The Good Ride TakeThe Good Ride Take on Continuous RockerThis is where it all started or re-started in the Mid 2000’s. In the beginning Continuous Rocker was mainly for park and powder. Today it's still pretty much made for the same 2 functions. There are a few boards that are made for all mountain to freeride use but most of those have migrated to hybrid shapes. Continuous Rocker helps you maintain a catch free forgiving ride which is excellent for beginner riders or those who ride at slower playful speeds through the park. Almost every one we have tried has to be on edge or it will wander giving you that squirrely feeling like a skateboard with loose trucks. The biggest issue is it isn't very stable flat basing or one footing in firmer snow. Continuous rocker is for the most part really poppy and helps you generate your own air. There are many styles of this shape so this could be a good choice for beginners, park rats and people who only ride powder.
Company InformationArbor Element RX 2012System Rocker / Directional-Twin / Standard Width / Medium Flex 
THE MOUNTAIN SYSTEM A FUSION OF INTERDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT SUPPORT SUCCESSFUL ROCKER PERFORMANCE Make no mistake, rocker represents a completely different approach to snowboard design. It requires a total rethink of long held ideas of how flex, materials, and shape interact and affect performance. In response, Arbor developed The System to address the new physics of riding rocker. In our opinion, the award winning “System” has proven itself to be the best rocker design yet offered.
OTHER FEATURES & TECH THE TOPSHEET WOOD POWER PLY - Arbor’s wood Power Ply works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass - during construction resin locks the dense natural fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board for added return and improved durability, while allowing for important weight reduction. The Power Ply technology allows Arbor to reduce our overall reliance on chemically treated fiberglass and petroleum-based resin by up to 20%. The Power Ply is produced using sustainably sourced, natural wood veneer. The variance of real wood grain creates a one-of-a-kind look on each board made with this technology. BIO-FILM - Every board in the Arbor line is now built with an ultra thin protective top foil made using 30% caster bean based bio-plastic. This top sheet protects the board from damage caused by loose bindings, out-of-control skiers, or other unforeseen impacts. Its natural glossy nature also eliminates the need for environmentally harmful clear coats. WOOD CORE VOODOO CORE - Arbor’s second lightest and most versatile core, designed for mountain and park level durability; built with a 100% FSC certified, sustainably produced “TDS” poplar. TDS is a specially selected lighter grade of wood. BASE ROCKET BASE - A higher molecular weight, wax-infused sintered base that provides unmatched durability and speed SIDECUT UNBLENDED PROGRESSIVE - Arbor’s unblended tri-radial sidecut technology; better known as “Grip Tech.” Please see “The System” Section for more details. SIDEWALLS RHYTHM RAILS - Made from an advanced blend of ABS and urethane; delivers durability, a clean, acoustically damp ride, and solid edge performance. GLASS BALANCING MIXED GLASSING - A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatile on-mountain and park riding REINFORCING CARBON FIBER STRUT - Inserting carbon fiber down the center of a board creates a compression strut that livens up a board's longitudinal flex and improves durability without affecting turn-ability, spin initiation, or landing recoverability - designed for mixed mountain and park performance. INSERTS 2X4 14-PACKS - An insert system that provides a wide stance range and amazing micro adjustability; used to create Arbor’s: Mountain Stance - Max Stance: 24.4" / 62cm SHADOW FLEX MEDIUM SHADOW - Delivers mountain and park performance. A slight tapered thinning of the core profile between the bindings, improves: turn and spin initiation; tracking in mixed conditions, on the flats, and during landings; and performance on rails, boxes, and naturals. EDGES RECYCLED STEEL - Built with hardened steel edges made with 60% recycled steel; provides maximum edge performance. 2-YEAR WARRANTY Every board in the Arbor line comes with a two-year warranty on material and workmanship. We stand by everything we make. Arbor Element RX 2011The expansion of our System Series will be led by the new Element RX, which brings Arbor’s cornerstone roots design to an all-mountain rocker offering; feeding the ride-it-all addiction of a growing reverse camber community with Element level style and performance - on mountain, in the park, and beyond.
