Jumps!!!!! You guys can’t forget about Bataleon Evil twin hands down my best jump board…  I’ve had some “fun” landings on this board and surprisingly rode away. Great board to progress on.

Highly recommend

Don’t go too soft on a board that you want for jumps just my 2 cents

And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again unmatched POP

Notes from a park rookie ( started riding this year!) figure though if it helps me it should you too..

Ridden a few boards but recently got a little GNU that is hybrid twin.
Found it amaze for all terrain - Been riding alot of switch so I don’t know how anyone could
not ride a twin?
The mixed camber/banana is so great.
I’ve got a heap of pop but also alot of flex for learning butters…. Holds to the boxes really well and is stable
enough to cut the ice and on landing doesn’t deivate from a kicker or box etc.


Highly recommend the GNU’s. All that fancy and wording with their technology
I believe is worth the dollars.

Also found my Union bindings with the cushioning to have helped my weak knees
and ankle with all of the compression from hitting boxes etc on the Powderpak
run after run after run.

 

Hey all,

Apologies for going quiet for so long as I was away with work.

I’ve ended up getting myself a YES Jackpot. Took a lot of um’ing and ah’ing to make a decision but bit the bullet in the end. Now the pleasure of looking at it for 9 months until I can use it next year haha.

It’s going to be a long wait!

Thanks again for all your opinions and help!
