 When Jones first launched the mountain twin, little did they realise the impact it would have. By integrating their free ride philosophy and technology into a more usable everyday style of board, they inadvertently created what could easily be described as the ultimate ride anything and ride everything at snowboard. So what is it that makes the mountain twin so good? Well the starting point must be the shape. Starting riders a traditional twin gives the board that balance of predictable ride that you only really get with more free style specific boards. But it's what Jones do to the nose and tail shape that really transforms away the mountain twin rides. By integrating their advanced blunt nose shape which extends the transition zones from the end of the effective edge into the nose and tail curves into both the tip and tail they unlock a level of performance in the power that is literally unheard of in this type of board. Now add to this the versatile camrock profile which blends rocker at the tip and tail with a poppy camber between the bindings and the mellow magnetraction side cut and not only do you get a board that has the balance of a free style board and the float of a free ride board but you also get one that clavs like it's on rails. So if you put this in simple terms you get a snowboard that does everything really well. Now obviously though there's more to the performance than just the shape, it's got to be made right and in this respect the mountain twin doesn't disappoint. Coming up the high-performance credentials is the top-spec wood core. This multi-density popular wood core is reinforced with bamboo stringers running tip to tail through the length to give a poppy and lively ride. This is then enhanced with a powerful trius clastructural layers which step up torsional response and showing that no matter how hard you push the mountain twin it's always going to be able to deliver whilst never ever feeling overly aggressive. Finally as you would expect from Jones they utilized a high-grade 7700 sintered base to give a super fast glide in all snow conditions.
