I consider the Ride DH and the Nitro T2 to be of similar designs. Both are freestyle boards, both have a twin shape, good in the park, yet offering a wider scope than a pure jib board...
Earlier this year in Laax, I was riding the '05/'06 T2 with MLB bindings, and Martin was riding the '05/'06 DH with Burton Missions. Both 155cm. We decided to switch setups and then compare notes. After one, long run, this is what we thought:
- The T2 is lighter than the DH
- The T2 has a much lower nose and tail, although this may have changed with newer models
- The sidecut on the T2 is more aggressive than the DH. The DH therefore has a wider waist
- The T2 is a little more stable at speeds
- The DH has a smoother feel, a nicer flex
- The DH has more pop, or at least, it's easier to pop with the DH. In just one run I noticed some much nicer ollies...
- Both have good sintered bases
Both really nice boards, I'm not sure which one I prefer more.

you could probably weigh the boards to find out what one was lighter
