Rome Artifact Snowboard - 2008

When they're throwing down on a sick rail sesh, Jesse Fox, Marius Otterstad, and just about every other member of the Rome factory team straps into the Artifact Snowboard. Why would all these guys slide the same ride? Because the Artifact is designed with one purpose in mind: pure and total freestyle domination. This soft board eats up the most evil kinks and gives you the pop you need for hucking the biggest tables. The Impact base takes season after season of the most wicked rails out there and hardly needs a tune-up. Rome has also added a Bronze edge to the twintip Artifact, which reduces metal-on-metal friction. The Artifact's graphics are ode to the late hours many riders keep in order to make urban assaults with nary a cop around.

Bottom Line: Rome's team riders know a good deck when they see it.

This board is amazing. AMAZING. It flexes more than arnold schwarzenegger himself! You can butter all day and your legs will feel fine with it's soft flex. The only downfall is that it gets torn up fast with it's copper edges and soft flex. Plan on rockin it for a season but after that... Invest in the newest model! ROME

this board is great. i bought the hustlin one last year and the tech is the same. so much fun to dick around on i cant say enough good things about this board. deff a soft soft board and has great feel for jibs. everyone told me it would suck for crusin and off jumps but nah. it just has a nice rome feel that holds edge nicely and has good pop to hit kickers. i could throw a seven with this and not even think about it folding. i wouldnt hit anything huge thou. amazing board and is wicked durable on everything but the topsheet tend to peel it you amack it off trees.. anyboard would thou

it goes along with the whole peep show theme they have this year on the artifact, you can either leave it blank, or scratch the surface off, which reveals an under dressed girl

Jibalicious

By:
March 25, 2009

This thing makes butters and presses so easy, I feel like I'm cheating. And the bronze edges definitely keep those hang ups away. This stick isn't so stable off the big booters, but then again what short jib stick with this much flex is? If you're thinking about snagging a flexy jib deck, then this is the stick for you.

Awesome board

By:
April 8, 2009

I've been on an Artifact for three years now. It's a fantastic board. I originally bought it because I wanted to have a soft board to learn to ride switch on, while my girlfriend was learning how to snowboard. It accomplished that mission and more, and became my main go-to board. Rome bills it as a freestyle board, but it's really a great all around deck. I mostly freeride in the trees, and it's performance is excellent in those conditions. Highly recommended.

definently the 1985, the rocker is sick, it feels awsome, i love it. i ride park a lot which is what both the boards are for so... but i love how it rides too. eash as hell to press and butter feels great. especially for jibbing

The Artifact will be more controlable and better for different types of terrain, the 1985 (which is awesome) its great for rails and jibs and most park features, but cant take the heat in anything else. both board have amazing features, it just comes down to what you want to ride. I riden Artifacts, and own the 1985 artifact and you wont be displeased with either. Hope i could be of help.
