Rome MiniShred Rocker Snowboard - Youth 2013

Rome's Youth MiniShred Rocker Snowboard is kid-friendly and built for new time shred. There's no better camber for learning on with NoHang-Ups profile. This deck provides the little ones with nearly no edge catches, smooth-through turns and the ability to excel fast and have one heck of a blast! The StraightBiax laminate gives a classic natural flex, and the XTRD durable base will hold strong and is forgiving for the inevitable beatings to come. The Rome MiniShred Rocker is the perfect pick for any young rider's first time on the slopes or if they're just looking to bump up their snowboarding skills to the next level.

Rocker Type

NoHang-Ups Rocker - 3D camber profiling in the nose and tail with a positive camber NoHang-Ups Diamond that ends 20 mm before the end of the running length: These boards blend the playfulness of the 3D rocker with more pop in the nose and tail and more anti-revert control when landing spins.

Flex

Flex Rating: 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - A medium flex to cover a large spectrum of terrain and demands from the rider

Shape

True Twin - Perfect for freestyle ridding

Core

TTT Core Matrix - 100% Wood core from nose-to-tail for a classic snap with a proven continuous flex

Laminates

StraightBiax - Designed for the fun and creative rider, this laminate has a forgiving response through presses, jumps and jibs.

Base

XTRD - The standard of simplicity that is durable, quick, and made to stand up to the everyday beating—a 1.45 abrasion resistance holds strong and is easy to fix.

Binding Compatibility

Rome Snowboards will accommodate 2x4 and 4x4 insert patterns.

Specs

Terrain: All-Mountain, Freestyle

All-Mountain

All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Freestyle

Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.
Ability Level: Beginner-Intermediate

Beginner-Intermediate

Someone who is new to the sport or working on linking smoother turns falls into this ability level. Typical beginner ski/snowboard qualities include: softer materials, narrower widths, and capped constructions. The idea is to create a ride that is easy to turn and very forgiving in case you become off balance or fall in the back seat. The addition of rocker in the tip and tail gives a catch-free feeling and shorter contact length when the ski/snowboard is flat on the snow, making it easier to turn.
Rocker Type: Rocker/Flat/Rocker

Rocker/Flat/Rocker

Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.
Flex Rating: Medium

Medium

The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

Comments about Rome MiniShred Rocker Snowboard - Youth 2013:

I bought this board for my kids who were using some old K2 and Burton boards we picked up at a garage sale for the last 2 years. Them learning on the stiff boards was really challenging and they were not progressing. Turning was very tiring for small (kids 3 and 5y.o) kids trying to maintain their edge so I think that it held them back a lot. We have been stuck on the bunny hill forever. They were catching edges a lot and the falls were really painful for them.

Once we got the Rome board their skills took a fast an giant leap forward. This ROME board is really nice and flexible. My kids took to it right away and began turning all over the hill at will. We started being able to go up the lift and make our way down greens and blues handily. The amount of falling has been much less frequent and the falls have not been so hard.

This ROME board is not as flexible as the Burton chicklet that we also picked up a couple weeks later.

Overall this is a fantastic board and really allows the wee ones to hone their skills. It would be a great board for early learners since they don't catch the edges as they did with their stiff old boards.

This board is stiff enough that they can progress from intermediate to more advanced boarding. I would say the chicklet would be a better board for someone just starting out their first few times though.... it is much softer.

We paired our boards with some Flow bindings and both kids can now get in and out on their own although they fall down getting in and out... they can do it on their own and they love it.
