Nitro Magnum Wide Snowboard Review

Camber Directional Shape for Wide Feet
The Nitro Magnum is never mentioned in the same sentence as Burton, Lib Tech or Rome but it's not a bad ride.  The Magnum has been around for a while and has a pretty good reputation.  This is for those that like directional riding on the mountain better than the park but don't want something overly aggressive.  Camber has it's positives and negatives as most of you know.  It isn't easy to stay afloat in powder but is better carving out a turn on a morning groomer.  The price is right and the Magnum might be a good groomer board to compliment a powder board.

The Magnum has become the shred sled of choice amongst riders with large feet because it gives them an advantage over those without a solid landing platform. The Magnum has never been treated as a wide board, because it has none of the characteristics of wide boards. It’s light and responsive with its directional shape that is perfectly blended to rip turns in pow or on groomers without speed scrubbing toe drag. And our Sintered Speed Formula base means you will be passing by all those barnies stuck in the pow with their little twigs.

IT PROVIDES THE FREEDOM TO TURN AT HIGH SPEEDS WITHOUT TOE DRAG AND COMPRISING EDGE TO EDGE FEEL. IT MEETS ALL THE DEMANDS OF A HIGH PERFORMANCE ALL TERRAIN BOARD.
