What is the difference between the Nitro Alternator and a traditional freeride snowboard?
The Alternator combines freeride stability, float, and edge control with more freestyle-focused pop, maneuverability, and landing support. It is designed for riders who want to hit jumps and natural features rather than only carve and ride directional lines.
Is the Nitro Alternator good for freestyle riding?
Yes. The Alternator is designed specifically for all-mountain and backcountry freestyle. Its Powerlite Core, Carbon Tape, traditional camber, functional tail, and supportive flex create strong pop, stable takeoffs, and dependable landings on jumps and natural features.
Is the Nitro Alternator good for carving?
Yes. Trüe Camber provides powerful edge hold and stability, while the Dual Degressive Sidecut creates responsive control underfoot with smooth turn initiation and release. The progressive width also reduces toe and heel drag during deep carves.
Can the Nitro Alternator be ridden switch?
Yes. Although the Alternator is directional and performs best in its intended direction, its functional tail allows riders to take off, land, and ride switch when needed. It is not as symmetrical switch as a true twin park snowboard.
