Or even one of the other women’s snowboards from Bataleon that we’re set to review come next season’s snow (they’re seriously gorgeous, and we can’t wait to rally around on them). Like, for instance, maybe the K2 Cold Shoulder or the Never Summer Proto Type Two.
There are plenty of other sticks in the frozen sea that are bound to speak your love language. Plain and simple, if your riding style and on-snow proclivities are not park-centric or park-minded or even remotely driven by an incessant search for natural jibs and side hits, the Bataleon She W probably isn’t the most optimal board for you.
Designed for terrain parks and overall freestyle riding.” It offers a loose jib feel while the wide centerbase makes it stable on takeoffs, landings, in presses and at high speeds. “The base uplift angle is mellow becoming more dramatic at the widest areas of the board. And the torsional flex, again not noodle-y, just seems to feel, dare I say, perfect? Sure, why not, we’ll go with perfect for now.Īccording to Bataleon, here’s (partly) why : The balance point is, how do you say… peachy. Thanks to its soft (not a noodle) to medium-soft flex, pressing and buttering into the She W feels so damn good. Whether pushing into the tip or tail, with the Bataleon She W you can just lean over and let it hang. Fast forward to the Bataleon She W and its true TWIN 3BT, and I am still a very satisfied snow camper. For several seasons, that thing bestowed upon me many a joyous hour of riding (park and powder and everything else). Years ago (before Gold Snow was ever a thing), after moving to the PNW and deciding that I wanted a board that could excel in the park as well as through powder, I researched the shit out of shit and arrived at the Magic Carpet. Especially in terms of its versatility and ability to support a one-board quiver. Not just because they say it or because of the marketing efforts built around their 3BT or because I’m drinking the Kool-Aid, but rather because I’ve ridden a Bataleon (the Magic Carpet, to be precise) for about three years and I have found it, and its 3BT, to perform gloriously. Or at least that’s what Bataleon says, and I kinda believe them. Translated onto your on-snow experience, 3BT says and does quite a bit more than you might think. Translated onto a board, 3BT essentially looks like a spoon shape in the nose and tail. If you’ve never ridden a Bataleon snowboard, let alone the Bataleon She W, you might not be familiar with the company’s proprietary Triple Base Technology (3BT).
Not sure about Bataleon’s 3BT? Or what the fuck 3BT even stands for? Read on, sisters. You know, -ing shit.Īnd so, park mamacitas and/or womxn who treat the entire mountain as if it were one giant park (which it is, obvs), the Bataleon She W is for you. Dipping into gullies in search of natural side-hits. Sliding rails, pressing boxes, and tapping car hoods. To parse that out: the She W is an ideal board for the perpetually active, present progressive -ing verb tense (yeah, I’m a sucker/nerd for active verbs).
#BATALEON MAGIC CARPET FULL#
Lively, lithe, and full of pep, the Bataleon She W is adept at most any endeavor that centers on creativity and playfulness.
