Ride Kink Snowboard - Wide
Strap onto the Ride Kink Snowboard—made for your big feet—say a quick prayer, and slide that triple-kinked rail. Ride gave this wide jib deck 85A Slimewalls and burly Cleave Edge steel edges to protect the board, so even if your nollie to frontside doesn't go smoothly you don't have to spend the rest of your day restoring your deck. A soft, predictable radial flex on the twintip Kink makes butters and nose presses easy. *These boards arrived with assorted colored bases. We have no control over which color you'll get.
- Thin Con construction reduces swing weight for improved spinning
- 85A Slimewalls reduce vibrations and absorb impacts
- Foundation Tuned Core is flexy and responsive
- Cleave Edge has 50% more steel for added strength and the ability to detune to a larger radii
- Radial Blendz Sidecut gives you the trusted turning of a radial sidecut without hooking, so you can track into transitions and jibs truer than ever before
- Biaxial Glass delivers reliable pop, strength and forgiveness
Bottom Line: Kinky.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
Rail and Box Killer

Are late night jib sessions your primary focus? Do you hike one particular jib feature at your resort over and over until you get your trick dialed? Then the kink should be on your short list of boards to take care of your jibbing needs.
The Kink has a few features that are going to progress your jibbing sessions:
85A Slimewalls - First of all, they take a beating... so when you're hitting boxes, rails, tree stumps, etc.. you don't have to worry about cracking a sidewall. The slimewalls also flex more naturally with the rest of your board, so you have better feeling under foot. So setting up to spin on your heel or toe edge is much smoother because you have so much more feeling. Last, the naturally absorb vibration, so you'll find that a lot of the chatter you get while riding is absorbed in your sidewalls and you never feel it under foot.
Cleavedge - The metal edges on the board (along with all ride boards in the mobility lineup) are 50% thicker than a normal metal edge. You benefit from this because when you slide down a rail, your edge heats up.. then you pop off and land on cold snow which can occasionally cause your metal edge to crack. Having thicker edges on your board really helps prevent this and you being without a deck.
1500 Extruded base - This base takes a beating and is very easy to repair when you do get a base shot.
This is really one of the best rail boards on the market. If you're looking for the same feeling with Rocker, check out the Ride Crush as that board is just a lighter kink with Rocker. If you're looking for a more all around park deck that can still handle rails just as well make sure to look at the DH & Machete.
Lastly, if you're boot size is smaller than an 11 make sure you check out the refular model of the kink as you don't need the wide.
