Pipe: Such a fun board to ride pipe with and I couldn’t stop lapping the pipe in my free time with the Basic. Jibbing: It’s a little too bucky for my taste compared to even the Typo and even more so the Basic. This just springs into the air on an ollie and if you like hitting kickers this can handle most sizes you want to hit without getting weird on those, like me, that love to go small to medium. Jumps: There is soo much more pop out of the Yes Basic Decade compared to any board in the Yes Line and there isn’t even any more camber. Switch: Super easy either way and it’s almost as good as the Greats. So be careful.īuttering: A little more work than the Typo or Basic but I liked the way it felt equal in the tip/tail like the Basic. These Slam Back inserts won’t work with mini discs though and only work with the exact stance width with Burton Re:Flex bindings. If the reference stance width works with your stance then you can get 2.25″ back on board with a 22″ inch stance width on a 155 or 22.5″ with a 158. Set all the way back the difference between the nose and tail to the insert is 4.5″ making the setback on board from center of the waist 2.25″ which is a lot. Not amazing and a good bump below dedicated powder boards but better than most twins with a centered stance. Powder: With the slam back inserts the Yes Basic Decade floats like a true all-mountain board should. However late in the season, I discovered how it really fell apart in harder uneven snow. It will buck a bit if you want to hammer over big bumps but it felt like it was absorbing those micro bumps pretty well that you see in the harder groomed runs. Uneven Terrain: In softer snow could dance around moguls all day with the Yes Basic Decade 155 and it worked really well in the bumps. There is a little going on in the nose/tail but nothing like I thought it would be. Speed: I thought all the super light tech would make this a chattery mess but the Yes Basic Decade did a great job absorbing chatter with the boots/bindings I was riding it with. It really shines with the throwing it back and forth with quick but not super drawn out S-turns.Ĭarving: Even though the Yes Basic Decade doesn’t have a different camber profile from the Typo or that much different Camber profile from the Basic it out carved both and was more fun to lay it over. It’s just lively underfoot and making all kinds of variations of short radius to even medium to wide radius turns are fun. Turning Experience: Great turner and this high-end tech make the Yes Basic Decade way more fun than the Yes Basic or Typo and I loved the feeling of a turn on this ride. It feels like someone gave the Yes Typo speed but it’s not in a tragic personal life choice or a super annoying way to be around. It always provides a stable feel underfoot and it’s more than just a hard snow favorite. If you are mainly going to see hard snow maybe a full magnetraction board like Lib-Tech would be the better call but I love the stability underfoot in the hard snow with the Yes Basic Decade that allows a consistent feel underfoot in all conditions. Love that underbite tech when in the hard stuff and I like that it doesn’t grab too much in the soft snow. Super easy to one foot, flat base and not have the Yes Basic Decade auto-spin on you.Įdge Hold: That same great 4.5 out of 5 feels for grip. On Snow Feel: Very stable but not catchy. Overall the 155 and 158 seem to top out at a size 10 boot and anything after that I’d probably go with the wide. I would like the 155 a little better for riding the pipe or just having something a little more spinny. After time on both, I prefer the 158 over the 155 as it’s still very fast edge to edge and feels like it fits my overall specs very well. Sizing: I feel torn between the 155 and 158 for my specs.
