Nice bro ..Real nice... "thrust", " thrust" ....."THRUST" I'm always down for some thrusting Brotato chip...Thrust on thrusters....
Agree on all points. I got the early release last year and it's definitely more approachable than the marketing would suggest. The 3D nose is pretty buttery too which is nice for when you're just goofing around.
I might buy one but was unsure on its float in powder. Can you tell me what it's like? thanks
@@johnhailstone9927 Unfortunately I am out east, didn't get into any powder with it. With the 3D on the nose it should be fine except for deep days of a foot plus.
I took it out for the first ride today. It was amazing. Definitely not catching an edge with their cool nose and tail angles.
I was considering one of these and wanted to see what you said because I have always appreciated the bluntness of your reviews! “Every board is awesome” is not really helpful to someone who does not have the time or access to try more than one board a season. haha
I noticed you rode it in a 156. For this board that’s pretty small for 200lbs…Nidecker’s chart would have you on the 162. Have you had a chance to test the longer board and if so any notable difference in stiffness and approachability? I guess I’m saying, you seemed to like it but felt it wasn’t very stiff compared to Nidecker’s claims. I wonder how much that stiffness (and how much you liked it) would change if you rode it in the “right” size (at least according to their chart). Thanks!
Their charts are so fucking wrong all the time. We can put our 160lb tester on it and he'll have the same problem.
will u be able to euro carve ?😅
Hey Avran! I know this video is older but I currently have a capita indoor survival for my park/freestyle board and I’m looking to add a more powder friendly/free ride board to take through some trees and some side hits here and there. Would this board be a good choice? I’m also looking at the K2 Antidote, thanks!
Get this.
looking forward to this one - its either going to be this board or the K2 passport for me. Looks like in terms of sizing the Thruster has a longer effective edge whereas the Passport has a longer nose - does this mean it floats better or the thruster better for carving. The Thruster also has 3d tech raising the contact points off the ground for less catch - does this mean less grip in the ice / hard pack or is the Passport more catchy. Hopefully, Avran can find the answers!! Please!!
Passports better in pow, Thruster is better for carving. The 3D is minimal in the nose on the Thruster so you get a quicker engagement and turning from it.
@@AngrySnowboarder what about bombing through skied out pistes and not getting knocked about. I mainly ski in Austria and they don't groom the pistes so by the afternoon me keeping up with my fast skiing buddies can be very dicey. My current terrain wrecker just bucks me around - great for slashy turns but not so good for chopped out terrain. It ok in pow so as long as the thruster or passport is comparable then ill be happy with either. which ever manages resort conditions that are icey/choppy/crudy then thats the one I'll go for. Your help is much appreciated.
@@johnhailstone9927 Wise man say if you're skiing you should probably ride a ski not a snowboard.
@@AngrySnowboarder haha - i meant board in austria. just a habit i have when describing going on holiday. ie a ski holiday as all my mates ski including my family. im the only sane one who boards.
You want a Passport.
Hey Avran, hopefully I'm not too late here but would you say there's a bit of overlap between the thruster and capita mercury? Looking for a traditional cambered board that carves better than the mercury, essentially on harder pack/icy snow.
All boards have some kind of overlap, but those two really sit in different realms of their specialty.
Thank you!
Got a buddy in Denver. If I make the trip, what resort should we hit. We don't hit park. I just want a sick powder experience
Steamboat.
I am considering either the Nidecker Thruster or the Jones Mind Expander for my next board. Which would you recommend?
The one that fits your needs.
Intermediate learning to carve. Would you recommend this board or might it be a bit too much board? Maybe Rome Ravine or something similar. Currently riding a GNU T2B. Never road a camber. East coast groomers, smaller mountain. Thanks.
No this is fine, it's not that aggressive of a board.
@@AngrySnowboarder thank you, appreciate it.
I know you hold Amplid in high regard; how would you say this stacks up against day the souly grail? Worth it as an aggressive freeride option if I can get the Thruster for a couple hundred less? Thanks!
It’s noticeably softer. If you’re on a budget you do what you have to do.
@@AngrySnowboarder I hear ya. Might work in my favor. I’m really tall and really skinny with big feet, so the boards that fit my legs and feet at often way above my weight class. We’ll see. I really want to try an Amplid at some point anyway.
If that's the case, definitely go for it.
Hi Avran, hope I'm not too late here. 5'11/177 lbs/10.5 boot. Currently riding a 159 '23 Arbor Clovis which rides great for steeper terrain, tree runs, and a bit of pow. Looking for a second board for the quiver that is something I can really rail a carve on and lay out as well as something with a little bit of play in it for when I'm riding more mellow slopes with my wife. Would this have too much overlap with the Clovis or be a good 2nd option? If not, any other reccs? Have also looked at the Yes Hybrid and Ride Shadowban, but Thruster is on sale.
Honestly all of those fit the bill.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks for the input! So are you also saying that by "all of those", that includes the Clovis I currently ride and that the Thruster/Shadowban/Hybrid wouldn't be much of a different ride than the Clovis?
How does this one compare to the Concept? Seems like the rear contact point is larger, and it looks a little wider. Probably not as stiff though. I rode the crap out of my Concept but ultimately I sold it because in favor of smoother, damper boards.
It's closer in flex and edge control to the Area.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks 👍
I'm shopping for a more carving-focused, stiffer all mountain board to use, currently caught between a bataleon carver, thruster, and the regular ravine (though the select isn't out of the question). coming from a lobster eiki pro, which one would be the best option here?
Carver is the stiffest out of those three with the Thruster being the softest.
@@AngrySnowboarder just realized I said carver instead of the cruiser, oops. how similar in flex would you say the carver and ravine select are? which one does better in pow?
Cruiser is still the stiffest of the three. Ravine Select is designed to slay it in pow.
@@AngrySnowboarder gotcha. sounds like the select is going to be the one for me.
How You see how proper is lenght recomendations , if suggest that board is softer than Nidecker expected ? Im 5'11 / 80kg(177lbs) and considering go for 159L or 162W. Thanks!
Do you need a wide?
@@AngrySnowboarder I have loosed toe edge during carving, seems underfoot width of 260mm arent enough, so Im looking for wider. Boot size US10. Stance +21/+6
Hi. You have sized down a couple of sizes on this board based on Nidecker recommendations, I'm 150lbs and 5'7" so caught between 150 and 153.... would you recommend a size down? Looking at the 2023/24 model but all stats seem the same.
Probably want the 53
Would this be the right alternative for an East Coast mostly groomer riding rad dad? 6’2” 240lbs. Size 12. Looking at a ‘24 thruster at 162w length? I was considering the Shadowban and Algorythm as well as a Mercury and Passport. It gets confusing for this rad dad. Can you help?
That's a lot of girth for a soft flexing carving focused board.
Help! Can you suggest 2 or three options? Im back boarding after a 10-year absence. Trailing my kids.
Hi Mr Angry, Rad Dad experienced intermediate here who wants a turning cruiser for the whole resort.. with some crunchy groomers. Like a bit of speed but not trying to break any records.
5'7" 144lbs, 8.5W boots. Do you think this in 153 or the Rome Ravine Select 152 ?......... or a Shadowban 151/154 ?
Get this in a 53
Thank you :)
@@AngrySnowboarder
Good 2 board quiver with a shadowban, or too much overlap?
Little too much overlap.
@@AngrySnowboarder superpig it is.
