Rome Mod

After the many years of searching for THE board, Rome's Mod delivers!! From the lift line to the jump line and even the pipe...this board just kept asking for more. To my surprise I found that the Mod with bindings was amazingly light...in fact lighter that my Rome Graft 157 w/o bindings. Loved the super fast based..really kept me on my A game while doing some serious all mountain shred. Super stable at high speeds...no chatter..& very smooth buttery edge transitions. To the bumps & crude...well was just another day for the MOD, effortless edge change as well & plenty of power & ollie pop from the tail when needed. In the park this board even in a 58cm was surprisingly quick and nimble to slay any jibs / fun boxes in it's way!! Camber for the effortless ollie pop up the table top & kickers was a delight as well. If your looking for the Ferrari of the snowboards ...look no more!! The Rome Mod is a hands down winner for me!!

Dry & cracked winter hand solution

Between the mariot of winter riding & sliding activities, I had realized my hands were shot!!! Having sweaty gloves on your hands for hours at a time...this really does not sound appealing to anyone. To no avail I tried a multitude of solutions only to find the obvious was right in front of me...(well not exactly...snicker, snicker). Had a good industry friend of mine actually suggest using chamois cream! I was a bit taken back at first considering what the intended use of the said product is. At any rate I did give it a week or so try. Yes...to my surprise,,,those cracked & dry hands were no longer an issue believe it or not. Bottom line (sorry had to go there) apparently it's the lanolin in the creme that speeds up the healing process. Now folks...you have to use a bit of common sense here..hopefully there's not to many double dippers out there (you know who you are). When applied to dry & cracked winter hands chamois creme does an surprising good job. Give it a try and please feel free to get back to me, I'd love to hear your feedback.
