Rome Pusher Snowboard Review

PUSHER_153_med

$499
Discontinued 2012

Intermediate to Expert Freestyle to Jib
Continuous Rocker Twin Shape
Take the Rome Mod, mellow out the flex, add rocker and you have the Rome Pusher.  It is a soft and playful park board that will do very well in the jib park.  Not much has changed for 2011.  The pusher has a better flex and a little more spring but other than that it's pretty much the same.

The Good Ride Take

  

The Good Ride Take on Rome
Rome is relatively new but has some of the best people in the industry working there.  For example the designer of the Burton custom is now a principle and designer at Rome.  Their strong point is that they make exceptional park and all mountain snowboards.  They make boots and bindings that are loved or hated but don’t have the rep that their boards have.  From what we have experienced with their clothing its well made, fits well and the waterproofing isn’t bad for the price.   Their gloves are hit or miss and don’t really have the rep that their clothing does.  They have exceptional customer service and everyone at Rome seems to really love what they are doing so if you have an issue it will most likely be handled professionally.   Rome hasn’t really been leading the innovation charge the last few years but almost everything they make is well thought out and fun to use.   Rome has the average to 100+ day freestyle to all mountain rider dialed out.

2010 Rome Pusher

RIDE THE WHITE LIGHTNING When Rome introduced the Agent seven years ago, we led the softer-board, freestyle-the-mountain movement. With the Pusher, the SDS once again is at the forefront of the mentality that views the entire mountain as a park. With our versatile Reverse-Free camber profile, the Pusher has a loose, buttery, surfy feel that is balanced with the ollie and torsional pop of the Carbon V Stringer. From park to pow, push the sick button with the reverse camber Pusher. Superpop Core Matrix
