Jib-and-butter riders who live on rails, boxes, side hits and small park features and want a soft, forgiving twin that rides switch as easily as regular. Also the progressing park rider who wants the fast sintered base on its most press-friendly shape.
Riders who charge big jumps or ride fast on hard snow - a flex-5 twin folds where the stiffer T1 and Team Pro hold. Powder and backcountry days: a centered twin with no setback and no taper has nothing to float on. Riders with larger boots who need a wide, since the x Love is standard width only in three lengths. And rail specialists who want a dedicated rail edge - that is the T1's Railkiller, not this board's plain steel.
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.
Cheap Thrills x Love is best for jib-and-butter riders who live on rails, boxes, side hits and small park features and want a soft, forgiving twin that rides switch as easily as regular. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.

Nitro Cheap Thrills x Love has the highest Forgiveness score here at 9/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
