The Jones Mind Expander Snowboard is a surf inspired, directional all-mountain/powder board that brings a fun and unique feel to the approach of riding powder and freeride terrain. Featuring overall directional shaping blended with a centered stance and 20mm taper, the Mind Expander offers the exceptional float of a longer board in soft snow, and has a nimble twinnish feel on the hardpack. You'll also find 3D shaping and a surf rocker profile, which is a continuous rocker shape that has more bend in the longer directional nose. The Jones Mind Expander snowboard is an excellent powder snowboard with a unique feel and the versatility to tackle all mountain terrain with ease. Let me know what you think down below, thanks for watching.

Everything about this video is amazing, love how u talk with the amazing powder shots that I could watch for hours, probably gonna be a board I get soon
Like the visuals once again, blurred background, clear subject in center, mixed in with real world demos and pics popped in here and there!
Killin' it bro'!
Shred life!
I appreciate it man! Glad you notice all the details
Killed it for sure
Thanks TJ , brought the original Mindexpander after your previous review 2 years ago , on an end of season special . Agree its great for a surfy feel and has amazing float . I use it mainly in the Back Country carrying a 10 kg backpack so took the additional weight into account and decided to size up to 158. Have found I get lots of positive comments from other snowboarders when in resort ( Avoriaz , France ).
Loving this review format TJ. Quality combined with the ultra detail we have become accustomed to from you.
If I was to buy any Jones board Id say it would be this or the Mountain Twin.
Keep up the quality content brother.
And that front lip on the stair rail at Bear was beautiful 👌🤙
Nice to see the ankle is feeling better brother.
Just picked one up having wanted one since they were released originally - so psyched!!!!
That tree run at 2:25 was so dope
Love this board! Great review! I'm a size 12 boot and weight 230lbs so I picked up 166. I agree that the longer you go its not as nimble but it floats incredibly well. I tried swallow tail boards and I'll take the stability with the mind expander over the sharp quick turns of swallow tails. I own the Yes Greats 159 and I find myself picking up the Mind Expander more frequently even on non-powder days. Amazing board! 🙏🏾
broooo compared to your videos where your riding the storm chaser you were landing EVERYTHING on the mind expander. some of those drops in the trees were DOPE. I currently ride a slush slasher for the pow days but i want something that can handle some cliffs and drops in the pow and after watching this im definitely leaning towards scooping a mind expander. sick video bruh.
I bought this board today after struggling for a week in deep Swiss pow! 10 h before this video lol! I have to say seeing you using it in japow convinced me, I'll test it tomorrow myself, thanks!
Ah man thats awesome to hear! Glad I was able to help, enjoy the new board!
Oh man and he delivers! Thnx for the updated review, ready to pull the trigger on this one. Curious about your opinion
HI TJ, great vid, this is a great snowboard category for you that most channels do not do bc you ride the boards you are reviewing. You have a great talent to easily convey how the ride feels & handles due to how the board was purposely design built. Please do a vid on what all mountain, exploratory, progression type powder tree board you think is the best at being aggressive, nimble, maneuverable, playful, yet precise, stable at needling the nose and board down thru the tree line you choose rather than a boat floating thru type feeling.
Thank you I really appreciate that! I will keep that video idea in mind
Nice thanks been waiting onnthis. Im actually hyped on it
glad to hear man, thanks! your channel name is sick
Another dope review my man. 🤙🏼
This ting is great in powder! Thank you, Mr Jones and Mr Christensen!
Love your videos TJ!!!
Could you maybe also start reviewing splitboards?
Nice meeting you today in Bear Tj, thank you for chatting with me brotha, enjoy the rest of your trip.✌🏾
Great to meet you today man, hope you get some more solid days in this season
Took this board to Japan this year and was very impressed how it rode everywhere. Only issue we had was keeping wax on the 2 Jones boards.......
:)
I hope your ankle is getting better. Thanks for all the sick reviews.
Thanks Issmo, getting better everyday
I love the MEx!
Thanks for the great review, I don’t ride that much BC as you, so I gotta balance between Bc and on piste. Still deciding between this or Orca.
That tree run was sick mate.
Hey man I got an ultra mind expander and I would honestly love if you could do a review of it. There are reviews out there for it but none of them have footage of it being ridden which would really help me understand how I should ride it compared to the regular mind expander. Thanks so much for this review, it was super good.
Epic quality vid.
Love these 1st generation mind expanders
That board looks so fun! I just tested out a couple 2021 Never summer boards. Posted a harpoon video today honestly the most fun I've had on a snowboard. I wish I could do in depth reviews like you one day soon!
Sick! I want to ride all the Never Summers ASAP
Board Archive Super sick line up i’m stoked to cop the Harpoon. I need a “pow” board in my quiver
Yewww
Spot On Review, Bro! You are a Real Pro! If I didn’t already own two, I’d buy new one! #FACTS
✌🏿
Thanks for expanding my mind TJ! JAPOW!!!!!
Love ya brotha, get well soon!
Thanks Eddie
Damn...those were some tight trees!
Hey TJ, awesome review! I’m 5’9, 160 lbs. What size do you suggest?
The japow test wooooo
Hey if I'm 145lbs, do you think the 150 is good or the 154 would be better and more stable for pow and trees?
Got a chance to ride it and oh my gosh was it amazing
I want to try it
Did you set it all the way back or did you ride the recommended stance? Just wondering
how does it compare to the hovercraft 23? do they make a nike 2way quiver or overlap too much?
Have you tried jones stratos? How would stratos compare to mind expander?
Hey TJ, would u downsize the 158 after riding it?
How did those 2021 Atlas bindings feel tho?
TJ i’m looking at the 2019/2020 DOA and huck knife what would you recommend?
Huck knife is more fun all around freestyle, its a little bit softer and more jibby than the DOA with the rocker tips. The DOA is still an amazing all around park board and will do better for the rest of the resort
heard good things about this board!!
Yooooo
From who?
🤔😉
@@chuck__van loooool
Awesome review! TJ, what's the shortest size you'd ride this board yourself? Do you think it would be fun and still floating decently if you were to ride it in size 150 for exemple or 154 is where you'd draw the line?
I'm actually surprised he was riding a 158 for this. I think most other reviewers went down in size.
I don't think I would go below a 154 if I was buying this board for myself, but I think the 154 would still float really well!
@@Dwaje I could have downsized to a 154 with this board and I think it still would have been great, but I really enjoyed the 158
@@BoardArchive I've been told size up for pow float and down for play in the trees. I think you said it still had easy turn initiation so maybe if it was smaller the trees would've been better. Either way thanks for the review! I'm debating between the mind expander and the orca for a pow board right now
You got some solid advice 👍🏼
I noticed something strange. Jones was founded in 2010, but only came to view in the past 2 years. How come? they have epic boards.
Marketing. I've been a huge fan of Mr Jones and just found the brand 3yr ago. Their pack and board bag are amazing. Really want to demo this board this season and prolly buy 1 after
Would you do the mtn twin?
yes
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.great
but did ur mind expand?
🤯🤯🤯
