Top 5 Aggressive All-Mountain-Freestyle Snowboards 2023-2024

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE BOARD #5

Board: Capita Super D.O.A

Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)

Rating: 89.2/100

>>See Full Review

Starting off the list at #5, we have Capita's Super D.O.A.

The bigger burlier brother of the Capita Defenders of Awesome (D.O.A), the Super D.O.A is a slightly stiffer ride that also packs even more pop. 

It's also super light - getting air on this deck is a thing of beauty. You have easy access pop, but also a high pop ceiling when you really wind it up - and with all that pop and a feather weight, you might be a little surprised the first time you launch this thing of a jump - so take it easy! 

But then when you land, you can still really stomp those landings - whilst at the same time not being  pretty forgiving of bad landings.

But while jumping is this boards forte, it's not the only thing it excels at. It can lay a really decent carve and is really good at speed.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE BOARD #4

Board: Nidecker Gamma APX

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)

Rating: 89.2/100

>>See Full Review

Next up, at #4, we have Nidecker's Gamma APX. 

The Gamma APX is new for 2024 (though did have an early release towards the end of the 2022-2023 season). This is the only Asym board in this list and is the bigger brother of the Gamma (non-APX version). 

The Gamma APX has no real weaknesses (except maybe powder) and rips all over the mountain.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE BOARD #3

Board: Salomon Assassin Pro

Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)

Rating: 90.3/100

>>See Full Review

Next up, in the #3 spot, is the Salomon Assassin Pro - the big brother to the Assassin.

This board is one of those boards that you can ride aggressively on, when you feel for it, but that you can also slow down and ride more casually when you want to, like when you're getting tired. 

Overall, it's super light, poppy, snappy and lively and apart from jibbing, it's a take-you-anyway, ride-anyway-you-want kind of ride. The best on this list for riding powder, IMO, too, so if you want an aggressive freestyle-oriented ride, that can also be your one board quiver, the Assassin Pro should be high on your list.

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE BOARD #2

Board: YES Standard Uninc

Flex: Medium-Stiff (6.5/10)

Rating: 91.5/100

>>See Full Review

In at #2, we have YES' Standard Uninc. 

The Standard Uninc is a slightly stiffer, full camber version of the longstanding Standard.

The result is a more aggressive ride, but one that's still not going to overpower you too easily, so long as you're at least a solid intermediate rider. This is a super versatile ride that will have you ripping everywhere. 

It's also somewhat powder capable, owed somewhat to an extra set of inserts placed behind the regular insert pack (called "slam back inserts").

AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE BOARD #1

Board: Burton Freethinker

Flex: Medium-Stiff (7/10)

Rating: 93.2/100

>>See Full Review

And finally in at #1, we have Burton's Free Thinker. 

This is still an overall aggressive, powerful board, but it's also got an ability to be more forgiving when you need it to be.

It's light and snappy and just great to ride, especially when carving up the groomers, hitting and spinning off whatever side-hit you can find and hitting the jump line in the park.

This was one of those boards that I just didn't want to stop riding - and one where you can't take the grin off your face, even if your life depended on it!
