the hardest thing for me when riding switch is hooking and catching the widest part of the edges. the tbt on the bataleon REALLY helps me. feels like a stable rocker board. plus its a green board so you feel like your actually helping change the tide. i could center my stance and rip up a backcountry jump regular and switch easily. it is a little heavier and slower than my old palmer but that was a high end board. so not bad. its a keeper

Went to triple base last year with the Evil Twin, haven't looked back. Had a shorty 151cm with the evil twin, was looking for something a little stiffer and longer for that pow. Picked this up in a 157, absolutely in love with it. Small setback stance and directional shape make all the difference- nose is big enough to float but board but the board is not too shaped is not impossible to ride switch if you get into tricky situations in the road. Stiff enough to carry speed and carve up the groomers, float above pow, but still has good amount of flex (rated "5" out of 10 by bataleon... in comparison my evil twin is 5 at nose and tail and 3 in the middle and that thing is buttery smooth). TBT is the truth- lightning fast edge to edge, hard to catch edges and smooth as whipped cream in powder. Bataleon yeah for it buy one!

I picked up the 161. I have used it in powder, and groomers so far. The board feels very stable, and manages to still ride like its a 157. It is a bit on the heavy side, but that might contribute to the stability.

let me start off by saying I have only used this board three times so far, and that is all. But my initial thoughts are that the triple base tech is purely amazing. You can dig really deep on your carves an the board always feels stable. Edge to edge response is nuts and the board is poppy and tons of fun to ride. I was used to a bit stiffer board and had to correct a lot more on landings, this board is way more forgiving and I squeezed out of a couple landings that I would not have been able to on my old one. You feel more connected to your. It does what you want it to.

The looks of the board are a lot cooler in person than in photos. The top is a matte green that is a bit brighter than the pictures on the site. And it shows the wood grain through it as well. Really cool looking board. Got several compliments on it from other people while I was in the lift line. The base is understated and really cool. My 161 has the green speckles on black. really cool looking board. My old white with green clip cartels look baller on it.

I have been using my old cartels thus far but plan on grabbing a pair of the prophecy bindings with my x-mas money. I expect a lot more feel in from them. Should be one sick set up.

Overall, I would say get this board. It might take a little getting used to the feel due to the TBT initially, but I loved what it was doing after about two runs. SO far I see no downsides of this board I am very very happy with it.

I had a Lib Tech, but I like the triple base better
