The Good Ride TakeThe Rome Posermania Review by The Good RideBoard-156 Riders- 5'10" 195lbs Size 9 shoe, 6' 160lbs Size 10.5 shoe Boots- Burton SLX
The Postermania was a board that we didn't expect much from and those are alwasys the best when you get a lot more back. So here is how it rode.
Groomers- Big surprise here. The Postermania is not set up to take on the groomers like the camber Agent but for a board of it's specs we were really impressed. It's the kind of board that really can carve, jib, carve around the mountain and that is really fun. It has eough stability at speed to make it more than a jib around the mountain board.
Powder- As far as a twin is concerned the Postermania did a pretty good job. The flat between the feet plains well and the rocker keeps you afloat. It's not going to blow minds like some bigger rocker twins but it's better than a camber board and some flat camber boards.
Turn Initiation/Carving-Like many flat/rocker boards the turn initiation isn't super easy but it's not hard by any means either. We actually prefer this to the ultra easy feeling to turn many hybrid rocker boards create. You can make short quick turns or long carving turns. The long carving turns part was pretty surprising for this board. We expected less but it was just a bit better than average.
Speed- Again another surprise here. We expected stability between the feet but the board is pretty damp for a park twin. This was a lot of fun. Don't get us wrong this is right on the average side of good but we were expecting average.
Weight- Not super light but pretty light.
Edge Hold- We are big fans of the relatively new side cut that Rome introduced to many of their boards. What they call "quickrip" is interesting approach to the extension of the edges. Instead of putting the extension of the edges right between the feet they put it out just a little further past the bindings. It's doesn't extend that far but it runs for a while along the edges. Here is the thing. It holds an edge very well. Even riding this after a magnetraction board we found ourselves not wanting more edge hold. It's hard to say how long this edge hold will last but from our experience so far the boards we have ridden have held up pretty well.
Flex- The flex is soft enough to butter but not so soft that you can't deal with a little speed. Very fun balance.
Switch- This centered stance true twin is incredibly easy to ride either direction.
Rails/Jibbing- The Postermania is not a dedicated jib board like the artifact but it does a good job for its flex and riding. You can slide across most rails and deal with most jibs. If you are serious about the Jib park then get something else but if you like everything in the park the Postermania isn't bad.
Pipe- If you don't hit the jib park all the time the rails will stay pretty sharp to have enough grip up some of the larger pipe walls.
Jumps- When it comes to pop there isn't a tremendous amount but you can get a pretty good ollie going with some work. When hitting the rollercoaster park the Postermania stomps everything. It's very stable and predictable when launching and landing in the park.
Overall we were very impressed with the Postermania and like the way it rides everywhere.
