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.
Good Company — park riders beyond the beginner stage who want full-camber pop, regular-to-switch symmetry, and one board for jib lines, side features, and jumps.. 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 | Good Company | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 8 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 7🏆 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 5 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 2🏆 | 2🏆 |
Park riders beyond the beginner stage who want full-camber pop, regular-to-switch symmetry, and one board for jib lines, side features, and jumps. PTO's lengths fit riders within the published 80-150 lb bands, subject to a separate boot-width check.
First-day beginners looking for the least catchy learning platform. Powder-first riders get no directional float mechanism from this centered full-camber twin. High-speed freeriders will reach the flutter and broken-snow composure limit. Riders over 150 lb or riders whose boot footprint does not fit the 235-248 mm waists need a different size or board. Technical jib riders who depend on easy torsional release should account for the exact-season report of strong twisting resistance.
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.
Good Company is best for park riders beyond the beginner stage who want full-camber pop, regular-to-switch symmetry, and one board for jib lines, side features, and jumps. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Burton Good Company 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.
Burton Good Company leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 6/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
