Rome Agent '09
Terrain Use: Half Pipe, Jumps, Boxes and Rails, Speed, Carving, Groomers, All Mountain
Pros: Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold, Soft
Other Thoughts: Awesome board! I switched over from the Burton Custom to experiment with new boards and I'm so glad I did!
This board is so light it's ridiculous! In combination with the Rome 390 bindings it felt like I was only wearing my boots while on the lift. The board is super poppy and much lighter than I expected (considerably lighter than my Burton Custom). The impact plates are awesome! On my Custom, my knees use to start feeling it after hitting about a dozen kickers but with this board I can go on all day with no problems at all! Buttering is also ridiculously easy on this board!
Bombing down groomers is a piece of cake as well. The base is super fast! Comparable to the Sintered Vision WFO Base on my Custom which is rumored to be one of the fastest snowboarding base in production. Although I have to admit that my Custom was a little more stable at higher speeds, this board can still handle it very well (this is probably due to the Custom being a slightly stiffer and heavier board). I have yet to test it on powder as I bought the board at the end of the season.
On top of everything, the graphics are sick! If you're an all mountain freestyle rider, I would definitely check this board out! Demo this board when you get the chance, you won't regret it!
