I love the garage rocker. Its super playful and fun. I'm a park and pow shredder n this board makes it all the better. It feels a little unstable goin mach ten, or carving, or goin through crud, but its not meant to. Its a buttery board with plenty o pop. Rome did a great job. Love it.

picked this up from evo in fremont, i wanted this board since the day i saw the flex tests. it is sooooo flexible, ive ridden it for 4 eight hour days now and i LOVE it, ive ridden it through powder, in the park, on groomers and even on icy snow and it always holds up... the only things i have seen that get to me are the topsheet graphics (which i have mostly covered in stickers) and the fact that at speeds it is VERY easy to washout when carving on groomers and in icy conditions, way more than other boards i have ridden... OVERALL i give it an 9 out of 10.

This board is great for east coast riding! I use another board for riding deep pow, but this handles all of my all mountain / park needs. I love the pop and flex, it just feels natural.

I love this board! Great balance and smooth ride in the park. TONS of pop and awesome flexibility. Only downside I found is it doesn't have the re-camber in the tip and tail to give you any support if ya land on the hood, or in the backseat (if you know what I mean); but thats a pretty small downside.

all i do is shred the park and ride lots of street where i'm from. at first when i bought the board i thought maybe it was gonna be a bad idea. i thought this board is pretty cheap and there's no way this is gonna stand up in the streets. But you know what, i was completely proved wrong. I've had this board out to the park 8 times this season and love it. perfect pop for hittin kickers and its stiff enough you dont wash out. on rails, this board has the perfect shape, the flat base in between the feet is amazing for staying on rails and it has the perfect amount of rocker. Flex wise i give this board a 5 and that perfect. you have to flex to butter you whole way down the mountain and the stiffnes to pop ollies as high as you want. all i can say is YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rome Garage Rocker all in all for the money esp. here on EVO.com is a great board. First impressions are important and unfortunately for the garage rocker they are not good. Ugly graphics smeared on the top sheet. I have the 154 and it has a mexican dude with a blindfold on. this is a dude snowboard and it's called a garage rocker...can we please get some chicks, beer and headless bats on the top sheet? This thing rides well in the park. It's good on smaller kickers (under 30 feet) but anything larger it is a little unstable on the landings. Good pop, and great for jibbing. I love the reverse hybrid camber but i do wish it had a little bit more of an upcurve on each end. This sucker will ding pretty easily sometimes, but it has also suprised me by holding up to some rough sidewall smashes. For the current asking price of [$] plus 20% off how can you go wrong. Buy it, tear it up. also I detuned my edges when i received it. It comes park tuned but still has to much edge. detune those bad boys or you'll probably eat it on a rail. Just sayin.

200lb. dude on a 159cm. Great cheap board to surf pow on. Rocker lets me ride a shorter board and still float; and surfy feel makes carving snowy wave features dreamy and effortless. It's soft and forgiving for my old knees and still has remarkable edge hold on ice.
My only gripe is the newschool megastance options - my next setup will require smaller stance options and this the ability to ride a slightly set-back stance.

This board is a great buy for the price! Doesn't get much better. The reverse camber ("rocker") design seems flawless, definitely a better ride than the traditional camber boards. Board does not catch edges and gives a much more stable, comfortable feel than other boards.
The only downside is that it's not the fastest board ever. A good wax does quite a lot to help, and it hasn't bothered me too much. But I've just noticed it's not as fast as other boards.
