Rome built the directional Anthem Snowboard for riders who want a kick-ass high-end board that can stick with them no matter where they tear it up. If you start off the day by throwing down hard in the park but may end up hucking yourself off a backcountry cliff before last chair (or vice versa), then here's your board. The Anthem's Airpop Core Matrix core with glass and carbon laminate kills it in edge-to-edge transitions and decreases the board's weight for easier spins. Bamboo inserts give you crazy pop in the park and pipe without causing too much torsional rigidity. This all-mountain board's super-fast SinterSpeed base give you greased-lightning glide for throwing the sickest tricks over the biggest gaps.
Bottom Line: Ride it all and ride it hard on the Anthem.
Great, great, great board. I generally like park-oriented, all-mountain sticks (rode an ’07 Agent all last year), but after I demoed the Anthem (and Design) at the beginning of this season, I couldn’t help but pick it up… it was SO stable at speed as I was gunning down the trails, and you could carve the living daylights out of it. The board cut through the crud and mush when the temps were a little warm, and when the ice coast lived up to its name, it held an edge like a champ. I always felt stable and centered --- even when I got a little “stupid” on my runs, the Anthem kept me planted, and I rarely caught an edge. Comparatively speaking, the stick seems to have a lot more pop, and feels significantly lighter than last year’s model. This is definitely a worthy choice!
When it comes to snowboards i usually like to consider myself very loyal to manufacturers for good products. For about a good 3 years i have been riding burton customs to custom x's thinking that was as good as it got, until one day while getting my board repaired a shop attendant told me about Rome.
At that time which was about 2-3 years ago i finally decided to give this board a try and ohh man was i not dissapointed. Currently i ride an 06 rome anthem 154 and let me tell you the buttery smooth ride that maintains stability at high speeds is outstanding considering this board is about $300.00 less than the custom x. From huge natural kickers to nasty park ramps this board can really handle the abuse and is worth every single penny.
So if its good smooth soft feel with a hint of rigid durability that you are looking for the i highly recommend the rome anthem. however the only concern you might have is the easy chipping of the sides in certain terrains, but if aesthetics is really a non-issue then go with this board i promise no disappointment.
love the board though I did not feel much difference between this board and my firefly board. this board is very durable, though the top sheet chips easy.
bottom line I would definitely recommend this board to a friend
