"It rides pretty much anything you throw at it. We took it through the park onto some rails, through some turns, rode it switch, and it kind of does everything you'd want it to do."

The Ride Vantum is brand new to Ride's lineup. It takes the quick, skate-style turn initiation of the Pig family and stretches it into a longer, more traditional directional platform. A Tapered Quadratic Sidecut, Zonal Carbon Rails that drive energy from the inserts out to the contact points, and a Urethane Channel that quiets nose chatter give it a board that loves to carve but doesn't punish you for goofing around. It's a true middle-ground stick that rides pretty much anything you point it at.
