The secret is the combination of our Contact Camber, FiveGnar Sidecut.

Freestyle, as everyone knows, started before parks, and if you’re only interested in throwing shapes on the groomed features then you’re doing something wrong. The Rome Blackjack snowboard is for hitting everything and anything you come across, with a flat profile that definitely suits its ‘all-mountain freestyle’ intentions.

Rome Blackjack Snowboard Review

A carve on a flat board will never feel like one made on a traditional camber board, but Rome has attempted to minimise the discrepancy on the Blackjack (as well as its other flat sticks) by varying the sidecut. By putting a tighter radius at each end and in the middle, and a longer one at the feet, you should get easier turn initiation and a more powerful exit.

“The Rome Blackjack isn’t exactly a ‘premium’ board, but that’s reflected in the price tag”

Rome Blackjack Snowboard Review 2017

As a true twin it’s ripe for the park, where the flat profile won’t easily hang up on rails and boxes but will still deliver enough edge hold for kicker take-offs. The base is a strengthened version of a classic extruded style, so while it won’t be the quickest it can definitely take a beating – as well as being easy to repair when the time comes.

Rome Blackjack Snowboard Review

The Rome Blackjack isn’t exactly a ‘premium’ board, but that’s reflected in the pricetag. As a ‘resort’ board to stash alongside your high-tech pow gun, it’s ideal, and would also suit any rider wanting an affordable all-terrain-vehicle.
