Ride Kink Snowboard

Item #RDE0633 | 32 in Stock
2 Star Rating

got a good 2 weeks out of it

By Ranked #1753 - Boards April 23, 2009

got this as my second board 2 years ago, cracked the edges all down the board. I mean it made for better presses but became very unstable @ high speeds making anything other than a box or rail sketchy. Slimewall makes for softer landings but puts wayyy more stress on your edges, this is a known fact. Ride tried to counter this by beefing up the actual edges, not so much. My boy got one this past season and the same thing. Rusty Shakelford (top 100 OG) did the same thing with his Dose. I'd say slimewall is a good idea in theory but on the slopes, not so much. I credit ride for thinking outside the box that's why i gave this 2 stars and not one. (i mean i did only get to ride it 5 times) I personally made the switch to signal and I'll probably never go back
