Ride Machete Snowboard - Wide
The Ride Machete Wide Snowboard handles business everywhere from park laps to backcountry booter sessions. A floaty Lowrize rocker shape teams up with the poppy Carbon Array 3 layout to deliver a snappy, fun ride that won't punish you while learning new tricks.
- Lowrize rocker profile uses a large, stable flat zone with rockered tip and tail for extra float and catch-free freestyle fun
- Urethane Slimewalls resist damage and absorb vibrations for a smoother ride
- Carbon Array 3 increases pop and energy transmission without making the board feel too stiff
- Pop Rods 1.0 improve ollie/nollie power
- Cleave Edges resist dings and blowouts from jibs and rocks
Bottom Line: Cut through any terrain like a hardened jungle commando.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
Higher-end Jib deck.

I rode the 154W as my primary board this summer riding park on Mt. Hood. It excelled on the rails and jibs, but got a little loose on the bigger jumps and bumpy conditions. More responsive that your average reverse camber, possibly due to the carbon-fiber in the tips, but still felt fairly soft. Its actually a flat camber which I liked on the rails because it had a skateboard like feel.

Put a little camber in the mix! However, it's pretty hard to have a one-board quiver. I don't think I would really change anything about the Machete, because it performed very consistently on the rails and mid-size features which is exactly what I expected. If someone wanted more response or stability on bigger features that the camber would provide, the Machete GT would be the answer.

If you could change one feature of this board to reduce how loose it was on the bigger jumps and bumpy conditions - what would you do? Would you make it a little stiffer?
Change me.
