PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain Freestyle, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Fun.Kink — beginner-to-intermediate riders who want one forgiving board for the whole mountain and want progression to come easily.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Fun.Kink | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 5🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 6 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 9🏆 | 8 |
| Stability | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 3🏆 | 2 |
Beginner-to-intermediate riders who want one forgiving board for the whole mountain and want progression to come easily. Playful, freestyle-leaning riders who lap groomers, side hits and park, ride switch, and prefer a twin with a gentle forward lean over a locked directional shape.
The Fun.Kink is the wrong board for an advanced, aggressive rider who wants a stiff, damp, high-speed charger: at a soft flex with Bi-Ax glass and no carbon stringers, it is built for control and progression, not speed. Deep-powder specialists should look elsewhere — it is a symmetric twin with a centered stance and medium tip lift, and no technique turns that into a float machine on a deep day. Riders chasing maximum pop and hard-charging park performance want the stiffer, carbon-reinforced Evil Twin instead. And hard-snow carve purists who want a locked, aggressive traditional-camber edge will find that 3BT trades some of that bite for its forgiveness.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Fun.Kink is best for beginner-to-intermediate riders who want one forgiving board for the whole mountain and want progression to come easily. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Bataleon Fun.Kink has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 4/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Bataleon Fun.Kink leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 5/10.
Bataleon Fun.Kink has the highest Forgiveness score here at 9/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
