![]() Actually I tried mounted the bindings way back and rode the board more like a ordinary freeride board. I rode it in half a meter of pow and was amazed by how good it floated. It makes the board playful in all conditions and performs extremly well in pow. Rocker, reversed camber – what´s the deal? The SKate Banana 156 rides more like a 58 – but when it comes to the Park Rocker it´s more like the other way around. Though I think that you might need to step up a siza because of the rocker. It´s even super soft, but it still feels very stable. And it´s needed to say that due to the less contact (due to the rocker) makes the board a bit instable at high speeds but also a bit slower on transport runs.Įxtreme rocker & super softness – no problems! The amazing thing is that it handles everything I tried it on, except too high speed. This good grip I have only had with the Riders Choice mtx and Skate Banana btx. The edges are extremly good, and the board has so far never failed me when holding an edge. It took only a few seconds to adjust to the rocker. The park Rocker felt like no other board I´ve ridden. Setup: Flux Super Titan bindings & 32 Leashed bootsĬonditions: Only natural conditions: snow, groomers and over half meter of pow. But what about the Park Rocker? It´s got some hard comments about the softness and the extreme rocker. No mather what the sale persons at your local store might tell you (I was told that this was a jibb board only, more or less impossible to take outside of the park). The skate Banana is of course an excellent all mountain board. But after trying the Skate Banana, Burton Hero and the Park rocker we must say that differences are big, but maybe not as we expected them. When only reading reviews as well as forum discussions about the different boards it was really hard to tell which one would be the “best”. You might remember our earlier posts about choosing rocker board. While we probably won’t be able to buy such a snowboard for a while, it’s definitely an interesting concept for you to try to DIY at home.So here it is – one of this seasons most talked about boards: the Park Rocker from Signal Snowboards. However, the addition of a clear base overtop could address that particular problem. GrindTV noted that some of the LED lights behaved like velcro when they came in contact with the snow, causing the board to stick rather than glide. Of course, Signal admits, “This is first generation trial and error with basic materials,” but even so, the end result was pretty memorable. ![]() In the video, you can see that the effect is particularly impressive during evening rides, when Roles quite literally lights up the mountain as he makes his way up and down slopes. ![]() To take the snowboard on its maiden voyage, Signal Snowboards enlisted the help of rider Kyle Roles at Mammoth Mountain. But by the time the team had finished, it successfully created a snowboard whose base can change on command to reflect a logo, a catchphrase, or just about anything else. Signal Snowboards founder Dave Lee was inspired by the bright lights and enormous screens of Times Square in New York City, and took it upon himself to create a snowboard that would rival one of the biggest LED shows in the world.Īround 1,700 LED lights were used for the base of the snowboard, which meant a whole lot of tricky and detail-oriented work. But this latest DIY board may be the most interesting yet. Every Third Thursday has seen some pretty neat concepts before - after all, the show has worked alongside brands including Toyota, Leatherman Tool Group, and Jack Daniels to bring creative snowboard iterations to life.
