					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked groomers. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Whatever with Union milan bindings and Vans Ferra boots size 8. Size: 159cm First Impression: Wow there&#8217;s no flat basing on this board, you are either carving or carving. Weight: average. Flex: The Whatever is on the more playful side of the spectrum but it offers a stiffer longitudinally flex so it feels more stable than you&#8217;d expect and it allows for more response when it comes to carving and fun playful pop for freestyle. Torsionally it&#8217;s softer which gives it quick edge to edge response for turns. The Whatever has freestyle TBT which has a symmetrical nose and tail TBT, medium wide center base is flat and it&#8217;s good for all around riding. Turning: I was not expecting the Whatever to be so quick and responsive when it came to turning. It was really quick to engage into turns and you pretty much were always in a carve on this board. It was a bit more aggressive in the carving, quick engagement and held each turn smoothly once in them but it was shocking how quickly you were on edge. Stable: The Whatever could [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Winter Park, CO Snow Conditions: Hardpacked to softpacked to icy groomers. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Goliath with Flux RK30 bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 153cm. First Impression: Ride everything and ride it good, that&#8217;s the goliath. It was one of my top 3 boards of the demos. Weight: Average Flex: The goliath was on the mid range for flex, not the softest bataleon but not stiff like the enemy.  It was the perfect flex for all mountain, still pressable on the nose and tail but tad stiffer between the bindings and underneath the bindings. Turning: In my notes I spoke of how amazing the S turns were on this board and I remember exactly how the lines were looking back uphill, just clean and smooth narrow lines.  It was one of the best boards on carving and especially on my heelside turns which always aren&#8217;t so clean but the goliath was so good on edge.  Easy to intiate into each turn and once on edge, it was just locked into the carve holding you into the perfect line.  It required more effort for me getting from edge to edge but only because of the width, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When you think of TBT, only one company comes to mind for standing out from the crowd and doing a shape that works.  Bataleon Snowboards patented TBT in 1998 and the concept has fully developed into a brand defined by the movement in a range of boards with variations for different riders.  And if you don&#8217;t believe them, they just tell you to try one because all it takes is one TBT board to get you to see the TBT way of riding. TBT is flat between the bindings with angled side bases that are lifted with gradually increasing angles.  The uplift starts from flat in the binding area to a maximum increase at the widest point in the board. TBT comes in many options: jib, twin, freestyle, all mountain and freeride. New for 11-12, Bataleon changed their nose and tail shapes with updated nose and tail ramps to a longer smoother uplift curve, the TBT has been taken further out all the way through the tip and tail bends to the ends of the board, all boards now have an extra kick or increased TBT after the effective edge giving a looser feeling board with more pow floating qualities [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Whistler, BC Snow Conditions: Hardpacked and icy to new bumpy snow on the slopes. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Riot with my Union bastardized bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8. Size: 155cm. First Impression: The Riot is always a favorite board to ride at the demo days&#8230;consistently great. Weight: average Flex: The riot is the middle of the road for flex, it&#8217;s not stiff except in the nose and tail of the board and it&#8217;s softer between the bindings that helps give it that all mountain capability.  It required a bit more effort for presses/buttering but it definitely suits the stiffer side of park riding for pipe or jumps or just freeriding. Turning: TBT is a totally different thing when it comes to turning, it puts you on edge quickly and really lets you rally through carves down the mountain.  It&#8217;s amazing for carving on and especially for me I don&#8217;t always carve every turn but the riot made every turn feel so much smoother and see the line in the snow after some turns.  It&#8217;s easy to get on edge from the TBT and holds short and longer radius turns without problems. Stable: The riot had no [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While the other snowboard companies are thinking of all the different ways to bend boards from tip to tail, Bataleon snowboards patented the idea of bending your base from rail to rail since 1997.  Their Triple Base Technology is offered on all their snowboards in a variety of flavors for twin for park and rails, freestyle for all-around riding and freeride for setback freeriding and enhanced to float in the powder. Their Triple Base Technology (TBT) creates a dynamic base split into 3 parts. It allows for normal camber over the entire length of the board which gives stability at high speeds, support, distributes the riders weight and pressure evenly among the edge.  At the same time, the triple base lifts the steel edges progressively towards the nose and tail taking the aggressiveness away from the widest parts of the board but gives you all the edgegrip you may want at a slight tilt of the board. In my opinion, Bataleon is like the jager of snowboarding.  It&#8217;s in it&#8217;s own category but after one shot&#8230;you are hooked. Bataleon Fun.Kink Features: A fun board to jib around on with a good flex to boardslide kinks and features poplar poplar wood [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This review was done through Board Insiders and will be featured on their site as a review with video of me explaining the board and riding it. I&#8217;ll update this link to that when it goes live. Location: Stevens Pass, Washington Snow Conditions: Snowing with powder on runs, some groomed areas. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Evil Twin with Union Forces and my Rome Vamps size 8. First Impression: Fun board to play around with, inside the park. Size: 151cm Weight: lighter than average Flex: At first I thought it was stiffer overall but then I found the stiffness was in the nose and tail with some softer forgiveness in the center between the bindings, making it torsionally quick to turn and responsive.  Even with the stiffer nose and tail, it&#8217;s still capable of butters and presses.  I was riding a smaller size and I felt with that size that it was best to ride in the park.  I did notice is going around bumps was the best on the evil twin, going directly over bumps was a little too much for the board and it didn&#8217;t handle as well. Turning: The TBT on Bataleon&#8217;s makes it really easy to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Whistler, BC Snow Conditions: Bluebird to overcast on hardpacked snow and ice in spots. Most of the morning was icy spots. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Riot with Union Forces and my Rome Vamps size 8. First Impression: TBT is like a carvers dream Size: 155cm Weight: average Flex: Stiffer nose and tail with just a tad softer between the bindings on the Riot, making it less easier to press and butter but overall more stable for all mountain riding. In the second picture below I showed how much I could tail press the Riot on flat ground and that was putting a lot of effort into, to getting that much off the ground. For a true twin park-all mountain board, it&#8217;s on the stiff side definitely a jump more suited to pipe, jumps and freeriding in between than jibbing or easy butters on the mountain. Turning: I can&#8217;t deny how well this board excelled at turning and TBT really excels overall. The board has a mind of it&#8217;s own when it comes to turn and you can rally a carve on the mountain each turn without trying. I occasionally take photos of lines that a board will make [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Location: Keystone, Colorado Snow Conditions: Bluebird with hardpacked groomers. Setup: I rode the Bataleon Enemy with Union Forces and my Rome Vamps size 8. First Impression: TBT is not anything close to reverse camber, two different technologies. Size: 157cm Weight: lighter than average Flex: The overall flex for the enemy is stiff throughout the board, stiffer longitudinally and torsionally. It&#8217;s not as easy to manuever into shorter turns because of the stiffer flex but it makes it a really good aggressive board on the mountain with how it handles. Not as playful as some other TBT boards I&#8217;ve ridden. Because of the concave nose and tail, it&#8217;s still able to butter with the stiffer flex and you won&#8217;t catch the edge doing it. Turning: Because of the lifted edges with the TBT, it&#8217;s really easy to be on edge before you even try. TBT boards because of how they are made have always been boards that go on edge, whether you like it or not. Once on edge, they really hold that edge in the turn and I&#8217;ve noticed that it&#8217;s harder to skid out a turn or wash out on a TBT board. The enemy was stiffer flex which [&#8230;]]]></description>
