Rome Buckshot Snowboard 2018

2018 Rome Buckshot Snowboard

The brainchild of Ozzy Henning and Toni Kerkela, the award winning positive cambered Buckshot is built for riders who see features everywhere they look. With a freestyle friendly flex that begs to be pressed and locks into rails with ease, the 2018 Rome Buckshot is the go-to for park lappers across the globe. Rebound sidewalls help to absorb impact so you can disaster-front board with confidence.

Stay Positive Camber

Design: Positive camber through 100% of the running length.

Defining Feel: “Pop” defines the feel of this camber profile. For riders who love pop off lips, pop from turn to turn, pop in their pow slashes, and pop into and out of rail tricks, there is no other choice. This is the feel that they need. Driven by our team riders and long-term shreds, you’ll find this camber in all-mountain boards and park boards.

True Twin: Our True Twin shapes are perfectly symmetrical. If you cut the board in the dead middle of the board, the nose piece and the tail piece will be identical in shape and flex. If you remove the graphic from a True Twin, there is no way to tell the nose from the tail. With their balanced feel and equality toward switch riding, this shape helps drive the personality of our park boards and the more jump-oriented all-mountain freestyle boards.

Pop Core Matrix: The everyday balance of response and lightness, this go-to design is built primarily of responsive, strong wood, with two zones of a lighter wood species.

StraightBiax Laminate: For boards where the focus is on fun and a more mellow feel, pure 90 degree fibers drive the personality.

Rebound Sidewalls: Found in rail boards like our Artifact series, our Rebound Sidewalls feature higher elasticity than normal ABS sidewall material so you can run laps in the park every day of the season and have a board that takes the beating and comes back for more.

Hot Rods: Bamboo Single Barrel - Found in both TurboRod and HotRod Technologies, a single barrel of carbon, glass or bamboo delivers more pop in the centerline of the board without any unwanted torsional power to increase freeride edge hold.

Basalt Impact Plates: When landing bigger drops to flatish landings or when cranking a ton of heelside power into your board, your bindings can put a lot of force on the core of your board. To help disperse the energy and prevent denting of the core, we lay in thin Basalt Impact plates to reduce core compressions by over 2X.

Impact Edges: 

SinterTrue Base: Baseline sintered speed to drive our mid-range freestyle and freeride boards. Plenty of wax absorption from the sintered structure.
