Are Twin Snowboards Dead? | Nitro Board Comparison 

I live in Tahoe and I only ride twins 🤷‍♂️

I used to only ride twins and I do still prefer them for normal activities. I was very against directional actually. I bought a directional twin this year though with about 1.5CM set back in the certs. Nose has more lift but camber is from point to point. It's a mild directional and it's a good addition to my quiver. I like riding switch as much as I can but aftwr getting my directional twin I wanna now get something like this to add as well. I love bombing irresponsibly fast almost as much as I love park. If you have the $ I think it's a good investment, but my heart is more geared towards (and if I didn't have the money for more than 1 board) something like the beast instead. Last year if you asked me this I would had said f no, nope, not doing it😂🤷‍♂️ FWIW I live in Maine. This would be a special occasion board. Likely keeping edges super sharp and stay off the rails, but who knows.

I will always and I repeat ALWAYS be against rocker or any damn banana board😂 no need for that nonsense

Actually tho😂 definitely gonna be having a directional board in my bag from now on!

@@Taevis-Kapalkahow much do you weigh and what length did you ride the alternator in? You’re riding is sick my man 😎

Thanks dude!!! Definitely not gonna make a habit of doing that though 😂

That’s sick! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

You're so welcome!

me tooooo

Great to hear!

Glad you enjoyed it😁

🙏🏻

Glad you enjoyed it!

stoked we could help! We haven't tried the banker, but it goes hard as well. I'd say if you are planning on shredding park go for the Alternator, but if you are looking for a bit more play out of your board on the mountain the baker is a good choice. Both are awesome boards that you will enjoy!

@@SnowboardAddiction thank you for the reply! Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos!

Super relative to the custom, it's pretty much nitros custom. If you like the Custom the team pro would hit all the same points.

Check out the Nitro Snowboards lineup they have some great options!

Glad you enjoed it!!!

Even David gogings would be screaming like that, no joke tearing the cheeks is unbelievably painful! If you don’t believe then you are blessed enough to not have experienced it yourself 😂

I don’t know the numbers, but I’m reference stance with -9 +12 Should be around 22 to 23 inches in width

I don’t do anything to my edges, just carve for a few laps! I only dull my edges for street riding.

@@SnowboardAddiction wow, that's brave, so you have no fear of catching on any rails in the park without beveling or filing down edges? Why only do it for street? Just asking becaue i'm deciding between a rocker camber vs a camrock board as my park board. Thanks again!

100% it’s the main go to pow board of many top riders! Super wide noise so it crushes pow and chop.

Not yet! Maybe Nitro will send us one next year:)

If we can get out hands on one we will!

Thanks man!

@@Taevis-Kapalka no, thanks for having such an amazing attitude even though you are so skilled and stylish , you dont see that often. Im sure you would be a delight to hang out with!

@@SEXYANDguesswhatI appreciate that! 🙏🏻

Nope, you go around the binding but your hand needs to come back to inside the bindings for it to count. Sometimes people let it slide on like a super corked 7, but that’s it.

Also I definitely count the pretzel out. You gotta consider the equipment. slight more margin for error and barelysluffed.

We count those of course!

tindy @ scott.

Even when riding switch it’s not a massive factor, so it’s definitely worth looking into:)

Damn you just spoiled our next video! ;)

I don’t believe in defining snowboards. Spent a few laps carving your board and the edges will be ready. DTuning is mostly just used for street, or airbags:)

As Taevis said, Detuning isn't done too much, if you are really worried about edge catches, get an edge tool that lets you angle your edge at 88°, that's what a lot of the pros do. we do have a video made on this here: www.addictionplus.tv/courses/take/Tuning/lessons/44694339-how-to-de-tune-your-snowboard

@@Taevis-Kapalkaawesome mate!! Thanks heaps for coming back to me!

@@SnowboardAddictionunderstood guys! Will follow his advice but will also check your vid! Thanks again!

Never tried the beast so we really aren’t qualified to say sadly.

As far as I know, the team has inch more on the noise but that’s all. Other then that it’s exactly the same. A directions bored in my opinion means it is different from one end to the other and is set back a good amount. If it can be confused for true twin it is true twin in my books haha

@@Taevis-KapalkaThe nose of Team is wider and softer than the tail, so it’s already not a true twin. Setback is not big, but it’s present. True twin boards don’t have such things

@@user-hi3il4iu9qCan’t say I ever noticed, I wouldn’t bother factoring that in honestly haha

@@Taevis-Kapalkaisn’t that a bit shortsighted for someone who is a coach, and representing a big brand like SnowboardAddiction?

@@woutvanhorenbeek2694 don’t fret, If there is something important that will impact people’s riding it won’t be neglected ✌️

I’d try any of their boards at this point, I’ve been stoked!

Donek makes great boards. Ive has my phoenix for 10 years it still rips.

There is the freighter from Douk now.

That would definitely not go as well in the park haha, tho maybe we will need to test that theory out💪

Good call!

Taevis has been using Twins in Pow his whole life haha. Taevis did a bunch of switch park laps without any trouble, we give this board the switch riding seal of Approval :)

Both excellent boards! :)

Very slightly, all boards have an extra inch on the noise nowadays. We talk about this in the video:)

Also most if not all T Rice’s boards are C2X camber, which is the same idea as the flying V.

Look at the best riders are doing. Do not fallow Chris cornings vibes, it’s the same as saying you should use a wide stance because Shaun white does. Just does not apply to the standard in snowboarding.

@@boleidi4936he doesn’t ride much besides pow so it’s much more flexible.

Well full camber has always been the most popular among pros and it's most likely going to stay that way too.

We back Taevis on this. If you want more power out of your snowboard, full Camber is the best choice. Watch any snowboard contest and you will see this to be the case:)

Next time!

By 1 inch, we don’t count that

Crash pants actually do basically nothing at this kind of impact. I used to rock them but they would tear on slams like this, so then I’m just hurt and down cash haha They are better for when your learning and your impacts are small and targeted towards your tail bone.

🤣

@@Taevis-Kapalka Yeah taking the impact when fallin L/XL jumps would need few air mattresses or so. But still despite I've ridden since the 90's feeling pretty competent I never ride without pants. In the end they take significant amount of pain away even from harder slams. Probably have saved my tail from at least couple of fractures too. I figured since I don't notice them while riding why not wear them all the time.

@@pjk-ripsFor sure! Any way you can minimize injury you extend your season so I back them. Really good especially if learning to carve or rails haha

it's the Tolasmik Collab with Snowears

@@SnowboardAddiction thank you!!

Your tripping haha

But Taevis loves the park..

Both have their pro's and con's nothing rides powder like a directional!

Just need that deep powder to go with it!

It’s so close no one would ever notice it isn’t, because taevis sure didn’t haha

Sounds like we need to set-up a race;)
