Review Snowboards

Manual Forum Snowboards

Primed and ready to satisfy all your deepest, darkest jibbing desires.
Last season we conveniently enough called this jib board, The Jiblet. For 2008 we switched up the name, added two new lengths, and whipped up some high gloss, two-toned jibtastic madness graphics to keep things fresh. Aside from those few tweaks, The Manual stayed the same and continues to serve as the ultimate true twin jib stick.

Roost Forum Snowboards

The Resurrection Of Old School Technology part deux.
From hard-pack to pow-pow, The ROOST’s throwback tapered shape will help you conquer the entire mountain with ease. It features a stance that is set back slightly, a longer nose than tail, a mellow tip profile to encourage powder flotation, and plenty of side-cut so it carves like a champ. And visually it is off the chart with its turquoise special effect foil stamp, hand dyed “dream catcher” top graphic, and high gloss lacquer finish.
