Riding the Nitro Blacklight Snowboard leaves you with the same mind-numbing impression you felt listening to acid rock in your college dorm room… except that on this Nitro all mountain snowboard, time moves way faster. This directional twin freestyle snowboard features Nitro's Powerlite core that gives you more pop than a parent concerned with underage drinking. Nitro's new Tri-Lite construction uses tuned fiberglass to reinforce the Blacklight's torsion control and reduce overall weight. A progressive sidecut cuts lines like a razor-wielding maniac, and reduced swing weight helps you spin like a hippy kid surrounded by blacklight posters. Nitro's blindingly fast nano-bonded FX Smartbase accelerates your comedown… the mountain, that is.
Bottom Line: Turn on Nitro's Blacklight, get higher, spin harder, and shred nastier.

The board makes for spectacular freeriding, but there seem to be durability issues with this snowboard for this year.
The sidewall is made of this clear material that seems to crack under a combination of cold weather and high stress. After this, the board will start to delaminate in this area. Another issue is that the diecut base may tear off, for seemingly no reason.
Nitro honored their warranty.

The Nitro Team is a freestyle-oriented all-mountain deck that will do just about anything: rails, jumps, jibs, cruising, etc. The Nitro Blacklight is also an all-mountain freestyle deck, but it's not a board that you'd want to spend a day on rails with. It's more aggressive; it wants to go faster, rip deep lines, and air off that cornice.

I haven't been on this deck yet because it's June and there's no snow for thousands of miles from me. But I can still tell you a few things: 1. It is surprisingly light. The 157cm is much lighter than a 155cm Ride DH or a 155cm Arbor Wasteland. A lot of companies claim a have a thinned tip and tail, but Nitro takes it a step further: there's little in the way of material at the very tip and tail and it's very soft at the ends. The board itself seems to be mid-stiff, but I've yet to ride it and break it in. Will review again when winter comes.
Change me.
