Berzerker Snowboard

Turns through deep, bottomless powder, high-speed pillow lines, and gigantic cliff drops are all fair game when you're riding Jake Blauvalt's signature Ride Berzerker Snowboard. Named quite appropriately, this deck is a balls-out charger, going berserk through pow-filled gullies and steep, technical terrain, thanks to its 3/4-inch set-back stance and Hybrid All Mountain Shape. Using Ride's LowRize Rocker in the nose, the Berzerker effortlessly planes through deep, untracked snow without submerging, helping you stay balanced without leaning in the back seat. From the front inserts back on back, the board uses micro-camber to deliver stability and response, especially when you're driving turns off your back foot.

Adding instant response when launching off kickers, natural windlips, and cliff hucks, the board's Pop Rods 2.0 core has v-shaped carbon in the tail for added liveliness and drive without making the board overly stiff. Adding even more carbon to the equation, its Carbon Array 3 laminates add precise torsional control with their x-shaped stringers running to opposing contact points. This not only gives you extra control and stiffness when stomping landings and boosting airs, but it also looks pretty damn cool through the board's semi-translucent topsheet.

Rounding out this board's impressive features are Ride's famous Slimewalls. If you've never ridden a board with Slimewalls, prepare yourself to be a life-long convert. These impact-absorbing sidewalls use urethane, much like you'd find in a skateboard wheel, to dissipate harsh landings and rough terrain, effectively smoothing out the board's ride. Additionally, the Berzerker comes with a lightning-fast Fusion 4000 sintered base for high-speed riding, as demanded by Jake Blauvalt himself.
