Kazu or Mega Death, do you have an opinion on the main difference on the use. I looking for a All-montain / Resort board. I also have the Burton Custom X in mind... to many boards :P
I think the Mega Death over both of those. Mega Death has more fun of a shape imo that makes turning and carving better than the Kazu, although I have yet to ride that board And the Custom X is not that fun of a ride for most people.
Great video! Shane, have you ever tried Nidecker Gamma APX? If yes whats your opinion in the board game? Thanks!
Thanks! I have yet to ride any Nidecker board
I sadly I lost interest when you got to the sizes offered. 😔 But then you made the recommendation that they offer it in a full size lineup. 🎉😂Maybe 2026. I am for sure not getting taller. I have a "Super Pig" in my size for this year
We'll be pushing for more sizes for it
Arrived today. With my Mystery Hometown Hero and Jones Freecarver 600s..I think I am done spending money on boards for a few years! Love the fact (and consistency) that the MD & Mystery HTH are almost identical weight wise!
Oh Hell Yeah, you're gonna be ripping everywhere for a long time with that quiver! Badass!
Did you get a chance to ride the 2025 Solomon Assassin Pro? Curious to hear your thoughts on that board since they made some changes!
I haven't, we'll see if I can get my hands on one this year
I just started snowboarding and going on my first ski/snowboard vacation in January in Austria. Gonna rent my board, but if I enjoy it a lot, I'm definitely getting my own board. Probably not this one yet though😅
Sweet, have fun! Yeah maybe keep this on eon the list for a couple years down the road
How does it compare to the K2 Alchemist? Been wanting something similar without the floppy nose
I haven't ridden that board, but I also haven't found any board that is similar to the Mega Death, it's a special one
Always rose my BSOD..................UNTIL I got my hands on the Megadeath. Un-real. Super light and incredibly stable under foot. Floats so much better in powder compared to my BSOD! A MUST BUY for those who ride and love their BSOD
Wanted to hear some reviews of dudes who have ripped this in deep pow, and if it floats epic
Yes 100% agree
This is all you need to know about that: ruclips.net/video/l9W9rVOouSs/видео.html
Thx for video. I wear 44 EURO Burton boots, 175 lbs and 5'10. I prefer smaller boards :), is size 156 doable (waist with 25,6)?
I think you’d be better off with the 157W, especially because you can carve this board way high on the edge
Thanks for the new video! I was just curious what size boots do you wear? I wear an 11.5 and I bought the 157 wide this year hoping that it will fit my boots.
I wear a size 9 boot and ride this board in the 159. You’ll be all good with the 157W
not imo but what do I know.
Bought one just for the looks. Can’t wait to try it out!
I love the inter dimensional spaceship look this year
I own the Mega Merc, which I love as it's a high-tech all mtn ripper on the stiffer side that I still can butter with. How would you compare the two boards?
Probably need a whole video for that comparison haha. The Mega Death has more energy in a different way and seems to ride powder better. I still love both rides though
Thanks for the video! Have you ridden or are you going to ride the new Kazu Kokubo Pro? I am very interested to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks
I haven't yet, but it's on the list, hopefully this year
YOYO Shane! Awesome video. Just ordered the 2025 mega death and 203 cannon! Be by radio soon to pick them up. I was leaning towards not getting the 2025 megadeath, but you're a hype machine. Can't wait to try the 165 wide.
My man! Thanks for supporting dude! That's gonna be one fun quiver!
Hi what size would you recommend?
I'm 5'11, around 165 pounds, US 10.5 boots
I think the 159 would do you well
Have you taken it through the park? Or it too delicate for that?
No, it's too directional of a board for me to want to ride in the park. Plus no matter what board you're riding the park, and especially rails, is so much abuse on your board, I could never with this nice of a board haha
No difference compared to last years, just the graphics?
Slightly upgraded base with more durability
Got one in 157W. Boot is 10.5, weigh 175, 5’8
Hell yeah, rip er!
They need to make it 1 size smaller
At least one size
@capita please make this in a 153 :)
That's what I'm saying
Last years was and still is amazing
You bet!
I hear it’s not the most durable. Angry said it’s a special occasion deck that fucking rips. It’s definitely a hot rod though
That wasn't my experience, turned into somewhat of a daily for me last year. Scraped it on enough trees, stumps, hard landings and it held up as strongly as all my other rides
@@SearchofSnowboarding can you set it back for pow? How’s the landing gear on it?
@@coloradoruffneck4230You don't need a Megadeath Ruff
I guess if you want to, but I never found the need even in deep Japow
@@SearchofSnowboardingyeah I saw the same video from Angry and they say it’s not a daily. Your opinion is that it will be fine to be a daily? I’d love to get one
I just noticed you have 3 orginal Ultimate Ride in the back ground.
Got the 17 from a thrift shop when traveling in Japan back in 2022. Instantly fell in love with it. It's so light, verstile and has almost the same spec as og HK pro with the same construction, camber/side cut profile but longer nose. I ended up buying all 4 years from used market. So sad they stop making it anymore.
Yeah, I loved that board and rode it every year from 2016-2020
Going to Japan in January do you have information on that thrift store wouldn’t mind getting some boards
@@LuisSosa-r8t Sorry my reply keep getting removed. Try google used hardware store , it's a chain.
@@LuisSosa-r8t comments keep getting removed, try search second street with "super"prefix
I only have one season of exp, can I handle this board?
Depending on how much you've progressed, I'd imagine it's possible you could. That said, it's likely that for your second season, it's more board at a higher price point than you need. There's many boards out there that are at a lower price and probably more appropriate for your day to day needs. I'm partial to the Jones Frontier, but there are plenty others to check out!
I think you would have a better time on a different board for your first season. The Frontier is a good one to check out like @markmaurath8161 said
Between Mega Death and Mega Mercury which you would choose ? For all situations, don't want to have several boards
How hard do you charge?
I have both. Toss up honestly based on whether you want a more twin shape, mega merc, or slightly directional bigger nose, mega death. MM slightly damper in chop vs MD better powder. Would never take the mega death out in early season or slush though fwiw.
Tough question because I ride both haha. I find myself grabbing the Mega Merc if I want a stiffer ride or am in more of a freestyle mood. The Mega Death kills it for everything except park
I have a mega merc and that thing doesn’t have a very pronounced camber when you lay it on flat…I would think mega death has a more powerful camber profile also curios about this?
@@SearchofSnowboarding do you have super d.o.a ? how is it ? they say its the best model for park of Capita
Unfortunate name tho
Or is it the most badass name…
@@SearchofSnowboarding I mean it's not as bad as Spinebreaker or Ankle Destroyer, but it's close :)
Symphony of ultralight construction. Dave mustaine approves
If it’s so good. Why don’t the pros ride it?
Why do you think they don't? The crew at Baldface rode the BSOD, I'm sure they upgraded to the Mega.
@@TOC1616 cool wher can I find that footage?
They do, Brandon Cocard's been liking it a lot. I think there's not much footage of them riding it because footage you see will most likely be on more freestyle focused boards like the Mercury, Mega Mercury, DOA etc.
