I got the Dynamiss (women’s version) based on your past review and from your recommendation through the live stream (thanks Angry). I freaking love this board. Your description of “all mtn free ride with freestyle flair” 💯 also yes, this thing plows through ev-ery-thing If any of you is thinking bout it, just get it.
Is this volume shifted at all? Im looking at getting one for my wife but dont know what size because they dont have weight ranges in the size charts online.
My daily-driver here in northern VT. Such a fun board, and it’s true; it’s a Swiss Army knife- rails carves (& I came up riding PJ’s with Megaflexes in the late 80’s/early 90’s), loves sidehits, floats pow, and never gets bogged down. I’d back a sintered base version though, and I do love Mervin, but get some structure into that base!
Bought this board last year based on your review. My go to for steep pow and trees. I am not a fan of most lib techs cambers, but the C3 on this board is magic to me.
Picked up the Dynamo on your recommendation 2 seasons ago and it crushes any conditions on the Ice Coast, especially icy hard pack…….last year when we actually had snow.
6’0”, 200 LBS, 10.5 boot riding northern VT mountains, generally in the trees and sometimes carving on groomers. Can’t decide between the 59 and 62 - recommendation? Currently on a 162 TRS and enjoying it a lot Thanks angry!!
Thanks for another great review. Keep on, Keepin On. The weather has made the change to winter temps average temps this week is in the low 30's Let it snow let it snow let it snow..
Just bought this board went from a Custom 158w Flying V. It rides amazing, floats on powder and cuts thru ice! I love going back and fourth from switch and it does very well for a slightly directional board. Curios about how it does on rails, but we shall see. Can’t wait to hit more mountains with it.
Hey bud, I just picked this thing up too, and also coming from a 2013 custom Flying V. I’m switching boards because the custom felt very unstable at speed as well as extremely loose on hardpacked/Icey trails. Would you say this board is better than the custom in those areas?
@@louenos5715 just rode 7 days in Colorado in all conditions and it’s one of the best all around boards I’ve ever ridden. Copper was particularly icy and it cuts so well. Ice is no match for this board if you’re used to ice. I’m from the NE so I’m used it.
Just bought a 2024 yesterday. Went with the NOW IPO bindings. Now waiting for snow to actually have some thoughts, but I think my local shop has not steered me wrong. Can't wait for winter.
Good morning, sounds like a fit for my riding; but I'm only a solid intermediate, maybe plus, so it may be a bit too much board for me, not sure. I'm also looking at the Jones Frontier. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ( I mainly like carving, exploring, and venturing off piste. icy resort. I like the smashing the crusted chunder qualities of a boar.)
I demo'd a bunch of mervin boards last year. Generally I prefer full camber, but I try to keep an open mind. For the most part, I don't like the c2 and C3 boards because they feel too loose. They want to skid turns rather than carve. This one locks in on-edge a lot easier than the other c3 boards I tried. It is smooth and feels solid at high speeds. I think it's a great choice for somebody who isn't religiously dedicated to full camber and also likes the mage-traction. Great board!
@@SheldonKreger I got the gremlin last year. Love it. Carves and pops like a dream. Careful on sizing, though, with the volume shift. I got the 155 and at my size (165lbs) it's a bit much. Tried a 152 and liked it a lot more, fwiw.
5’9 175 IBS Size 10.5 boot. Riding The Ice Coast (VT & NH) Looking for a hard charger that can bomb down the hill, carve fluently, hold its own on the groomers/icey days. Stuck between the 156 or even a 159 for more stability while bombing the hill. I normally ride 154-155.
No one mentions how wide these come. The 159w is the same width as a 172w skunk ape, a 166w custom etc.. It loves to carve. My only complaint is the base but it got better once I added some structure.
The dynamo is incredible compared to other boards in the line. I really think the thick textured topsheet adds to the longevity of the board. Aged Libtechs are notoriously floppy yet my 2021 dynamo is still ripping. From all the Jones, K2 and Lib/gnu I've tried this board is about as powerful as one can feel while still being "playful." A great progressional board for a intermediate rider looking to grow. In the hands of an advanced rider this is a scalpel that won't fight back. In short, dont buy this board, keep it cheap for me.
Whaddup Avran? Looking to pick this up, wondering what size you'd recommend. I'm about 175lb, 5-11 & have a size 9.5 boot. I got a gremlin in a 52 last year off your recommendation and absolutely loved it (thank you kindly) but heading to Silverton this year though so wanted to make sure I wasn't under gunned. Thanks for the recs man, been watching the vids for a few years now, they're great
@@AngrySnowboarder Ah fair point 'ole n+1 equation is always right. But got 80 days on the gremlin, not sure if it'll last me through the rest of this season so wanted the next board to be a replacement that could do both. Live and ride in Maine so powder days are far and few between.
Looking to add a tight tree ripper. I daily a Custom X and Endeavor Live. Too much overlap w the Dynamo? Also looking at the Mercury, Instrument, and Dropout. Appreciate any input. Great channel
Looking for a direct comparison to the K2 Passport, are they essentially the same ride and feel with a slight edge hold going to the Dynamo and a slightly better float going to the passport? Both look awesome and I am torn. Sizing for the Dynamo I am looking at either the 159 or the 162 and pretty much locked on the 160 for the passport. ~210LBs 9.5 boot
No. The Dynamo is a damper ride with less reactivity from the carbon in it meaning it doesn't have as much snap and power out of a deep carve. The nose is a hair stiffer on the Passport but that can send kinetic vibrations back when you charge into uneven terrain.
I work at a shop in Bend and just picked up the new Dynamo. Was riding the stump ape 163 all season last year (in the few powder days we had) but I rode our Dynamo demo the rest of the time. Loved it, that's why I bought it. I've been running Rome DOD but am thinking cartel x. Thoughts?
Is the board good at skidded turns if you want it to ir will it fight you/be catchy? Is it possible to relax on this board or do you always have to be Ontop your game?
This or a K2 passport? Leaving towards the Dynamo.. 5'10 200 lbs. Riding an old gnu carbon credit series and would call myself an intermediate to advanced rider. Really getting into a more freeride type of riding with tree runs and what not, but I still love hitting jumps in the park and just getting air anywhere I can as well. So I'm looking for a do everything type of board that can handle New England ice and yearly trips out west. Recs? Open to others as well. Was thinking maybe a capita mercury?
I am going to pick this up. I wont be spending anytime in the park, I will do some low key freestyle stuff around the mountain, but primarily just looking to make some hard turns. (Mid 40s dad) I am torn between the Union Strata or Bent Metal transfer to go with it.... The transfer is in a pacakge deal at EVO so roughly the same cost for either set up. Thoughts?
What size would I need for it to be playful for busting side hits and blasting off rollers, trees, PNW pow days but still charge hard when I want? 140, 5’8 9.5 boot size. 153?
Hi Angry, i want to buy the new version of it 2024/2025, i'm inter+ level, 86 kg, 190cm and boot size 11.5, i hesitate a lot between the 162w and 165w, which one you recommand ? it's for all mountain ride. Thank a lot for your review
Hi angry, Im 180lb 5'7", 10.5 boots. I have a 153 orca and love the nimbleness in arms up tight trees and width for deep layed over carving. I'm looking at a dynamo for a twinish, poppy side hitter that does layed over deep carves. Would you go 156w or 159? Is this the right board?
Thanks for the reviews Angry. I'm looking at either this or the K2 Passport - both in 59W - riding a mix of everything with a focus on riding sidecountry / inbounds off-piste. Which one of these boards has better float in powder, and which one has better edge hold in carves and on ice? I mostly ride a Jones Solution but looking for a fun solid board.
Thanks for the review, I'm stuck between the t.rice pro and dynamo, I'm intermediate and like to charge down groomers, side packs and small amount of park, I'm 5ft 10, 80kgs, boot size us 12. Which board and size you think will be best for me please. Thanks
How would you compare this to the T rice pro? I have a 157W pro but just bought a 159 dynamo based off your review. I also been wanting to replace the pro. I’m 6’1 185lbs and a size 11 boot. You think a 159 was the right call? Thanks!
Just got the Dynamiss after eyeing it the past couple years, any recs on women’s bindings? I have Lexa X’s (same as Cartel X’s) I could swap back and forth from another board but not sure how they’ll suit the Dynamiss.
I appreciate all the reviews and videos you put out as someone new to the sport! I’ve got 3 days under my belt and am ready to stop renting and buy a a board. Do you think this board or a Jones Frontier would be good options for me? Not interested in park riding, want to get into backcountry stuff as I get experience and take an avy course. Will be riding in WA state.
@@AngrySnowboarder that is exactly what I wanted to know thank you. What size rec for the frontier at 6’2”, 185lbs, and US 12.5 snowboard boot 158w or 161w?
Way softer, more nimble edge to edge. Less aggressive of a load due to the dip in the middle of the C3 vs the profile on the Antidote. Edge hold on firm snow is better on the Dynamo. Basically Antidote if you want to charge and want some locked in serious camber, Dynamo for being more laid back.
If I’m wanting one do-it-all resort board, what would you recommend between this Dynamo and the Orca? I don’t do terrain park stuff at all and am mainly interested in bombing and carving runs; more freeride I guess.
Hey Angry, I’m debating between the 156 or 159 Dynamo….I’m 5’9” - 185lbs - 9.5 boot. Looking to use this as my hard pack go everywhere board…bombs the steeps by myself and cruise the mellower stuff with my kids. What is your thought?
Hmm torn between this or the banked country! You advised me to go for the banked in a 159 with bootsize 10(us), 178cm and 70kg. If I was to consider the Dynamo, what size would you say suits me better? 156 or 159? Thanks in advance! Great review as always!
@@AngrySnowboarder Update for other readers. Decided getting the Dynamo cause i found a nice deal and the flagship was way too expensive. After ~10 days of riding this thingy I can safely say I simply love every inch of it. Thanks for the review!
Hey, I ride in Burton cartel bindings and ruler boots, Uk size 10/US 11.. would you recommend the wide board or regular. Pretty sure my 10yr old T.rice pro is a 164.5w
How does this ride compared to the TRS? The Dynamo is the closest thing (I think) to the TRS that my local shop has available to demo. They also have a Skunk Ape, Stump Ape, T. Rice Pro and E-Jack Knife. Want to get a feel for C3 and see if the stiffness, pop, dampness, etc that I'm looking for but can take into the park for jumps. Want to replace my DOA with a true twin that handles jumps well but can also charge hard on the rest of the mountain and blow through chunder.
So this is more all mountain freeride than freestyle and the TRS is noticeably stiffer. It'll handle what you're looking for but realize it's not going to be a true twin.
@@AngrySnowboarder Okay that makes sense. In terms of stiffness, where does the TRS fall between a regular DOA and a BSOD (I have one of the stiffer versions, 2019 I think), just for frame of reference?
@@AngrySnowboarder Got it thanks. Would the 154 fit size 10 boots? I saw in your TRS review you said you rode it in 155 but looks like the 154 or 157 are my options.
I’m 5’8, about 190lbs and wear 10.5 Thirtytwo tm2 boot and currently ride the Jamie Lynn 156. Thinking of this for more of a daily driver and better edge hold. What size do you think is best? I am not sure if I should do the 156w or the 159. I don’t want to boot out and I also don’t want to do too wide where it’s not as nimble edge to edge.
hey Angry. Can't decide between this, Kazu, or BSOD. Experienced rider in the PNW. Love to hit kickers & side hits but charging pow and variable daily also. What do you think?
After having this board a year and a half, the only thing i think could definitely be improved upon is the base. Really wish it was sintered instead of extruded, doesnt like hold wax. Otherwise I love it
I love mine too, but 💯… also kind of sucks spending money on a stone grind for brand new deck just to have some structure in the base. My only gripe with Mervin
How’s it going Angry respect the hell out of your reviews! I’m torn between the Dynamo and the new TRS with the C3. I like the twin profile in the TRS but Ive heard nothing but good about the Dynamo. I’m 39 and love carving and just bombing down the mountain. Not into doing any tricks just holding an edge. Which would you go with? I’m 6’2” 220lbs with a 14 boot so I was thinking 160w on either one.
Heard the dynamo is getting reshaped for 2025? Have you gotten a chance to look at one in person or get any info on the incoming model compared to the outgoing model? Still looking to replace my warden but kinda loved how it felt like a more compliant lib rig when I wasn’t giving it my all.
The carve dynamics are different as it's not a volume shifted board. It has a little less power out of the tail but a smoother long haul carve if that makes sense. Dampness it's very similar to the Gremlin.
Thanks for your review. This board sounds super fun! I’m deciding between the Dynamo and the GNU Gremlin for tree runs, powder, and side hits. Just curious which board you would recommend?
Did you pull the trigger? What size did you get and how was the heal and toe overhang ? I’m 5’8” 140 and 9.5 boot. I feel like 153 would be too narrow for a 9.5 but angry and lib say that’s my size. Lmk if you got any input from your size 9 on a 150
I’m torn between this board and the black snowboard of death. I normally hit utah, So the powder is deep. I’m 6’6 220 I currently ride a K2 turbo dream and love it. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
Yo, I'm an intermediate rider who has just bit the bullet and bought myself some gear. One of my family friends just sold me a near-new dynamo as my first board for a very good price (I don't live somewhere that has a local snow shop). What should I expect this thing to ride like as a newer rider? You mentioned that this thing will eat you alive if you're new to butters, what's it gonna do to someone who's only just dialed in the fundamentals?
Hey Angry,I’m riding a gnu impossible that still has life because I only get 5-10 days a year but I’ve had it since 2015 and I’m thinking about a new ride. Would the dynamo be better,worse or about the same?
Thanks for the reply. Not that it means it’s remarkable,but at the time it was one of their most expensive boards. I bought mine on sale in the summer. I’ve enjoyed riding it but I’m guessing you think the dynamo would be an improvement?
I pretty dead set on getting this board, im just torn between the 153 and 156. I'm 5'8" and 165lbs with size 10.5 boot. I've been riding 155 and 156 for the last 6 years but have been wanting to try size down, will I regret the 153?
I’m looking at this the terrain wrecker or Capita osl. I like to carve go fast hit jumps some powder days when it does actually snow (I’m on east coast ) please help
@@AngrySnowboarder I’ve come down to terrain wrecker or Capita mercury . Which would you choose out of these two? I don’t wanna get a “lesser board “ then have to upgrade next year . Im between beginner- beginner intermediate. Like I said, I like to hit jumps, go fast and carve . Bought a season pass and want to get into jibs
Been riding Attack Bananas for years until they discontinued the model. Is the Dynamo the closest model now to the Attack Banana? Its seems similar. Thx
Everything about this board seems like just what I'm looking for. My one concern, which may be completely stupid, is that it doesn't have a sintered base. Should that deter me? Is there something with nearly identical characteristics that does have a sintered base?
Rode the 65w today and this board has some serious grip and is extremely fast. Pretty sure I should have gotten the 59w or 62w though as it’s feels like I’m driving a race bus.
I am an east coast rider, lotsa ice. I used to be able to ride but took 20 years off. I am thinking the Dynamo or Gremlin. Mostly carving, some playing, no parks. 5'9" 175. Which one you think? Thanks, I will use link for your knowledge!

Definitely too much overlap. Out of the other choices only one that stands out would be the Instrument.

Does Full camber and Full magnatraction make this grabby through the arc of a carve in soft or slushy snow? Anybody experience that:)

Yes
Hi Angry! I'm 5'4, 140 lbs, size 8.5, do you think the 150mm will be too much for me? The weight range just says 80+, so it's pretty vague.
No

@@AngrySnowboarder thank you bro
What would you say is the better board for carving and popping off side hits. Lib Tech Dynamo or Gnu Gremlin?
Carving it's the Gremlin, popping it's kind of a tie. You get more tail with the Dynamo which is nice.
How would you compare this to the T rice pro? I have a 157W pro but just bought a 159 dynamo based off your review. I also been wanting to replace the pro. I’m 6’1 185lbs and a size 11 boot. You think a 159 was the right call? Thanks!
You’re golden. It’s more stable, has more snap, and will carve better.

Just got the Dynamiss after eyeing it the past couple years, any recs on women’s bindings? I have Lexa X’s (same as Cartel X’s) I could swap back and forth from another board but not sure how they’ll suit the Dynamiss.
They'll work.
I appreciate all the reviews and videos you put out as someone new to the sport! I’ve got 3 days under my belt and am ready to stop renting and buy a a board. Do you think this board or a Jones Frontier would be good options for me? Not interested in park riding, want to get into backcountry stuff as I get experience and take an avy course. Will be riding in WA state.
This is too much board for you, go look at that Frontier.
@@AngrySnowboarder that is exactly what I wanted to know thank you. What size rec for the frontier at 6’2”, 185lbs, and US 12.5 snowboard boot 158w or 161w?
58w.
How does the Dynamo compare to the K2 Antidote? I dig this shape and C3 profile.
Way softer, more nimble edge to edge. Less aggressive of a load due to the dip in the middle of the C3 vs the profile on the Antidote. Edge hold on firm snow is better on the Dynamo. Basically Antidote if you want to charge and want some locked in serious camber, Dynamo for being more laid back.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks Angry, much appreciated.
If I’m wanting one do-it-all resort board, what would you recommend between this Dynamo and the Orca? I don’t do terrain park stuff at all and am mainly interested in bombing and carving runs; more freeride I guess.
Dynamo.
Thanks!
Never tried mervin c3 profile before but I like the looks of this one.😎
Hey @angry could you help me out. 5’9 135 lbs. 10.5 boot. What should I get
That 10.5 is going to need at least a midwide, not sure the 53 is wide enough.
Hey Angry, I’m debating between the 156 or 159 Dynamo….I’m 5’9” - 185lbs - 9.5 boot. Looking to use this as my hard pack go everywhere board…bombs the steeps by myself and cruise the mellower stuff with my kids. What is your thought?
59.
Hmm torn between this or the banked country! You advised me to go for the banked in a 159 with bootsize 10(us), 178cm and 70kg. If I was to consider the Dynamo, what size would you say suits me better? 156 or 159?
Thanks in advance!
Great review as always!
59.
What do you recommend for a 67 kg rider, 1.70 tall and intermediate level boot size 8? would the 156 fit?
Definitely.
Hey Angry. Heading out to Breck on New Years. Any recommendations on where to get some structure on the base?
Pups glide shop or Lonestar.
How does this compare to Jones Flagship? I'm shopping for a second board in my quiver (I currently have a Huck Knife) for doing more offpiste and pow.
More damp, less aggressive on edge when carving, camber profile loads different.
@@AngrySnowboarder Update for other readers. Decided getting the Dynamo cause i found a nice deal and the flagship was way too expensive. After ~10 days of riding this thingy I can safely say I simply love every inch of it. Thanks for the review!
Hey, I ride in Burton cartel bindings and ruler boots, Uk size 10/US 11.. would you recommend the wide board or regular. Pretty sure my 10yr old T.rice pro is a 164.5w
Wide
Cheers dude..🤘
Stiffer tail on the Gnu 4x4 or Lib Tech Dynamo? Any board recs for something similar to the Dynamo with a softer tail?
Pretty similar. You might like the hyper.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks! The hyper is on my radar too
It seems that you really like this board. I would like to know what's in your quiver one day and your most ridden boards. Thanks Avran!
I own a Ride Shadowban 57, 53 Rome Party Mod, and 58w Endeavor Archetype.
@@AngrySnowboarder thank you! Can't wait to see what would be your next board after the shadowban for next season.
It'll probably be the Shadowban, it's not in bad shape I should be able to get at least another season out of it.
@@AngrySnowboarder Shadowban went on sale and I just picked up one and sold my Capita OSL that I have used once. Do you think it was a good move?
How does this ride compared to the TRS? The Dynamo is the closest thing (I think) to the TRS that my local shop has available to demo. They also have a Skunk Ape, Stump Ape, T. Rice Pro and E-Jack Knife. Want to get a feel for C3 and see if the stiffness, pop, dampness, etc that I'm looking for but can take into the park for jumps. Want to replace my DOA with a true twin that handles jumps well but can also charge hard on the rest of the mountain and blow through chunder.
So this is more all mountain freeride than freestyle and the TRS is noticeably stiffer. It'll handle what you're looking for but realize it's not going to be a true twin.
@@AngrySnowboarder Okay that makes sense. In terms of stiffness, where does the TRS fall between a regular DOA and a BSOD (I have one of the stiffer versions, 2019 I think), just for frame of reference?
That 2019 is super close to the new TRS in terms of flex. The TRS is more damp though.
@@AngrySnowboarder Got it thanks. Would the 154 fit size 10 boots? I saw in your TRS review you said you rode it in 155 but looks like the 154 or 157 are my options.
What size would I need for it to be playful but still charge hard when I want? 180lb, 5’11 8.5 boot size
56
I’m 5’8, about 190lbs and wear 10.5 Thirtytwo tm2 boot and currently ride the Jamie Lynn 156. Thinking of this for more of a daily driver and better edge hold. What size do you think is best? I am not sure if I should do the 156w or the 159. I don’t want to boot out and I also don’t want to do too wide where it’s not as nimble edge to edge.
I'd get the 59.
@@AngrySnowboarder Appreciate it thank you!
hey Angry. Can't decide between this, Kazu, or BSOD. Experienced rider in the PNW. Love to hit kickers & side hits but charging pow and variable daily also. What do you think?
Any of those will work.
I know there not your favorite profile but would you do a top 5 rocker/rocker dominate boards?
😬
No
After having this board a year and a half, the only thing i think could definitely be improved upon is the base. Really wish it was sintered instead of extruded, doesnt like hold wax. Otherwise I love it
I love mine too, but 💯… also kind of sucks spending money on a stone grind for brand new deck just to have some structure in the base. My only gripe with Mervin
Wax? Give this sucker a stone ground structure.
Does this “mild” c3 profile ride like burtons v wing? Not a fan at all of how loose the v wing feels.
No
How would you compare this to the Telos Mike Ranquet? I assume the Ranquet isn’t as damp based on the review. Thanks!
This is stiffer, more aggressive on edge, more damp, better in chop and chunder, little less pop though.
@@AngrySnowboarder Any other boards with what you’d call “super-snap” that fit in the same category as the dynamo?
Ride Deep Fake.
How’s it going Angry respect the hell out of your reviews! I’m torn between the Dynamo and the new TRS with the C3. I like the twin profile in the TRS but Ive heard nothing but good about the Dynamo. I’m 39 and love carving and just bombing down the mountain. Not into doing any tricks just holding an edge. Which would you go with? I’m 6’2” 220lbs with a 14 boot so I was thinking 160w on either one.
Dynamo
Ok appreciate that brotha. And what about between the dynamo and Lib Rig which one would you choose? I’m liking the sintered base on the Rig.
Whichever one validates your buying decision.
Hey what are your thoughts about this board compared to the nitro dropout?
It's more directional, more damp, has a different camber profile, sidecut, and flex.
Heard the dynamo is getting reshaped for 2025? Have you gotten a chance to look at one in person or get any info on the incoming model compared to the outgoing model? Still looking to replace my warden but kinda loved how it felt like a more compliant lib rig when I wasn’t giving it my all.
We'll have a review for it in the fall.
5'10 189lbs....size 11 boot. I seem to be in between regular and wide with this board. Which should I go with?
Wide, more stability.
I plan to get normal 159, not wide. It should handle an 11 boot fine at 257 waist width.
I take this board in the park and it handles it just was well as anything else.
How does this compare to gnu gremlin.
The carve dynamics are different as it's not a volume shifted board. It has a little less power out of the tail but a smoother long haul carve if that makes sense. Dampness it's very similar to the Gremlin.
Would this be a good board for a new intermediate. I’ve ridden about 14 times so far
Shouldn’t be a first choice.
Thanks for your review. This board sounds super fun! I’m deciding between the Dynamo and the GNU Gremlin for tree runs, powder, and side hits. Just curious which board you would recommend?
I'd probably go with the Dynamo as it's a bit more versatile.
Awesome, thank you!
So stoked to try this board! Forgot to ask, I’m 5’8 150 lbs with size 9 boot, could you help with sizing rec?
50 since tree runs seem to be the priority.
Did you pull the trigger? What size did you get and how was the heal and toe overhang ? I’m 5’8” 140 and 9.5 boot. I feel like 153 would be too narrow for a 9.5 but angry and lib say that’s my size.
Lmk if you got any input from your size 9 on a 150
Bent metal transfer or now select pro bindings on this board for all mountain riding?
Your choice.
I’m torn between this board and the black snowboard of death. I normally hit utah, So the powder is deep. I’m 6’6 220 I currently ride a K2 turbo dream and love it. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
This will feel more similar in flex to your Turbo Dream but be more damp. Bsod will charge harder and have more snap.
Anything change from 22/23 to this year 23/24 season?
Graphic.
Yo, I'm an intermediate rider who has just bit the bullet and bought myself some gear. One of my family friends just sold me a near-new dynamo as my first board for a very good price (I don't live somewhere that has a local snow shop). What should I expect this thing to ride like as a newer rider? You mentioned that this thing will eat you alive if you're new to butters, what's it gonna do to someone who's only just dialed in the fundamentals?
HAHAHA welcome to the learning curve.
@@AngrySnowboarder Ahaha you're making me keen to eat some shit 🤙
Local shops only have this in a 159w.
Sitting at a size 10. Never ridden a W board. Curious how noticeable of a difference that 1cm would make.
More stability, little slower edge to edge, better pow float.
Hi Angry. Need your help. 162 or 162W? Shoe size 10 K2 Ender, weight 178lbs.
Worried because of the tapper.
Thx
If you're worried grab the wide, peace of mind is priceless.
Thx man!! Keep up your work. Love what you’re doing!!
Hey Angry,I’m riding a gnu impossible that still has life because I only get 5-10 days a year but I’ve had it since 2015 and I’m thinking about a new ride. Would the dynamo be better,worse or about the same?
I don't even remember what the impossible is.
@@AngrySnowboarder Twin all mountain free ride Camber, rocker, camber, medium flex. EC2PBTX(whatever the fuck that means)
So basically something unremarkable.
Thanks for the reply. Not that it means it’s remarkable,but at the time it was one of their most expensive boards. I bought mine on sale in the summer. I’ve enjoyed riding it but I’m guessing you think the dynamo would be an improvement?
Many of your size recommendations seem to be to go longer rather than shorter. Does the Dynamo have a shorter effective edge than other boards?
Go look at the spec sheet yourself.
I pretty dead set on getting this board, im just torn between the 153 and 156. I'm 5'8" and 165lbs with size 10.5 boot. I've been riding 155 and 156 for the last 6 years but have been wanting to try size down, will I regret the 153?
Get the 56
Is this a good ice coast board?
Does it fit your needs and riding style? Yes? Then sure. No? Probably want something else.
I’m looking at this the terrain wrecker or Capita osl. I like to carve go fast hit jumps some powder days when it does actually snow (I’m on east coast ) please help
Are you a intermediate rider? Yes? Then you don’t need the dynamo get one of the other two. No? Then get the dynamo.
@@AngrySnowboarder I’ve come down to terrain wrecker or Capita mercury . Which would you choose out of these two? I don’t wanna get a “lesser board “ then have to upgrade next year . Im between beginner- beginner intermediate. Like I said, I like to hit jumps, go fast and carve . Bought a season pass and want to get into jibs
@@MrArjay123 Get the Outerspace Living then.
@@AngrySnowboarder im 5ft6 175-180 depending on the day what size should i get? 154 ok?
just went with a 154cm capita OSL with union str bindings (package deal on evo for black fridaY) with 32lashed boots
Been riding Attack Bananas for years until they discontinued the model. Is the Dynamo the closest model now to the Attack Banana? Its seems similar. Thx
Kind of.
Going to Buy One
Everything about this board seems like just what I'm looking for. My one concern, which may be completely stupid, is that it doesn't have a sintered base. Should that deter me? Is there something with nearly identical characteristics that does have a sintered base?
Oh no the board that's made of wood and plastic doesn't have the plastic I want on it to slide on the snow. Get it structured you'll be fine.
How does the TNT base compare to the sintered base? Is it really that “bad”?
Depends who you ask.
If it’s good enough for Austin Sweetin it’s surely good enough for the rest of us.
@@mudonsunday hahaha, fair enough!
not horrible but it’s noticeable if you’re coming from sintered
@@kitzcaleb I rode it for 5 days, TBH, I was faster than friends who rode sintered based boards lol
Hopefully Austin new rig will have an upgraded base
Just bought this board and someone took it the second day out 😅
Must be a good one
They stole it?
That sucks.
That's fucked..
Please review the off ramp whenever you get the chance 🙏
It's on the list of boards to grab next week.
@@AngrySnowboarder can’t wait, appreciate it
Nice Bromigo..>Real nice bro...
Nolan that's jacked
"Do it I dare you, you wont"
Dude I ride a dynamo at alyeska ruts are all we have
Rode the 65w today and this board has some serious grip and is extremely fast. Pretty sure I should have gotten the 59w or 62w though as it’s feels like I’m driving a race bus.
Pretty similar to the gnu 4x4?
No.
More GNU Antigravity I would say...
I am an east coast rider, lotsa ice. I used to be able to ride but took 20 years off. I am thinking the Dynamo or Gremlin. Mostly carving, some playing, no parks. 5'9" 175. Which one you think? Thanks, I will use link for your knowledge!
Dynamo is going to be an easier return to snowboarding deck than the Gremlin to ride.
how do u like the public statement?
Really digging the Public boards in general.
How does this compare to the Burton custom camber?
More directional, tapered, magnetraction, heavier construction, doesn't have ICS, it's a completely different board.
