Badass park board to send it
av Nico, Brand Marketing, Blue Tomato, 9. jan. 2023
After many years of riding the DOA, I wanted to try something new. With many people recommending me The Outsiders, my choice fell on this tried and tested shape with a more classical camber compared to the DOA. Since I was afraid it might be a little too aggressive, I chose a shorter size than usual with the 152. Usually the 154 or even 156 would have worked for me as well though. My 42.5 boots fit the 152, but it really shouldn't be more narrow, otherwise the danger of toedrag gets real. My 179cm/83kg are on the upper end of the weight range of the board, which makes it a little easier to handle, but it still delivers all of its energy, which is a lot!
I rode the board at Absolut Park so far and it delivered exactly what I was expecting. Very fast, tons of pop and stable yet playful. The differences to the DOA are there, but not huge - it's a little more aggressive on the edge and I feel like I can get more pop out of it, eventhough the early season legs are not really a good comparison. I feel you could go really big on jumps with this, if you're able to snowboard that well, which I'm too old for, let's be honest. It's super fun to blast down the slopes on this as well, since it's really fast, holds the edge well and you can really power out of turns. Chosing the smaller size was good in terms of keeping it very nimble, but if you're not as experimental, I would rather chose 154 or 156 if you're similar in size to me.
This board can rip if you can. It's definitely not a beginner-friendly sort of freestyle board, but if you are experienced already and know how to snowboard, it will excel under your feet! Go bigger than ever with The Outsiders. It won't disappoint you!
