NOTE: We made the decision to remove this category and merge the boards that were in it to other categories (namely the all-mountain freestyle and aggressive all-mountain categories, depending on the board's characteristics).
So the 2024-2025 list was the last of the aggressive-all-mountain freestyle lists.
You can check out all the past archived lists here.
More information on the category merging below:
Evolution of our Categories for 25/26
Snowboarding Profiles' categories have undergone some changes for the 25/26 season.
We decided that the aggressive-all-mountain-freestyle category was unnecessary and wanted to streamline things a little.
All the boards with current reviews from the aggressive all-mountain freestyle category were either moved to the aggressive all-mountain category or to the all-mountain freestyle category.
Aggressive All-Mountain Category
We made some small adjustments to the weightings of each factor for the aggressive all-mountain category to accommodate the merginng of the two categories, specifically:
- Speed went from a 25% weighting to a 20% weighting
- Powder went from a 15% weighting to a 10% weighting
- Switch went up from a 5% weighting to a 10% weighting; and
- Spins, a factor that was previously not taken into account for this category got a 5% weighting
Two boards that moved to the aggressive all-mountain category made the top 10 for that list:
- YES Standard XTRM
- Nidecker Sensor Pro
A few boards that used to be part of the aggressive all-mountain category were moved to the all-mountain category as we felt they weren't aggressive enough. Among those moved to the all-mountain list were the:
- GNU 4 x 4
- Slash ATV
- Burton Custom
- Rome Stale Crewzer
All-Mountain Freestyle Category
There were no changes made to the weighting of the all-mountain freestyle list.
One board from the aggressive all-mountain freestyle made the top 10.
- Burton Blossom
Others that were moved here include:
- Capita Super DOA
- Lib Tech T Rice Pro
- Nidecker Gamma APX
- Nidecker Sensor Team
- Lib Tech Rad Ripper
Retiring boards
A number of boards that were in the aggressive all-mountain freestyle category for the 24-25 season didn't come back with a 2026 model, so there were only a total of 8 boards to move in the end. Those that retired included:
- Capita The Outsiders (replaced by the Dark Horse, though the Dark Horse isn't as aggressive as the Outsiders was, so would have gone straight to the all-mountain freestyle category anyway)
- Never Summer Proto Ultra (though replaced with the PT3 Ultra, but we didn't get a chance to test it yet. Once we do, this is likely to go to the Aggressive All-Mountain category)
- YES Basic Uninc RDM (no real replacement)
- Burton Freethinker (no like for like replacement, but the Blossom did take on some of its qualities)
