I had a good laugh when you guys talked about having nowhere to truly test steeps at Mount Bachelor. There’s a reason why us locals call it Mount Flat-chelor 😂 Side note though, when you’re getting off Northwest, just head way off to the right as soon as you get off the chair(left when looking downhill). There’s some terrain over that way with some excellent drops if you know where to find them 😉👍🏼
Any recommendations for a retailer to purchase Amplid Boards? I was thinking of purchasing the Souly Grail. It’s late in the season, i don’t know if i should wait for the next iteration of that board…
I don't know of any in the states but you might be able to purchase directly from Amplid with very reasonable shipping. Many brands in the EU have super cheap shipping to the US.
@@thegoodridesnow ya that was my last resort, but i was hoping a shop in the states is carrying them. Edit: sorry, quick question. If you had to choose between the Amplid Souly Grail or the Korua Dart, which one would you choose and why? Ty.
Two massively different boards that are on different sides of the spectrum. I would have to know a lot more about what you are looking for in a board to help. If you want to give me the info I need to help you much better hit me here. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/ If you want a quick generalization. Dart- super tapered, set back directional and pretty much a pow and groomer snowsurfer. Souly Grail- Normal snowboard, minimal taper, centered ride and no where near as floaty in powder but carves super hard, rides fast and is softer.
@@thegoodridesnow i have no swallowtails in my quiver collection. So i am looking on that key characteristic in both boards, ignoring camber type, taper, radius sidecut, displacement from center, base type, weight, etc… My Quiver collection: 22-23 Neversummer Limited Edition Proto Ultra. 23-24 Capita Mega Merc. 23-24 Capita BSOD. 23-24 Bataleon Thumderbolt (broken core). 23-24 Nidecker Alpha APX. 23-24 Burton ConArtist. 23-24 Burton Double Dog 3D. 23-24 Nitro Team Pro Plus. 23-24 Nitro Beast. Essentially i have no ultra-light, Volume shifty and swallowtails boards in my collection. All the boards i have listed above, i have used them with the exception of the Nitro Team Pro. Sizes range from 158 to 162, and my stance is posi posi: 30 deg front, 21 deg back normal rider. I mainly focused on carving and now i am starting to learn jibbing. I consider myself to be in between intermediate to advanced in riding…
Souly isnt really a swallowtail. Your Beta APX is more of a swallowtail than the Souly. The Dart would be more unique to your quiver and better round it out

My aloha vibes is really good in the backcountry, it scrubbes speed fast when I’m in tight trees and floats great in the pow.
Thanks for your take.

yes...we know but that isn't steep to us and most riders out there. Thanks for the suggestion though.
