ROME Agent Rocker review Board Insiders 2011 snowboard reviews

[NDirishboy26]

Im really looking into buying the Graft Rocker 2011-now the Reverb Rocker- and I was wondering if it would be a good board for me. I had the Skate Banana from last year and I liked it. I wanted a board that will do great on jibs and keep speed and pop for jumps. I think this would be a pretty good board for what I want. But can I have a take on what you guys think?

[nemac23]

What does 'tendency to revert' mean?

[idowhatiwant1235]

@nemac23 the board wont hold when you land and you'll spin just a little bit more on the landing

[mickeyprocon]

@nemac23 means when you land a spin it's hard to find your edge right away and end up rotating after you've landed. aka "washing-out"

[BoardInsiders]

@nemac23 I'm pretty sure Corey already answered this, but check out the video response.

[nemac23]

@BoardInsiders Yea I saw the reply. Thanks

umm about 60% park, 20% pow and 20% piste. umm im 5'10'' 75kg and have size 10 (U.S) thirtytwo boots. i've been lookin' for a good all mountain/freestyle board all i've really found is this and the ride DH and maybe the salomon drift(just cos it looks lush!)

[BoardInsiders]

@Henadizzlleee I got Tyler here and were coming up with a list. So if you're thinking Regular (positive) Camber: Signal Park Capita Totally Fk'n Awesome (this will be the stiffest on this list) Double (moustache) Camber: NS Revolver or Proto CT Rome Agent Rocker (The non park guys didn't like it) Reverse Camber: Arbor Blacklist (mid-wide of the Westmark) Rossi Trick Stick And if price is an issue look at the: GNU Carbon Credit Arbor Formula

jeremy said about boards which do as much and better, which boards would those be dudes?

[BoardInsiders]

@Henadizzlleee That's a big question with a whole lot of answers.

If you're interested I can help you narrow down the choices. What terrain you like to ride, (for example 50% groomers, 50% park)? Where and what conditions do you ride in? Weight, height, boot brand and size?

[Henadizzlleee]

@BoardInsiders yeah around 50%- park 20%-piste 20%-pow. am 5'10'' 75kg thirtytwo boots a U.S. 10.  i've been lookin at the ride DH, This board and maybe the salomon drift (just cos it looks awsome!)

[Henadizzlleee]

@BoardInsiders umm, about 60% park 20%piste 20%pow

i've been looking at this board, the ride DH and maybe the salomon drift (just cos it looks awsome!) but am lookin for a good all mountain/ freestyle board which is a lil' bit forgiving.

[iSHRED13]

where qould you put this on the flex scale 1-10. 1 super soft 10 super stiff.. and then how aboit regular agent

[cKunke2]

@iSHRED13

Regular Agent: 7.5

[t0rq21]

@cKunke2 and this one?

coz im askin myself if it will be stable on jumps

[cKunke2]

@t0rq21

Don't have any personal experience with it, but I've heard its about the same except it has a rocker shape as apposed to the positive camber shape. I've also heard its a very good all mountain board including jumps and shouldn't be a problem.

[jeepers2021]

that old greg dude has womens goggles haha

[t0rq21]

guys how you would compare this one to the rome dh2.4 or 2.5?

i ride gnu's street series now like everythere from park to pow and i love it, except i would wish lil more pop and lil more stiffnes for better off center landing stability.

which board would you recommend?

[l84j]

Agent Rocker vs Coda...which one is stiffer?

[BoardInsiders]

@l84j Even though I have ridden each of them multiple days, I wouldn't hazard a guess. But it just so happens we are in a place (SIA on-snow demo) where I can grab them both and do a side by side comparison for you.

If it works (same sizes, same time) you should see the video up on Thursday.

[BoardInsiders]

@BoardInsiders Sorry the side by side comparison never happened. That's what -15 deg weather does to the best of intentions.

[t0rq21]

nice concept do get opinions from different rides of level and style!

much better than just describing the features!

BRAVO!

[t0rq21]

dudes, plt keep on with reviews!

great stuff!

[mulder987]

Probably my next board after my Burton Raven! 

[BClocals]

I've noticed tyler likes all these boards.

[CLUshark]

Like what Corey had to say about the pop 1:06 and the landings, 3:55.
