You might have heard the terms freestyle and all-mountain being floated around when talking about snowboard gear but might not be sure of the differences exactly. So, let's begin.

Number 1
Flex
In general freestyle snowboards will have a softer flex than all-mountain snowboards.

Number 2
Freestyle
Freestyle snowboards typically have a medium-soft flex a 3 or 4 out of 10 with 1 being the softest and 10 the stiffest. And some freestyle riders who are more jib oriented or street riders may go even softer and go for a 1-2 out of 10.

Number 3
All-mountain
All-mountain snowboards still need to be able to ride the park and ride freestyle but they also need to tackle the groomers and, for some, the backcountry.

For this reason, all-mountain snowboards tend to have a medium flex (5-6 out of 10).

Not too stiff so that you can still do tricks, hit jibs, etc but stiff enough so that you get the edge-hold, speed, and stability at speed advantages of a stiffer flexing board, for when you’re riding steeps and more challenging trails or in the backcountry.

Number 4
Freestyle
Freestyle boards virtually always have a true twin shape. If not a true twin then an asymmetrical twin (which is really close to being a true twin).

Number 5
All-Mountain
All-mountain boards on the other hand are more likely to be directional twins. Though all-mountain snowboards do come in almost every shape available they are most often directional twins with the directional shape being the next most common.

Number 6
Length
Freestyle
When choosing a freestyle board you will typically choose a board that is a few centimeters shorter than your “standard length”. A shorter board allows for greater ease of throwing the board around for tricks.

I hope this has helped you to learn the difference between a freestyle and all-mountain snowboard and helped you to decide which one is more appropriate for you.
