Ridden Rome Snowboards for 20 years with my whole family. Always loved them. Agent and Artifact are legendary boards. I can’t wait to ride the Stale Crewzer. Illlet you know soon but I’m expecting great things.
Back in last season, I got to try these at Pico's Demo day. In all my life I had thought bindings weren't that important when it came to riding, that a different brand I used prior was the best. Then I tried these masterpieces. Never have I felt so locked into a board, I swear I was riding like I had additional years of experience with these. Not only did it hug my foot so well that it god rid of some pesky heel lift I had, but it made it truly feel like the board was an extension of my body. So freaking hype to get these on my new board this year.
Got a solid discount on last years model! Shipped and received with no issues! Can’t wait to get on the slopes with this beast
You guys still have that shit forward lean adjuster on your binding. Pops open with any lean on it and works a hole in metal heel cup! Your design team too busy drinking lattes and reciting their pronouns to fix this shit after this many seasons?
I got to demo this board late last season in typical East Coast conditions. I usually ride a 55 but rode the 158 at the demo. What a blast! Railed on edge and super slashy on the sides. Super fun! 3D nose should definitely float it in the pow though I didn’t get to try it on that day.. Sick all arounder for sure. Solid edge hold but not too stiff to throw around in tight spaces. YEEEWWWW!!!!
I’m a CO resident and work in a board shop. I get to go to demo days, test out endless boards, and lucky enough to have a good size quiver of boards to select from before driving into the mountains…. I probably tested 15-20 boards last year and this was my favorite by a good margin! I mainly go up as high as I can on the mountain and rip blacks, every side hit is a feature and ever roller is a nose butter on this board. It floated like a dream in 18” even in the lower angle stuff. You can lay down a carve, it’s edge transition is impeccable from the 3d nose., which also helps in powder. I paired it with my katanas and they make overshooting a jump into the flats wayyy more forgiving then most set ups. I don’t take it into the park really as I have more specific boards for that, but I’ve certainly will take it for a lap or two if that’s what the crew wants. I can’t express how happy I am with this board. If you need one board to do everything, send it on the ravine and you’ll have no regrets.
Second ravine for me. Had a 155, then just purchased a 158. It's an amazing playful all mountain board that excels in the pow too.
im 183cm tall and my weight is just around 96 kg - relative athletic build.
I bought this shirt in XL.
I really like the proportions of the shirt.
The shirt is a little thicker than the average shirt, top-notch quality and print.
I've been wanting this shirt for a while, but rome couldnt send to Norway for a while, so i am really glad this got sorted before it disappeared from the store (got the last XL!).
Very pleased with the quality of material to keep your board edges sharp and clean of rust, obviously wipe your board, edges and make sure it's dry before long periods of storage! There's nothing like this out there
Avery would not make THEIR mistake correct!!!! This is what I ordered, See attached Picture, and they sent me the Black Katanas. They will not pay for shipping to correct their error.... In fact you have to pay shipping back to them, then they have to credit you back and finally you have to reorder and pay again..... So messed up "Worst Customer Service Ever." I will not be shopping with Rome again, they dont care about their customer. Dont work with Avery, I believe she controls all emails going in, I could not even speak with her boss.... Ridiculous No Stars from me if there was a negative button I would be pushing it to the max.
Board rides beautiful! Quick shipping, competitive pricing and a real nice looking snowboard!
All pockets are secured by zippers. Love the pocket on the arm for the pass. Fits well and feels warm. Would prefer a dwr finished material.
This bag has one purpose for me. It never leaves my car and I just throw my board in and out without getting snow and water everywhere. Perfect
Some boards are just the perfect amount of pop, responsiveness, and playfulness. This is one of them.
This is a well built, loaded with features, modern board. I bought this board to mainly carve groomers, but I do run all mountain and powder when it's available. I do ride switch, but will be doing much of it on this board as it is a directional board. Good looking, correct flex, carves nice.
My only hang-up was availability. I got it end of season April 2024 The sale price was nice, but I am thinking it is going to be too long for me. I am 5"10" 187lbs. I could only choose from 160 or 153 as the 157 was unavailable. I chose the 160. Wish I could have got the 157 or even the 153.
These bindings fit better than any other. My Malavita's died midseason and when I put these on the board, it was a revelation. My feet don't get tired and I feel so much more planted. Setting them up took about an hour, so plan for that and don't screw them on in the parking lot. I got them for my daily freestyle deck, but snow came in and today I was ripping through steep pow lines with crusty windblown segments, and they were just as good freeriding as for freestyle.
Hands down the best binding I have ever owned. From fit to finish it’s top notch. Love all the functionality and the style is spot on.
After some time on rental equipment and borrowing a friend of mines Jones Stratos it was time for me to buy my own snowboard.
Since I liked the feel on the Stratos I was looking for something directional, tapered and relatively stiff. Online research brought my attention to the Rome Ravine Select amongst other boards and I made a shortlist of the options.
So I went to see which boards I would be able to test at the store but unfortunately the Ravine wasn't one of them. But then, one night, I dreamt of the ravine and it felt amazing. The next morning I made up my mind and ordered the Ravine Select and the matching Katana bindings.
I couldn't be happier with my choice! The board feels just as I expected, or better: Stiff enough to push it and lay a nice trench when carving. Flexy enough to still feel playfull and fun. The 3D shape of the nose makes it really stable, so I cant imagine catching an edge unless I really do something stupid. But the biggest surprise was the pop! Those carbon hot rods really want to send you off.
Summary:
Jones Stratos - but more poppy
K2 Alchemist - but more playfull and not as stiff
Lightweight, mid stiff, responsive, poppy, fast, stable, really great board. plus matching it with the yellow acid katana's it looks amazing too!
Damp but responsive, all the adjustment you'll ever need, feel quality made. Ride very smooth. I've ordered size medium for a 10.5 US size shoe, they turned out to be too small, I'd recommend large binding for size 10.5 and up. Exchange process was easy and fast.
I love the cleavers, they are made with attention to every detail and I have to keep them going, so I bought new ankle and toe straps for my 2020 model.
I love this board I try so many they are so stiff, with the bamboo it changes everything, I try the new 2024 and have to say bring back the bamboo to the board they are so bendind and amazing for pops
