Description
Jones Frontier
Freeride, all mountain snowboarding.
The Explorer is my favorite snowboard. Completely new development from 2016. It's my favorite because the goal was finally to create a friendly super tolerant board. JONES always makes top boards from top materials for good snowboarders. With this board, they took a big step in the direction of a wider, well-boarding, but "less" professional circle. I am very happy about it, it will be my favorite JONES board. Turnable, directional (your center of gravity is further back towards the back of the board) fast snowboard. Freeride nose combined with a freestyle tail.
The board has rockers before and after the legs, cambered between the two legs. It holds well on different types of snow and ice, but it snaps well for jumps. The price is very good, the sintered Base 7000 sole with One Ball Jay Bio wax is super fast. Hardness 6 is my favorite anyway.
Its cover is unusual: it depicts the Nepalese Shangri-La wall that Jeremy JONES was the first in the world to slide down in the movie HiGHER.
