Similar Boards (but not the same): Yes Greats

Set-Up: 21.5” Wide. +15/-15. Close to Reference.

How It Was Tested

I rode this a lot. Mainly just for fun on my days off from reviewing but often compared it to the YES Greats with the same bindings and boots.

Approximate Weight

The Ride Twinpig feels on the light side of normal for this width. (We don’t put in the exact weight because with wood cores there is no consistency in a boards weight)

Sizing

The Ride Twinpig was best for me in a 151. The 154 was just too wide and I felt too far away from the edges to really control it. Especially in uneven snow.

Here are some ideal US boot sizes for the Ride Twinpigs. You can of course go bigger or smaller but these work best for this board. You want to ride this shorter and wider than you normally would by a good bit. For example I ride the 151 but would normally ride a mountain freestyle twin with a normal width in a 155-157 size range.
148: 8-9
151: 9-10
154: 10-11
157- 11-12
156w- 11.5-12.5+

Shape/Camber/On Snow Feel/Ability Level

The Asym twin shape of the Ride Twinpig is as good as it gets for riding centered and feeling the same turning on heel side or toe side. It does require you to ride perfectly duck and centered to feel what we are describing. You can ride it directional and set back but it doesn’t ride as well.

Then you have this very stable, forgiving camber profile. The Ride Twinpig is pretty mellow but you do feel it compared to flat to rocker. Very easy to skid turns, one foot and flat base.

Edge Hold

There is pretty competent edge hold. I felt it wasn’t there with the disrupted sidecut of the YES

Flex Personality

The Ride Twinpig’s flex is a little stiffer this year than last and doesn’t feel quite as lively or poppy. It does feel more damp and more reliable than 2021. The 2023 model has very similar construction as the 2022 so I won’t be riding it.

Speed

There is a decent base with the Ride Twinpig but it’s not an ultra glider when all waxed up. You don’t want to get this if you like to point it but it’s fast enough for moderate mountain speed.

Turning Experience/Carving

The Ride Twinpig is all about a fun turn. I love this sidecut and how much fun it is to turn once it is engaged. It is slow initiating though but I’m more than ok with that. I had some pretty satisfying carves regular and switch too. It is no dedicated carver but I had soo much fun with it. It likes across the groomer and circle carves more than down the line higher speed carves but can do them well enough without it feeling hooky. 

Powder

For an asym twin the Ride Twinpig is really good in powder. Even in the 4-6” of wet thick pow I felt like it wasn’t even trying. If you want a powder twin size up one or two sizes from what you should ride you will have an exceptional pow board. For example I prefer a 151 but if I got a 157 I would have an excellent powder twin.

Switch/Pipe/Jumps

You get the Ride Twinpig to ride either direction and often. If you don’t ride switch then there are other boards that will better suit your needs. I love boards like this and the YES Greatst because they make switch riding soo easy. This is also a great park ride.

Conclusion

The Ride Twinpig is a board I personally love. In a time of soo many directional rides it is soo refreshing to go out on an Asym Twin like this and play around on the mountain.
