Jones Aviator 20 vs Jones Mind Expander Twin
Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
How they compare
the Jones Aviator 20 leans more all mountain, while the Jones Mind Expander Twin leans more powder. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Jones Aviator 20 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.

Used market
What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Jones Aviator 20
Jones’s camber-leaning all-mountain board. Used supply is moderate; confirm you are not buying a Mountain Twin or Stratos, and inspect the base and edges rather than paying for a newer season sticker.
Jones Mind Expander Twin
The twin version of the Mind Expander — not the same used buy as the swallowtail. Supply is smaller; check both tips and the base. Do not price it like a directional Mind Expander or a Mountain Twin.
