Looking for some advice... Iv'e had a few boards over the years and currently riding a YES Basic. Cracking board for my style but looking to upgrade. Still want a mid-flex all mountain board with a fast base as I like to hoon it about when safe. Thinking of Amplid Paradigma, Stepchild FTW or the Arbour Coda/Element. What's your thoughts?


Cheers.

Re: Clash of the Snowboards

You really need to demo all three. But God knows how. Snow+Rock stock the Element, so you can prob ride that at Hemel/Manchester etc. Ellis Brigham stock Stepchild... but not the FTW. Amplid... hmmm, not sure. Not in most of the big boys...

My choice? Well, I'm tight. After all, you never know when a rock will appear, like a scud rocket to your base. So I'd go for the FTW. A third cheaper than the others, rides well and what's not to like about Frankenstein between your legs.
