Slash Snowboard - Wide

Whether you’ve got the park locked, or jib the entire mountain, the Rome Wide Slash Snowboard cuts down the opposition and takes flight. Rome’s lightweight Superpop core flexes consistently and pops like a bulbous pimple, so you can jib comfortably all over the mountain. The Slash handles rail abuse thanks to wide edges that enable you to spread your mustard all over town. Rome added impact plates under your feet to improve the Riff’s anti-compression protection and reduce the impact and potential damage from harsh landings. An almost-twin shape combines with the Riff’s medium-flex profile to enable all-mountain marauding when you’re not shredding the park.

Bottom Line: The Rome Slash Snowboard delivers more pop per square inch than the 80s section in your local record store.

Lol i know Cyrus Baumgarten is going to help me out because he

Lol i know Cyrus Baumgarten is going to help me out because he is such i great guy. So Cyrus Heres what im looking at iv narrowd it down to 2 boards This one at a 158 ( cuz thats the bigest they have) and that solomn sick stick 160, the one you helpd me out with earlyer. This is my first board and im not what youd call pro tho id like to think i am, in fact this is only my second year riding but i love it. i doint know wich board i should get, this one is small but wide and probubly easyer to learn on i like the look of this one a lot but i doint know if its too small.(im 185 pounds around 6'1) If it is i could get risers like you said and go with the solomon sick stick. The bindings i was looking at wore the solomon relay thrusters and the boots wore the rome marshails. Please Help me out Cyrus you are the expert?

PS. sorry for the bad spelling i am a SPED.

Haha thank you, and ok...Basically all signs point to the slash, but its really about prefrence

...me, i love park boards like this because i spend most of my days buttering and jumpin off anything i can find (if there are no parks), however i dont spend much time in bowls or bombing double blacks. I like a fun flexible ride such as this one

...i wouldnt like the sick stick because it is more of a big mountian board, BUT that board would fair much better on bigger terrain...so pick your poison bro,

...also you have a medium flexing boot and medium flexing bindings so that combo might not have enough guts to turn the sick stick effectivly

...this will definitly be easier to progress on but its not super soft so it will still hold up to better riding and bigger runs, and if you ask me the 158 is puuuuurfect size for you. So all in all, the slash wins...plus i remember you tellin me you like pow, this wide width and slightly directional shape will work goody goody in pow.

I have sasquatch feet, size 13 boots, and I have plenty of room on the 160. Great for all kinds of terrain, like an ATV. This board works really nice with the Rome 390 bindings. I ride a 168 Canyon and a Burton Baron 172, too. This board was a nice addition to my quiver.
