Which snowboard for park kickers, butters/groudtricks and some rails?

Question

I did a season last year and I'm looking for a board that is easy to progress further on jumps and is easy to butter but can also hold up to a few rails every now and then. I am looking at 5 different boards - the Rome Agent/MOD/Anthem, Burton Un..inc/Custom X - Which one is best for me? (or other suggestions?).

Thanks

Answer 1

You dont need a custom X. The regular custom could handle the job your looking to take care of. You can get a custom on craigslist right now for like 200 bucks.

But as far as the decks you mentioned, The rome agent is going to be what you want, I rode with a bunch of kids this year that were rockin the agent and its pretty much the burton custom of ROME snowboards.,   Next years Rome agent is SICK! I got a sneak peak at it, BUt the new artifact is betta. THats what ill be rockin next season

I wouldent go for the Custom X or Anthem as they are both All mountain boards rather than freestyle boards and are pretty stiff all mountain boards at that. They wont be much good for buttering or rails especially the Anthem. To be honest i dont know much about the MOD but i would say both the Unic and Agent would be good choices for you, both boards are good all round freestyle boards that are good in the park and over the rest of the mountain as well. Both these boards are great in the pipe as well but because of this they arent overly flexable. If you percifically want a flexaxble easy to butter board thats good for ground tricks then you might be best checking out some of the jib boards like the Rome Artifact, Ride Kink, K2 WWW, Burton Dominant, Apo Selecta etc. Hope this helps, Good luck with the riding.

Answer 4

burton.  they have great flexibility and strength, which pretty much is what u need for what u want here.  and they are light

Answer 5

burton makes awesome boards, but of those i'd  go with the agent.  don' t get the custom x because like the previous answers said, too stiff. The custom is good for just about any thing you ride, but i'd say its not as good as an agent in the park

Answer 6

From your list I suggest the Agent.  You will find the Anthem too stiff for someone new to the park (especially for the butters).  The Agent will be more forgiving as you learn.  Rome makes great stuff.  I'll bet Burton does too since they seem to sell more boards than anyone else.  I've just never been a fan of Burton.

Answer 8

I've heard the Agent is one of Rome's best decks.  I think the un...inc is more of a jib deck while the Custom X is stiffer than a lot of other stuff you'd use in the park.  However, the Custom is used to slay everything.  Out of your list, I'd say the Agent too.

Answer 9

Yo man if you want a park board id say the burton dominant which you can get for 170 right now on trusnow.com, i know thats the best price of the year and the burton dominant is a great park board. The burton dominant can handle well in the park and is the best burton board for jibbing. i know because i got it from trusnow.com. I hear that the rome agent is also very good park board but i think thats more expensive than the burton dominant.
