bataleon boards
 

anyone ride em? i just bought a fun.kink for $245 for the tbt bataleon has. how do they ride?

im buying an evil twin and from the reviews i read and
from what ihop(thanks) has told me, $245 is a super nice
deal. i cant wait until i can ride mine. go to the
"skate banana vs evil twin" thread to read more.

yea i was gonna get an evil twin i found a one for like $325. it got sold out before i could grab it. i dont like the graphics on the '09 one if youve seen it. its like yellow and black with a smiley face.

but yea th was the last '08 they had before they order the '09 version so it was on clearance way down

I think you'll really like the fun.kink, especially around the park. I had a hard time deciding between the fun.kink, the Evil Twin, and the Riot. I went with the ET for a little bit more all-mountain stiffness, and a little less expensive than the Riot. I also like the true-twin shape of the ET/Riot. The Fun.kink is twin shape, but for some reason they gave it a 1cm stance setback, which seemed a little out of place on a park board. I guess it makes it a bit more adaptable to riding outside the park or in powder. Did you notice by the way, the graphics on the 07/08 fun.kink were a subtle jab at the uninc base graphics (uninc has a sillouette of a pig on the base, the fun.kink shows a butcher chopping up a pig.)

Anyway I hope you get to ride it soon, you should post a review after spending a few days on it.

well its a long ways away but i def will around november/ december i cant wait. and yea on another website a review of the fun kink said it was a big "f*ck you" to burtons un.inc lol

"The guys behind the triple base technology also have lots of humor!
On the Bataleon ISPO booth we specially liked the FUN.KINK. This new board in the range is a directional twin and it’s a big “f*ck ya” to Burton’s un.inc range! Come here little piggy, the butcher’s gonna take care of you!"
