#Snowboarding #snowboardreview #bestsnowboardreviews #expertsnowboardreview #bestsnowboardadvice
I can vouch, Angry snowboarder snowboards....
The new editing and production is looking awesome Avran. I’m gonna go watch Side Hit euphoria again
Loving the editing updates! Very nice!
I bought it for the painting between the inserts. They say art holds it value over time so I plan on selling it on craigslist for around the same price in 2028.
I got this in a 155cm a couple weeks ago, can't wait to shred it!!!
Thabk you, now I'm going to watch SHE for the millionth time
You’re only at a million watches?
So tempted to grab one. Had a GNU RC C3 up until recently, looking for a new board. Not sure if I’m ready for this hahaha.
nice review, what size did you test ride? thanks!
Have ridden this board 2 days now down in New Zealand. Coming off the Capita Kazu and a 14/15 Endeavor BOD this board seemed super playful. Yeah it was poppy but all in a good way. I was Riding Turoa in the North Island and we get firm conditions/ice that releases late afternoon, so tough conditions you could say, and at no point did I think this board had issues in the chop or hard stuff. Carves really nicely, quick edge to edge and of course fun on the side hits. I didn't find it much of a workout, the opposite really, but I have come from some quite stiff boards. It's epic and unless I break the Kazu out for some backcountry pow days, this will be the only board I use. Love it. I'm 170cm, 75kg and ride the 155cm. Thanks a lot for all the videos, they are great to watch!
I'm also coming off a kazu and want to get back on a camber board. Totally random this popped up. Not sure I'm in the market for a high end pro model, but this thing sounds fun as fuck.
I think he thought it was super stiff cuz he was on the 161.
What size boots
Sounds like how I remember the Burton FL Project riding
Great review. You captured the essence. I got this in a 157 and absolutely love it. I find the long effective edge to be very well matched with the flex pattern of the board. The larger sidecut radius at the nose and relative stiffness lets you really drive the turn (reach for the nose with your rear hand), while it progressively tightens up for that slingshot. As someone who does not like a plank, I did not find this board too stiff. It wants you to put effort into, and yes, it REALLY rewards you. That boost is serious, and I would not consider myself that powerful of a rider, either. I consistently say to myself, it really is the board, not the rider! All that said, in many ways it does ride like my older SupermodelX 160, but with more spring and freestyle intent. Note, I am at the top end of the weight range for the 157.
This review sounds like my new board which I bought end of 2023, a 157W Ride Berzerker. Super snappy, fast base, just wide enough for my Ion 10.5 and new L Union Force and rail to rail it is so quick. Lightweight, but edge hold at any speed and some magic upfront soaking up the terrain. It is so fun but as one commentator states, like the Longo not that much work. Want to try a Capita board 24/25 and this one looks like it fits the bill if they are not sold out!
Nice little bro peeps lost sheep. Real nice bro 😎
Picked one up in a 159. I'm 6'1 210lbs and size 9.5 boot. This review had me a little nervous, but I'm an idiot and proceeded to buy one anyway - what the hell, you only live once. Anyway, as usual Angry is pretty spot on here. I wouldn't say the board is super stiff tip to tail, but torsionally it's a plank. There is no ankle steering. Very fast edge to edge. Gets on an edge and feels very confident that it is locked in. Blows through chop/chunder like a boss, but I really had to get low and strong in the legs or it will take you on a little wild ride. That was kinda the theme - legs far more bent and squatting lower than on any of my other boards to make this thing do what you want. It responds and gives back three fold though. Just nukes and asks for more. You can really carve and lay a trench or slam quick edge to edge carves or just bomb and turn a couple times. That part was really fun. Pop felt really good, but honestly I didn't hit much besides little stuff as I was getting used to the board. My legs were blown up after 2.5 hours though. To put it in perspective, I rode my Nitro Team Pro today in the same fashion for 6 hours and my legs were not even tired. I figure I'll get used to it and my legs will adapt. I think for someone who likes to charge and not F around it's a great board. If your looking for something to cruise on this is not it! Like Angry said, "all gas and no brakes"! That really describes this thing to a T. Really looking forward to getting back on it!
No Wide though, guess I'll be getting the Mega Death instead
Great review keep putting out 🔥🔥! Would you know know how the areonaut compares to the yes pyzel, they both seem very similar in specs on paper.
One is the Aeronaut, the other is one of the worst boards I've ridden for 2024.
Damn auto correct 😂thx!
What size did you end up riding by chance if you don’t mind me asking?
Looks like you were on a 161? Normally I see you reviewing boards too small for your weight which I understand you have to ride whatever they send you but I wonder how your review would have changed if you tested the 157
Remember when all of us old guys learned how to snowboard on boards like this? This review made me feel warm and fuzzy, mostly because majority of riders under 30 would be terrified of this thing after the first 100 yards.
As a 40 year old I am terrified of this board 😂
I agree with both of these comments. And really want one
@@natronbetticus Tbh, I wouldn't mind trying something that requires this kind of effort and skill. But it's highly likely I wouldn't be prepared to stick with it.
Hey Avran! Will you be reviewing the new Ride Algorythm this season? Curious to see how it feels with the same pre-cured glass that was debuted with the Shadowban last season.
Didn't get one sent to us.
Love your videos man! Question for you: I’ve been riding the Kazu for the last few seasons & just damaged the base so it’s time to move onto the next. I’m not sure if I should go Kazu again or try out the Aeronaut which has similar specs. I’m an advanced rider - Mostly East Coast with 10-20 days on the west coast/alps. Occasional powder days when available but mostly ripping groomers & glades. No park for me but love natural features. Any suggestions & notable differences between the two boards?
And would you say the kazu outperforms the aeronaut significantly in powder? I know the kazu isn’t a full on powder board, but seems to be a bit more powder oriented than the aeronaut
If you want a missile with camber you go Aeronaut. Want a big mountain mercury then you go with the new Kazu.
Watching side hit euphoria right after this vid✏️✏️✏️
Sounds terrifying. But is does sound like a pro model that the pro actually does ride themselves.
How would you compare to the Nitro alternator with such a big price difference they look almost identical?
Alternator is a little softer and doesn't have explosive pop like this does.
Lookin good Avran #sprayskiers
Thoughts on sizing for size 9, 5’10 165 lb advanced rider? Ride on the east coast and looking for a total resort ripper to compliment my current quiver of a 147 dancehaul and 157 k2 alchemist. Ride everything from S-XL park features, railing corduroy, and trees when we actually get snow. Unsure if the 155 would be too small for charging due to the waist width or the 157 would be too big for freestyle. Appreciate any feedback. Also wanted to add that I really dig the live shows. Super informative.
If you have an Alchemist you really don't need this. I'd be looking at more of a real true twin for park.
@@AngrySnowboarder great, appreciate the input.
I like working out. Remeber jibbing on my Burton T6 back in 2004 162cm. Have you tried the Bruton t6, if so..which one is more aggressive and got the stiffer flex? @angrysnowboarder
Who the fuck cares about a board that's not even from this decade?
Bout to get this and the NS Proto FR. Time to RipNDip
Second deck choice is lame.
Did the fix the issues with the DOA this year? Looking to trade mine in for something more forgiving under the foot but still fun to ride !
The Aeronaut is not that forgiving underfoot.
Yeah I didn't think so. I bought last years DOA prior to your review and didn't like it at all with the "resort V1 Camber profile" looking for something for all around riding on the NY east cost. Something that is still good for some park jumps, more forgiving in the chop and chunder and some random POW...@@AngrySnowboarder
Sounds like you need something more all mountain versatile. Maybe a Mercury or Resort Twin, Ride Benchwarmer, or even a Gnu Headspace.
Sounds awesome for icy Scandinavia! It would probably kill me 🙂
undrar om edge hold utan någon form av disrupted edge.
Icy Scandinavia made me hate snowboarding. But I fell in love with it again when I came back to the Alps.
I honestly think that for us riding Scandinavia most of the time. We can size down due to the small hills we have( at least in 🇸🇪), and we need east coast equivalent edge performance. Jones lib yes edge disruptions help here
Having trouble deciding between two boards. This aeronaut or a libtech skate banana. Which would you recommend?
Clearly you need a Rad Air Tanker.
Coming from a free thinker 2022 love the edge hold of full camber but want something more versatile but still poppy and jump leaning and fast and can hold a mean edge on icy stuff should i get the mega merc or the aeronaut the hybrid on the mega has me iffy
Either of them is going to be a huge jump in stiffness.
@AngrySnowboarder really? That's surprising as I thought the free thinker is one of the most stiff burton boards other then the custom x, do you think if I got the mega merc or aeronaut it would be alot
That boards not even that stiff. The Aeronaut is stiffer than the Mega Merc.
do you think I would boot out with the 161 with a size 13 with low boot profile? I like to carve harder but not to the extreme level. btw i ride +18/-6
Yes
How would you compare this with the Lib Jamie lynn?
I wouldn't.
Hi Angry, what’s stiffer - this or Banked Country?
This.
I already have the capita mega merc and jones stratus there's no need for this. Man but I really want one😢😢
How do you like your mega merc? Did you notice too much edge hold lost due to longer rocker tip/tail? Cheers
@@leotigano2073I have a Mega Merc myself and was able to ride the Aeronaut. Honestly, I'd go for the Aeronaut because it's more playful and has more tortional flex. Mega Merc nearly has none.
@@KennethDC1337oh thanks for the feedback dude! I am actually even considering the Merc (not mega) now… i wanted a more twininsh pow board… not saying you cant ride switch with aeronaut, just personal preference of more twin shape.
@@leotigano2073They are quite similar in riding, except the Aeronaut is more poppy imo.
you prefer this or Burton hometown hero? can't decide what to ride this year
What do you think?
This or the jones aviator for all mtn freestyle and hard carves?
Sure.
Is this stiffer/more aggressive than the bsod?
Flexwise it's fairly similar, but the full camber makes it more aggressive. Going to keep up your mission to keep the Austrian GDP up?
@@AngrySnowboarderIt seems like my life's work. Just looking for something that's going to send me way past where I planned on landing. This seems like the child of an ejack and bsod, which would let me get rid of those two boards and maybe prevent my wife from stumbling upon the ever growing pile of decks in my garage.
Currently on a Rome Freaker. Would you say the Aeronaut is similar?
NO, way stiffer.
Seems to be the exact same shape as indoor survival 23 park v1 camber, no ?
Alpine V3 camber profile bud.
More or less aggressive than the Kazu? I ended up getting one of these so i will have both. The '23 kazu has so much pop and is more playful than reviews give it credit for
New Kazu has more rocker in it so it's going to be more aggressive than that. Old Kazu starts off stiffer than this but does break in.
Thanks for the reply! I found the older kazu to be really playful and responsive but also pretty aggressive at the same time. I'm 5'11 and went with the 154cm and think its fun pretty much anywhere and ride it switch quite a bit on the kazu. I decided to get the aeronaut in a 155cm to compliment and will do more or a setback stance for more of a directional / freeride style board.
This or Mega mercury? What are the main differences? Cheers
Whichever one fits your needs. Besides flex, shape, camber profile, and purpose they're basically the same.
@@AngrySnowboarder resort / park riding, what would you suggest?
@@leotigano2073neither, go buy a park board for the park
@@leotigano2073I’d start by getting a lift pass
Hi! Is there any recommendation for similar boards but more suitable for intermediate rider?
No.
hii angry snowboarder, i'm 175 cm and 70kg, that sise should i get?? thanks
Probably something in the mid 150's.
Stiffer than Korua otto?
Oh yeah.
I grabbed one man does it feel different, The thing definitely takes you for a ride if you aren't engaged all the time. If you are going slow (aka me testing it out) and try to get a turn not committed it'll take you down. I learned that the hard way. Sweet board gets in the air no issue, I feel like I need to actually do squats to get the most out of this board.
I got a feelin this board is Super Fire Flame 🔥🔥🔥
Is standard size wide enough for size 11 boots or am I doomed?
We're doimed
@@justinbordwell4654 😂 oh well. Hope they crank out some wides later on
Can someone butter my muffin ?

What are snowboards made by another brand that aren't in this review for $400 Alex?
@@AngrySnowboarder I meant to ask if there review is on the way
I got to see Longo riding this board with union ultras in a banked slalom event. Had a filmer behind him. It was at Mt Baldy in California. It was like spotting a unicorn in a garbage dump lol. Thinking on it now I’m like “How tf can he ride that board with those softer bindings, in that over salted banked slalom course?!”
and probably in a pair of vans hi standards
@@natronbetticus He had the infuse on I’m pretty sure. The green ones with regular laces and boa on the side.
well that's cheating then :) @@tbaart4428
broke my collarbone that day in that garbage dump on the run across from the event lol
@@blakebordis40 Dude everyone was eating shit. 😂 I only did one run cuz I fell twice. Not your fault at all. That course was oversalted garbage and the runs were awful 🤢
No more telling us what size board you rode? Cool.
Yeah, purposely did that just to piss people like you off because it seems you get offended easily.
Angry with the hitter videos on the regular
unlisted o.O
I think I'll pass. Workout boarding isn't for me.
Don't need the work-out.
sounds like a board ... thats not for me.

Nope, no thanks, not for me, I’m outta here!
