ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #10

Board: Lib Tech TRS C3

Flex: Medium (5.5/10)

Rating: 86.0/100

>>See Full Review

 *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

Kicking off the list at #10, we have Lib Tech's TRS. 

The TRS is a semi-aggressive option, courtesy of it's C3 camber (almost full camber). But whilst it's the kind of board you can ride quite aggressively, it's not super-aggressive and also allows you to slow it down and play around, when you want to as well (hence why we didn't put it in the aggressive all-mtn freestyle category). 

And like any all-mountain-freestyle worth it's salt, it's great for jumps, sidehits, spins etc.

ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #9

Board: Bataleon Whatever

Flex: Medium (4.5/10)

Rating: 86.5/100

>>See Full Review

Next up, at #9 we have the Bataleon Whatever. Alongside the Jones Tweaker (see #8 below), the Whatever is the most playful on this list. 

It's pretty soft flexing and nice and slashy and playful. It's not a bomber, but it does feel pretty decent on a carve, especially for its flex. The 3BT helps to make it better than average in powder too. 

If you're looking for a playful, slashy, buttery but versatile snowboard, the Whatever is worth considering.

ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #8

Board: Jones Tweaker

Flex: Medium (4.5/10)

Rating: 87.6/100

See Full Review

Our #8 offering, in its second year of existence, the Jones Tweaker, is Jones' only true twin snowboard. 

When you ride this thing, you don't feel like your on a Jones, it is something quite different from them. It's pretty soft and really playful. Equal most playful on this list with the Whatever (see #9 above). 

If you like your riding playful and creative and want to take that to the whole mountain, including but not limited to the park, the Tweaker is a really fun option.

Board: Niche Crux

Flex: Medium (5.5/10)

Rating: 87.6/100

>>See Full Review

In at #7, we have the Niche Crux. 

It's probably the most aggressive ride in this list, but it's still not uber aggressive. Like the other semi-aggressive boards in this list, the Crux knows how to take things down a notch and chill when you're feeling like doing something more casual/playful. 

But when you want to bomb and start railing carves, the Crux has got your back. One of the best carving twins on the market. But it still handles jumps and sidehits with aplomb and will have you seeking out everything you possibly can to launch off.

ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #6

Rating: 87.6/100

New for 2024, Capita's Spring Break Resort Twin gives a new narrower take on their Spring Break Powder Twin. I fell for this board the moment I started riding it and straight away brought back nostalgia for the Capita Asymulator, which this has a similar personality to. 

Capable everywhere but particularly good for jumps and side hits.

Another new offering 2024, and the one of 2 new boards to make this list, the Easy Rider uses Never Summer's Triple Camber profile to great effect. 

It's a nice, versatile ride that can take on the whole mountain, but with a distinctively freestyle flavor.

Retaining it's #4 spot is the Never Summer Proto Synthesis.

The Assassin is a very versatile board that does a bit of everything-everywhere, really well. 

It's also nice and light and lively and whilst it's something you can take in the powder when it calls for it, it really excels when it comes to getting air - be that in the park or on natural features.

The big brother of the Rider's Choice, the RC C3 packs more camber and along with it more pop than the RC. It has different strengths and weaknesses, and while both are wicked boards for all-mountain-freestyle riding, my preference is the RC C3. 

It's semi-aggressive, but something you can still slow down and play around. 

The C2X version is also a great option. I have included scores for both models below.

A board this stable at speed and with the kind of carving ability it displays, has no right being as buttery and playful as it is, when you want it to be. 

Not a powder hound but if you’re looking for an asym twin deck you can carve up the whole mountain with,  when you're not hitting every natural hit you can find and lapping through the park, then you might have found your match in the YES Greats.

Board: Capita DOA (Defenders of Awesome)

Flex: Medium (6/10)

Rating: 84.8/100

>>See Full Review

Kicking off the list in # 10 is Capita's DOA. 

Performance for the buck, the Capita DOA is great value for money. But price wasn't taken into account when creating this list, so it's here on merit. 

The DOA is on the more aggressive side - but just on the aggressive side of the middle of playful and aggressive. Not aggressive enough to be included in the aggressive freestyle category but one of the more aggressive on this list. 

It's stand out feature is jumps, where it's great pop and light snappy feel will have you launching from whatever you can and you may not be able to wipe the smile off your face as you glide through the air and stomp back down to earth.

  *HARD/ICY SNOW OPTION

The Rider’s Choice received a new core for the 2023 model, which has changed its personality a bit. It's a little stiffer, a little damper and a little less playful. 

This has made it a little more well-rounded to previous iterations, with an improvement in carving and in terms of stability at speed. It's now a little harder to butter and jib with, but you can still do those things. 

And when it comes to jumps, it's still near perfect. 

The Rider’s Choice is also the best equal on this list for hard and icy conditions, so if you encounter those types of conditions a lot, but still want something that feels playful enough, then this is a great option for you.

Board: Never Summer Peacemaker

Flex: Soft (3/10)

Rating: 84.5/100

>>See Full Review

Kicking off the list in # 10 is Never Summer's Peacemaker. 

The Peacemaker is by far the softest board in this list. For anyone who likes to ride the mountain like the park (in addition to riding the actual park like a park!) but likes a nice soft flex, this is the one on the list for you. 

By all rights it probably belongs in the Freestyle category, but those blower stance inserts does give it the ability for a larger setback than most twins - and hence more potential for powder performance on those powder days.

ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE BOARD #9

Board: Capita Outerspace Living

Flex: Medium (5/10)

Rating: 85.6/100

At #9 we have the Outerspace Living. Opposite to the Peacemaker, the Outerspace Living is more on the all-mountain side of all-mountain-freestyle. In fact, it was borderline in the All-Mountain category now that it has a small setback stance. 

I might even reconsider it for that category for next year, but for now it remains in this category and justifiably so, with the way you can ride freestyle on this thing - and the all-mountain side of it ain't bad either.

One of the better powder performers on this list too, in addition to being the lowest price board on this list. Versatile and value for money.

It's more camber dominant and loses the asymmetry the Type Two had - as well as some other changes - see Full Review link above for more details on the changes. 

Despite a number of changes from the Type Two, the Synthesis keeps a lot of the same attributes and is clearly from the same DNA as the Type Two - one of the better boards on the market for riding the whole mountain like a park - and able to carve and bomb well too, when the need arises.

It can lay down a carve, it can jib and it’s not too bad at speed – but where this board really stands out – riding the other direction (aka switch) and on jumps (whether those jumps be of the man made or nature made variety). It's also super quick edge-to-edge. 

It's near perfection for jumps - it's poppy, stable on landings and nice to spin. It's a lively board that is just, for lack of a better word - sharp.

And for good reason - this is a great board for doing everything you want anywhere you want. Like most all-mountain-freestyle decks, it's biggest weakness is in powder - but for everything else, you can't go past it. 

It's a lively board that you can get really playful on when you want to but can also lay down a good carve when the mood takes you. Perfect for riding the mountain, hitting every hit you can find, mixing it up and then hitting the park.
