Hi all, I have been riding a Bataleon TBT for the last few years and Its definitely the best board iv ridden, it a shame rental shops dont hire out these boards so more people could see how much difference the TBT makes. Cheers Bataleon, You've got me hook on TBT

Just picked up my 2011 Jam, just love that TBT thing. I think for me this sums up the difference between TBT and flat boards. Flat boards are like cars they move on 4 points like a car. No matter how flash they are they all handle very similar and tun in the same way. TBT rides more like a motorbike the weight is in the centre and you can flick it edge to edge real quick, lead it over hard and it just bites. The Jam is so responsive the more you push it the better the ride. I find myself hitting every thing faster and harder just coz I love the pop :)

I have never ridden anything like it, my first ever board was a &#&t0n C*nd$m which apparantly doesn't catch edges, thats not the case, i sprained my wrist because it did catch a wrist, luckily the graphic started peeling and i sent it back to &#&t0n and they have me a store credit, after talking to one of Bataleon's riders Matty, he gave me a Bataleon demo, and i was blown away. I only had 2 runs on it and thats all it took to buy. I bought a Bataleon 153 Fun Kink, it is the most playful fun board I have ever ridden, you get amazing pop, you CAN'T catch an edge, its really flexible and is super light. I have never ridden a board that will actually bounce ur board off an edge. For me there is no other company in the way of boards,I love my Bataleon Fun Kink and will never ride another brand. Thanks Bataleon Yea For it! :)

Damn, been riding the good stuff for a couple of years now, last week I had to rent a board (no tbt) and man I missed my goliath! Waiting for the winter now, so I can ride again. YEAH for that!

TBT is definitely a love or hate thing.I really,really wanted to like TBT because the theory surrounding it makes perfect sense and it DOES carve like a dream! However, I'm just not feeling it for freestyle.I don't like not being able to feel my edges underfoot on snow/boxes/rails/run-ins, guess I've just been ridin good old flat boards too long.I would recommend testing one out to see if it's right for you before you buy.

Feel like I've won a prize being one of 200 to own the batazion. Only thing that could replace my funkink. Blessed the TbT stable. Jah bless mr b

About two weeks before leaving for my first snowboarding holiday of last season a friend of mine showed me the TBT-clip on youtube. Stunned and impressed I started looking for stores that sold Bataleon boards. After some serious thinking (i had recently purchased a new board already) I descided to go with my gut-feeling and buy a Omni 163. In Sölden Austria I strapped on and shredded down hill like on an auto-pilot mode. Absolutely phenomenal. I've been snowboarding for 12 years now, tried several boards and this omni 163 beats all by far! In my second boarding week I took my board to the parks in Fiss, Austria and this is where difference was unmistakebly showing. Sticking jumps, getting more air all the benefits as presented in the youtube clip are absolutely true. My TBT Omni 163 is here to stay and I can't see me riding anything else than TBT from now on. Yeah for it! ;-)

Would never ride anything but Bataleon now. I'm an intermediate, but snowboarding always seemed harder work than skating used to be. Soon as I got me a 157W Goliath it was just like skating bowls back in the 80s - no worries about edges catching, just focus on the next move. As a beginner to kickers and rails etc it made such a difference to be able to just think where you wanted to go and hit it straight, plus not worry about slightly sketchy landings knowing I could stick it and ride out clean. Knowing this means you soon actually start riding clean too. Had to sell my Goliath unfortunately but now got a 10/11 Evil Twin on order!

After a few years trying out lots of different boards, I was unable to find anything I truly felt comfortable on and started to wonder if I should learn to ski. That changed when I picked up a used 09 Goliath and headed off to Tignes for the week. So forgiving, goes exactly where you want without thinking, very quick edge to edge, great float in powder, no chance of catching an edge on anything... I'm completely sold. I have rediscovered my snowboarding mojo. Thanks Bataleon!

Well the season is starting to draw to a close even here in Scotland which has had a phenomenal snowdrop this year and so it's time to take a break and give some advice... I started riding a number of years ago and have been lucky enough to try and ride loads of boards, some great boards, some expensive boards and some phenomenally good boards even from other companies. That said when I first started riding I wanted a fun flexible freestyle focussed board that I could use everywhere I tried Burton, Rome, Salomon to name a few then eventually after selling all these others stumbled across the green and black evil twin (still own and ride)this changed my focus away from the other "major" brands as the TBT made me actually smile and laugh whilst riding no matter what the conditions. I have ridden that board on ice and glaciers, back country and deep powder and it does everything amazingly, though as it was designed for freestyle, jibbing and buttering that's what it does the best. For this season I've been lucky enough to get hold of an Enemy which is also simply incredible and beats the s##t out of the equivalent super-lights and vapors of the other brands (tried those as well), it is rapidly fast (keep it waxed well!) and simply beats any other piste and all mountain board out there. Finally this brings me onto my recent birthday present an undisputed which I am using as my powder board or where the conditions are anything other than ideal... I simply do not have the words on how good this monster is as long as you have the ability to do it justice and the balls to believe that the edges will hold at that speed on those inclines. I hope that my review is inspiring enough to get a few more of you riders buying and riding bataleon? Remember having fun and pushing your own limits is what snow-boardings about. You don't have to be the best, just the best you can be and these boards will allow you to do this. Get in touch if you want me to give you some info on any of these boards. I must try not to fall in love with any more Bataleons next season!

Borrowed a Bateleon Testboard from the local board shop. Went to Austria last week to see what the fuzz was about concerning Triple Base Technology. Was it as good as Bataleon claims it to be and could it really beat my B&^^%n C(*(&m board? Well,let´s just say I´m a Bataleon fan by now. Smoooth and (very)fast turns,Excellent in the off piste and in the park. Perfect harmony between me and the board...and that was just a testboard! Definitely going to buy a Bataleon next season. Cannot wait until season starts again.
