I snowboarded for years and not going to lie.. i recently bought this board as my first ever board. Was a bit worried about people saying how stiff it was and it not being easy to make short turns or quick turns, but i didnt have a problem with it at all. I made quick turns and short turns with ease on this thing. Not to mention, it was my first time on a stiffer board and im in love. The stiffness adds so much more stability in high speeds and much more responsive. I love this board. But the top sheet does seem to be a scratch magnet..
Awesome to hear! I felt the same way with how stable it feels with its stiffness
Looks like you have the perfect board for the way you like to ride! Great conditions...awesome board!
That's exactly what it felt like. The perfect board has found me!
I picked this up earlier this year and was blown away by the stability at speed. This thing is great! I have had a little bit of hookiness in the nose when turning, I'm setting it back quite a bit for a big powder day tomorrow in Utah!
Awesome! De-tuning the contact points on the nose a little bit may help with the hooky feeling.
how did it do in the deep Pow?
@@steveroberts5366 It destroyed in pow! I've run this board through everything and it continues to deliver
@@matthewj7881 if you don't mind what are your specs?
Love the first turns on the new board and it looks like great conditions for it!!
Just a month left and I can get my first turns on my new ultra flagship!
Oh yeah! Can't wait to here how that board is for you
And how was it
I've ordered a Yes Warca yesterday. Can't wait to take it out on a few trips this season!
Nice, I got a few runs on that board but didn't get to ride it in any pow unfortunately.
@@SearchofSnowboarding Pow days are a rare sight (for most of us anyway). Enjoy the BSOD! I tried the Jones Aviator 2.0 which I reckon is in the same ball park and that was a beast to ride. You'll rip!
Love my 2023 bsod. But that top sheet is FRAGILE! Watch out in that lift line. So many chips already
Bummer, I haven't experienced that, mine's holding strong.
That snow looked bonkers, jelly. How fun.
Ya, one of my favorite pow days of the season!
You just made me super jealous! Man what beautiful pow pow. And I miss my BSOD. I have a Jones StormWolf now, which I also love but my first love was the BSOD and want her back! BTW, I didn't even need to hear your review part to know you loved this board! All I needed to hear to sell me on it, your laughter and screams during that ridiculous pow run!
Hahah, yup the 'yeeews' should say it all. Good thing is the BSOD isn't going anywhere, so she'll be ready when you are to go back to her
@@SearchofSnowboarding lmao! For sure. If that doesn't say it all without words.
Was really debating on grabbing the BSOD but ended up copping the "Kevin Backstrom" setup. 2023 CAPiTA Mercury with Atlas Pro bindings. Just set it up yesterday and can't wait to hit Powder Mountain tomorrow😎
Hell yeah, you'll be bombing with setup!
Would love to see a comparison between this and this Kazu!
Won't have access to a Kazu this year, but the biggest difference is the Kazu has a much larger sidecut so it wants to go straighter more often
This is exactly what I think im looking for. I have a shorter board for the park but its getting old and i think this years board should be a good pow/ all mountain
It's a ripper for sure, I love it
@@SearchofSnowboarding do you have any other suggestions for someone who is 240 lb 6'3 size 13 boot? I haven't ridden in about 10 years but I was an advanced rider. I'm looking for more of an all mountain board that will be good in powder, groomers and some jumps. I live in central New York so the resorts aren't very big. I may go to Killington vt here and there but not often. Sorry if that's too much information.
BSOD Straight Mobbin! 🏂💨 Keep slayin the content Shane! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yeahhh boi! I was hyped up this day for sure!
W for Highlands
Always!
Hey Bud, thoughts on Bsod vs Lib Dynamo?
Cool board/bindings 👍 excited just watchin, can't wait to try my new setup assassin pro with katanas 😋
Sweet, I rode that board for a while myself and loved it
just got mine today too with the stratas. got the 156 and got the red one, i wish it was the all black one but its cool.cant wait for monday
I actually think the red base is way cooler than the black. Let me know what you think of the ride!
Hello, my stratos got stolen and I loved it. How’s it compare to bsod? Can’t decide if I should replace the stratos or try bsod
@@romancetattoos Oh no, that sucks. The BSOD is going to have a longer and wider nose so it will ride in powder better. I obviously love it, and a lot of other people are stoked on it too, just look at other peoples comments on this video
That board looks awesome, what a great power day! Green Venom's are flying off the shelf :)
Woohoo!
I LOVE the black and pink! Always can find you!
That's the point, popping in the clouds!
The BSOD is one of the few boards I have EVER bought multiple times, 3 times to be exact. Super GREAT board! I know you LOVE the Storm Wolf too, which is now my favorite and go to. How does the BSOD compare, other than the obvious?
I think I've only had a few runs on the storm wolf a year or two ago, so not enough to really say/remember
@@SearchofSnowboarding I really like the Jones. It's good! But from everyone that has rode this year BSOD, they are LOVING IT! Even Avran! And he goes back and forth with this love hate for the BSOD. I think I will be adding this to the quiver! Must have a MOTHERSHIP board in the quiver at all times! LOL
Just picked up a DOA today! Can’t wait to try it out.
All right, exciting day! I like that board too
Just picked up a Mega Merc and looking forward to charging on it when I get to Snowmass in February. Coming out of a ‘19 Outerspace Living so looking forward to charging hard on the Mega Merc! Great video BTW!!
Sweet, that will be a great upgrade to help you push your skills further
Have you ridden 2024 Kazu Pro? I'd like to get a CAPiTA freeride board and I looking at 23/24 Kazu Pro, BSOD and Mega Death. Could you please tell me which one would be most approachable and least workout? Thank you.
I haven't ridden the 24 Kazu, sounds like they upgraded it this year though. The Kazu and BSOD are pretty aggressive. The Mega Death will be the easiest ride out of the three, most approachable and not work you too hard
Got the same exact setup. Super stoked to stretch its legs next week! Great vid
Hell yeah dawgie!
Regular one have black base and wide have red base?😁
@@andreisteau6595 They're just random, I've got the 159 with a red base
@@SearchofSnowboarding Red base looks much better, u are lucky💪🏻
Thanks for vid❤️
3:55 There's snow on the lens, no problem I'll clean it with a fat pow slash 😎🤙🏼
Love when that happens and the rest of the shot doesn't get ruined
Damn that looks awesome. So having ridden the Mega Death and the BSOD what would you recommend if $ was not an issue? Love the videos brotha
It really depends on the ride you're looking for, I've been loving riding both depending on how I want to ride. If I want to be bombing, riding faster, and have my board boat through choppier snow I'm grabbing the BSOD. If I want to be carving harder and have a more maneuverable ride
🤩 wow looks like surfing on snow 👏🏻 Awesome review.
Hopefully next time Mega Death 😎¿
For sure, Mega Death review coming as soon as our lifts start spinning!
Another cool video. Keep up the consistency boys.
Yeah dawgie, just trying to get better and better here
I’m surprised that board floats as well as it does. Doesn’t it only have something like 1.1mm of taper? Did you have to set the stance back at all?
No it's actually 1.1 cm which I think is the perfect amount. I had it set centered
Capita Mercury super stooked for the first time not having to rent ready to shred in Big Sky Montana.
Oh yeah, that's an exciting feeling. That should be a great board for that mountain!
My capita #bsod is my daily driver and all mountain slayer🤙🏽
Sweet! I'm excited for it to be mine too
Looks great. How does this compare to the Mega Merc and Lib Tech Orca? :)
Very different from both. More directional than the Mega Merc and different flex pattern, and more of a stiffer charger than the Orca
If you had to choose between the BSOD and the new Burton custom camber, which would you choose for an all mountain board? Just curious. Awesome video 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Thanks dude! BSOD 100%. The Custom has always been a great board but a directional board will most always be better for all mountain riding
@@SearchofSnowboarding thank you. I just got home from special ordering the custom. I'll pick up the BSOD next year for sure. Thanks for the awesome video. 🤘🤘
0:44 dude, I had a heart attack not gonna lie.
Haha, she all good
Locked in board but had some real issues outside of blower or packed powder. Edge was tough on hard packed to the point heel or toe sliding out of control. Wasn't for me.
Sick review. Keep the riding coming. Riding a Salamon dancehaul, Rome Ravine select, and neversummer proto ultra with the shock wave camber. Don't like the triple camber. Oh and for my rock board a Harpoon
Sounds like you've got a lot of prime picks. Thanks man!
Would this be a good complimentary board to my 158 custom camber? Really enjoy the custom but am looking for something just a tiny bit stiffer and floats better for pow. I was thinking of getting a 161? I’m light for my height at 6ft 155lbs and wear size 11 Burton Photons that make it tricky finding boards that are wide enough without being to much for my weight. I don’t live anywhere I can test out boards so I’m pretty much going off reviews and videos. Would this board be too similar to my custom or a nice choice/upgrade for the deeper days
Cool, this would be a great board to have too. Definitely different enough from the Custom to warrant having both. You might want to look at the 159 though, the 161 could be on the bigger side for your weight. I'm the same size as you and have been riding the 159
U still rocking this bad boy?
Hell yeah, one of my favorite boards. I'll be dropping more videos with the 2025 model this Fall
What size board was ridden? I can't decide between the 159 or 162
I was riding 159 on the BSOD
How do you compare this to the Mercury? Just spent 4 days on a 22/23 Merc and found it to be really twitchy at times, especially in variable snow conditions.
This board is different because of it's directionality, so not as easy to trick on. It's similar in how aggressive of a ride it is
Recommend degress on bindings? Dead center ?
Yeah I've found it's rides best mounting your width based off the reference stance
Just picked up a 2024 BSOD! Which bindings do you recommend? Looking at the new atlas pros.
Hell yeah! I loved riding the regular Atlas on the BSOD. The Pros would be sick too, I'm going to be riding those this year for the first time. We've got them available here: www.radioboardshop.com/union-atlas-pro-24.html
Love the review! I recently ordered a 162 BSOD, but I'm not sure if I should exchange it for a 159. I am 6 feet tall, weigh 186 pounds, and wear a size 10 boot. I mostly ride in Aspen, CO, and currently own a 156 Burton HTH and a 158 Jones Storm Wolf. Can you suggest which size of BSOD would be best for me? Do you think this board will complement my current snowboards? I was also considering the Capita Aeronaut, but was worried it might be too similar to my HTH. Thank you for your help, and see you on the slopes!
Both the 162 or the 159 would work for you, I weigh 150 and ride the 159. The 162 will be a little more stout. I may have suggested the 159 because it will be more similar to what you're used to riding. Regardless it will go great with your other boards and riding on Ajax. The Aeronaut is different from all these boards because it is softer and much narrower
@@SearchofSnowboarding Awesome, Thank you! Based on my current boards, would you recommend the Capita Aeronaut over the BSOD? These are the 2 boards I've narrowed it down to and I'm struggling to pull the trigger hahah
If you really like the two boards you have, you might find the Aeronaut will be a little too soft@@Sethy_P
Hi Shane, which size is suitable for your height/weight. Thanks!
I'm 6ft 150, I was riding the 159 last season because that's what I like. But for someone else my size I would suggest the 157
Gotta take my ride peacseeker out.
Hey man what angles are you running? I have a fairly duck stance right now but I've been thinking about trying a more directional stance for steeps and pow!
15, -15 22in. It's what my body is used to and comfortable with. I recently tested out more directional angles and it did not feel good for my body
@@SearchofSnowboarding Thanks man!
Do you know how it handles in hardpack / icy conditions ? Heard the aviator 2.0 was good for hardpack and crappy conditions ( which is all I seem to get atm). Should I be thinking about the bsod too ? Many thanks
It rips hardpack, the BSOD will probably be faster and have more elongated carves than the Aviator
@@SearchofSnowboarding brilliant thanks. Which would you say is going to punish me more if I’m having an easy half hour ?
Thanks
@@Durski1976 The BSOD
@@SearchofSnowboarding that’s great thanks. Looking for an all mountain ripper that I can play around on but something I can have an easy half hour or so every now and again, so probably aviator then ?
Thanks for all your help, love the channel btw
@@Durski1976 Yeah probably the aviator, you kind of need to ride the bsod hard all the time
Awesome vid! Would you mind providing some specs for the board size you are riding and your stance? Might help to provide your weight and height as well if you're not shy. :)
I'm 6ft 150 lbs and I ride 22in 15, -15. I'll probably start messing with a more of a positive rear angle some more this year though
@@SearchofSnowboarding What size board are you riding?
@@0moody0 159
@@SearchofSnowboarding do you normally ride a 159 or did you size up for this board?
@@electricneill I typically ride between a 157 and 159 depending on the board and the terrain
Hey bro, what cam are u using for ride?
The GoPro Max 360 camera
what camera did you use to record the vid...?
Go Pro Max, it's their 360 camera
Do they use animal products in those Edge protectors?
No, just silicone
Nitro Panera 169 wooohooo
Oh snap, that's a big boy!
Burton HTH vs BSOD? Thoughts?
Both are very similar and meant for the same type of riding. I'd say the BSOD is stiffer and the the HTH is turnier with more taper and a deeper sidecut. Can't go wrong with either
Thanks for the reply 🤙
Why does everyone say this board isn't for beginners?
It's because it is stiff and aggressive and meant to ride steep terrain fast
What makes you like it more then the mega merc?
The wide nose and taper make it float and carve better
Sweet!!! Love the edit, board, and turns!!! yewww! I don't like the name "board of Death" Sounds depressing. Keep it light Capita. Death is so 2020. : )
Yeah buddy! I think I like the name BSOD better too
Man, I wish this board just came a bit smaller for the lighter riders.
Good to know 👍
@@SearchofSnowboarding They did on the Mercury....if only.
Tuff vid fam! Rip some turn up at highlands for me don't forget to crash cloud 9 with the homies and give the microwaves something to talk about.
You know the deal! I'd rather just be spraying the microwaves
Fun deck until it gets icy.
I've been feeling a great hold in icy conditions on this board
@@SearchofSnowboarding I always felt like it was going to wash out on icier conditions but still it was a fun ride.
