Rome Machine Snowboard - Wide
One of the best wide boards by FAR

Ranked #374 - Snowboards

This deck has rediculous flex but holds a firm edge at high speeds. Its really nice to have a wide deck that is park specific, yet can RIP all aspects of the mountain. Super light, crazy pop, and ultra responsive (nolly's with this is like pa-pa-pa-POW, HUGEEEEEE) . I've ridden a lot of wide boards, due to how big my feet are, and i must say that this is the board to get. 2008 model is not as nice as the '09, so i can't wait to see what they come out with next. Rome has performance and the rider in mind with all of their decks, and thats whats its all about. Never squirrely and always stable, even at high speeds. So really, if you're looking for a park specific deck that KILLSSSSSS the park but can go anywhere on the mountain, get this Machine. Trust me you wont be dissapointed, i wasn't :)
