PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Freeride, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Men's Flagship — directional, fall-line riders from intermediate through expert who want a single board to float powder, hold a steep line, and still lay a carve.. 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 | Men's Flagship | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 7🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 2 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 5 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 5 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 8🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 9🏆 | 2 |
Directional, fall-line riders from intermediate through expert who want a single board to float powder, hold a steep line, and still lay a carve. Riders pushing past the groomers into off-piste and more technical terrain who put float and stability ahead of switch and park tricks.
Park, jib, and switch-first riders — a true twin owns that job. Raw beginners after a soft, forgiving learner deck. Riders who barely ever touch powder and only want to lay trenches on hardpack — a flatter-taper, more cambered all-mountain board carves firmer and truer there. Experts hunting maximum stiffness and damping for high-speed lines, who belong on the Flagship PRO.
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.
Men's Flagship is best for directional, fall-line riders from intermediate through expert who want a single board to float powder, hold a steep line, and still lay a carve. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Jones Men's Flagship has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 8/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Jones Men's Flagship leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 7/10.
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.
