That's what it's designed for. I want one, too. It's basically a noodle. However this year it has the brass edges, which are more likely to break... but I dunno. I suppose a broken edge would be better than a blown out one.

u sure it has brass edges? i dunno if it does, but even if it does i thought brass was supposed to be softer, and less likely to break?

they do have brass edges this year. this maens there less likely to snag on rails, but might wear down quicker

yeh guys thanks for the inputs, it isnt an overly exspensive board either, so i might buy it mid season once i save up some cash.

ROMES are probably the best board ever to ride however i would go with the agent or the solution and a major plus is that they are not a sell out brand and the all about propaganda too so all you punk rockers out there this is where its at there super good for park and there just all around fucking awsome

Rome makes great boards, the Artifact is more of a jib board. If your planning on hitting jumps, then i wouldnt recamend it as an all around park board. Just jibs and flat ground stuff. Its really flexible, and probably the best Jib board you can get for the price (also check out the Capita Stairmaster or Ride Kink)

what model of Option?
The Artifact looks super flexy... not for me haha... but if you like to jib and can get it for cheap, why not.
