Thanks for getting to this review Avran. I saw it hanging on your wall last week and was wondering when you were going to get to it. I saw the team work up design and production hype coming out of the Ride camp on the Zero, but I wanted an honest and objective review from someone who knows how to articulate the feel and character of the board.
Bought this a couple weeks ago and been out about 6-7 times. It was a bit out of my skill level (used to ride a lot, but took about a ten year hiatus), but has encouraged me to be really committed and aggressive in my practicing. I’ve progressed super fast again this season and really fucking love it for all-round and street riding I’ve been getting into (MN rider so I ride 300ft vert🤣🤣) i love it so far though. Def gotta work for the butter, but I love how much control the edge gives me. It’s rewarding lol
Excellent review. Thanks for taking the time to do a good thorough review. What's your size recommendationon this board for 70% park 30% riding around hitting anything thats on the path. No big jumps just rails and mid size jumps. 172lbs, 5'10" 9.5 boots. Intermediate to advanced rider just taking it a bit easier now that I'm at my 40s.
@@AngrySnowboarder agreed, all my park boards have been 152-154. This one comes in 151 and 155 that's what threw me off. Wasn't sure which way to go. Maybe I missed it but I did not hear what size you tested.
Just ordered myself the ‘23 161W. The Zero has been on my radar as my intro to park board since last year, and they have it marked down $100 on the website so I said yolo. Currently sending the 158 Warpig and it’s an absolute all mountain beast for me. Looking to learn park and riding switch on top of how to ride camber. Time to eat edges this weekend?
Just ordered a more freeride focused board for big powder days and hitting steeper stuff at the resort, but Id like to work on spins, side hits and being more playful as well. I've got a discount on ride boards, is this the one you'd suggest for that? 210lbs 10.5 boots? A shop recommended this in 154 wide. Also sounds like you recommend the bent metal transfers so I wouldn't need different bindings
It sounds like this is the non- volume shifted version of the 2022 twinpig. Do you think one is better than the other particularly if you have size 11.5 boots and want a do-it-all board?
thanks for the reviews Avran! If you had to choose between an ultrafear and the zero for a fun versatile deck? for flat tricks, ollies, little bit of carving, which would you recommend? ;)
How does this compare to the Yes Greats and Gnu Riders Choice? Looking for an asym board that can lay trenches and boost side hits at Mammoth. Thanks for lifting up the community!
RC is damper and less lively, Greats is a little more playful between the feet. Each has a unique ride on edge. I think the sidecut on the Greats is better for going deeper on the heel than this, but the RC is more precise.
@@AngrySnowboarder appreciate the input. What decks would u recommend I check out. Most of my runs close to home are park but 1-2 times a year I’ll visit whistler for example. Trying to have 1 do it all machine. Thanks!
I've been eyeing a new psychocandy at my local shop, they gave me the sticker rundown but no experience rundown with it. Any chance you got means to review the new Ride psychocandy!
@@rooscous8657 That actually wasn't supposed to be the answer. No clue was the full one it posted early. Probably won't get on a Public till next month some time. Sims probably not getting on one ever.
@@AngrySnowboarder oh nice do you think you would review a Public? I'm thinking the sims would be too soft and the public disorder more of a jib board to size down on and the zero would be a good go to for everything in the park
do you think i need to get the 154w if i have size 11 boots? im about 5'10 180 lbs. im not sure if i should get the 151, 154w, or 155. ive had a 151 since 2003 and my boots and bindings fit on it pretty good. my other option i was looking at was the Public Dispute 153. sidenote im looking for the board to be poppy and playful. thanks dude.
Hey Avron. I was wondering how agressieve is the camber section, is it kinda like the benchwarmer? Looking for a board with the same.camber profile as the helix but with a little softer flex.
If you could choose between this or 2022 Indoor Survival for 50% all mountain / 50% park for an intermediate rider on Ice coast, which would you recommend? Pop, flex, carving?
I'm 5'4 145 size 9 and just ordered a 147, I'd go no bigger than the 151 especially at your weight. I'm a little dude but definitely prefer smaller boards in the park!
All mountain rider, powder, park, trees, everything. I need a quiver of one for Tahoe snow. I know someone who can get me a deal on a Ride board and enjoyed my last one for 7+ years. what would you suggest? Im 6' 190lb 11size boot
Hey female here ! Have been looking to buy this board for park progression, but I’m worried it will be too stiff for me. I would probably go for the 151 as im 5’8 in height and wear a female 9.5 boot. My question is, do you think this will be too aggressive as Im used to riding ‘female’ boards, and will it be heavy for jib lines - seems like the perfect jumper though. My other options are YES Rival, Ride Saturday, Capita Birds of feather and Salomon No drama. Can’t quite decide..
Hi Angry. Looking for a snowboard for my son. 11 years old, 5.4 inch, 110 pounds, size 7.5 boots. He is experienced for his age. snowboard 40-50 day a year. Like to butter, tight trees riding, box and rails and carving. East coast (quebec, canada). Considering unisex adult board. Does the 147 ride zero good fit or maybe yes basic 146? Any other recommendation?. Thank you for your help.
Just to make sure. I'm not considering the youth zero, but the adult one. Both come in 147, but with different weight chart. Is your recommendation is for the adult one? Thank you @@AngrySnowboarder

file the contacts and the rebound will allow some grace, on the top to bottom rotations if your getting back into it.
I appreciate your comment because I am in the same exact situation as you were and wasn’t sure what way to go but your comment helped!
Thanks man your boot fitting vid saved me from buying a new pair, and much pain.
The OG Zero was the first Ride I purchased. I am now on my 5th Ride, the best I have found was the DH2!
I learned basically every trick I can do now on a dh2 from like 2011-2013
I like shirt. Snowboarding does suck. It costs a ton, demo days r slim. So much hype n anecdotal reviews, I appreciate ur review.

For what you’re describing I’d go for it!
@@AngrySnowboarder would you say 154w or 157w?
Dealers choice.
looks pretty neat! Im looking at the DOA, Mega Merc, Arbor Westmark camber, and this all pretty closely
With all these boards you are looking at, you may want to hone in some more. All the boards mentioned are all different from each other.
Mega merc sold through.
great video. Do you have a review on the ride benchwarmer?
It's coming.
Sounds a lot like the Algorythm review. Is the Algorythym just a beefier version of this outside of the asym heel side?
Well this is twin asym so there's that. It's also more freestyle focused.
Do you have a review dropping for the MTNPIG?
Eventually.
All it needs now is click in bindings with a leash... On a side note I can't wait to try this board out
Everything is sicker with clicker!
How do you compare this to the 23 DoA? Thanks!
Usually by looking at the specs and putting them into a side by side comparison.
Would axtions also work
Sure.
It sounds like this is the non- volume shifted version of the 2022 twinpig. Do you think one is better than the other particularly if you have size 11.5 boots and want a do-it-all board?
Basically it goes Zero, Twinpig, Benchwarmer for flex. I'd rather ride this than the Twinpig.
Avran, thanks for the reviews man. Who do you recommend I check out on YT to get better on the snow? Other than buckhouse ofc
Check out snowboard addiction, Nev has a good thing going there.
Tommie Bennett is also pretty good, only downside is coaching is actually his full time job so he doesn’t get to put out a ton of videos
@@willdykema Debatable.
Cassie willax
@@AngrySnowboarder listen I know he’s trying to sell goggles too😂 but his descriptions of the biomechanics are pretty spot on
thanks for the reviews Avran! If you had to choose between an ultrafear and the zero for a fun versatile deck? for flat tricks, ollies, little bit of carving, which would you recommend? ;)
Zero only because it's stiffer and has a better camber profile for carving.
@@AngrySnowboarder ok thanks 😇
You gonna review that smokescreen I’ve had two and both have pressure cracked
Just filmed it.
@@AngrySnowboarder sweet yeah it’s fun board but the top sheet is shit durability wise about to warranty my second one
Where can we get that sweatshirt?
Back in 2018.

RC is damper and less lively, Greats is a little more playful between the feet. Each has a unique ride on edge. I think the sidecut on the Greats is better for going deeper on the heel than this, but the RC is more precise.
Would you recommend the twinpig or the zero as an all mountain slayer? Cheers
Neither but if those are your two options the Zero rides better.

I haven't ridden one.
Can't decide between this or Twinpig.
I'm 5'7 at 210 so zero I'd have to go 159 or twinpig I'm leaning towards 151 or 154.
To be frank I think the Twinpig sucks.
Is the zero too aggressive for park progression on jibs and jumps
No.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks, how would the zero compare to the sims bowl squad and public disorder for park. I am trying to decide between them
@@rooscous8657 That actually wasn't supposed to be the answer. No clue was the full one it posted early. Probably won't get on a Public till next month some time. Sims probably not getting on one ever.

Yeah you need a wide.
Hey Avran, would you recommend this board, huck knife, or the dc ply? Im an intermediate rider looking for an all mountain/park board.
I'd go with the Huck Knife first as it's the stiffest so it'll handle all mountain better, then the zero, and finally the ply.
i cant find one any where plz help!!!
Probably have to buy a 2023 version.
Hey Avron.
I was wondering how agressieve is the camber section, is it kinda like the benchwarmer?
Looking for a board with the same.camber profile as the helix but with a little softer flex.
It's the softer version of the Benchwarmer.
would u recommend this or the outsiders for a all park/street rider who is intermediate/advanced.
This.
Hi, does this season Zero differ from this one? I found both with a discount and am not sure which to take. Thanks!
Graphics.
@@AngrySnowboarder the best reply, cheers!
@@AngrySnowboarder Just bought it 🤙
What s the main difference between this and the twinpig? The only thing that s holding me to get this one is the graphic. Like the twinpigs way moore
Flex, width, sidecut, the Twinpig is meh.
If you could choose between this or 2022 Indoor Survival for 50% all mountain / 50% park for an intermediate rider on Ice coast, which would you recommend? Pop, flex, carving?
Indoor.
5’8” 195 size 11 boot, trying to decide between 154w and 155. Any thoughts?
It's 1cm but that wide will fit your boot size better.
6’2 175lbs intermediate/advanced
Looking for a jib/jump board that feels comfortable on jumps aroundish 40 feet
154w or 157w?
You probably want to bump up to the Benchwarmer over this. But for a size get the 54w.
Can i compare this board to capita DOA? I'm riding doa 5 years, and thinking of change it to zero. Thanks
You can compare anything you want.
With this board being similar to the twinpig, would you suggest sizing down a little bit or would you recommend going true to size?
true to size.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thank you - I’m 5’7, 135lb, sz 9 boot. Ride mostly park. I’m between the 151 and the 155. Any recommendation?

Not this.
Hey female here ! Have been looking to buy this board for park progression, but I’m worried it will be too stiff for me.

You do realize you size a snowboard based on weight not height right.
@@AngrySnowboarder my bad , I thought i had included that ! 63kg
51 zero is fine for you. If you want to be more jibby bump down to the next size.

I think he will be around 115 pounds in next february (2024) and 130 in 2025 february.
@@cool-vv9wd Knowing that I'd probably push him towards that 47 Zero. I think that will be a better board for him than the Basic.

That's the one I was thinking of.
Oh man... I dunno I like the jackpot too!
Am I the only one who hates most of the graphics that ride put out for this season?
You're not the only one.
It feels like those lay, early 00s graphics made in Microsoft Paint.
They're actually doing more late 90's throwback graphics this year. If you rode back then you'd recognize it.
