Ok so I've been looking at their boards online - and I'm totally into the Design. It's a twin tip BC board.

"E.4 Impact Core Matrix

For the body of the core, we’ve switched to a lighter, more consistent-flexing wood. Featuring the full core technology package: Impact Plates, AC Technology, Transition Zone Flex Control and FullEdge Flex Control."



"CarbonBiax Alloy

A new hybrid laminate in which we combine two different laminates above and below the core to tune flex and shave ounces.

Top Laminate: two layers of biaxial glass fibers to give a stable, solid feel

Bottom Laminate: two layers of biaxial 100% carbon fibers to increase response longitudinally (ollie pop) and torsionally (edge hold), while saving major weight"



"S.3 Base

A hard, highly porous, structure with a large wax absorbent factor—fast enough to gap your local super pipe."



Has anyone ever ridden a Rome board, and what do you think?

They are sweet, the only problem I've heard of with any of their boards was a sidewall issue on the '06 Agent, and even that was minimal. Get one, you won't regret it.

i had an anthem a few years ago. i think it was the best board i've ever ridden. the design is supposed to be really good but dont expect it to be flexy like most romes cuz its for big mtn
