Nitro Rook Snowboard - 2012
The Nitro Rook Snowboard has already won more awards than you probably will throughout your entire life. Pick one up and experience the park-dominating awesomeness that comes courtesy of the Rook's zero-camber profile, extra-beefy Railkiller edges, and ollie-enhancing Pop Bands.
- New Whiplash profiling thins out the core between the inserts and beefs it up under your feet for max ollie power and locked-in presses
- Zero-Camber flat profile for more float and fewer edge hangups without compromising pop or stability
- Ballistic impact panels place super-strong Kevlar under your feet for extra durability in high-impact zones
- Railkiller edges are thicker than normal to resist damage from rails, boxes, and rocks
- Powercore II wood core blends together multiple types of wood for extra pop and less weight
- New Pop Band uses strategic fiberglass for extra pop without extra torsional stiffness
- Park Flex is soft enough to press, but snappy enough to ollie over a slow sign
- Biaxial fiberglass for a forgiving flex and easy turn initiation
- Sintered Speed Formula base for speed and durability—just make sure to wax once in a while
Bottom Line: Makin' moves in the park.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

The Nitro Rook has been my favorite everyday snowboard for the last 3 years. This is the best Freestyle snowboard you will find on the market. It has zero camber - which means it has a flat camber profile so the board feels comfortable from your first day on hill. The Nitro Rook is great for pressing on rails, jumps, pipe and even big lines in the backcountry because of its Mid-wide shape.
Hands down a great snowboard!

If you want a board to do it all while remaining fun and playful, get the Rook! Its super lightweight and fun to ride. The whiplash core makes it extremely poppy but still easy to press. The graphics are badass and the railkiller edge is indestructible
