Ride took a great jib deck and made it even better—Pop Stix (flat ribs of carbon) in the Ride DH Snowboard add liveliness and pop without detracting from the buttery flex. If you're a fan of the twintip DH, you already know about the 85A-durometer urethane sidewalls that protect your deck and absorb shock when you slide on wood, metal, and snow. Detune the DH's edges to your liking—50% more steel in the edges ensures durability and resistance to cracking. A radial sidecut gives you smooth, predictable turning. *These Ride boards arrived with assorted colored bases. We have no control over which color you'll get.
The DH is back for 08/09 with a couple of great updates. The first you will notice is yet again Ride doesn't let down with the great graphics that you come to expect every year on the DH. The artist that did these graphics is Barry Mcgee, google him he has some amazing work.
The main tech update to the DH for 08/09 is the addition of Pop Sticks. Like with the Society, Ride has taken tech that is used in the fishing pole industry to add some amazing pop to the tip and tail of the DH without messing with the perfect 6 out of 10 flex the DH has.
Basically there are these fishing poles that you can bend past 180 degrees and they will not snap. Ride took this tech and milled it down into these 6 inch "sticks" that they place into the nose and tail of the DH. Now you can load up your Nose/Tail and get an incredible snap, but the board is still soft enough to butter and screw around.
The board will accommodate up to a 10.5 boot in all of the sizes, so if you have a size 11 or bigger check out the Dose, the wide version of the DH.
The DH has really good edge hold and does a really good job at vibration reduction due to the silencers and Slimewalls. I found the board to be too damp under my feet, it kind of felt like I was riding a dead animal, which is just nasty any way you look at it. Check out the Society for a deck w/ similar specs but without the roadkill factor.
I rode my friends DH and wasn't blown away. It was ok but I liked my Rome Agent much more. The graphics are flashy so if you like that go for it but for the cash I think you can get a better board like the Agent or the Nitro T2 that I rode last year. Both Rome and Nitro have a better warranty for 2 years. My friend broke his DH, Ride did cover it but it took a long time and the warranty is only for a year. For the cash you can get better.
