This is a pre-release of a sanitized rant. 

If you have any edits to suggest let me know.  This goes live in 24 hours.

The main complaint is the audio. It's currently playing only on the left ear. Does your video editor allow you to change audio to mono to make it play on both ears instead?

I think you skipped the part about twin flex vs directional flex. I thought that was one of the more interesting parts of the other rant.

But I'll admit I stopped listening when you took a leak. You really should cut or re-record that part.

Yes!  I know how to do that.  Good catch, that keeps happening.

I wrote about that in a post, I think you brought it up elsewhere.  I cut so much from the first rant, tried to be more organized and not repeat myself so much, and still ran over an hour...  Board design rant another day maybe.  I want to tell the truth as I see it but I don't want to burn bridges or end friendships.

Probably a good call, you're not the first one to say that.  I thought it was pretty funny.

I'd cut the part about Donek delamination issues and just say that they could not resolve technical issues and stayed with the fiberglass build.

 

Although the peeing was funny, taking it out is a good idea.

Well, Donek themselves mention this on their website:

Unfortunately, titanal construction metal boards are more prone to delamination or bending than traditional construction.

Paraphrasing what you said in the first rant, I think you said "A Knapton Twin makes a lot of sense if you're Ryan Knapton or you ride like him: switch about half the time, flat ground tricks, jumps, etc. For most of us the sacrifices in twin shape or twin flex are not worth it even if you ride switch 10-20% of the time".

I don't think a comment like this would burn bridges any more than what you already have in there about the KT: "I see guys on KTs all the time and their mind is blown when they ride a Coiler or JJA".

You talked a lot about Angry Snowboarder in the first rant too, but I think you missed a crucial part about him: he says he can ride and trashes other youtubers for being shit riders, but has anyone actually seen him ride? I've never seen a clip of him on a snowboard in any of his videos.
