Jones Ultra Mind Expander

My usual areas to ride are steep moguls/trees, because that is generally where people have difficulty going and the snow stays a little longer for those that venture in. The mind expander is unlike any board I have ridden previously, and frankly took a day to understand its potential before I really started to have fun on it. It is the most responsive board I have ever ridden, where slight adjustments in weighting mid turn produce incredible results. Whether it is poorly covered moguls, or thigh deep powder, this board has quickly become my favourite to date.

I definitely had a similar feeling on the Mind Expander and that is a whole lot longer. If you want to stick to Jones the Ultra Mind Expander should have everything that the Storm Chaser doesn't have - stiff flex, good float, pop and stability from camber in the back.

Riding in powder with my freestyle board is extremely challenging so I thought of going with a board suited for pow that can still perform on groomers as well. The two ones I liked most so far have been the Jones Mind expander twin and the Bataleon Magic carpet. My style:. I’m really into riding powder but also buttering so both of those boards seem to fit my style quite well.

With powder performance. The twin shape and slightly over middle of the road stiffness allows for a a versitle ride all around the mountain the core profile and extra inserts allow it to float well in powder and the mid bite helps it hold an edge in less than ideal snow. Jones mind expander 2023 model. A more powder oriented board with some all mountain capability.

I just picked up a used Jones Ultra Mind Expander. Got to ride it once before the closure of my local mountains. I didn’t dabble into too much park besides a couple jumps, but for most everything else I feel like it can handle pretty well. Wet heavy crud, carving on groomers, powder (probably not as good as the regular mind expander in pow), it can handle it all.

The carving capabilities of this more pow Freeride oriented board is unreal. Could be because I have a pair of Now Recon bindings with Skate Tech and Skate Tech just makes a boards carving capabilities that much better, but I am honestly starting to feel that way. Carvers, if you want to juice up your boards edge strength buy some Now bindings and check out the Burton Double Dog, or Jones Flagship,Aviator, Ultra Mind Expander, or most all Korua boards.
