<br />
Sadly is wasn't me who tested but the owner of the shop Jamie. <br />
<br />
<b>So what's the Bataleon Boss all about?</b> <br />According to the review it's a pumped up pimped up version of the <b>Bataleon Evil Twin </b>which was on of the biggest snowboards around in 2012.<br />
<br />
<b>Who is it for? </b><br />
Basically Jamie says in his snowboard review that if you've had and love your Bataleon board and want a upgrade for more advance riding then this is the 2014 snowboard for you.<br />
<br />
