Sorry everyone. I forgot to add in the proper width over the inserts.They are as follows. Front Insert: 26.7cm, 26.3cm, 26.0cm - Back Insert 26.0cm, 26.3cm, 26.7cm
Hey, I tried the Rome agent pro and I really liked it, but I have been really wanting to get the new super doa, I have a freeride board and want a board that will give me the most pop, while being decent at everything else, what has more pop, the super doa or the Rome agent?
Tough call. You get a lot of pop from both so that isn't a problem. The Super DOA has a ton of pop for having so little camber. It's stiffer between the feet too. The Agent Pro has an easier flex in the middle but more camber and more pop near the tip/tail and butters better than almost any board I've tried. I personally prefer the way the almost full camber Agent Pro loads up and springs but the Super DOA is no slouch either and it comes down to personal preference.
I’m really considering this or a Stale Crezer (2024). I have a Roke Ravine in a 158, for free ride pow days. I’m looking for something that’s easy to Ollie and hit jumps and side hits for non pow days. What are your thoughts on these two boards?
Both are fun boards. The Crewzer is pretty technical/stiff but very lively and fun. It feels more aggressive than your ravine in a comparable size so not sure on this. The Agent or Agent Pro is much softer but might be too soft if you want more speed or like a good turn too like you can get with the Crewzer. Tough call. Both don't 100% fit what you are looking for so hard to recommend inside that brand as there isn't a perfect match.

Agent Pro is the best buttering. Ollie power is close but I think it goes to Indoor Survival. Carving is close too but I'd give it to the Agent Pro. Both are great boards and hard to go wrong with either. Go Agent Pro if you see more soft uneven snow though.
Would you consider the rome agent for an intermediate rider who spends all their time on resort groomers? I dont wanna buy a board thats not forgiving enough.
I think you might be happier if you go with something that is more forgiving. Look to something with more early rise. If you want real advice hit me here to give me the info I need to help you much better. shop.thegoodride.com/merchandise/gear-advice/
Love my agent 157 on the jumps/resort, just a true twin guy. Need something a little smaller for the days I don’t leave the park/early season when rails is all there is. Very in between Agent pro 154 and Artifact pro 153. Any thoughts?
Not sure because I don't know your specs or how you ride the park and a lot of other factors. I would say if you love the Agent 157 and just want something smaller go 154 as long as your boots aren't hanging way over. Go Artifact Pro if you want something softer and jib alot.
@@thegoodridesnow I spend a lot more of my time on the larger features especially jump lines but have neglected my rail progression and really looking to get on something a little smaller with rails in mind, will definitely see it’s way around the whole park though. Just want to make sure I’m getting the right thing for that and not just buying another agent cause I’m familiar with it. Appreciate your time brotha
Yeah tough call. It's definitely a jumps (agent pro) vs. jibs (artifact pro) debate you have to have with yourself on this next board. There is definite overlap with both and both have lots of camber/pop. I'd personally go Artifact Pro since you have the Agent already. Then buy the Agent Pro when your Agent is played out.
Honestly i feel your show is better and easier to consume with the music. You are doing snowboard reviews. Unless you’re going to talk about fabrication processes or snowboard technique like tricks and steps where the narrator needs complete focus, giving reviews with no music makes the video harder to consume. That’s my take. I know others would see it different. If i had to compare-i watch different reviewers, i honestly feel that the GoodRide is better than AngrySnowBoarder. Angey is repetitive and predictable in his video format, but I take his reviews and opinions with a grain of salt because his comparisons have a tendency to make no sense, his opinion are sometimes off, and he’s useless in the chat. You never see Angry snowboard on a slope, so how can you validate his reviews and points. I am still dumbfounded that in his 2024 Jones Project X video, he compared it to the Capita Mega Deth, and I was like why. Why wasn’t the 2024 Project X compared to the Nidecker Megalite or any other directional powder-board with fiberglass. It’s like Angry came to the conclusion that they are both light in weight, so they are the same. I would say that the Tribute Lounge is better than the GoodRide, but only in the area where they go in depth into products. Like for example, the reason why Jones has a 6000 and 9000 Freecarver series 2024 models is because the sidecut radius is above 6.0 m or 9.0m. So this affects the way a board carves. What’s not mentioned by others is when the size of the snowboard goes up, the sidecut radius goes up. So for a 6000 series, a 150 has a sidecut radius of 6.2m. A 154 has a sidecut radius is 6.5m. Sidecut radius for a 164 9000 Freecarver board is 9.6m. So as the size gets larger, the sidecut radius goes up almost proportional to the size. It’s these little details that make the Tribute Lounge unique and informative. They point it out when others overlook it.
Thanks for taking the time to give me this constructive feedback. Good to know about the music. I have to play around with it more to find the right volume and music. There aren't many good royalty free songs out there. I'll for sure consider doing more tech talk and yeah...I should have broken down the sidecut differences between the Freecarvers more. Cheers!

@ what’s a compatible board to the Rome agent pro that’s pops a little better? I really liked it but I don’t want to get the exact board as my friend
You might really like the Capita Indoor Survival or Burton Good Company or Jones Tweaker or Tweaker Pro could work.
@@thegoodridesnow would the indoor survival be good for resort riding as well?
Definitely

Hi! Will you do the Rene-gade review next?
Hoping to get it up soon. Sorry I'm soo behind.
Is there a review on the ReneG?
Sorry. So damn behind.
@@thegoodridesnow good content take time! We can wait!
I’m here at the start of 2025. I can snag this board in the $200’s. Would you recommend this board at that price?
If it fits your specs and riding style go for it. If it doesn't you will be $200 further away from a board that works for you.

Fam you always mispronounce the Stale board line. It’s pronounced the same way you’d say “ stale potato chips”. Not “stal aye” like you’re saying now.
It is made for and named after Ståle Sandbech and I am not mispronouncing it.
