Bought last years Paradigma last year, also looked at the Burton Custom and Ride Antic. Sooo pleased I went for the Paradigma, it’s so much fun everywhere on the mountain. Rode the whole of last season in Val d’Isere on it and it’s still like new. Great in powder and park, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone at intermediate level and above.

Review: The Amplid Paradigma is advertised as one of the most versatile boards on the planet. Unfortunately I can’t approve that yet, as I wasn’t able to hit either park or pow with it. But what I can approve is it’s fantastic behaviour on groomers. The Paradigma held an stable edge no matter what surface I layed down a carve on as well as charging down the piste it had no chattering at all! Talking about carves, it is soo (!) much fun to use the whole width of the piste to extend your carves until the very last bit. Doing so, you’ll notice that the Paradigma offers you most, being ridden really actively. If you treat it right, it will endow you with some great liveliness and a poppy carve-feeling. Trying to do some piste tricks, the Paradigma showed me that it is not especially made for this. It has great pop for sure but is just too stiff and un-playful to do what you are used to, using a park noodle. I didn’t hit the kickers with the Paradigma yet, as they were still closed, but I’m sure it’s going to love the run-ins and take-offs! Really looking forward to get some airtime with this deck!

Next to all that, the Paradigma does have an outstanding design, Amplid is a great company worth supporting and if you are looking for an allmountain freestyle ride, you just found one of the best available on the market right now!
