The Flagship also comes factory tuned, so it will be ready to rock as soon as you get it mounted. If you are looking for a fully capable freeride option that will deliver in anything and everything you throw at it, the Flagship is a great value.
With all of the innovative and functional design elements that come with it, I think the Flagship is worth its price. You get what you pay for, and what you get is very solid — as long as freeriding is your sole intention. Here are some recommended alternative options to the Jones Flagship. Lib Tech Dynamo. The Lib Tech Dynamo is a good freeride option at a more affordable price than the Flagship. You still get aggressive performance that can eat up big mountain lines, but this one is a bit of a better value overall.
The board comes with a power construction that is built to rip. It has a lightweight and strong wood core, sintered sidewalls, and an aggressive all-terrain profile shape that adds a little versatility. Ride Burnout. For a more approachable board for intermediate-level riders who still want to tackle freeride lines, check out the Ride Burnout. This one has a twin shape that increases versatility and has a less aggressive nature.
The board comes with a linear sidecut that increases edge control and adds stability. Burton Flight Attendant.
The Flight Attendant review is another capable freeride board that has more all-mountain capabilities. It has a freeride directional shape and a stable, high-performance construction. The Jones Flagship is an awesome freeride snowboard that delivers outstanding performance in technical situations. The board is excellent for freeriding but has limits in other areas of the mountain.
An aggressive nature means beginner and intermediate riders should look elsewhere. Your email address will not be published. Read it and find out for yourself.

Replacing Carbon Flagship? Or just a new name. Angrysnowboarder says: February 12, at am. In uneven snow it was more of a mixed review. In groomed snow, jumps and in the park I actually enjoyed it. Where I would personally improve it is decreasing the length angle, entry point and amount of rocker in the nose.
It felt like I lost a lot of surface area when riding in a natural plane position with the snow I. It also felt that once the nose engaged with the snow, the entry side cut would pull me weirdly. I think spoon 4 would really alleviate this transition.
I did get to ride this in Japan, top of Niseko and in that snow it was amazing. This would help alleviate the transition between nose, contact area, and and tail.
First things first. It doesn't matter what you're doing this board wants to do it at high speeds. I hurt my back hip so sitting back on the tail while riding powder wasn't an option And guess what I didn't need it. I was able to ride powder like a groomed run with ease. Board just floated. The turn initiation was extremely fast and easy.
I never caught an edge. This board is stiff so it takes a bit to get used to how it handles. I had it dialed in after the fourth run. This board will shred everything in site. I used some Rome Targa's so I didn't notice the rough ride later in the day.
IT was gravy all day!!! I came from a burton process flying v. Although it's an awesome board very easy to ride it lacked for what I wanted. I live in CT and mainly ride New England resorts. I encounter a mixture of conditions, from blue ice to deep pow.
Also, I do a fair amount of traveling Mt Hood, Vail every year. Because of this, I searched for a "do it all" board that would handle anything that i threw at it. Enter the Jones Flagship. I picked up a wide model on closeout and rode it for 3 days at Vail in conditions ranging from 2' of powder to hardpack to ice. The board doesn't float as well as a dedicated pow board, but sliding my stance back allowed me to ride without al of my weight on the back foot.
On the last day of our trip, the pow was gone, so we rode groomers all day and I found that the Flagship can really lay over a nice carve. It's won't let you get all euro-laid out carvey, but it holds an edge on some pretty hard snow. There is no board out there that will be the best in all conditions.
However, the Flagship gets the job done in all conditions. One note, this board is pretty stiff and will not be easy to ride if you are a "lazy" rider. For instance, lets say you are on a rough trail that has inconsistent snow, if you put the Flagship on edge it will slice through the crud and keep you moving quickly.
However, if you try and skid your turns you fill get a really rough ride. I would not recommend this board to anyone who can't carve a clean turn. However, in the hands of someone who has their technique down, it's a killer option for any conditions. Overall Rating Loved it! Weight Feels Normal. On Snow Feel Stable. Hard Snow. See all prices ».
