Early season park laps at Woodward Copper with some friends! This was my second day riding my new snowboard for the 2021 season, the Bataleon Goliath 156. I chose this snowboard to focus on jump progression this year, looking for something that was a little bit more stable compared to the Evil Twin I rode last season. I'm loving it so far and will be making a detailed review later in the season once I get more time on snow since this will be my personal board for the year! Things are shaping up here in Colorado with more snow on the way this week. Thanks for watching.

Sooo love your vids man! Keep shredding! Thanks for the upload 🔥🔥
Looking super smooth, TJ, effortless flow.
Looked comfortable on that Goliath. Looking forward to the future VIDS of the progression.
Sick edit, TJ!
That front 3 shifty was dope.
Love the videos keep up the good work
That thumbnail is unreal
So beast
TJ’s impeccable style
so sick
Not REALly..., 👍💯
Thanks man my friend Todd killed it with the photo 🙌🏼
Picked up a Goliath after I watched this. Just rode it for the first time today at keystone, such a fun board. Excited to see you review it!
This video is so perfect! Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱
Banger of a video omg. So many sick tricks. Andy is steezy af !!
Ba ba ba banger?
Big props TJ. Between your videos and Kevin's over at SnowboardProCamp I've really improved my riding last season and hoping to keep getting better this season. Learned a ton about boards themselves from you too. Thanks for the hard work, stay safe this season!
Thanks Myles hope you have a great season man!
This was a great video!
Dope ass edit. Absolutely love the music sample too. 🤙🏼. Sick to see Jenise too.
Thanks Rob! 🤘🏼
great riding!
Legit edit and riding 👊🏼👍🏼
This board is sold out everywhere now! Thanks TJ!
They should have made more! Haha
👌🏻
Fire vid G
Such great style TJ!
🙌🏼
This is exactly what my 11 year old daughter needed to add some excitement to our smaller hill in the backyard.
Nice video! Copper is my favorite spot so far
Purchased from Bataleon website....used at Breck on 3/24 and Keystone on 3/25.....Effin love this board. Used Step On bindings with DC boots. The combo for me is amazing!
love to hear that man! Enjoy it!
We have Woodward parks at Mt Bachelor too 👌🏼
Surprised you didn’t go with the Boss since you love the Evil Twin so much. It’s the identical shape but they stiffened it up for all mountain freestyle 🙌🏼
I've got the Jam I've ridden a few tbt boards. I feel the tbt work very well with stiffer boards as tbt can feel a bit washy on softer boards, but the stiff, The Jam makes it more friendly and powerful. Tbt works great on the stiffer boards.
Tj I'm sure you'll love the added support from your new board
Exact same expérience with me. Been riding for 1
25 years and 15 right next to the french resorts and rode several bataleon. Same conclusion, i loved the jam and stiff bataleon boards. Softer tbt boards are actually more technical to ride because you really need to stay centered on a landing not to overpivot.
Great riding in woodward copper
Can't wait for your full review of the Goliath and how it compares to the Evil Twin (new favorite Bataleon? ) PS: which bindings will be better on it TJ, the Atlas ore Strata's?
4:31 uuuh close call xD love it!
Gnarly bud 🙌
Nice Board. Got a older one. But I really like it
Tj’s carves ... 👌👌👌
Some of the best content out there. Nice job tj!
Thanks man!
all of are snow melted 😭😭 so we are waiting for more
Great video as always!
Got the Goliath 156, and can’t decide between the Union Atlas or the Strata for this board…
Can you please give your opinion on how it would ride with either of these bindings?
Thanks!🙏
sickkkkkkkkkkk video!
as always you killed it!! QUESTION! what about 3BT is not good for carving or high speed riding due to its 3BT? you explained that with evil twin but here not sure. I really really want a bataleon!!
Dear TJ. Hope your doing well. I had a quick question: witch Bindings are better to for on my Goliath, the Atlas ore Strata's? Thnx in advance and keep up the great videos bro✌
1:45 That seemed like a really close one.
Nice video, nice board.
Yooo
Great board. Just got the stallion
ayo TJ that giveaway is sick i would love to win lol. great videos, they never fail to inform me on new ways of riding and new boards to lookout for.
Nice vid TJ!
55 base at timberline already, no '' preseason parks'' just 3 full terrain parks now, 4th one coming soon, and up to 62 inches of snow in the forecast for the next week!
Jealous! Enjoy it dude
Team Bataleon hell yea. I got the Disaster 2021 myself for that juicy jib and butter progression.
solid choice, you liking it?
@@BoardArchive totally. It's all i ever wanted from a board. Feels effortless.
I'm pretty dialed in with the bataleon and lobster brands for the future.
So much steeze 🤙beautiful Board my man, enjoy
Thank you my dude
Somebody put the brakes on quick at 5:04... don’t ya just love it when people stand at the bottom of a jump?! 😂
Oh gosh
dafuq..... its off a feature and thats a decent distance.
You do park at all ?
Andy was going off!!! LOL
🔥🔥
Please do a Bataleon the one review can’t find anything anywhere on it and looks like a banging board
Just got the evil twin, loving it so far. Waiting for more to open up on the east coast
Whereabouts on East Coast?
Yeah? I’m in NJ. Where do you board?
Upstate NY and Vermont
You should definitely check out Jiminy Peak in west MA. Really good conditions so far this season but it might be a hike if you’re closer to VT
Sounds good, I've been doing okemo(probably my favorite mountain) and snow cause they're on the epic. But I wouldn't mind checking out somewhere new.
How would you say this board compares to the boss? Stiffness pretty similar? Curious about the pop and stability as well!
Thanks TJ. 👍
I looking at my first bataleon. What are your thoughts between the Boss and the Goliath? Currently rocking the K2 Party Platter 152. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Take the Boss!
I went from the Goliath to the Boss and use the board for all mountain riding.
I don’t know your shoesize but with 44(eu) you don’t need a wide ( I got the Boss 157 and 159)
The 2021 model is a little bit stiffer than the years before and now it has the same stiffnes as the Goliath.
The Boss has also a faster base than the Goliath.
The Goliath is a great board but the Boss is better.
You are going to enjoy both boards more than the Party platter because they are faster and have better handling on piste.
I also have the 2020 Party Platter and it is a great board in pow conditions but in normal piste conditions it is a slow an exhausting board, mainly because of the waistwidth of 27cm.
I had the 2012 Goliath, it was a pretty noodlie board in my opinion. I had it one season and it delaminated on me.
Great video thanks for sharing!
Come on peeps 17k views and only 700 likes!?! Wtf! Come on people show your boy TJ some love! 😎
Thank you my guy!
Board aside your riding has progressed a lot.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tj do one on the niche crux
Can't wait for the more detailed review. My Bataleon the one just broke but it's covered under warranty and the team was absolutely fantastic. I am stuck choosing between The Jam and The Goliath. Lack of reviews on both at the moment as it still early season. Do you have any advice to help me decide? did you consider the Jam?
Happened to my 20 and 21 Goliath too, that is what I found to be the downside of Bataleon.. did the sidewall and edge split?
I'd recommend the Boss if you're mostly riding park or Thunder as an All Mountain freeride.
@@AdamRuss no part of the bataleon logo fell out of the base!!! 😱 that’s concerning that their board have these issues though. I really want a board I can progress my tricks on. The one was great but it was really just a hard charging carver but wasn’t great for switch or popping etc I feel the thunder would be the same. The boss is more park orientated isn’t it?
What had been your daily driver or park board progression of boards? I've got a Salomon Sanchez and struggle for confidence on jumps. Intermediate rider on the rest of mountain. Thinking of the evil twin... Should I go something hybrid?
Nothing like laps with friends...
I had last year's goliath, rode it 8 times last season & the edge started separating from the sidewall. Bataleon's warranty replaced it for this year's model and the exact same thing happened after 4 days of riding. Has anyone else had this issue with Bataleon?
Hey, nice vid man!!!👍
A tip to vid description, when kickin a new board.
My hight and weight is....
My boot size is....
With this said... reason:
I'm also on Evil Twin now and loving it..a156
But I'm looking for a Goliath also....but not sure of the size I should get or if I need Wide.
My previous board was a Burton Custom 162W.
This said....how tall R ya and your boot size for that 1 5 6??
I'm asking this so I have a starting reference point or something I can compare to.
Myself...since I'm in Europe
I'm 183cm (6" something i guess) and standing on size 11 ThirtyTwo Mullair
Thanks for the video! I am looking to buy the Goliath but I can’t decide between the Goliath and the mountain twin. How would you compare these both?cheers!
Yoooooo 5:04 that was nasty
yewww steez
Hey TJ, for reference , what's your weight and boots size and height? Why you chose the Goliath 156 cm over a shorter?
Thanks!
I rode the Evil Twin about 3 days. I notice that the base is not that durable. I see scratches on the base just from riding grommers. I didn't hit that many rails and boxes. I'm coming from a Never Summer Funslinger board. I rode the Funslinger board for over 4 seasons all over the mountain & park and the board barely has any scratches on the topsheet or base. Bataleon 3BT base tech also takes some getting used to.
I have had similar problems with Bataleon, i find them to be very fragile
TJ what do I say is better for beginners evil twin or Goliath on 5’10” 260 which board do u recommend
Hi TJ. K2 bindings?
Review on the new Capita Indoor Survival?? Picked mine up the other day
I reviewed that one last season
They changed it up slightly from last season, carbon instead of titanal🤷♂️. Picked mine up from @angrysnowboarders review.
What are thoughts between Goliath and jones mountain twin? I can’t decide between the 2.
Hey man whats your thoughts on the thunder?
Do you guys keep the lining on with your sandbox helmets? I'm debating taking it out along with the velcro.
I take mine out
Bataleon Goliath or yes standard ? Or Jones mountain twin ?
Goliath or mercury? Need to.buy board tonight please lmk asap
What the difference between this and the whatever?
Looking for a new board this year. Considering Bataleon, but leaning more toward the Boss. I haven't seen many reviews, so I was wondering about thoughts on the Boss or Goliath for intermediate use on groomers and some park. Main focus this year is improving jumping and riding switch. Other options I'm considering: Yes Greats, Super DOA, Capita Mercury. Any thoughts?
The Goliath is a bit stiffer than the boss and has their directional outline. Still very freestyle friendly though and a fun jump board. The Boss is their premium park board though so if thats your main focus i'd lean towards that. The greats and super DOA could be good alternatives to the boss ( there should be reviews on the channel for the greats and super doa). The mercury is great but is more all-mountain leaning and more comparable to the goliath, it also has a slight setback if I remember correctly
@@BoardArchive Thanks for the reply. I'm actually looking at the Greats and Super DOA as well. I've been told the Super may beyond my skill level, but love the tech
@@TwistedPixelsJosh you probably don't need to spend that much money on a board at this point in your snowboarding yet then, but I don't think you'd dislike it
Great video. Does that board have a good pop?
Solid pop
I just got this board. Same year, on a sale in a local shop. Board is great, a little softer than I thought. Great for Park
This video should be sent to the authorities, because y'all killed it out there.
👾
Thoughts on the iguchi pro camber as a daily driver?
Great choice! One of my favorite all-mtn boards. Slightly less park friendly than the Goliath but better for exploring
What size is ur board ? And how tall are you ? Just wondering what ur set up is also what stance is yours set to on bindings ?
That’s the goliath 156, I’m 5’10 150lbs. Bindings are at 15, -15
"Shake some rust off" proceeds to do a fatty lip right off the bat
It’s the go to
🤣🤣
Very unexpected board choice this year! I'm on the Boss this year and also really like the goliath! What size you rocking?
I’m really loving it so far, the boss was a close 2nd. I’m riding the 156
@@BoardArchive I’m a similar size to you but no where near as good. Most of my time is on piste trying freestyle tricks and the odd park lap ( but even that is just on the jumps not really into jibbing ), I also really enjoy carving, would you go 153 for more freestyle play or will that be too small ?
Have you tried the gnu finest
Edit: it the new and Improved space case
Not yet
How would this compare to the Capita Super DOA?
Hey TJ, any chance for an information what's your height and weight? I'm currently considering buying a Goliath as well but I'm not sure if I should pick 156 or 159, I'm 5'11 and I weigh about 160-165 pounds.
Love your videoes, keep up the good work! :)
What did you go with?
@@jgm113 I bought 156 and I'm very happy with it, It's a very versatile board :)
@@maciejkordas2090 did you consider the 153? I’m similar size to you, wanted the extra stiffness of this over the evil twin for carving but I’m thinking about going to 153 for more freestyle fun ?
@@jimsdrivingschool Hey Jim, not really to be honest. This board was meant to be a hard charger board that is still able to ride switch so I didn't want it to be too short. I'm lucky to also have an older Bataleon Whatever which is a lot flexier and serves me as the freestyle board :)
@@maciejkordas2090 right that’s interesting cheers. I was considering the whatever as it leans more to freestyle ( that’s what I enjoy and do mostly ) but I did want something that’ll carve well too.
Have you tried any Burton boards lately?
Not lately but will this season for sure
Damn what’s your binding angle degree ? Brother ?
Hey they are set to 15,-15
Hey bro! Have you moved out of Whistler? Miss seeing you around !
Yeah moved back to CO when the borders closed
@@BoardArchive I hope you are healthy and safe and shredding Gods are with you 🤘
0:33 Slippers!
Definitely
What is the board you are using?
its the Bataleon Goliath
What Editor Did You Use??
premiere pro
Ok 👍 thanks for responding
What music was used in this video??
Epidemic sounds not sure the name of the track
Ok 👍 thanks 😊
Hello. I have 171cm and 70 kg, is the goliath 153 to big for me?
I think it's a bit small, because it's not a park oriented board
If you look on their website then you will see that the 153 is suited for riders with a max weight of 70kg.
The 156 would be a better choice and will give you also a bit more float in powder.
@@eigusteeen thank you. I was THINKING is to big for me. And if i want to buy a twin ( gnu the finest) what zise should i buy? The goliath i allrady buy it (153)
@@iljajonker9303 yes, but i have just 171 High.
@@alexgheorghe6961 , that’s no problem your weight is more important than your body length, your boot size can also be important if you have big feet.
The extra lengt also gives you more stability.
The 153 is to small for you.
If you want to have a twin, you also can consider a Bataleon Boss instead of the Goliath.
But do you drive it?
Daily
thats crazy cause the evil twin was too stiff for me
Evil twin is like med-soft to mid flex
homie get a parking pass lol
1:45 - did you crash? haha
Lol no but it was a close call
“Batallion”…..it’s not “batallion” kids, look up the word god damn
