Got a frontier last season as my first new snowboard (I've been using a older used board for a couple seasons). Great in powder, great in trees/backcountry, alright in park and pretty good in icy conditions. Great all around board for someone who also wants to be able to ride a bit of backcountry. Quick question for anyone who knows, I have had a problem with strands of fiberglass sticking out between the sidewall and topsheet. Will this be a problem? I usually just pull the strands out when they appear and it seems like they aren't really coming out anymore, but I'm just worried about moisture getting inside. Thanks
That sounds like a manufacturing defect. When properly glassed, I don't see any reason why cloth/fibers should be exposed. To me that suggests lack of resin saturation. I don't claim to be an expert, but I have some experience shaping and repairing surfboards. I would just hit up Jones and have them take care of it, as I imagine this is covered by warranty. It might not ever become a major problem, but why risk potential delamination? Cheers!
Good summary of the Jones lineup. I purchased my first Jones snowboard last year (Aviator 2.0). Love the camber profile and Traction Tech 3.0 which helps on ice.
Great review, I’ve got the mountain twin and I love it, I’m looking at adding another board, I fancy something for going fast and maybe a bit more of a pow board. Would you suggest the flagship, aviator, hovercraft or frontier ? Cheers
What's up guys dig the review!! What would you guys suggest for 6'2" 165lbs. 10.5 boot? Looking to get the frontier but not sure 156, 158w ,159.. think I'm pushing the weight limit for 156 and not sure if I want/need a wide with 10.5...? And do you have a recommendation for jones bindings to throw on it.. mercury or Orion or the suf bindings..? In a solid intermediate rider .. trees pow and groomers not too much park stuff at this point...thanks guys
Wicked bro. My boy got me into the Jones aviator 2.0. this year. Haven't looked back. If you want to rip the ice coast and maintain a locked in edge in all conditions, you can't go wrong with the aviator. Insane pop as well. I'd imagine the frontier is awesome for my riding too.
Hi! I am hesitating between Mountain Twin and Twin Sister. I am 175 cm tall guy, 70 kg and my boot size is 41,5 (26,5 cm). Do you recommend me the Twin Sister? I know it's for women. But i like better this graphics than Mountain Twin. And which size you recommend me? Thank you! Greetings from Hungary! :)
For a newbie to boarding terminology, I’m looking to upgrade to a Jones board this season.. Now what really differentiates the Mountain Twin vs the Flagship??? What would you recommend? I’ve been wanting the mountain twin but the flagship may be calling my name instead
Flagship is if your riding a lot of steep/technical terrain or if you want to go fast and make hard carves. Mountain twin for a more all mountain freestyle feel, more loose and playful and a lighter flex
I received my new 22-23 mountain twin couple days ago, which I pre-ordered way back in days. Haven't tried it on snow, I definitely trust it in performance, but little bit disappointed how different is the color for the front face painting on their website picture and the actual board.
Hey man, I've got the mind expander twin and the flagship, do you think the hovercraft will be a good addition to my quiver? Or is it now necessary? Does the flagship float and carve well enough?
hi, where does the stratus fit. I'm looking for something freeride Seeking off piste, carve, cruise, explore, not into insane velocity. lol maybe some trees. intermediate + 5.6 9.5 boot 153 lbs.
Stratos is less stable than the hovercraft and a little more serious than the Frontier. I think the stratos is mainly for big mountain guys who like going off of technical slopes and the occasional pow. Frontier is more casual, but in softer snow you can still lay it over. Kind of depends on what conditions you face often tbh
Nothing says Eco-friendly like all the heli’s in Alaska and Canada… lets not tote around how your trying to help the environment but intoxicating it. Love the boards btw
@@giladlavi4393 different in store customer base, plus we try to carry a lot of different brands which leads us to only get so many models from certain ones
@@colbert6122 both rip pow but they stratos is gunna be a little more nimble and playful on trail the hovercraft is gunna be that faster, stiffer charging/ carving board on trail. All a matter of your style of riding tbh.
I mean you can...will it be fun? Perhaps not... Most of these boards feature stiff camber, if you want to skid turns and take it easy they will probably catch an edge and try to kill you

Still roccin my 2018 twin
Been loving my Storm Chaser in this epic early season at Mammoth

How old are you? Guessing youre pretty young if you’re that light at 6’2. So id go with a 159 easily.

thank you so much for summerize all Jones snowboard22/23. A lot Easy to decide
Great vid and descriptions of all the boards. Have the OG 2014 Aviator, looking to upgrade, this was really helpful.
Great video, I've had my mountain twin for 5 years will never change it
I'm curious, which one is suitable for an intermediate-level rider？ I am just getting started carving
Frontier is the best

same just got mine.. kinda disappointed
Same it is definitely a lot darker then the pictures make it look. I feel like even the one he showed is lighter than mine.

Duuude sick vid for all the jones simps out there🎉. I’m rocking a 2020 jones mtn twin with about 120 days in it already . Flagship on the way yewwwwww

@@alastor1052 yeah icy crusty slushy so cal and occasional sierra cement. I am leaning to off piste exploring.
@@Frank020 stratos should be fine them
Hey, which bore would you recommend to hit the jumps? Twin mountain?
Kinda wish I watched this first. Picked up the ultra craft in split. Yet to ride it.
Hovercraft since 2017. My powder board of choice and great carver too!
Haven’t ridden a Jones but love the graphics and the breakdown in this video.
Well done Bradda .... killer review !!!! Love Jones boards
What are your thoughts on the Ultra Mount Twin?
What bindings do you recommend for the flagship
Nothing says Eco-friendly like all the heli’s in Alaska and Canada… lets not tote around how your trying to help the environment but intoxicating it. Love the boards btw
Awesome info. Thanks!!!
Frontier or aviator 2.0? And what bindings to pair with them?
I just got the Frontier from backcountry for $349 the 156. Great price. Took it out for some spring boarding and was great.
Great break down. Thanks!!
good Job !
Great reviews
mind expander/twin/ultra weeps
we don’t carry the surf series:/ but I love those boards man
@@KYLESHREDS why not😮
@@giladlavi4393 different in store customer base, plus we try to carry a lot of different brands which leads us to only get so many models from certain ones
How's the Hovercraft compare to the Stratos
Similar, main difference is softer flex on the stratos and not as fast paced/ hard charging on the groomers as the hovercraft.
You also have more tail for presses/ jumps on the stratos
@@KYLESHREDS so for a main powder board, hovercraft > Stratos?
@@colbert6122 both rip pow but they stratos is gunna be a little more nimble and playful on trail the hovercraft is gunna be that faster, stiffer charging/ carving board on trail. All a matter of your style of riding tbh.
@@KYLESHREDS thanks so much for your input! My current board is the 151 Warpig, so looks like my next board will be the Jones Hovercraft 🤗
can a beginner use any of these boards? I love how they all look
I mean you can...will it be fun? Perhaps not...
Most of these boards feature stiff camber, if you want to skid turns and take it easy they will probably catch an edge and try to kill you
