I’ve only been able to take my 154 wide wallie out twice now and I have to say…exceeded expectations. I was really worried I made the wrong choice, Love the aesthetic of this board but for functionality I had my eye on the Whatever also, which I plan on buying that board as well for upcoming Rockies trips. But the wallie! I had all sorts of people asking me (and complimenting the board) how it handled and my answer was…a lot better than expected. Maybe the wide gives it just a little more stability, I was hitting choppy ass black diamond pow and it was a dream on this thing. This board is sick, i definitely have a better time hitting rails and boxes at 30 with this thing than I ever did at 18 with my 158 forum recon. What’s crazy to me is my first day out which was a day training beginners, I ended up with a very small chip/peel towards the front but the second day out I was hitting tree runs and def scraped against a rock face but no damage lol. I’m assuming the little chip happened in the lift line, probably even my fault who knows, who cares, it’s a tiny chip, this board wasn’t made for durability but it’s more durable than I ever expected. Either way I look at it, I feel progression with this board, with how much easier it makes park and honestly if you’re a serious snowboarder, you’re up for a challenge always, if someone says the board can’t handle pow or groomers…do just that, make that snow your bitch with whatever you’re on, this board can be more all around than you think, just ride more and don’t worry like I did if you bought this board and are having second thoughts, ride it. You’ll see, it’s fun.

This board is a noodle and super fun to ride. Been hitting all mountain and park with it, I'd clasify myself as expert on mountain riding and like intermediate-ish in park and have been having a great time leveling up my skills with this board. Definitely worth it and the graphics are killer and look awesome in person.

If you skateboard the only board you should ride is a Bataleon. The sidekick gives you forgiveness you need and want on your edges.

Just got my 154 wide! Did a little playing around in the backyard with it and damn it’s more flexible than my ex. Looking forward to hitting the park, I’m convinced this board will handle the rest of the mountain fine for me but will come back here in a few months to update how it performs. This board is sick though, can’t wait to improve my butter and rail game.

This board is on another level. I have been snowboarding for two decades and have ridden everything from capita, burton, dc, slash, rome, rossignal, and the Wallie takes the cake! Bataleon also is one of few companies that truly stands by their product. I have a habit of breaking boards of all kinds and they always make it right! If you thinking about getting this board PULL THAT TRIGGER! You wont be disappointed! Thank you Bataleon tor staying real and making some of the best board on the market.
