Getting back into snowboarding at 43 after a 25 year break, I picked up the Jones Freecarver 6000s (154) with Apollo bindings and what a day it turned into at Mt. Sunapee in New Hampshire.

I live and ride 100% on the East Coast, so I was dealing with icy spring conditions, but this board handled it. It carved beautifully, felt responsive, and stayed stable even on the hard ice pack. I’m athletic and the board handled everything I threw at it. As the day progressed I felt more and more comfortable with the hard turns and deep carving.

I had an absolute blast and couldn’t be happier getting back into it. Im so happy I went with the Jones board. The only problem I ran into is trying to decide which additional Jones board I can order for those powder days next winter! Thanks Jones!

Rode it today. Absolutely amazing. I never thought that i could ride sooo fast and still be in control. Confidence and stability at speed. Had alot of people complement me about how the board looked and asked a lot of questions. I told them that it made me so much better. It would start my carve and it would ride like it was on rails. I was carving trenches. The Best board that i have ridden after coming back after 30 yrs. A leap in technology.

This was my first carving board, and it got me into carving addiction. I have tried quite a few boards after that, but NONE has given me the pleasure and fun that 6000s is offering me.

I am 77 kg, 1,74m tall, boot size EU41,5, and I ride the 154 board with +36 front and +12 rear

I am now thinking to buy one more 6000s this time the 162 size in order to get a bit more effective edge and a slightly bigger sidecut radius but I am not sure if my weight is enough for 162 board

Just one day and I'm feeling at home already and got compliments from two snowboarding instructors. I can't imagine when I unlock all its potential. If you're committed to carving you won't regret.

Just inspired to be better on my last runs! I"m trying to recover from a unknown breathing illness and needed to pick myself up, so "Jones Freecarver" was my last dance to learn. Nearly fifty years on board and want to leave a few more tracks. Thank you all for your commitment to our sport! Wayne

Awesome board, makes easy to carve on all condition

I’ve been looking for this board my whole life… I bought this and the 9000s and realized I have to keep both. This thing is mayhem on the mountain. So nimble so quick so sharp. It carves like a dream. I know the description says short tight turns but it holds sizable carves at speed. Total control. Playful to the point where I’m tricking off of every side hit and bump. The pop on it is exactly what I need. Slashing every bank like I’m riding a wave then ripping into a blistering carve. The 6000s is like a crotch rocket/street bike and the 9000s is a rocket ship. High speed carves from trail width to trail width practically laying on the ground. I use the 9000s for first chair corduroy huge fast turns and then switch out to the 6000s as the day goes on or when I need to slow it up with some friends and let them catch up while I slash and jump down the mountain. That 9000s is so fast i had to get different goggles due to the wind making my eyes water and blur. I only hit the breaks on this thing during trail intersections and slow signs or if the board starts airing out of the mountain too much. They nailed these. Will be my main resort board unless I’m going steep and deep or married to the park.

The Jones Freecarver 6000s is an absolute carving monster that still feels surprisingly capable across the whole mountain. Its tight 6-meter sidecut, long effective edge, and directional camber make it a trench-digging machine that loves laying down deep euro-carves and lightning-fast edge-to-edge transitions on groomers. Unlike many dedicated carving boards, it’s versatile enough for all-mountain cruising, side hits, and steeper terrain, making it a fantastic quiver board for riders who prioritize carving but don’t want to be limited to one type of run. If your idea of fun is railing turns and leaving pencil-line tracks in the snow, the Freecarver 6000s delivers a huge grin factor every single run.

BEST BOARD I HAVE EVER USED. TESTED YESTERDAY ON THE SOLDA GLACIER ORTLES-CEVEDALE AND I MUST SAY THAT IT'S REALLY FUN ON THE HARD AND COMPACT MORNING SNOW. THE EDGE KEEPS YOU PLACED LIKE ON A RAIL UNTIL THE END OF THE TURN AND PROJECTS YOU TO THE NEXT ONE IN A RHYTHMICAL AND FAST WAY. SHORT AND MEDIUM RADIUS TURNS, FAST AND STABLE. WITH THE MERCURY BINDINGS IT'S A PERFECT COMBINATION.

Took me about 2 years to finally pull the trigger and the board is trully amazing. I have seen a lot of review videos and I can say they're correct. This board is fun, do yourself a favor and just buy it. You won't regret it, I sure didn't, even though my wife is still mad at me for bying "another board"...

I have 10 days on this in mixed conditions, from rock hard piste to 300mm of soft snow, this board carves and is fun to ride .. the more you put into the carve the deeper it digs, riding off piste it surprised me with loads of float not too tough on the rear leg - chasing a Hovercraft it was a lot more responsive than I expected and I stayed on it the whole trip even though I had quiver with me. I love this board because it really does everything well and excels on piste without being overly stiff.

Absolutely the funnest board I rode this season! Never thought a posi/posi narrow stance would be so damn fun! I have to recalibrate my fun meter because of this board.

In Eastern Canada, we deal with long stretches without fresh snow. The Jones Freecarver 6000s is the perfect solution for those hardpack days. The edge hold is incredible and it’s remarkably easy to put on edge.
The 154 Narrow is the perfect for my weight/boot size and the hardpack snow of east-coast.

I wanted a board for a great core workout, and to work on graceful tuning technique. This 150 gives that and more. Really turns on a dime. Lots of fun, and more than once the board got me out of trouble. Makes anyone a better rider.

I’ve had my eye on this board for a while. As an aspiring carver, I’ve put significant effort into precision turns with some good results on low angle terrain. Most boards will do pretty well in those conditions if you move them right. But the steeps, that’s where I wanted to go, and with high pressure turns, fully locked in. I noticed the difference immediately on riding this board. It’s sweet! The longer effective edge gives a much more secure pencil line curve. It’s taken a bit of work to get it right but the Freecarver 6000 has helped the most. Love this board! It’s not a totally dedicated carver which allows me to drop on a steep or spin off a side hit. Even poke around a bit in the park. But its sweet spot is a good tight carve at a relatively low board angle. Clean stable turns, love this board!

Pro tip (costly education): Size it like an all-mountain board. The tight edge radius means a tight turn at low board angle, ergo, choose the narrowest board you can so transitions are fast. For its stiffness, a long wide board will buck you around, and boot out isn’t much of a problem at low angles anyway.
