forum · 04-11-2013, 06:21 PM

Hey all,
I bought a disaster for the winter and spring season, and absolutely love it. Except.... some @$$hooooole stole it right from under my nose. It had my NOW bindings I got for christmas as well... it was sad. But im over it. What bataleon snowboard is best for all around mountain freestlye?

Evil Twin is pretty nice for all-mountain riding.

How did the NOW bindings ride with the TBT? Was there any delay engaging edges?

From my experience its really a pushover. I think where the bindings contacted the board were already lifted off the snow. So to really have the energy transfer to the edges you would have to be in a very far, tight, lean (45 degrees maybe??!?!)

Evil twin, goliath or fun.kink

I have a Goliath, great board.

For all-mountain the Goliath or Whatever, the Whatever being a little softer.

So all you guys like the tbt? I was debating on trying the new bataleon boss next year but I am not completely sold on tbt? I am afraid I won't like it... Any thoughts?

Demo it before you commit would be my advice. It is definitely love/hate with TBT.
