Colors displayed in alternate views may not be available
Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard 2012: Built to dominate handrails, jib lines, and anything else in the park; the Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard features the JibPop Rocker Camber that is flat in the mid-section and rockered from the feet out for the perfect amount of balance and fun on presses. Plus Glass HotRods technology increases the kick in your ollie and nollie power.
Flex
Suuuppeer buttery and super soft, the Rome Artifact Rocker is perfect for jibbing, jumping and man-handling every inch of the park.
Construction and Core
Impact Core Matrix is a composite core impregnated with 40% wood fibers that flexes smoothly, stands up to abuse and leaves light impact on the environment.
Glass Single Barrel HotRods technology places a rod of fiberglass in the centerline of the nose and tail for higher ollies and nollies. The single barrel increases longitudinal kick without altering the flex profile.
StraightBiax Laminate has a glass configuration that steers the board and is torsionally forgiving to keep a super playful feel.
Shape
JibPop Rocker Camber is loose, playful and super press-happy. Flat and stable in the mid-section with rocker from underfoot to the nose and tail to optimize press tricks.
QuickRip Sidecut technology is a unique sidecut geometry that lets the board ride loose and playful at slow speeds and powerful and precise at higher speeds. QuickRip lets a board “ride short” at slow speeds by engaging the mid-section sidecut between the mid-board contact points and lets you “ride long” at high speeds by engaging the full running-length sidecut where the mid-board contact points work to improve edge hold.
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
Impact Base is an advanced extruded compound that fights against the abuse of rails, boxes and rocks.
Glass Impact Plates™ are 2x more compression resistant under the binding to combat the abuse of landing on hard objects.

      Comments about Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard 2012:

      I actually own the 10-11 version of this board, but they are very similar with only slight changes. I have been riding for about 14 years but more recently got into jibbing. I picked this up as a 'sacrifice' board for rails and to have something smaller and more flexible than my everyday board (Rome Agent Rocker) for riding with my wife and kids (read: switch). This board is SO much better than just a jib stick. Edge grip is very good for such a soft rockered board. I was able to produce some respectable whiteroom inducing turns on steeper corduroy without washing out. That's despite the fact that I was on a 156 and weigh 195 lbs. Poppy, smooth, fun, absurdly easy to press and butter. Check out Angrysnowboarder's review for another opinion. No, this would not be my first choice for running the LBS, but it's a LOT more versatile than I was expecting.

        Great response, awesome pop, super flexible, and even floaty in pow. This board slays.

          Comments about Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard 2012:

          This is probably the nicest board I've ever ridden. It rides very smoothly, and feels very natural. It flexes just enough for presses, but it doesn't slip out. It has plenty of pop, even for a park board. I haven't found anything I dislike about this board yet. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to ride in the park.

            Comments about Rome Artifact Rocker Snowboard 2012:

            I was so excited to get my hands on this board before the 2011/2012 season ended. I didn't want to spend a whole lot, so I waited near the end of season to get it discounted. Evo even did price matching plus an additional 5%, and the turnaround was next day! Anyway, as for usage, I usually spend my time on groomers, but wanted to venture onto more technical riding on parks and features. I'm new to it this year, but I've been riding for almost 8 years now, and I thought this would make the perfect entry point for me. The flex in comparison to my other board is quite substantial. I've been practicing butters and going over boxes and rails, and I can't wait till next year! Thank you Evo!
