All agree that this board is a true do it all shred machine. Whether you are just hitting some jibs, lapping the park, dropping into your favorite backcountry line or laying down the meanest carves on your way to the lift, it’s all good…Flex rating: 5 (1 Soft-10 Stiff) The FREESTYLE TBT is the most all-around Triple base shape that will improve your riding in any kind of terrain. With all the advantages of Triple Base Technology, this shape is especially optimized for freestyle with fast and easy edge to edge hold. Impact zones, the good wood core, and poplar birch have sidecut active hardwood enforcement along the sidewall as well as extra reinforced impact zones in the binding areas. Tri-ax laminates over the wood core with Bi-ax under the core creates an easy flex with lots of feel. All Bataleon boards leave the factory with a hand tuned custom stone grind finish. The Synthduded 2555 base is a bit faster than the extruded version and is easy to fix.
