Honorable mention: That dumb skier in the lift line that won’t stomp getting his tips on your tail every time he sees the front of the line move an inch. It’s not breaking my board but it’s damaging my top sheet. It’s frustrating. Keep up the videos man. Love em!!
step on his heel brake and push him over, watch him fall, point at him then scream "dude just shit himself cause he's drunk". Watch the embarrassment set in.
Thanks for another great Top 5. You really cheered up my evening. You have reminded me of the first time I used a board with an extruded base. It didn't cope well with skimming a few rocks. I learned.
You had me laughing at 38 seconds....so glad someone is pointing out the death-hole frauds (Clickbaiters) out there. Love the channel - your Top 5's rock.
I don’t, and probably, won’t ever ride them, but that is a fantastic nugget about the malavitas. I see a lot of people buy them because 1. They’re Burton and 2. Leather Strap, and most people I see riding them don’t need the stiffness they provide.
I was under the impression that the graphics on the top sheet are directly proportional to the longevity of the board. you know, more fire the graphics, the better the board is overall to include durability. Pls dont tell me I am wrong.
i was waiting in a line for a tow rope to get up to the park but it also serviced some beginner terrain (midwest life) and some small skier kid come flying down the hill at about 25-30 miles an hour and hits me right on my heels side rife by my heelcup and split my edge on my almost brand new arbor board right where the grip tech was. it pissed me off but the worst part was the fact that after he hit me his mom just said “hey you should probably not do that next time”
I don't hear people complain that boards aren't durable here in Nova Scotia, they seem to understand if they damage a board it is definitely their fault. We have very little snow so you definitely know you hit something because there is usually no snow on it lol You can literally see sparks fly from edges when all the cool kids hit some whacked out side hit that they ride over a huge piece of granite to get to it 🤦
So the board you get is based on your weight and not how strong you are? Could the board you are supposed to be riding is heavy so you get a lower weighted board?
Ha!- love that ns comment-! Remember when I snapped their demo revolver when it came out forever ago saying it was indestructible….. never understood the ns hype. Cooler name than deck….
Do you remember a board from morrow called the lithium? 20 plus years ago. Super light foam core or something. I buckled 4 of those , 2 were on the first day. The surf shop kept giving me new ones. Then the last one he gave me he said this is the last one I can give you , they are breaking because you have burton bindings on it. “You are the only person that has broke one of these” so I take the brand new board to another shop and ask if I can trade it for a burton custom. And the guy says no we aren’t carrying morow next year and that other guy is lying because guys out west are breaking these things like twigs lol. I had no money and he let me take the custom and pay him later . That was awesome, I rode nothing but customs most of my life after that. I did break one of those that burton replaced.
Im 235lbs and ride a 157w by choice for park. Not that im great at it but I got some more toys for when I want to rip that actually fit a little better
I fixed my board when I broke it. The boys at the shop hooked it up and now I have a dope rock board. Also would have felt bad hittin up the warranty when I got well over 200 days of solid riding in a bit over 2 years, and I’m lazy too lol
I’m convinced they put that weird faded black and white graphic on it because it will make the chips look like part of the graphic instead of weak topsheet
What are some durable snowboard brands to get? For me, it's too late since I just got an Assassin which seems to be good. But my brother is looking for a good, durable beginner-intermediate board.
Durable is a word I only hear from Neversummer fan boys. They’ve all lived here for 7 years and never ridden another company. Always interpreted it as “heavy and lifeless”
Not that im a fanboy of neversummer at all. Ive only owned one board from them and just bought a jones mind expander twin. But for the last 10 years ive been riding nothing but my neversummer evo and it has handled everything ive thrown at it without really any damage other than a couple top sheet chips here and there. base is fucked though but thats to be expected gettting 20-30 days a year for 10 years.
Skiers? I just bought my brand new Solomon villain. Had a snowboarder run into me while in the lift line and I wasn’t even moving. I asked the guy to be a little careful since it’s an expensive board and he replied that all borders are expensive… and I wasn’t special. That was super cool
I once grabbed the bottom of the safety bar to pull myself along as the chair went by. big mistake. Bar went down, swept 4 people off the loading zone. Now, a tool in my back pocket in case anyone ever pushes me over the edge.
idek how someone breaks a board nowadays. when i was a kid buying goodwood boards i would snap one every year on the rails. now ive got a k2 carveair from 2017 that i abuse to no end and it hardly has a scratch on it
@@AngrySnowboarder I meant more in a general review rather than durability wise… I own one and am quite happy with it, but it’s the first and only binding I ever owned! Would love to hear (ie see) your review about it.
@@HauntedSheppard It depends on what type of board, how big your boots are, what type of riding you do, whether or not you are having fun. Etc. Pretty much questions you gotta answer for yourself.
@@johnsutcliffe3209 hahaha yeah iknow! I'm having a ton of fun. Haven't had the chance to try it in deep yet tho. Enough stability at speedsbut still nimble in tight spaces.
@@HauntedSheppard i ride a outer space living 157w. I'm 80kg and 182cm. Size us11 boot. Pretty happy with that after trying a few different boards. But also have a 157 directional pow board for deep days. Real happy with that.
I had a buddy that would take my exact line. If he somehow found he wandered off the line i took, he would B-line right for me. Hard board on board impacts from that guy. Surprisingly the topsheet didn't chip much or delam. Then I've had other decks where a light tap from someone on the chair cracks and separates the topsheet. Don't ask me which board was the durable one. You don't wanna know.
@@75percentN0oB in my experience neversummer's topsheets can take a big beating compared to other brands I've ridden. Although the ride itself in some models has a tendency to be uninspiring (In my limited experience. Mileage may vary).
They use a rental top sheet. Oh Carbonium is so fucking fancy! It's literally a rental board top sheet. It hinders the flex of the board, adds weight, uses more epoxy to bond which adds weight and once again hinders flex and causes a dead ass ride. I don't know about you but paying a "premium" to buy a technology that every other brand uses for their rental boards isn't exactly a good thing.
@@AngrySnowboarder do you have to stick with 1 material for the topsheet? Or could a manufacturer potentially blend the shitty rental topsheet an inch or two around the edges and get the best of both worlds? Durability around the edge without sacrificing flex or liveliness?
Well I rode my malavia's about 50 days this season and I haven't cracked my board yet, Guess I"m landin' bolts every time...nahh but also Tend to ride the stiffest board in my weight range which is usually a little bit longer and helps me stomp landings. A little hard getting 270's out and out of stuff but I got a front 50-50 front 3 out at big snow sp its possible but you gotta be on it, and I ride full camber.
@@AngrySnowboarder pfffff coming from someone who detests burton i'd take that with a grain of salt. I for one have rode custom x's most of my adult life, N I too can attest that THEY SMASH SHIT WITH EASE!!!! they do ok on slow ASS skies too!! ( I sooo need to make some vid"s funny shit out there)
I remember having a zygote twin 2nd year they came out was one of my all time boards to play around on. Then a kid from one of my old hills i used to ride at, got the next seasons zygote. Was whatever, until I went back to old hill for memories. Kid went through two boards that were too small for hill, and he used the board on a very poorly maintained park (I blew out a edge on beater board as a rail had metal snag flake), was front flipping off everything while landing back seat, and the hill was notorious for dick heads in lift line hitting your board with the edge of their skis. He went on about how arbor is the worst company ever and how the board was junk, then said arbor still warranty those two boards for him. He didn't like when I told him he was using a jib stick noodle while snowboarding hard on it, it was mostly his own doing because he bought the board because it looked unique, not for what he was doing. Like really, people are this dumb. Which is funny because I beat the shit out of my board by pressing everything and used as a play around deck, uptil I took it to get basegrinded for east coast base burn to fix edges, but the shitty ski race team shop thought it was a old shitty board and ran it through without knowing of raised contact points. Completely fucked my base up, still mad about it, would burn that shop to the ground if I could. Wish arbor still made them and like first 2 year graphics, id wish I had the money for a new on again. Lol
Why, he's stating a factual truth. CO snow pack is thinner, the snow is lighter, and the terrain is natural rockier. When you compare it to something like the PNW or California that has a coastal snow pack with heavier snow, steeper terrain, and snow that sticks to everything core shots are less.
@@AngrySnowboarder exactly. In the PNW you ride ON the powder, in Colorado you ride THROUGH the powder. Both are different and fun. Personally I like the variety. PNW surfy feeling pow and then Colorado cold smoke for spraying and it looks amazing with with the snow flying around the board when riding. It’s just when you go off the marked runs, rocks can easily hide under the snow. Got so many core shots at a basin on a feb pow day this year.
I just don’t trust online platforms these days. Especially Amazon, their prices change every 2 min. Then if you do purchase anything, you get surcharges up the a$$ like custom searches at the airport Lol 😂 Switch and bait tactics piss me off.
Hey if you want to beat around the bush that's all on you. I already finished that review and have it scheduled on www.angrysnowboarder.vip and the video review will drop in the fall.

That said I did have a burton cartel BASE break on the top of Steamboat. After I fell, I swung my board around and then realized my other foot wasnt attached to the board. It was still strapped in to the binding, but only half the binding was stuck to the board. Maybe I did something... But burton did replace it.
Fr my superpig chips like hell. No one riding a superpig would complain about the weight of the top sheet. Or maybe they could have 2 options one with one and one without one.
@@AngrySnowboarder lol your not the only one. I've heard many stories about the dealerships. that's a whole can of worms I ain't opening. Also I can't speak for the dealership. but I do know several angry customers that have come to me after a visit to the dealer
I could have literally ordered the part and installed it myself, I could have driven from NY to CO had my dealership install the part and then driven back to NY in the time that they took my car. What dealership takes on a client, says we'll have it done by Friday (dropped off 2pm Wed) then doesn't touch it for 3 days? Literally called them to get a check up on it Saturday morning and these were the excuses I got. "We are booked out for a month and a half" um strange no one told me that when I talked to 2 different service agents who were more than glad to schedule my appointment and check me in. "We are under staffed and everyone decided to not come in to work today" OK I dropped it off 3 days ago how is this my problem? "Due to inclement weather the whole city lost power and it was pure chaos" um I have a thing in my hand called a smart phone sir, I can tell what the weathers doing, you had a thunderstorm for 20 minutes on Friday with wind gusts up to 45mph, at no point was the electric grid hurt in your section of the city or even in the tri-county region. "You're trying to get a whole new catalytic converter (I told them it's a rear O2 sensor bank) that's just impossible to find. Literally had my Volvo dealer in CO tell me they can have a new CAT in under 24 hours shipped to me anywhere at any Volvo certified dealer for install, I just need a sensor that is readily available online from the Volvo parts store. Let alone I went to them to have a door actuator replaced as it's setting off a CEM warning. Not hard to understand when someone says "do this, anything else is secondary". But my favorite thing ever. "Well we don't have anyone here that's ever worked on this model" It's a fucking rare trim model, the internals are literally the same minus the upgraded speed chip and computer programming that literally comes from your VIDA program. I mean come on dude, I literally laid out the course of action when I came in on what and how I needed you guys to do stuff, the reason I didn't do it myself was I didn't have the time nor the tools, nor the location to do it as I'm traveling cross country. Bunch of dumbass chodes that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and clearly have never met a customer that knows what's up with their vehicle and how to fix it. Fuck Northtown Volvo in Williamsville NY.
@@AngrySnowboarder that’s funny 😆 I just got into some shit with a Volvo customer this week. It was a 2000 s70 that was t boned and had bald tires. I told the guy to just get rid of it. Cv axle clicks and brakes are down to metal to metal. He just bought the car. 🤣 Every time I touch a old car it’s trouble 😈 and hurt feelings. It’s like opening a can of worms. Plastic connector wires that will break apart when you squeeze the clips. I’m not making fast food here I’m rebuilding your shit box. Which no one has anymore. He finally drives in and the coolant is leaking out. He has a code for the cam sensor. Things get complicated they get old and things fall apart and they discontinue making parts. It’s a miracle they found the right cv axle after 2 days matching up pictures. Some mechanic has a fit at the part house and I almost got into a fight telling him to shut up 🤐 because he was waiting in line for too long. Poor baby. Meanwhile customer crying where is my car it’s been 2 months. 2 months which technically was the end of June and the beginning of July. Which is in reality 2 weeks. where he didn’t have the money. at that point you don’t give a fuck and hand back his car and not tell him about the oil leaking out of the turbo. And explain to him that oil from valve cover are leaking down on to the spark plugs and when they fall apart it’s one thing after another. I ain’t going try a replace that cam sensor and break who knows what. Who the fuck knows.
Sometimes you have to direct them to Cash4Clunkers and tell them the bus is cheaper. In my case I get it's a 2012 some stuff is going to go wrong with age, they're still making parts for it or there's still a plethora of parts around. The issue is Volvo has now become a replacement rather than a repair specialist. If I wanted to pay 3100 for it to be replaced I'd pay that instead I just want a damn sensor replaced that's a 150 dollar part and 280 in labor. What I really want is the damn door actuator replaced so the damn thing will stop dinging when I drive and I don't have to crank the stereo as I'm about to travel 1800 miles cross country. The parts 180 and it should take a half hour to install. I could honestly do it but I'm concerned that the ground wire is snapped and that's a Volvo only part plus I don't screw with electrical shit. I'll pay the money, just do the job I ask and do it in the time frame you told me you would. I don't need 10 different sob stories on why you couldn't get to it especially when I explained my concerns about it and gave a specified time frame. If they told me they couldn't get me in cool, I'd drive 65 miles the other way and go to the other shop and have them do it. Now because of their lies I'm over here like fuck it can't get it in anywhere till I'm back in CO guess I'll enjoy the sweet sweet sounds of ding ding ding through the midwest. KILL ME NOW!
