PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
Sleepwalker — intermediate to advanced riders who spend most of their laps in the park on rails, boxes and small to mid jumps, and want a pressable true twin that rides the same in both directions, with a sintered base.. 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.

Intermediate to advanced riders who spend most of their laps in the park on rails, boxes and small to mid jumps, and want a pressable true twin that rides the same in both directions, with a sintered base.
Riders who mostly carve groomers fast, powder-first riders, and anyone sizing up to big jumps: the short sidecut, mid-soft flex and centered twin shape give up hold, float and landing support, and the Huck Knife or a directional all-mountain board handles those jobs better. Brand-new riders who want a softer, easier park board should start on the Kickback instead. And riders whose boots call for a wide board: our Sleepwalker stock is the regular 148 to 155 cm, without the 155W or 158W.
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.
Sleepwalker is best for intermediate to advanced riders who spend most of their laps in the park on rails, boxes and small to mid jumps, and want a pressable true twin that rides the same in both directions, with a sintered base. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Salomon Sleepwalker 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.
Salomon Sleepwalker leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 5/10.
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.
