If you can’t press or butter, this board is the easiest I have rode to do it. All around it’s a park rocker board, just like the name. The park rocker needed more help in pow cause it’s a softer board but even in the deep stuff it had float…just had to make sure the board didn’t buck you in the float. It has a lot of rocker making it very easy to butter/press and it does float in pow. Overall Impression: It’s soft, no surprise there. Switch: Easy to maneuver into switch and same flex, sidecut so easy to ride switch with. Pop: I played with the pop on the side of a mini pipe and off small rollers, its a poppy board but also I can see how you’d be cautious taking off jumps…which I didn’t do, just off rollers. It wasn’t as stable as pow specific boards but this is a park rocker, it will float but the softer flex isn’t meant for all out pow riding either. I took the park rocker through some NW powder turns where it floated, the softer flex made me more aware of making sure it didn’t go under and I didn’t lose control. There’s a point where it’s no turning back, but if you can hold the press it’s seriously way off above the snow. Stable: I was very careful the first time I tried a tail press, knowing fully that it would be easier than I needed to put effort into it. It is able to carve and the softer flex holds surprisingly but I wasn’t bombing carves with it either. It did hold an edge on some groomed runs. It was also very predictable with the sidecut, no surprises, no aggressive turns…very mellow turning and nothing to throw you off during a turn. Turning: In terms of turning, very easy ride to initiate. Definitely for higher speeds, not as stable…but I also take into consideration I was riding a smaller size than normal. It’s easy to tail and nose press, I’m still amazed by the flex of this board but it’s not a board that will remind you of bronco riding, it is still manageable when riding. It’s a soft park specific board, it’s soft. Setup: I rode the Signal Park Rocker with Union Forces and my Rome Vamps size 8.įirst Impression: This is the most playful softest board I’ve ridden.įlex: A picture is worth a 1,000 words so please see the 2nd picture down below. Snow Conditions: Snowing with powder on runs, some groomed areas. I’ll update this link to that when it goes live. This review was done through Board Insiders and will be featured on their site as a review with video of me explaining the board and riding it.
