How does this compare to the Bataleon Whatever? It seems like the designs are different but the philosophy is the same? they are also in the same price range.
Hey - super nice review. really like it! I am 5'8 and my weight is around 182 lbs. So far so good. I could downsize a little an ride a 8.5 boot. Will the 153 Standard be the right fit for me? Thanks a lot! J*
Great review. Could you make a comparison to the typo? Do i get it right that the typo is a little bit more on the freestyle side and the standard the mire aggressive charger?
I own a standard, my buddy owns a typo. I find the typo to be more aggressive all mtn charger, more similar to my Capita DOA. I was surprised thinking the typo would be better for my freestyle stuff, but I really love the playfullness of the standard. I just posted a review of the standard if your torn between the two! Hmu with sny questions! ( typo is a freakin awesome board, honestly cant go wrong with either they can both do a lil of everything really good)
@@alwaysgosnowboarding I currently have a ride Twinpig. Looking for something I can be stable at higher speeds. That I can still have fun with. Debating on Yes Standard, Jones mountain Twin or Frontier and libtech terrain wrecker.
How the board react if I have my bindings all the way back ( ( slam back inserts ) riding powder to ice pist run ! ??? Do I have the carving capacity ?
If I have never ridden a wide snowboard would this board be hard for me to ride and I’m not a beginner, but I don’t get to rider a lot would this board be good or the yes typo??
Trying to pick up this board, 2024 model. Choosing between 156 and 159 I'm 187cm tall, 87kg, US 10.5 boots. I ride groomers 70% of the time, 20% trees, and 10% park. Experienced rider. Any advice?
I don’t ride enough to have a valuable opinion but I just road this three days last week in light powder, packed powder, and groomers and have zero complaints.
Just posted a review on my channel if you want to see it on snow and used by a non-pro 😂 Id recommend 156 for more freestyle, and 159 if you want more all-mtn.
Ghost would withstand some-what more aggressive riding (although some say it's still not super aggressive - Yes's 7 feels more like a 5 depending on your weight obviously) and carve better, while the Standard would benefit a bit more in powder and playful buttery styles. Disclaimer: haven't rode any of them, but buying a Standard this year and read a decent amount about them
@@kiddkaos1 I’ve ridden the Ghost and this is exactly how it is. Same core, geometry, the only difference is a modern camber vs a camrock with all the pros and cons of both.
The key difference is the CamRock profile here in the Standard, compared with the full camber profile of the Ghost. It make's the Standard a little more playful at the ends of the board, as well as giving you some extra float in deeper conditions. It won't have quite the same levels of power and pop as the Ghost, but not far off. And it's certainly still very capable of riding hard everywhere (see vid...!) Happy shredding, The Whitelines Team
I think the board carves really well because of the traditional camber in the middle. And because the nose and tail have rocker I felt it was pretty forgiving and easy to butter etc. I feel like it has the perfect balance of stability and playfulness and lays really nice carves.
Really interested in this board and the Burton hometown hero. Don’t really do park but enjoy a bit of freestyle with my free ride. Any insights? Thanks.
The Standard is a great all-mountain snowboard and great for progressing your freestyle in resort and backcountry. If you're looking for more of a dedicated freeride snowboard, (which is still totally rideable in switch), the Hometown Hero might be a better option. Take a look at The Natural Selection Tour for proof - a lot of the Burton team were riding that board! Happy shredding, The Whitelines Team
Just bought this board. Stoked! No park at all for my riding but can’t wait to get it out in the PNW powder and trees to just blast around the hill:) only worry I have is that I am not really a switch rider(yet) and hope the centered stance on this can handle the moister snow we get here in atomic dumps. Slightly worried that a 1” set back stance on this as a daily driver would be against the formula of this board. The board looks and feels candy though and can’t wait to try out this mid bite ! (:
@@kc510 Hey I’m almost the exact same measurements and having the same dilemma, you still stand by this? What makes you think the 156 might’ve been better? Thanks a lot!
@@TheDominic360 I’d love to definitely say one way or the other but I don’t really feel like I’m a good enough rider to know. I had a great time riding the 159 at Winter Park two weeks ago.
Very clear explanation of the jargons behind the board. Thanks!
Thank you!!! Anyone know if the 2024 has any differences??
And what binding would be recommended for this??

How it’s compare to the Goliath? What more versatile and fun to ride?

I’m 5’10, 165-170 lbs, and wear a size US9.5. Would the 156 fit me for all-mountain with a focus on stability and aggressiveness? Thanks

It’ll be awesome if you can do the RIDE Superpig.
Nice video definitely interest in this board 👍
Its a dope board! Just posted a review on my channel if you want to see it on snow and used by a non-pro 😂😂😂
@@alwaysgosnowboarding hell ye ill check it out!! I'm need a new board next year.
I don’t ride enough to have a valuable opinion but I just road this three days last week in light powder, packed powder, and groomers and have zero complaints.
On year three with this board. Love it.
This board absolutely lays trenches
Hi! Thanks for review What size would you recommend 6ft 180lb boot size 11,5us

Id recommend 156 for more freestyle, and 159 if you want more all-mtn.
What is the difference between Standard and past away Ghost? Only profile? How much different it's feeling?
Ghost would withstand some-what more aggressive riding (although some say it's still not super aggressive - Yes's 7 feels more like a 5 depending on your weight obviously) and carve better, while the Standard would benefit a bit more in powder and playful buttery styles.

Unfortunately they have taken the ghost out of their line up :(
What about the carvs on this board and is it forgiving ?
I think the board carves really well because of the traditional camber in the middle. And because the nose and tail have rocker I felt it was pretty forgiving and easy to butter etc. I feel like it has the perfect balance of stability and playfulness and lays really nice carves.

Same same. Hoping to nail tree lines at T Line and bomb warp speeds at Ski bowl!
How's it working out for you? I fucking love this board. No park for me either, just speed and carvessss 🤙🤙🤙
What size would you recommend for someone 6ft tall, 174 pounds, and size 10 boots?
158 ish buddd
6ft, 180, 11 boots here and I have a 159. I defintely think I could have gone 156.

hello. do you have any idea how this would compare to the Jones Mountain Twin??
I would like to hear someone respond to this. I love my friends JMT and looking for something comparable.
Did you guys get any info?

@@faultless18 me too! Any development on this? Haha
@@LadoAventura I’ve read that some rental shops have these demo boards. Try calling and see if you can rent them.
1:50 pretty lousy turns with counter rotation and sticking butt out on the toe edge.
