The Rome Mod Snowboard's true twintip shape lets you spend half your time riding switch, and its Air Core matrix gives you a ride that's torsionally mellow and longitudinally snappy. Using Rome's PowerAmp technology, the Mod's core combines bamboo inserts and carbon stringers for insane amounts of pop so you can load and ollie this snowboard onto handrails or over ropes for quick powder runs. Air Core technology reduces this freestyle board's overall weight to give you easier spins and a more reactive ride all over the mountain. The Mod Snowboard's carbon sintered base gives you crazy glide by creating a static charge between your base and the snow. Hardened impact edges withstand all the abuse your jib sessions can deliver.
Bottom Line: Ditch your outdated freestyle ride and go new-school on the Rome Mod Snowboard.
I bought this board in a 156 last season, and I'm getting another one this year-- it's THAT GOOD. Compared weights to my homey's Burton Custom X 156, and they weigh exactly the same-- crazy!! For a twin-tip, it's a firmer flex, but by no means stiff. The butter zones are PERFECT for nose presses and 5-0s but you can still straight line out crazy shit with confidence. Not very good in pow, but hey it's a twintip. SUPER FAST, SUPER LIGHT, SUPER FUN. More versatile than the Agent or Artifact.
i bought this board in the fall for my first semester of college in Vermont. I took it up to jay peak, and was buttering around on it. after the first day of riding i started noticing that the nose was De-laming and was eventually going to break off. (there was NO park open the first day so you can't even blame impact damage!). i ignored the problem until the nose flapped around when i rode it.
Rome's warranty happily replaced my board and my first day out on my new deck, i was bonking in the park and i dented an edge in and caused the entire tail to delam.
this board is the lightest, sickest board, with the best pop that i have ever ridden. it is definitely flexible enough for anyone and still slays on kickers.
this is without a doubt the best board i have ever ridden but rome needs to start focusing on durability. i have seen more romes snap or break than any other board company (and i have personally snapped 4 of them). come on rome, get your shit together
if you're medium rider, that's trying to get his first 360, buy a softer board. The mod is for experienced rider who knows what he's doing. The pop is good, sometimes surprises you in a good way, carving at speeds holds the edge pretty well. But won't have mercy if you mess things up. Buttering takes a little bit more effort. The board is light, but with Rome targas it will loose this advantage.
