Rome Snowboards Gang Plank 2021 148cm

Product Description

The Rome Gangplank is back in a new shape for 2021. The nose & tails has been given a more square shape. The Gangplank is a well known freesyle stick with a true twin shape, mid flex, sintered base & tons of pop! It packs a punch with a very lightweight core with the pop core using two bands of lightweight wood tip to tail sandwiched between strong poplar wood. Rome then add their super clever Bambo Omega Hot Rods to the core by milling channels into the core & inserting a hollow omega carbon 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 rocker 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 platform & 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.
