Riding Rome Mod True Twin 154 - gotta be 5 seasons old

Freaking love this board

last season Rome did the mod with a hybrid camber but this season they only have the Mod in camber or rocker - not hybrid

and i gotta say the deck graphics suck dogs balls too ...... :sigh:
and god i hate the carp gnar rad descriptions they come up with - FFS use english to explain your product

was wanting to try a hybrid camber board so it is softer in tip & tail, but camber under feet - don’t want a full rocker board

so suggest brands and board similar to this style, size

. . . Rossignol One Magtek . . .

The Macquarie Group (through its government contracts) make a lot of money from speed camera revenue.

If you object to this kind of extortion, you should BOYCOTT The Macquarie Group and all the companies it owns. The company that owns the Rossignol Group is owned by, you guessed it, The Macquarie Group.

Therefore, if you want to promote safe driving by putting drivers’ focus back on responsibly watching the road instead of constantly monitoring their speedometers, these are the ski companies you should BOYCOTT:

Rossignol

Dynastar

Lange

Show you prioritise genuine road safety over revenue-raising propaganda, and DO NOT support these brands. Every dollar you spend on these brands indirectly goes into funding speed camera extortion, and diverting attention away from the real dangers on our roads.

Same, it just feels wrong. The closest I’ve come is Ride - even though they’re now owned by K2, they started off independently, and they’re still run that way. Real snowboarders should support real snowboard companies.

K2 makes great boards…. I ride a Rossignol and it’s awesome.

btw boycotting those brands to get your speed cameras taken away is the most retarded thing I have ever heard.
