Pop: Great pop - feels dynamic and snappy. This is a jumping machine - fun, snappy, poppy and a stomper on landings. And now for the 2021 model it somehow got better again. The Jackpot was a good jumper before, but with the upgrades for the 2020 model, it got even better. It's nimble enough to weave well and powerful enough to charge through.Ĭould feel the chatter a bit in crud, but overall very good at negotiating both bumpy terrain and crud. Like with carving, the Jackpot performs really well at speed for a predominantly park board. Maneuverability at slower speeds: just a 1/4 step less nimble than dicey but still super nimble Speed For a predominantly freestyle board a very good carver, IMO. Skidding Turns: Was actually OK for a traditional camber board but not quite as easy as diceyĬarves: Just that little bit more on a carve vs Dicey, in terms of getting it lower and longer and how it held it's edge. Regular Turns: snappy and fun like on dicey but maybe just a hair less snappy than dicey Based on specs and how past models felt in powder, it wouldn't be amazing in anything too deep. Was fine in the small amount of powder that had accumulated while I was riding, but didn't get heaps to test it in. Snappy for sure! A fair way up the snappy scale. Just a hair more damp feeling than the Dicey. Pretty much in the middle of the scale here. I tested the 2021 model alongside the new YES Dicey, which is a very similar board, but a little softer and with the same camber profile as the 2020 YES Jackpot (R2-C4-R2). See the end of this section for the specific changes. The Jackpot changed enough, so I retested the 2021 model. But if there are significant changes to a board then I do try to retest. I tested the 2020 model of this board - so usually I wouldn't retest the very next year. So, bang on average for actual weight and felt about average weight on snow. *based on a small sample size of around 80 boards that I've weighed in 2019, 2020 & 2021 models.
