Bataleon The Jam - 2010
Summary:
A freestyle focused board that’ll kill it all over the mountain. Beefed up with Quadraxial glass and carbon stringers, Bataleon’s ‘The Jam’ is suited to those hitting the bigger kickers in the park, or throwing it down on backcountry kickers with choppy landings.
Manufacturer's Description:
You don’t need to worry about this board getting the funnies when you point it down. The Jam is so responsive it’s like having your finger on the trigger with the safety off. Just think it and it will happen. With this kind of Jedi mind/body/board connection you would be excused to think that the Force is strong in this one. Truth is: it’s all about space age Triple Base Tech. Light years ahead of the pack with serious future board dynamics, combining the best of positive camber’s responsiveness with the best of triple base concave shaped nose and tail.

When its listed as Freestyle/park, can i assume twin? same with all mountain is that directional???
Hi Sven,
The Jam’s a directional twin, so either there os slight directionality in the shape or the flex is designed to be stiffer in the tail and softer in the nose. In the logos, you’ll find the directionality of the board.
I bought this board after having read reviews of Bataleon. I’ve owned various Burtons over the years. I’ve also had a Never Summer Legacy, Nitro Natural, Santa Cruz, GNU Carbon Series etc. Of the previous boards the Nitro Natural would have been my favourite. My style of riding is rip it as fast as you can. This year I bought the Jam 164 and paired it with a set of Union Force-SL’s. Took it to Tignes/ValD’Isere for four days. This board can ride anything. It has plenty of pop. Carves like a demon. No matter how fast you attack the mountain you always feel in control. The Union Force-SL bindings also help.
So, very happy with the board (not to be too girly, but the colours look the business). Well done Bataleon. I’m recommending to everyone who is interested to ask.
