Rider Style Freestyle riders of all ability levels who are looking for the balance & control of a park board, but who still want to get out & about on the mountain. Shape Overview Built around an advanced blunt tip & tail true twin shape the Gang Plank’s park heritage is hard to miss. By reducing the weight at the tips, Rome dial in a level of control & feel that will satisfy even the most technical park rider. But don’t be fooled into thinking that this board is just for park rats. Now thanks to its innovative design & Quick Rip Sidecut, it’s equally happy riding the rest of the mountain. Quick Rip steps up edge control & response by integrating a tight sidecut between the feet with a longer sidecut at the tip & tail. These two different radii are joined together with a step. At slower speeds only the tighter part of the sidecut between the feet engages, delivering a manoeuvrable ride, while at higher speeds, both the tip & tail radii engage, with those steps adding additional traction points on the sidecut increasing both stability & edge hold. Profile To deliver that perfect balance between performance, versatility & easy-going ride, Rome fit the Gang Plank with their freestyle friendly Contact Rocker profile. This places a flat camber in the mid-section of the board with rocker in front of each binding through to the nose & tail kick. This creates a playful hook free confidence inspiring ride while delivering smooth turns & effortless float in powder. Internals Heading up the Gang Planks high-quality build is the Pop core. This lightweight combination of poplar with two paulownia stringers delivers the perfect freestyle flex & helps underpin the Gang Plank’s park credentials. To this, Rome then adds its unique Hot Rod technology. This innovative technology places glass fibre tubes running from the insert packs out to the tip & tail. Inside these tubes are free floating bamboo rods anchored under the bindings. These add pop & power to the tip & tail of the board without compromising the torsional flex. Key to the Gang Plank’s freestyle feel are the playful structural layers. These are formed from Rome’s exclusive Straightbiax laminate to create a softer; more freestyle inspired torsional flex ideal for the increased feel & control that you need for technical freestyle riding. Base To deliver exceptional performance with increased durability, the Gang Plank uses the high-speed Sintertrue base. This has excellent wax retention, ensuring that you get better performance for longer.
