this fall.

[@pyrodemon365]

Is a full review for the Bataleon Cruiser on the way or does the bit here pretty much sum it up?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

We don't do reviews here anymore.

[@tobiash.4470]

Hey Avran, any Binding recommendations that go with these boards? I am still looking for something that is reactive and gives me tight edgehold but doesn't feel dead stiff like the union force. Help is highly appreciated.

[@AngrySnowboarder]

You probably just want something with a mini disk as the Force is not a stiff binding by any means.

[@tobiash.4470]

@@AngrySnowboarder I actually really like the minidisc of my stratas but it's too soft for my Korua. So Falcors then maybe? Not the biggest Union fanboy though, so I was thinking about trying Rides C8's or Pilots or Drives by Now. Afraid to go too stiff, started with Customs, so theres still a long way to go

[@AngrySnowboarder]

You probably want some Bataleon or Romes honestly. Something with the full wrap. Maybe a DOD or Astro Full.

[@vkoba2010]

What is your favorite for just a chillin’, good time vibe? Something for a lazy daze.

[@bendoubleu1122]

I have the carver and I’d like more flex at times…sounds like the cruiser is just that?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Bingo!

[@bendoubleu1122]

Do you think the bataleon cruiser is too much board for an intermediate rider? I feel like I’m not even close to using my bataleon carver board to its full capacity as an intermediate rider.

[@dan.r9220]

Sad you didn't also mention Donek in your hard boot rant.

Too much overlap between a Superposition 57 and Instrument 54?

[@AngrySnowboarder]

Not necessarily overlap just you'll ride the Superposition and then get on the Instrument and wonder why you own an Instrument as the Superposition covers what it does and then some.

[@chrisgowder9211]

Hey Avran, Looking for a one board quiver recommendation for a Rad Dad resort ripper. All my time on the hill is spent out in CO ripping various resort. I like to bomb blues/blacks and hit the trees occasionally (especially when there is POW). I don't hit the park, but I'm not afraid of launching off side hits. Would you recommend any of the 3 below (or anything else) for that profile? Jones Stratos K2 Excavator Bataleon Cruiser Thanks & stay angry

[@AngrySnowboarder]

I'd probably just get the Excavator.
