Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Great board! Love taking it down the mountain. Lots of flex in the tips, stable and stiff in the middle. Easy to initiate turns yet stays nice and stable at speed. Bought this as my first board and I feel my ability won't outgrow it for another 2 years.

This board not only looks like an awesome piece of craftsmanship, but it also knows what it's doing when you get out on the hill, he romesds 2012 garage rocker is overall amazing and can do pretty much anything you would like. I highly recommend this board to anyone who is beginning or.net wants a second board to shred on.

It is perfect, rides great, feels great.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Well basically, within 2 hours of riding I had a huge crack on the front of the board. Very flexible and lightweight though.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

The board has a lot of pop and really good carving ability. When I took board off for a run I had a lot of good jumps and barely fell. This is a good starting board for those who are just learning to hit the park.

FIrst off, I'm a newbie (2 seasons). Mostly ridden on an old camber board, this board and most recently a lib tech.
Board length: 154
Bindings: Flux RK30
Boots: Ride deuce
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 125
I don't have the experience to comment on the tech upgrades from this board from the older model camber board, but it was much more forgiving than the camber board; it felt like I didn't "catch" edges as much when carving. This board is considered a rocker board, but it's more flat than anything else (comparison based on lib tech board).
I also found that it was not as stable at higher speeds when going straight, board felt wobbly, but that may also be because I was riding a 154 and I weigh 125. Compared to the lib tech at higher speeds while taking turns/sliding it was much more responsive and had more grip.
The few "jumps" and boxes I attempted were all on this board and as far as I can tell, the board feels ok.
At my current level, I feel I would not recommend this board to a newbie. After riding a board that was significantly more "rocker" I would recommend getting a rocker board. I feel like more experienced riders would get the most out of this board.

I took this board out 3 days after I got t and I loved it. It was a big step up from my old board (salomon) which was an all mountain board. This is my second board ever and I have been snowboarding for 4 years now. This board has the perfect balance of flexibility and responsiveness. The best uses for this board are definitely jumps, boxes, and rails. I have just gotten into the bigger rails this year and I think this board will be perfect for my set of skills for the next couple of years. The only downside was I did get a few scuffs and dings in my board not because of riding wear and tear, but because the tow ropes here have a lot of kids that tend to run into you getting on the tow rope. Overall this is a perfect board for anyone getting into jibs or someone who's had experience with jibs such as myself.

This is my first season riding and my first personal board. I rode a few of my friends boards and they were all too stiff and didnt give me the stability I needed. The Rome is much more stable as well as easy to maneuver. As park riding goes I've done a few jumps, nothing too big but it felt awesome. Great board though

I purchased this for someone coming from a regular camber board and she mentioned it's easier to turn than a camber board. It's been great so far, looks great and handles great.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This board is simply amazing. I usually do mostly free riding but i do hit the park once in a while. It's a great board for both. With my old board i could barely land 3s and i'm landing 5s like nothing now.

Board is super flimsy, dings easy,

I go snowboarding a few times every winter but I only used the garage rocker just once so far, but I loved it. It is a quality board that is good all around not just in the park. It is also a good bargain and saved me a ton of cash! Definitely worth checking out :)

Great park board. Offers plenty of flexibility for buttering and helps to soften landings.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Use this board for all mountain and some laps in the park

Fun board, great for beginners.

I've been out of snowboarding a few years so I needed some new equipment to get started back up. I got a great deal on this board and I love it!

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This is by far the best snowboard I've ever had! It handles park very well and even exceeded my expectations riding bowls! I would like a little more flex for it being a park board, but I can look past that due to the fact that that is the only con. The graphics on top of the board do peel around the edges though. Nothing to serious, I love this board! After getting this, I'll definitely be a Rome SDS customer for life!

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

not as flexible as i thought but still great board. used it in the park a lil but this board was great for carving

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This is my second board, coming from a cheap Morrow board i didn't know what to expect. i was shocked. comming from a board with zero flex i was amazed how much flex a board could have. oping up or ollies were super easy. if this board is just for down hill riding i might suggest a more stable board, but if your doing shenanigans and park riding i highly recommend this board; especially at evo's cheap prices. FYI: my biggest complaint/issue with this board is that it gets scratches and chips very easily.

Excellent snowboard!

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This was the best board I ever been on its the most flexible a has free pop which makes it great for the park highly recomend it!

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

don't get this board unless you plan on riding rails or kickers. it's not very good for making turns on groomers.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Really flexible. Lots of good pop off jumps. Nice gripping on rails. Handled nice in deep powder too. Love the board, but it just dings too easliy. Both side are peeling off.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This was a good all around board, very flexible with alot of pop. Very light

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

The board allows me to get better air!

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Built cheap my 5 year old forums in better shape then this after only 15 or so rides.

Comments about Rome Garage Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Super fun, flexy, buttery board. Perfect for jibbing and freestyling around the mountain. The garage rocker does come the the 2 deg park edge, which makes it almost impossible to catch an edge. Yay. Because of this though, it's a lil bit sketchy cruising the groomers at higher speeds.

Throw some Rome Targa's (what I ride) or 390's on it and you got yourself a perfect park setup.
