2011 Rome Artifact Snowboard Review http://www.shorelineoftahoe.com GOOD, MEAN FUN New Tech: QuickGrip Sidecut Glass Impact Plates Impact Core Matrix First designed six years ago, the Artifact is the OG of jib-specific snowboards flexed and shaped for rails, ledges, boxes and barrels. And priced for shreds who live in resort-town ghettos and wash dishes. With QuicGrip Sidecut and a new impact-resistant core, we've evolved it for the new season. Still a buttery-ass board, it's LNP's choice if he knows he'll be spinning onto rails. He also likes feel of the Stay Positive Camber for locking into long blunts. Tech Details: Impact Core Matrix: Composite wood technology designed for lightweight strength StraightBiax Laminate: A laminate tuned for butters, presses and catch-free landings Impact Base: Extruded compound that fights against jib abuse QuickGrip Sidecut: Quick initiation between the feet with added edge grip through the turn Glass Impact Plates™: Extra impact protection under your binding What It Likes: Jumps: 8 Jibs: 10 Pow Lines: 6 Carves: 4 Kill It All Factor: 5 Camber: Stay Positive Camber Jib Edge Bevel: -3 |
