Hey dude, loving these reviews.
Recently got the aeronaut partly down to your review. Absolutely live it, super quick, turns great and loads of pop!
looking to add a more playful board to the quiver next season and wanting something that is easier to mess around and butter on but still has good pop and carves decently.
Considering this and the yes greats, maybe the jackpot?...
How would you sum up the differences between those three? Any others I should consider??
Cheers bro!
Thanks! Yeah the Jackpot and Greats would be good, all three do seem pretty light overall. They are pretty interchangable, you could go for the Jackpot if you want something more standard/classic, or the Greats if you want the extra width which will probably help with the carving. As another option, the Huck Knife ruclips.net/video/WZI7hrOW8NQ/видео.html will do all that super well too. If you want super fun and easy to butter, the Bataleon Wallie ruclips.net/video/Pr8X1-pAcYY/видео.html . At least with the Wallie there is zero crossover with the boards, it is definitely a lot more playful. Won't carve as well as the others, but it is still possible.
Not sure if you have tried the Rome Party Mod but how do you think it compares to this Ride Zero? For a midwest rider, decent rider (15 years riding) 9.5 boots 175lbs mainly hitting 40% rails, 20% jumps, 40% bombing down the hill, or finding trees to ride through and rock drops. Any thoughts on which might be a better fit? Also, which one you think has more pop?
Just got a zero and i'm hyped to ride it in a couple days. I got a zero 161w cause I wanted a few more CMs in length than my favorite board, a '21 huck knife pro 158W (biggest size they make). I love the huck knife and the huck knife pro, I think the pro is just barely stiffer than the standard huck knife and almost identical to it overall in terms of feel... I know you've ridden a huck knife, how would you compare the huck knife to the zero? I'm just curious, which would you say you liked better and why? Love your straight forward reviews and videos. Thank you!
It's been ages since I have ridden the Huck Knife, but it did have a grippier (in terms of edge hold) feel, and a more springy and lively feel, especially at the start. Once it was broken it that all got reduced quite a bit, and it felt really soft. I've been on the Zero long enough now, and it hasn't really changed too much, other than getting a bit softer. The Zero has a damper feel, turns really nicely, and still does everything else pretty well.
It might be because it is my new board, but I do like it more than the Huck Knife - I think you'll be nicely surprised at how it rides.
Nice review! I have pretty much the same gear as yours. I have cartel, mercury, also looking for a more playful board just get zero, wondering whats your mercury length? Mine is 158, and just get a zero with 157w, would you recommend 155 over 157w?
Thanks! my Mercury is 157, I got it a tiny bit longer than what I normally ride to help a bit in softer snow/all mountain stuff. I went back to normal 155 with my Zero, but it all depends on your weight and if you want to trade off a little stability to make it easier to move around.
Hey, finding your reviews helpful man. What do you reckon of the zero vs the never summer protoslinger? How did you find skidding turns on the zero? is the camber pretty mellow?
I don't know why they keep calling "hybrid camber" to the normal camber, saying "with rocker at the nose and the tail", like if it was something special. Of course it has rocker at the nose and the tail. More or less distance between contact points, or more or less early rise of the rocker, doesn't make it "hybrid". Never Summer or Lib Tech, that's hybrid camber.
Although technically I get that any combination of camber and rocker is a hybrid, I agree with you and I would call anything with rocker between the feet and camber outside a hybrid.
I just like watching you ride dude and music is always on point
Great work as always! How is it like a daily driver? Is it good as a allmountain board as well?
Thanks! It's fine as a daily driver, though I found it is a bit soft for steeper/harder riding. Groomers and side hits were really nice, but I would go for something stiffer if you really like to ride fast.
How does this compare to the YES. Jackpot?
Thanks for this review! I have one myself and its so new its hard to hear about what others think about it on the mountain!
Nice! I really like mine the more I ride it.
Thanks for the review, was just considering buying this board! How would you compare it to the Burton Kilroy twin that you rode?
The Zero Feels a bit lighter, and a bit faster, other than that they a fairly similar overall.
@@SnowboardRobot perfect thanks man! So would you just say just grab whichever I can get a better deal on?
im a beginner looking to get into park, ive done side hit jumps and can 180, cant carve. im looking to become faster and ride more park and maybe a bit of pow too, would this be a good board for me?
Yep the Zero will be a good step up for you, it is a great park board. It won't do especially well in powder, but that is because it is a twin, but no park boards are going to be super good in powder anyway.
@@SnowboardRobot nice! thanks for the review, it was very helpful
How is the zero for a dedicated jib and small/medium jump board?
Pretty good - that sort of riding is exactly why I bought it actually. It struggles at speed for all mountain riding, but it is great in the park.
@SnowboardRobot I ended just getting the zero and the benchwarmer. The house is blowing them out or 240-250 bucks.
Hey good review and style. I have the 2020 Warpig and like it a lot for general mountain riding and doing easy jumps in sidehits and such. How would you compare the warpig with this one? I assume it is not volume shifted so it’s more of a regular lenght but I hope you can tell me how it feels. Thanks
Yeah it isn't volume shifted like the Warpig, just a regular width, but it does have the asym sidecut. The Zero turn quicker, has better edge hold and a more lively feel on small jumps and sidehits. For me it is a much nicer board than the Warpig.
@@SnowboardRobot good to hear. If I am not wrong you usually have the Mercury for your own riding. You have also tested the Capita Asymulator so how these 2 compare to the Ride Zero? The last one that I will bother you with is the Ride Algorythm, have you tried it? Thanks a bunch!
@@TommyTermens The Mercury is a big step up from the Zero - much faster and stiffer all around, so I find it is harder work to ride in the park, but does great everywhere else. The Asymulator and Zero are pretty similar overall, the Asymulator might have felt the tiniest bit lighter, but the Zero has a damper overall feel. Can't go wrong with either though really. I haven't been on the Algorythm yet, but it does look like something I would like.
@@SnowboardRobot I finally got the Jones Mountain Twin. Very happy with it. It does everything well so far.
What boot size
9.5
Thanks for the review. If you wanted a board softer than the mercury, why not the DOA? Thanks!
The DOA is too soft for me once it breaks in, and if I am going to get a twin, might as well be asym.
@@SnowboardRobot thank you! Have you tried the ride bench warmer?
I have similar riding preferences to you (I think). Mostly all-mtn/freeride, and have a Jones Flagship for that.
A little bit of park, but want to get more into freestyle and ride switch better.
Do you personally prefer the Zero or the Yes Greats?
Both seem similar, with the Greats being a bit stiffer.
Both are pretty good, though I would say the Zero feels a bit damper, while the Greats is a bit lighter an snappier. I can't really complain about the Zero at all, though if you were looking at Yes boards for more freestyle I would look at the Jackpot over the Greats - quicker and smoother to turn being a bit narrower.
@@SnowboardRobot Cheers thanks! Have a great season
I got the 155 zero and was deciding between the zero, Salomon villain and nitro t1. How do they compare and which do you think is better for park? Which do you like better
Oh nice, I've actually owned all of those boards, that doesn't happen too often. They are all good, you can't go wrong with any of them, but I do like the Zero the most, maybe because it is new, but I also like the asym sidecut, it does make regular turns feel a bit nicer.
@@SnowboardRobot thanks really appreciate the reviews
can u recomand this me for my fhirst snowboard ?
Yeah with the rocker on the nose and tail, it will be easy enough to ride as a first board, but isn't too soft so you won't grow out of it like you might on a full beginner board.
15+ years riding
i find that the zero doesn’t bite on snowment / icy snow . period.
How did you find it outside of that? You think it is just too soft? Cheers
Please ride the Ride Algorythm (Algorithm) please!!! :) Cheers!
I'll try and find one to ride
Thank you!!!
i cant find one any where plz help!!!
