Typo, i don’t think i expected much from this board and i wasn’t really too familiar with the YES. First up was the board that i had prejudged to be my favourite and perhaps already the winner, the Bataleon Evil Twin, it certainly looked pretty rad and the brand and name were so cool i felt like a rockstar just carrying it! A few runs down the Snozone indoor real ski slope and i was pretty impressed, it certainly felt a lot more versatile than my Bataleon Omni. After a quick blitz home to grab my bindings (currently running K2, read the review here) and kit i was ready to demo 3 boards that were on my shortlist.
When i rocked up at The Snowboard Asylum i was pretty stoked to find out that they actually offer demos on a handful of snowboards that they stock, and seeing as the have the Milton Keynes Snozone indoor real snow slope next door, i think that’s an epic idea. The Snowboard Asylum in Milton Keynes and see a few of the boards on my shortlist in the flesh. After a few evenings of online research, reading reviews and scoping out manufacturer websites to see what they say about their boards, i decided to visit Ellis Brigham a.k.a. I was now armed with the knowledge that i was now hunting for a decent all-mountain board that was rigid enough to carve quickly down the piste, provide enough flex for a few laps of the park and be responsive enough to handle a bit of off-piste powder should the occasion arise. This helped me start to put together a bit of a spec for my next snowboard and build a bit of a shortlist.
Typo 158 snowboard review is my learnings from my rookie mistake and a story of how things turn out alright in the end! After my second season of boarding, i had progress relatively well and was comfortable on most runs on the mountain and had even started lapping the park learning some beginner tricks.
