Board Testing - Top Snowboards of 2025

[@j.p.6228]

This would literally be a DREAM to walk up to a tent village with every brand and pick whatever board I want to ride… Stuff of dreams fellas. You’re living it!

Cheers! thanks for the Support!

Fawcett always showing off that race background and making every board look like a race board. Just railing those carves, awesome.

Fawcett does it best

This was such a good video. Fawcett still showing the young ones how it's done

Geez I could watch Fawcett ride all day!! Love watching that type of riding!!

Great videos guys, cools me down in the Australian spring 😅. Why have I never seen you guys ride a ride snowboard? I love the pig line up.

[@SmoothBaracuda]

Seems like bad reps on Rides part if they aren't in the mix here haha every other brand you'd want seems to be represented there

[@wesleymaduro5795]

Quality content! Getting hyped for my February trip

[@leroytapia9143]

I was waiting for the indoor survival… heard a lot of great things about it. Nice to see you boys shredding 🤙🏼

[@markmorrison7342]

Definitely a great board! It’s aimed a little more towards park/resort which unfortunately we don’t get to showcase so much as our local hill Whitewater doesn’t build a park until mid March

[@JukkaliMx]

Great video, guys. Love seeing you cut loose and show off. Too bad the girls didn't join to demo some of the women's decks. Btw, I'm now convinced that the Capita rep got into the business for the board graphics 😆

[@briankuhns5623]

addings chapters to your video with names of each board so we can navigate using the time bar easier would be great. love the content

[@ZeeZeeZoodles]

That mark faucet fellow is pretty decent at snowboarding, I might even say alright 🙃

I bought a Fuse jacket from Skyline Outerwear last season and it was the best jacket I have ever owned!

This is what’s up!!! More more more content like this!!!!

[@The_Blessed_Cowboy]

Last season was tough! Seeing all the grass and shrubs sticking out of the one and only good dump we got hurts!

[@markmorrison7342]

If I remember correctly that was opening day at Salmo. Definitely a low snow year but it always could have been worse!

[@The_Blessed_Cowboy]

@@markmorrison7342 🍻 here's to a better season.

[@gregorychristensen5165]

I got a pair of Ride A-10 bindings a few seasons ago and absolutely love them. They’re a bit pricey, but they’re worth it. I picked them up at an end of season sale for 40% off. All the part are easily replaceable too, I’ve not had to replace anything yet (and they have 100ish days of use) but it’s nice knowing that’s an option.

[@VKMP1234]

Need to see footage of Fawzy on an Alchemist!

[@ANETOKILLE]

Really motivating video, good editing, I wanted to see Mark on the PYL UnInc...

[@markmorrison7342]

I’m on it! Right at the end of the video! Sorry if you were hoping for the other Mark but he had already spent some time on it previous to this event. I promise I can carve ALMOST about as well as him

Which Mark? 😉

Yo. Where, like what resort can I go start demoing boards. Obviously if im wanting to demo im at a progression point and im almost robbing to find the right set up. I have a daily driver. Im good with that. But I want to demo butter/jibbier boards to find the right one. Any mountain known for its demo selection.

Fawcett, are your angles 30/12 or 30/6, sick carving 🤙

[@Riders_Lounge]

@@tribalart88 usually 30/6 but conditions always dictate !

[@tribalart88]

@ I'm planning to try a posi posi stance but do you think a 30/6 angle would be a good choice for my first time? Or is that too aggressive?

[@warrens4808]

You guys should make it a practice to speak a little to your stance when you demoed these boards... 'cause you know we want to know. :-) In particular, I am wondering what stance approach you used with the MegaDeaths. Do you remember? It looks closer to a +3 or +6 in the rear. Thanks as always.

[@Riders_Lounge]

@@warrens4808 For sure ! We all tend to ride the MD set back and as that sidecut is so nice , the posi posi sure lends itself to powerful turns !

[@warrens4808]

@@Riders_Lounge Thanks. When you set it back, are you basically riding (carving) behind the center of the side-cut? Like one step back vs centered around reference?

[@Riders_Lounge]

@ yes , exactly ! Also advantageous in Powder

[@jefferyromaniuk]

Hey guys - love the videos - based my new deck buys for this season on your reviews - so what is this frictionless spray on wax? The "good shit" you're all talking about getting from some of the reps? Where can us mere mortals get such miracles?

What Arc jacket is Jack wearing? Hadn't seen that color (it's rad!)

[@Riders_Lounge]

Thats a one off custom :)

[@matthewpontifes7534]

I’d love a softer free ride board. Love energetic riding and lots of pop but soft enough to access pop and be a little playful. Any suggestions?

[@markmorrison7342]

A lot depends on your height and weight. But possibly something like the Capita DOA

[@matthewpontifes7534]

@@markmorrison7342 thanks for the reply! My Dilemma is I’m 5’8 210lbs with size 8 boot. I tried the shorter and wider but my burton rulers have a smaller foot print. Would the capita doa be an all mountain specific board? I currently ride the Korua transition finder 154. Great charging board but not playful id say.

[@glub__blub]

I’m right there with you. Telos ranquet fills that slot for me currently but they stopped making it and I’m not sure what I’ll do when I break it

[@markmorrison7342]

@@matthewpontifes7534 nice! The T. Finder is a fun charger. The DOA would be a very playful board for you but I would look into the Capita Mercury as well if you’re looking for an all MTN board, with tons of pop and can still charge a bit as well. I think that would be right up your alley!

[@markfawcett9654]

@@glub__blub check out the Jones Stratos. Sort of more directional looking , but super, super versitile. or the capita navigator.

I have a Yes PYL Uninc 2025 on my radar for this season for a hard charging circle carves on gromers plus powder runs. I'm 6 tall and 210-220lbs with 10 size boots . Which size would you recommend . I'm rather advanced rider but I didn't have a hance to ride a board like that. Thanks a lot ;)

[@Riders_Lounge]

Hit the team over on Pateron! That's where members get detailed help !

[@gpaull2]

I’m 5’10”, 220, sz10. I went with the 161 and couldn’t be happier. Best all around board I’ve ever ridden. Effortless pow and holds an edge better than anything. The side cut disruptions don’t cause noticeable gray like some boards either. Only downside is riding switch, but it’s manageable too.

[@DenisSukhomlinov]

Are Canadian resorts open already?

[@Chris-cw8ey]

I'm 5'7 160lbs 8.5 boot. Pretty aggressive rider. What size mega death should I be looking at? Thanks!

[@Riders_Lounge]

157 or even the 159 if you subscribe to our rants about everyone needing longer boards !

[@jobkuperus]

6 foot 185 would be the 162 than?

[@Riders_Lounge]

@@jobkuperus yea , we do like riding this one long !
