Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Im an intermediate all around mtn terrain, with a beginner park dude. I was looking for something that has mobility and response. It handles well through steeps, moguls, and off pist terrains. I have taken it on a few jumps and the landings are like butter. Now time for some Rome Targa bindings to match this board for the really tight and whindy tree hugging terrains, where branch's are wanting to grab you at every turn.

I do have one negative review though. It does scratch, ding and get damaged easy. So, if your OCD about new products staying new, keep it in its original packaging.

I would rate this a 4.5/5 stars. I still chose 5, because dings will happen.

Really fun board but the only bad thing is it is a tad to stiff for my liking

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Really excellent park deck. Pops like no one's business. Only downside was it's a bit sketch mobbing through resort chunder at high speeds. Other than that, this is one of the best park boards around. A must have for the quiver!

Only used once Spring riding, but so far so good. My first rocker, so it took a few runs to get used to it, but once I did it was a blast. Tore through the chop, held an edge well.

They were not joking about the pop....it's def there. Bought the board for kickers (coming off an Artifact). It handles them well although my home mountain maxes out in the 40ft range. The true test will come next year at Loon, NH. If you plan to ride rails, the board needs to be de-tuned big time. I hung up several times, the worst of which was a front board on a tall box. I got tossed right over the falls.

For a rocker board it holds its edges well when carving and performs excellent in powder. The design is just fabulous. I am loving every moment on it.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This board is awesome! It is so much light then many boards that I have held and ridden. It is extremely flexible and is great in the park from spins to board slides. And still it is great for just regular riding as well and makes you wanna try tricks everywhere

It's all around good, really fun on the intermediate level- prob even more fun on the advanced level

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This board is lightweight, versatile, and FUN. Bites the ice and holds you in place on Double Blacks at Killington, floats over fluffy stuff at Snowbird, and takes you through the park with ease. Its artwork trumps the bland designs I've seen on most other boards with similar rocker/camber builds. On the downside, it gets a little wiggy at very high speeds. Overall a great board that I'd recommend if you're looking to upgrade from a basic/beginner stick. Can't speak on how it compares to other non-beginner boards though.

This is a great board. I got it after I broke my first board. It has a lot of pop but surprisingly stable at high speed. I took the board and raced down a groomed trail and it was fantastic. I haven't had a chance to use it in powder yet but I would imagine this will be just as good.

Great Board, with loads of pop for that extra kick off the kicker, tree, cliff, etc. Extremely stiff board meant for slamming into any situation with no regrets. I would avoid rails unless your more flexible and balanced than a dancer since the board wont reshape and hold on to any rails or boxes, but the flat zone between the feet does allow you to enjoy the occasional rail/box jib. Sick ride that can be abused and thrown over 40's, Boulders, trees and roots. Tail presses convert into moonblasts due to the carbon fiber rail tech in the nose and tail. fun in pow and can hold an alright edge in groomers. True Twin is excellent for practicing your switch. Shorter shape allows for easy spinning. Reverse Camber, if your into that, is very light between the feet and extreme right after the bindings, makes for a more catchy than usual rail between the bindings and nonexistent grip on the nose or tail regions. A very fun board and great for the rider looking for a board he/she can ride off a cliff and expect it to land in one piece. Powder friendly; power friendly; avoid if your a lovely buttery park board jib master.

This is a great stick. It is very stable at speeds and really wants to go straight down the fall line. Easy pop, well balanced, and good catch free ride. I also own a Burton Custom Flying V and this board from Rome crushes it.

This board is awesome. Amazing feel with this board, it literally makes snowboarding so much easier. Tricks and freeriding can be done in your sleep now. Great flex and super light, which I think is one of the best features for this board. Definitely an abundant amount of thumbs up, all my friends are jealous because I have the coolest board!

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This board is ridiculously fun. It is very playful and has a ton of pop with the carbon rods in the nose and tail. It hasnt let me down so far and i have nothing bad to say about it.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

A fun all around board. Take some time to get used to, can't feel the edge at the beginning (and this was not my first rocker board). tons of pop for jumps and pipe. The softness between the bindings helps jibbing a lot. it's fast enough for freeriding, however as a freestyle board, do not expect it to be very fast.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

I use the board for all mountain freeriding and freestyle. I love to tear down and carve hills but like to hit up the park as well. The board is solid on icy conditions as well considering it is not a traditional camber. It has a lot of pop, easy to launch jumps without too much effort. Great for nose and tail presses on rails and boxes. If you are like like and like to shred to whole mountain then this is the board for you. It is moderatly stiff so if you expect a noodle don't get it. Bottom line is get the board you won't be dissapointed. I got the 153 and am 5'5" about 160lbs smooth ride every time.

I demoed a few other rocker boards before buying the rome mod rocker 156 online. I was a little nervous about ordering a board I had never rode but the flex and rockered edges on this board are awesome. The first few weeks I was riding mostly groomers and having a blast with all the pop and flex and when we finally got powder it just cruises on top. My first Rome board and I'll probably stick with them for a while now.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This board was a steal. I can use this board on the east coast or mountains. It is quick and easy to maneuver. The board is super lightweight and has plenty of pop to do just about any trick. The flexibility is also wonderful. I would recommend this board to anyone with hopes of advancing from a intermediate to advanced board.

Wow I never write reviews but this board earned it!! This board make the gnu pickle feel like a Walmart Lamar board.... I ride big bear 3days a week icy, slushy, and every time in between... Spinning on the pickle sucks because when they salt the lip there no edge on the pickle so you just go flying off the lip or over rotate on landing cause no edge hold...the Rome I stick any spin everything have no issues hitting any rail at bear and the best part is its buttery but with a perfect feeling of stability but I am still yet to catch an edge....like I said I don't write reviews for anything but other reviews is what made me buy this board so I hope this helps anyone else looking

This powerful well constructed stick will give you the moves like jagger… on the streets or mountain that is.

Great park deck. Lived up to the hype.

I teach snowboarding/guide full time in AK, ride backcountry a lot and do some comps and will be using this board for all of the above. The flex is not too stiff to butter and not too soft for charging through chop - the hotrods make this possible. The profile is perfect, you can actually carve this board pretty well, and the quick rip sidecut holds an edge even on ice (i just raced on it yesterday for our locals league). Best board ive ridden.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

Only been out one day so far and this board performed great! The carbon rods in it give it unbelievable pop in the nose and tail. The board is ready to carve when you are. Love it so far!

I've been riding for 14+ years, first in Colorado no in Tahoe. I've ridden Burton, K2, GNU, Atomic...None however come close to the Rome Mod Rocker. I used to only ride park, and so all my gear was made for that type of riding. I wanted this board to kill the whole mountain. That's what it does, slays everything! The carbon hot rods are no joke! This thing has more pop then I ever imagined a board can have.

Good board and great deal from EVO. I'm happy.

Good board, love rocker style!

board kills it in the park

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

This is my first board with rocker in tip and tail and I am loving it! Cruising groomers, poppin in the park, and all out charging is what this board does best. I bought this in September and have not had the chance to ride pow yet but the board is telling me it will rip into pillow lines as well.

Comments about Rome Mod Rocker Snowboard 2012:

I love this board, it is awesome! Great park board, still early season and I haven't used it on the hills yet. Good for rails and decent sized kickers. Its a lot of fun and a good all around board! Haven't seen anything bad about it yet rides great and is awesome!
