The Baretta allows women to ride the right size board (in length & waist width) without having to compromise. With a slightly wider waist width than standard women’s boards it prevents toe & heel drag without the need to ride a mens board. The new Hybrid All Mountain shape (profile) means that you can take this board from the hard packed groomers to deep pow. With Rides urethane Slimewalls & Carbon Array 3 you know you are getting a board that can handle everything you need it to. Specification: Profile: NEW! All Mountain rocker profile Running length: 115.2cm Waist

Width: 24.4cm Sidecut radius: 7.9m (average) Setback: 0.75in. Length: 148cm Flex: 3 (Specification based on the 148cm option)

Features: LSD (Ladies Specific Design) – All LSD boards feature a unique waist width, ladies specific flex pattern, sidecut & rocker profiles. With Right Size Shaping it is possible to select a slightly shorter board than would normally be used, without the fear of toe drag. NEW! Hybrid All Mountain Shape is a directional profile with rocker in the nose & a level micro-camber zone extending under the feet & through the tail. Slime Walls – Ride’s proprietary design of constructing the sidewalls from Urethane, this makes them extremely strong & durable, highly unlikely to catch a rut or rail, & has an extremely good anti vibration dampening effect. Membrain Topsheet is a mixture of Urethane & fabric, membraine topsheets weigh less than half that of a traditional plastic topsheet. This technique opens up a whole variety of graphical options incorporating texture as well as colours. Carbon Array 3 – Adding carbon stringers to a snowboards construction is an excellent way of controlling & tuning the pop & flex of a snowboard independently, while adding strength & durability by removing stress on the core material. Carbon array on Ride snowboards extend a number of stringers in an X pattern around the inserts Performance Tuned Core is a combination of high strength Aspen, Bamboo & other lightweight woods to provide the perfect balance between strength & weight. Triaxial glass is used on the top with biaxial on the base, this Hybrid Glass construction provides balanced torsion & stiffness for better response with speed. Carbon is used to increase pop & liveliness with the added benefit of strength. Linear Carbon adds more snap & boosts ollie power. Fusion 1500 Base is the industry standard, it’s wax absorbing & easy to repair. The Baretta is a smooth riding, durable board that is ideal for the intermediate all mountain rider. With some premium tech like Carbon Array 3 & Slime Walls it offers a lot of bang for your buck. Is it for me? The Baretta is best suited to intermediate all mountain snowboarders & being a mid-wide board the Baretta is best suited to women that wear UK size 6 & above boots.

The Buckwild has quickly become a favourite with the ride team, as a result the cheeky graphic can be spotted in countless magazine shoots & online video edits. The Twin Rocker profile has a long flat zone with minimal rocker. This provides a large & stable landing platform with the ‘get out of jail’ forgiveness afforded by raised contact points. With the Carbon Array 3 & Pop rods 2.0 the Buckwild is more at home charging into big booters & blasting out of the pipe than it is getting silly on the mini jib features as far as ‘park’ riding goes.  Specification: Profile: Twin Rocker (Rocker, flat, rocker) Running length: 1203mm Waist

Width: 252mm Sidecut radius: 9400/7900/9400mm Setback: Centre Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 4 (Specification based on the 155cm board) Note: Diecut Base Swap
- Base & topsheet colours may vary

Features: A long flat zone extends well past the binding inserts with a small section of micro rocker before the nose & tail. This means the Twin Rocker Shape is hook-free for a forgiving ride but with loads of base & edge contact for grip & power. As a true twin this board is completely symmetrical meaning that it rides just as well regular as it does ‘switch’. Rather than using ABS sidewalls or those made from wood or P-Tex, Ride have developed their proprietary Slimewall sidewalls. These are made from the urethane, which is commonly used in skateboard wheels, & adds maximum dampening to the edge for a smooth ride & durable construction. Pop Rods 2.0 are carbon rods wrapped in urethane, & then strategically placed in the tip and/or tails of a board.  The carbon rod gives huge pop, & the urethane wrap adds some dampening for the landing. The rods are placed on both edges; from the inserts back (or forward at the tip) this gives great pop when preloading one corner of your board i.e. for big rotational aerials. Extra large edges, with 50% more of the Rockwell Ultra Hard Steel found on regular edges means that Cleave Edge provides unmatched strength & tuneability. Ride use stitched rather than woven fibreglass in their snowboards for a more consistent & therefore stronger construction. Hybrid Glass uses triaxial stitch on top with biaxial on the base for balanced torsion & flex. Fusion 4000 is a sintered base material that is made harder, more durable & faster than the competition. With the rockered profile, true-twin shape & not exactly understated graphics you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Buckwild was a going to be a noodle aimed at jib riding & buttery silliness. However the clues are in the tech, which more than justifies its price tag & gives it the qualities of a board built for riding hard. It has fairly stiff torsional flex so is stable at speed & holds an edge right through the turn.   So if your idea of fun is going further, higher & faster than everyone else on the hill then you will certainly be having more fun on the Buckwild. Is it for me? Built around a freestyle shape with performance enhancing tech the Buckwild is for intermediate to advanced park & pipe riders. It would make a great ‘resort board’ for fairly aggressive snowboarders that want a solid but fun ride for the pistes and

The Compact is a soft all-mountain freestyle board. The Low Rize rocker profile results in a very surfy ride, all but eliminating the possibility of hooking an edge in the park or on the piste. With Slimewalls adding some shock absorption & Ride’s recognised build quality the Compact can more than handle rails & boxes should you take it into the park. Specification: Profile: Running length: 1127mm Waist

Width: 238 Sidecut radius: 9450/6950/9450mm Setback: Centred Flex (1 soft, 10 stiff): 2 (Specification based on the 147cm board) Note: Diecut  Base Swap

Features: Low Rise Rocker is a true twin profile that compliments true twin shapes & rides just the same forwards as it does switch. It lifts at the contact points with a long almost flat zone underfoot. This provides an almost ‘catch free’ ride & increases float in powder. It is popular with freestyle riders because of the ease in which the board can be ‘pressed’ as it is in an almost pre-pressed shape. Rather than using ABS sidewalls or those made from wood or P-Tex, Ride have developed their proprietary Slimewall sidewalls. These are made from the urethane, which is commonly used in skateboard wheels, & adds maximum dampening to the edge for a smooth ride & durable construction. Membrain Topsheet is urethane infused fabric which weighs less than half than that of traditional plastic top sheets. The Foundation Tuned Core is tip-to-tail wood. It has proven durability, consistent flex & retains its pop. Ride use stitched rather than woven fibreglass in their snowboards for a more consistent & therefore stronger construction. 90 & 0 degree angles make up Biaxal Glass which provides a fun & forgiving flex. Fusion 1500 Base is wax absorbing, durable & easy to repair. This board could be the perfect compromise if you dont want to choose between lapping the park & riding the whole mountain.  Mount your bindings centre for the former & shuffle your bindings back & slightly closer together to transform this board into an all mountain shredder. A great single quiver board for discerning beginner & intermediate female riders, it’s also a great choice for advanced female jibbers. Is it for me? A fantastic first board but also so much more than that, the Compact is also great for intermediate riders that will find the soft flex easy to turn & manipulate for buttering & the twin shape beneficial for switch riding. Advanced riders will be able to press the Compact every-which way on boxes & rails in the park.

Comfort is key for any snowboarder which is why Ride developed Wedgie footbeds. The slight angle takes the strain off your knees when you are in your snowboarding stance. This design feature is subtle so you probably won’t feel it, until (if you ever do!) switch back to flat bindings. A female specific highback is important for both comfort & control, luckily the new Slimeback SB Highback has it all covered. Specification: Aluminium Foundation Chassis System with Adjustable Heelcup NEW! Slimeback SB Highback Wedgie Footbed EVA Baseplate NEW! Freestyle Ankle Strap Thin Grip Toe Strap NEW! Astro Glyde LT Ratchets Forged Aluminium Response Disc Flex 1-10/ soft-hard: 4

Features: Base/ Heelcups The Foundation Chassis is a versatile mid-flex chassis with fully customisable fit & adjustable heel cup. Aluminium
- Ride use aluminium for a reason; the 100% aircraft grade 6061 aluminium is the perfect balance of minimal weight, quick response & unmatched durability. Wedgie Is a sloped foot bed that slopes down towards the middle of the board & up towards the nose & tail. It helps keep your legs aligned when standing in a snowboarding stance taking the strain off your knees. It also provides a platform to help boost ollie power, using skateboard design as an influence.  EVA Basepad are vibration dampening & shock absorbing for the best control & enhanced comfort. Straps: NEW! Freestyle Ankle Strap is made from multi-density 3D padding & formed neoprene for freestyle charging. Thin Grip™ Is a convertible toe strap, wear it on top of your boot or around the top of your toes & the stretchy web will mould to the shape of your boot for super snug boot grip. Astro Glyde LT Ratchets features a minimalist design that is cored out for an ultra lightweight feel. Highback: NEW! Slimeback SB Highback features a new design with the urethane (used to manufacture skateboard wheels) Slimeback material that has dampening qualities for a smooth ride, consistent flex & fluid support. Discs/hardware: Forged Aluminium Response Disc provides maximum durability. This 2-slot design is compatible with 4-hole & 3-hole patterns. Grip-Tooth washers provide bomber locking power The DVA is great binding for all areas of the mountain. The Slimeback SB is pretty soft side-to-side which makes it comfortable to ride in as it will flex rather than push into your boot. This lateral movement allows the rider to tweak trick & freely change their body position across the board making them especially good for freestyle. With a stiffer flex front to back there is still loads of support when you need to load your heel edge. Is it for me? Well suited to all levels of snowboarders & all disciplines, especially if you are into freestyle or would like to be.

The Machete is a true twin, with a centred stance & symmetrical sidecut & profile. Slightly stiffer than an all out, park only, board, the Machete can shred the whole mountain. Packed with features & tech, this board represents the rider that wants to take the tricks they can stomp in the park, & throw down in the real world.  Landing in powder is much harder, so a board with precision & control is a must, which is where the Machete steps up.
