Thanks for the review, it's on this years wishlist since you mentioned it the other day, love the base graphic of Suzy and there's a riding pun there somewhere but be it far from me to make it.🤣
Hi Avran, I'm very torn between this board and the Bataleon Thunderstorm for an all mountain board, with no park riding(due to bad knees). I am an advanced rider standing at 6ft 190lbs and wear a size 10 boot. Which board would you recommend between the two, and what size? Thank you so much and love the videos!
I just bought it in 161W I’m 195 cm with 11,5 boot size Really looking forward to trying it out. Just moved to Canada for my first whole season. I was actually going for the 159 but the guys in the shop made me go up. Little bit scared of the wide version. I don’t hope it gets clunky. I’m probably just overthinking. I trust that the guys in the shop knows more about it than me. Should I be scared of a clunky feel or do you think it’s not much difference?
felt the same about my first wide board and didn’t regret it for a second. never went back and I have a little smaller feed so I think it was the right choice! have fun
Hi Avran. I'm going to buy this board but I'm not sure whether to choose 154 or 156 cm. I am 5'8'', 150 lbs, foot size 10 us. I like trees runs, jump and quick turns. What do you recommend me?
Hey Avran, you’re my go to for snowboard gear. This board seems great but I’m based out of PA and ride a lot of hard surfaces. I’m a solid rider both ways, and am looking for something I can really progress my air with this year. I loved the dicey in 155 last year but I want something stiffer and maybe longer-5’ 10 175. Also looking at Rossi revenant 158
Heard it. Think that’ll ride nice with my malavitas? There’s a great deal on arbor cypress rn and tempted to pair them up with the rev. You’re the best!
Hi Avran, just bought this and needs some advice for some binding to pair up with this board. It’s between the Bataleon Astro Asym and the New Union Forces. Which binding would you say be better for my beat up knees? One knee has a replaced acl and the other might have a torn pcl.
I like a locked-in feel and a board that won’t slid out from under me. Fortunately, where I live we rarely have ice (I noted you said it slides out in these situations). I’ve always been apprehensive with the 3BT look; like it looks like it could lack grip when driving high speed turns. Is this deck more prone to doing so given its uplifted areas?
You're less locked in at the traditional contact points and it brings it more underfoot. This changes the whole dynamic of how it feels. If you're oldschool and love that locked in feel camber has, you'll probably hate this.
Debating between the 156 and 158w (found it on sale). I’m 160lbs with a size 10 boot and size L union stratas so the footbed hangs over the edge slightly (causing footbed drag if I really lay it over) on my current board with a 254mm ww like the 156. I want to go with the 158w for no overhang but I was wondering if that will feel like too much board compared to the 156 at my specs?
I have a Bataleon Omni (160W) that needs to be replaced. What would be the best option for its replacement? I love the 3bt and the backseats inserts options as well, but Bataleon has some issues lately due to changing factory. Thanks a lot, in advanced!
Trying to decide between this and ride algorythm. Obv they are a bit different. But do you have a preference for a board you like better as a resort ripper, popping side hits and tree slashing?
Honestly they both sit in the same category. You can't go wrong with either. Ask yourself what shape you want, if you want 3BT, and then decide from there.
How stiff is this really? I have a 2022 Bataleon Party Wave plus in 157 which is rated as 6 out of 10 according to Bataleon, but interested in this due to its somewhat longer and more twinnish shape (but still directional). Is this a better overall one-board quiver for big-footed sasquatches, or would for example the Libtech Stump Ape be a better do-it-all board?
@@AngrySnowboarder Cool, thanks for sharing your view of the Stump Ape. Would you then recommend the Beyond medals as a good board to do most types of riding, or is it too stiff, and perhaps the Bataleon Whatever is a better choice (i.e more playful but less of a charger)? I want a wide and fun board, but think I prefer something longer than the Party wave plus. I'm a tall guy, size 12 guy, and approx. 230lbs. Any comments or other suggestions?
Been waiting for this! Just got this board in the mail today!!!
How was it ?
I'm getting it too lmao
Just ordered this today. So stoked
Sounds like a good board for my riding style. Hopefully I can demo one this year. 🤞🏻
Heading up to copper as a lifty this year, and I’m takin this beauty with me
Solid choice for Copper, see you up there.
Video production lately 📈📈 thanks for the reviews, as always

I want to change my Party Wave+ 21/22 for this one
Sounds like the Bataleon Omni 2020 but highly improved.

Get the Thunderstorm it’s more damp and less freestyle focused. 161ish
@@AngrySnowboarder Alright sounds good thank you so much!!
This music is confusing me
Hey man been watching the channel from the beginning keep it up! I was wondering what size you were riding since we similarly sized. Thanks amigo
56
Haha already ordered the 56 from the link🤙

I'd get the 56, more stable at speed and will fit that size 10 better.
Which one is overall more fun/better snowboard from bataleon lineup, Beyond Medals or Goliath+?
Depends what you’re doing.
@@AngrySnowboarderHaving fun on groomers, carving, side hits, some park and pow when there is any. I want just one board.
Beyond Medals.
what size did you ride?
Waiting for your K2 Passport 2024 review 🤠
That's going to be a hell of a wait as we didn't get one to ride.
@@AngrySnowboarder I guess I'll have to surf on my plywood board until then
This or funk kink for allmountain/park/powder? I also got slush pretty often in my area. Already have a peace seeker for carving/hard snow
This
Hi Avran, which would you choose, ride deep fake vs bataleon beyond medals ? Thanks dude
The one that fits my needs.

3bt loses edge grip on ice compared to other boards. That Revenant will have WAY more grip.
Heard it. Think that’ll ride nice with my malavitas? There’s a great deal on arbor cypress rn and tempted to pair them up with the rev. You’re the best!
I wouldn't use either of those bindings, but that's me.
Good thing I asked. Gonna go cartels prolly based on your recs cause the blue are 🔥

Get the 58w
Have you ridden this season's Rasman? Or is it the same as last years?
I haven't and from my understanding no change other than graphic.
Is this board for a beginner that would want to also ride it when im advanced?
Fuck no
Avran, if you were to get this board for yourself, would you get the 156 or the 154?
203bbc only! 56.
@@AngrySnowboarder but she said the 173 was big enough 😪 haha
She lied.
Do I bother upgrading from the Thunder and make an excuse to drop the $ during these late szn sales? 😂
Consume!!!
Does it feel as premium as the other top bataleon boards (I guess the + models) or is it more mid level?
It felt like a snowboard
Is it in a way a stiffer salomon dance haul? (minus the 3BT)
No
Which did you enjoy more this or the aeronaut? And for what reason.
Beyond Medals, it’s more approachable the Aeronaut is all gas and requires a certain level of precision even when being laid back.
I have a Bataleon Omni (160W) that needs to be replaced. What would be the best option for its replacement? I love the 3bt and the backseats inserts options as well, but Bataleon has some issues lately due to changing factory. Thanks a lot, in advanced!
Closest to that would be the Goliath Plus.
Thanks a lot!@@AngrySnowboarder
Hello, could this be a good board for a intermediate level rider that wants to get better ?
Going to be a hell of a learning curve.
Trying to decide between this and ride algorythm. Obv they are a bit different. But do you have a preference for a board you like better as a resort ripper, popping side hits and tree slashing?
Honestly they both sit in the same category. You can't go wrong with either. Ask yourself what shape you want, if you want 3BT, and then decide from there.
@@AngrySnowboarder Thanks man, appreciate all the content! Happy rippin
Ride Deep Fake or This board?
I'm a little shorter but heavier guy. 5'7'' @ 235lbs. Should I get the 156 or 158W? Which would be more appropriate?
Do you have a big boot?
@@AngrySnowboarder no. 9
You don't need a wide.
Avran, I want to get this board. However I have a k2 passport which seems to me like it's very similar to this board. Thoughts? Anyone?
This is actually a little stiffer and that 3D shaping in the 3BT changes the ride, but they sit in the same category so there will be overlap.
@@AngrySnowboarder which one of the two did you enjoy riding more? K2 passport was from last season that you rated very highly
It's not about what I enjoyed, it's about what you will enjoy.
@@AngrySnowboarder FAIR

Those numbers are completely arbitrary. Stump Ape sucks.

If it checks the boxes for you the Beyond Medals is a solid board.
@@AngrySnowboarder thank you very much, and keep your awesome videos coming!
@@AngrySnowboarder Compared to the Korua Transition Finder, what are the biggest differences, pros/cons, and which did you like best?
How would you compare this board to the Bataleon Thunder?
They're pretty interchangeable. Big difference is the shape and how it pops.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks
