Love that you’re doing binding recommendations now on the reviews. That’s super helpful and adds another dimension to understand the overall flex and character of the board.
I got one and I think it is super versatile and can actually do everything, might need a stiffer board if you are a very aggressive carver, I love it and don’t really feel any compromising anywhere
Excellent review, Avran! I love how, especially this season, you're digging deep into the subtleties of how each board performs. Both Angry Snowboarder and Board Archive are putting out really good content right now!
Interesting review, thought it would go one of two ways and glad now I didn’t buy into the early hype. Ended up pulling the trigger on an Amplid Dada at 50% off which arrived today. Great reviews 👍
Sounds a little overhyped to me.. Glad I waited to hear your review on it. I have heard similar comments that it's unique, it's NOT your everyday shred stick, and only excels in certain conditions. Even heard someone comment that it turns like shit because it's too soft in the tip and tail.
Bought this late last season to rip a tree line after some pow drops. Can’t wait to see how she acts. I’m rocking cartels.... (which are a little “cheaply built” for the price), but reliable.
I got my Bataleon Magic Carpet last season and then this thing got announced and given how much I love my regular Mind Expander I thought I had made a bad choice. But man I love the Magic carpet, and it sounds like the ME twin is kinda a similar (but inferior?) version of it... maybe less stable carving/on groomers and in the park? I'd still like to demo one.
Hey! Great reviews, really in depth What would you recommend for the best Freestyle/All mountain board? Where I live there aint alot of powder days, in fact it's mostly icy and cant do much about it (Quebec). I was thinking about getting the capita indoor survival maybe? Paired with my Burton Cartel bindings.
Hi there, need a piece of advice over this board. My weight is 85-90kg, boot size US9, height 177, which size would fit better for this parameters? Thx in advance!
So I have a MT. I was looking to add to the quiver with a more powder capable, volume shifted nimble, but soft board and am considering this board. Am I gonna find this too similar to the MT. I am 57 so a cruisy soft powder board seems appealing.
Quick question are they doing an ultra for 2022? I had the chance to test it but it lacks some oemph. Or another twin(ish) wide pow board that carves? Maybe a korua TF ? I’m in Europe and can’t get the marhar lumberjack without insane shipping. Like some volume shift but that is a bonus not a necessity
See above comment, look at original question, then realize you are not getting the answer you want because you're not asking the questions you need to.
Dang… sorta sad about this one. I love my regular mind expander and wanted a twin one, but the reason I’m getting rid of my old powder twin is because I overpower the nose and tail. Don’t really want to do the same thing with another new deck
Angry, Jones keeps slipping the shipping date for my MET 154- so I am losing my enthusiasm. Do you have recommendations for similar / better boards that are similar (volume shifted, "surfy", slashy, edge to edge transitions.) Is your "Party board" categories fall into this same area?
Forces. Stratas are OK. Also just because I recommend something to work with something doesn't mean I magically love them. I put stuff that works together so people can see what's out there.
@@AngrySnowboarder cool that’s what I was looking for when I locked in the pre order for the 2022 few weeks ago. But Coming from a ultra mtn twin sounds like it’s gunna be an adjustment, surfing was my first sport hoping to unlock some of that surf’s cruise feel. Thanks for the review!

2022 reviews are insane so far, so much details and helpful contents! Thanks!
I got one and I think it is super versatile and can actually do everything, might need a stiffer board if you are a very aggressive carver, I love it and don’t really feel any compromising anywhere
The binding recommendations are super helpful, keep it coming. Keep it up
Awesome and honest review. I’m glad I got the UMT instead. Angry reviews are next level this season with the addition of binding recommendations!
Very interesting. I was not certain how this deck would ride and you confirmed my suspicions. Think I’ll just get the regular Mind Expander 🙏
Most people are going to buy this board because of how it looks.
Excellent review, Avran! I love how, especially this season, you're digging deep into the subtleties of how each board performs. Both Angry Snowboarder and Board Archive are putting out really good content right now!
Best reviews out there, keep it up Avran!!
Interesting review, thought it would go one of two ways and glad now I didn’t buy into the early hype. Ended up pulling the trigger on an Amplid Dada at 50% off which arrived today. Great reviews 👍
Sounds like it might be a fun board for slushy, spring days.

Wow, great review man, very insightful
Bought this late last season to rip a tree line after some pow drops. Can’t wait to see how she acts. I’m rocking cartels.... (which are a little “cheaply built” for the price), but reliable.
Is the powder twin segment big enough to have its own Top 5?
Oh there's a list coming.
I wish Slim would call mid review.. I'd like to hear him review a board..
Love your channel dude. Wondering if you have a recommendation for which NOW binding might go best with this board?
Brigade or Pilot.
This review drops the day after my MET is supposed to ship! Pls provide some binding suggestions!
Scroll down in the description, whole new AMAZING world of things awaits you.
@@AngrySnowboarder It’s beautiful!

Magic Carpet > Mind Expander Twin.
Nice angry broboarder. Real nice 👍🏿 bro
Will you be doing a review on the 2022 Ride Warpig? Would love to see one!
Eventually.
Would you say the 154 we be a decent all mountain choice for a 40 yr old 175 lb 5’8” intermediate ? West coast groomers and sidecountry. Thx man
No.
Hey! Great reviews, really in depth

Do it.
@@AngrySnowboarder Any thoughts on the T. Rice Pro 2022? Will you make a review on it?
@@boratsagdiev69 no
Hi there, need a piece of advice over this board. My weight is 85-90kg, boot size US9, height 177, which size would fit better for this parameters? Thx in advance!
58
any impressions of this one vs marhar lumberjack?
Well I own 2 Lumberjacks so...
Love the reviews ! But why did you choose the 158 over the 154?
Thing called personal preference.
"ur gonna overflex it and eat shit and die" dear god ive never laughed so hard in ma life, ive related on so many boards lol.
So I have a MT. I was looking to add to the quiver with a more powder capable, volume shifted nimble, but soft board and am considering this board. Am I gonna find this too similar to the MT. I am 57 so a cruisy soft powder board seems appealing.
If you go with the 54 probably not. It'll be more loose in the tips making it more buttery.
@@AngrySnowboarder TY- that is what I am looking for.
Crazy. You literally explained exactly how I felt about the Smokin Jetson. Thoughts Avran?
I always liked the Jetson.
This board is so awesome
Quick question are they doing an ultra for 2022? I had the chance to test it but it lacks some oemph. Or another twin(ish) wide pow board that carves? Maybe a korua TF ? I’m in Europe and can’t get the marhar lumberjack without insane shipping. Like some volume shift but that is a bonus not a necessity
No Ultra. I'd do the Otto over the TF.
@@AngrySnowboarder are you doing a 2023 review, i have heard they changed the board. curious how it rides now.
@@WAco-se9wf I am
Hey, I'm trying to choose between storm chaser, wolf, mind expander, what do you think is the best one for powder and freeriding? thanks
All of them, none of them. Really vague question here bud.
@@AngrySnowboarder blyat u are unique dude lol, please expand your asnwer you are the pro
See above comment, look at original question, then realize you are not getting the answer you want because you're not asking the questions you need to.
what's your recommendation on the best 'resort powder' twin and/or directional twin?
Bataleon Magic Carpet.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks! i thought you were going to say marhar lumberjack but sounds good!!!
What do you think is the best powder twin board ?
There's a few that stick out to me currently. But the best to date that I've ever ridden was the Amplid Pillow Talk.
Do ya think the magic carpet is closer to the amplid pillow talk, or this??
Magic Carpet.
Dang… sorta sad about this one.
I love my regular mind expander and wanted a twin one, but the reason I’m getting rid of my old powder twin is because I overpower the nose and tail. Don’t really want to do the same thing with another new deck
Sounds like a descent board to jib off the helmets of mouth breathers, sitting down at the chairlift unloading area, to strap up.
Angry, Jones keeps slipping the shipping date for my MET 154- so I am losing my enthusiasm. Do you have recommendations for similar / better boards that are similar (volume shifted, "surfy", slashy, edge to edge transitions.) Is your "Party board" categories fall into this same area?
You might like the Bataleon Magic Carpet.
@@AngrySnowboarder hey, thanks. I will give it a look
Thought you hated/disliked the hype of Stratas. Did they revamp them?
Forces. Stratas are OK. Also just because I recommend something to work with something doesn't mean I magically love them. I put stuff that works together so people can see what's out there.
@@AngrySnowboarder okay thanks! :)
jones needs to drop the 3D on a few of the boards.
I like the 3d. That being said, the 3d 3.0 is a bit much. 3d 2.0 and 1.0 are great
YES!!!
He’s obviously not looking for the surf feel
Sounds like you gotta surf the board really
Pretty much. This board is loose.
@@AngrySnowboarder cool that’s what I was looking for when I locked in the pre order for the 2022 few weeks ago. But Coming from a ultra mtn twin sounds like it’s gunna be an adjustment, surfing was my first sport hoping to unlock some of that surf’s cruise feel. Thanks for the review!
if you were a potato how would you like to be cooked?
Left in the sun to rot and then thrown at people who ask stupid questions.
snowboarder that got no videos how he rides... yea u can talk. i dont like that kind of vids.
Do you go to the car dealership and ask to see the salesperson drive? Same concept buddy.
You sit down to strap in, so shut the fuck up.
Theres literally videos of him riding in his old videos lol relax
