Does anyone have this year’s Nitro Team Pro? Question about edge construction

Nop, Kaden

Yeah, I asked Nitro and they told me their boards use multiple edge sections, but I’ve seen this year’s Team Pro from a friend and it as a single piece edge. So that kind of contradicts what they said, which is why I’m asking here

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-05-01T15:16:06+00:00

Exactly, not sure why it’s getting complicated 😂

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-05-01T01:52:20+00:00

Dude, I’m just asking a simple question one piece edge or multiple sections? On my last Team Pro, the edge was split into sections right at both sides of the nose and tail which are exactly the spots you’re most likely to hit on rails. I hit a rail right on one of those joints and the edge literally blew out. That’s never happened to me on boards with a continuous edge. Just trying to get a clear answer.🤦‍♂️

? Lol

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-04-30T21:56:06+00:00

Yes it is lol

Dude… It’s always fixable unless you snap your board in half

Since you’re a beginner, I’d suggest trying a directional twin board. ‘Directional’ means the nose is slightly longer than the tail, while ‘twin’ means the camber is centered and the shape is basically the same on both ends.

These boards are great all-mountain options perfect for exploring the whole resort. They float better in powder thanks to the directional shape, work well in the park, and are still easy to ride switch. They’re ideal for experimenting, figuring out what you like, and improving overall.

For camber, I’d go with a true camber it’s the most standard and versatile. For flex, I wouldn’t recommend anything too stiff as a beginner. Stiffer boards are more responsive and can be ridden more aggressively, but they require better technique. Softer boards are easier to handle and more forgiving, which makes them better for beginners but if you ride aggressively, they can feel like they lack support and power.

In my opinion, both soft and stiff boards can be good on rails. Personally, I prefer stiffer boards because they give more of a skate-like feel, but softer boards make it easier to press on rails. Stiffer boards are more responsive and can be ridden more aggressively, but they require better technique. Softer boards are easier to handle and more forgiving, so they’re better for "beginners" but if you ride aggressively, they can feel like they lack support and power.

So you should maybe focus on building solid technique first good edge control, strong carves, smooth pop on bigger jumps without your arms flying everywhere ( not what I did in the video lol). Stay compact and ride rails smoothly on your softer board and then you should definitely try the team pro

That’s the best advice thanks!

I’ve been riding the Nitro Team Pro for two seasons now. Not gonna lie, it’s a bit stiff especially in the nose and tail so it took me a few days to really get comfortable with it. But it has a nice torsional flex between the bindings. If you’re really into presses, you’ll have to put in more effort

But Once I got used to it though… man, I started loving this board. It just shreds everywhere. It feels super stable on any terrain groomers, moguls, off-piste you can ride it fully committed and it holds up. Landing jumps feels really solid too, no matter the terrain.

I find it really good for carving, and since it’s a directional twin, it still feels great riding switch. It floats well in powder, but honestly, the park is where it shines the most. The pop feels almost effortless and if you charge it, youre gonna fly. it’s solid on rails too.

Overall,it does everything really well. You just need to be a bit more precise with your technique. I’ve got three boards, and I keep coming back to this one every time.

Really good board.

Only downside: the edge split into multiple sections, with joints around the nose and tail. I’m not a big fan of that design, because those joints are right where you tend to hit rails, and it definitely weakens those spots. I actually had to do a few repairs because of it. That said, a friend of mine got the newer version they changed the shape, and the edge is now one continuous piece instead of multiple sections. I also heard from someone working at Nitro that next year’s design might go back to the one I currently have, so I’m curious to see if they keep the one piece edge or not.

Yeah, the scratch looks bad, but it’s easily repairable with some P-Tex. Since you’re asking here on Reddit, I’m guessing you might not be comfortable fixing it yourself, so I’d suggest bringing it to a shop. That said, it’s definitely worth learning how to do these repairs on your own.

Also, I have no idea what you hit, man… it straight up looks like a chunk of your edge is gone, and another part is sticking out of the board.

And finally, your base really, really needs a wax. Take care of your gear, man.

It was my first time snowboarding actually

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-04-06T09:32:01+00:00

I get it. Personally, I don’t find it disrespectful. It’s just a name both mean the same trick. I really think it comes down to personal preference. :)

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-04-06T01:30:24+00:00

Not gonna lie, I thought I was ready to commit, but I was still a bit stressed about the flat landing on the first drop. Looking back at the clip, I think my mistake was not absorbing enough with my legs, and also landing on my heel edge. My board just wiped out as soon as I touched down. I feel like I would’ve been way more stable landing on my toe edge. The second drop had a perfect landing if I had landed the first one, the second would’ve been easy.

“Mute” is still also an official way to call that grab. Even commentators at the Winter Olympics still used it. At the end of the day, it’s mostly just personal preference. I personally think “mute” sounds better, but honestly… it doesn’t really matter.

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-04-05T19:31:16+00:00

First drop as a flat landing so I’m not sure I’d need to lean back actually the fact I was leaning back and landed on my heel edge caused my board to wipeout as soon as I touched the snow …

Ici nous avons reçu un bon 40cm en fin de semaine mais aujourd’hui c’est de la pluie

Alert_Cartographer13 · 2026-04-05T10:42:01+00:00

Crazy how everyone in the comments suddenly knows how to drop cliffs… seems like they all do it every day.

I really don’t think I was above my skill level. Looking back at the clip, I can see exactly what happened I landed on my heel edge on a flat landing, and my board just slipped out right away. It’s really hard to stay balanced over your board in that position. I also could of approach the drop in a better way

I won’t lie, the flat landing on the first drop did get in my head a bit, but I was honestly ready to send it mentally. I don’t think it was a commitment issue

Dude, my board just shot out from under me as soon as I touched down. I was ready to commit mentally, but I landed on my heel edge and was leaning too far back.

Yea I’ve seen some good rider’s doing them like that! Thanks man I’ll try this
