We are both going to exhaust all topics in the pre-season, it's just that time of year. I think that it will actually lift both of each other up since our videos will both be recommended off of each other though. There's room for both of us man
Definitely room for both of us. Just find it funny I'll go to post a video on a topic and there's a notification that you did it first. I'm just going to toss a video link to yours in the end of mine.
I don't like your angry commentary and shitty attitude. I've seen your videos and when I find one that explains the exact same thing as you do, I watch it instead. Sorry but you aren't the default product reviewer here. Piss off with your bitching pussy
Been riding the gnu park pickle for 5 years I love it! Other than one rental board I haven't been on anything else. The way I look at it is anything that can help with Heel side turns why not! I'm hesitant to buy a board with out it because Asym is all I know. Keep the videos coming love em man!
Bought the ride helix last year and loved it. And my never summer funslinger arrived today 🙏. Love assym boards (I found out about both from your videos so cheers)
I had no idea what the sidecut radius actually meant, I was always confused when you mention that the sidecut is a bit "deeper". Lots of really insightful, technical videos good job
Hey TJ, in the 80s and early 90s many race boards had asym shapes and asym sidecut radius. (like the Burton Factory Prime) Like with the fish style and asym boards many old ideas are coming back. I'm still waiting for lowback bindings....... Cheers Jens
how to define the heel side? the side with longer arc side or with longer straight length between the two cut points of effective cut??? deeper side means heel side?? Does all the Asymmetric Snowboard (ex. GNU, NS, Ride) have the same heel side as the long side or short side?
I have a gnu riders choice. It’s an asymmetrical board. It seems like the heel edge slips out easier. Any thoughts or experiences on Gnu’s asym. Boards doing that? Thanks! 🙏
Are you bending your knees and sitting in the chair when doing heel turns? If you are not you are still going to wash out even though the heel sidecut is deeper.
I just purchased an asym twin board, however Im regular footed and dont know which is the heel-side edge. How can I tell? Im pretty confused on this concept. When I think twin I think of the stance of bindings doesnt matter
It’s so weird for me. When I’m skateboarding I’m naturally frontside but when I’m snowboarding I’m naturally backside (toeside). Just sit deep in your chair and lean back hard while keeping your shoulders parallel. It takes a while but you’ll get it. It’s all about finding that sweet spot, try rocking your intermediate heel turns a little bit more until you start controlling the edge then just keep progressing after that
It's a board that makes it difficult to assess how to turn lol. I don't understand what's good about it. To me it makes me almost hit stuff easier and forget how to turn
You're killing me here TJ, every time I go to put up an Explained video you drop something like this.

@Scraxkat What are you going to do when we do a collab?

@@victormarchesoni2482 think you're just a lil soft
Still confused how this channel only has 10k subs... Awesome vid!
thanks so much Sean

Glad you decided to pull the trigger on the Twin Pig! I have the Warpig sitting behind me right now, just counting the minutes until opening day!
oh yeah, can't wait to ride that thing!
Bought the ride helix last year and loved it. And my never summer funslinger arrived today 🙏. Love assym boards
(I found out about both from your videos so cheers)
both awesome boards! enjoy!
I think I'm buying the 2019 version of that board, still deciding though.
Just started snowboarding, a little later in life than I always wanted to, started in March 2018, got myself an asym' GNU Carbon Credit and I love it.
Any tips for an old noob? I skateboard and have about a month before I head to Aspen.
Great explanation and content man, i think these vids can really help newer riders too. I didn’t realize the twin pig was asym. Pray for snow. 🤙🏼
thanks Rob!
I really like this technical videos. Keep it up TJ! Personally I like asym boards and the extra grip bonus you get from it.
I just copped the GNU Riders Choice...this is my first asym...looking forward to trying it out . Love this vid TJ
Just got the 2021 today hope it good
Very good information. It's nice to hear from someone who has ridden many asym boards.
thanks Jason
The biggest advantage asym has for me is that its easier to roll it on the heel edge. But like TJ said, it isnt a deal breaker
T j we lov yr videos down here in New Zealand. U r very informative with all yr videos cheers bro
I have one! It feels so good for me
Shout out to the NeverSummer Proto2...my favorite Asymmetrical snowboard
Thank you so much I was really confused about asym boards
Gnu space case asym. A little hooky at first but after you get the feel, you can lock in a heel carve.
I had no idea what the sidecut radius actually meant, I was always confused when you mention that the sidecut is a bit "deeper". Lots of really insightful, technical videos good job
That's sick looking board TJ, informative vlog as always... huge fan! ;-)

I picked up a 2019 NS Proto, rocking that asym board this season.
Me too!
how to define the heel side? the side with longer arc side or with longer straight length between the two cut points of effective cut???
deeper side means heel side??
Does all the Asymmetric Snowboard (ex. GNU, NS, Ride) have the same heel side as the long side or short side?
please could you do a review on the new magic carpet !!??
I know i dont need an asym board......but they sure do look fun!!!!!
they are something a little different!
add spring break twin to the list. all it needs is a wide and it would be amazing.
hi there - it is not easy to find more info about this board - share some thought, please.
Is the WarPig not a directional ASYM?
Nice uninterrupted delivery TJ....😀
thanks
Great video, subbed 🙂
What do you think of the CAPiTA Spring Break Twin?
Its an awesome carver and super poppy. If you can get one at a reasonable price, buy it.
it looks awesome but have not ridden it yet
Ive tried a Bataleon asym once, forgot the exact model but you defo know it lol
haha yes the ETA! discontinued unfortunately
Should do a how to euro carve tutorial
“Every quiver needs a pig” tj 2018 👌👌
I have a (war)pig - and trying to cell it.
I have a gnu riders choice. It’s an asymmetrical board. It seems like the heel edge slips out easier. Any thoughts or experiences on Gnu’s asym. Boards doing that?
Thanks! 🙏
Are you bending your knees and sitting in the chair when doing heel turns? If you are not you are still going to wash out even though the heel sidecut is deeper.
with asym and magne traction it should hold pretty well, keep practicing!
Hi TJ. Why did you pick up Ride Twinpig as a personal board for this season? What were the major factors which pushed you to buy this ASYM?
Great video, finally I get it! Can anyone tell me, is the yes basic an asymmetrical board? Thanks
super informative!! nice :)
I just purchased an asym twin board, however Im regular footed and dont know which is the heel-side edge. How can I tell? Im pretty confused on this concept. When I think twin I think of the stance of bindings doesnt matter
The edge that is thicker will most likely be the heel edge. Usually they have text on the board that says this too but maybe not. On mine it does.
i don’t need help on my heel side turns, i need help on my toe side. idk why it’s different for me
It’s so weird for me. When I’m skateboarding I’m naturally frontside but when I’m snowboarding I’m naturally backside (toeside). Just sit deep in your chair and lean back hard while keeping your shoulders parallel. It takes a while but you’ll get it. It’s all about finding that sweet spot, try rocking your intermediate heel turns a little bit more until you start controlling the edge then just keep progressing after that
Or just crank down the forward lean on your bindings.
that will definitely give you more heel response
I think that does increase slippage tho
I really want to get GOOD at jibbing in these next couple years. Will asym be ok?
Yeah no problem there
What is that song at the end of the video???
i love my asim board yhe gnu pickle
Have you rode this years, Yes Greats?
not yet, but I did ride the 17/18 version
Board Archive get on it TJ
😮
