Rome Snowboard Gang Plank 2020 158cm

Product Description

The 2020 Rome Gangplank is one hell of a freestyle board. Used & abused by most of the Rome team for being a trusty freesyle stick which wont let you down. True twin, mid flex & tons of pop! It packs a punch with a very lightweight core with the pop matrix core using two bands of lightweight wood tip to tail sandwiched between strong poplar wood. Rome then add their super clever Hot Rods to the core by milling channels into the core & inserting a hollow sleeve to which a bamboo rod is insterted. This is anchored at the inner most point of the board & allowed to move freely to generate plenty of pop & response making the gangplank very lively & able to pop huge ollies.  A really nice clever feature of the Gangplank is the camber profile & sidecut combination. The Gangplank uses Romes contact rocket which is a stable flat camber profile between the feet with reverse camber on the outside of the feet. This has been a tried & tested freestyle profile for a while with a very stable landing platformand catch free feel thanks to the reverse in the tip & tail. The downside usually is a lack of grip but Rome add their quickrip sidecut to stop this.  Quickrip is two off set sidecuts integrated into one creating two additional contact points on each edge under foot. This enables you to get the grip back that you lose with a flat / reverse camber profile. The result is really good too! Plenty of grip with a catch free feel, win win! Throw in a very fast sintered base & a shed load more pop & you know the Gangplank has your back whatever you put in front of it.
