RIDERS HOMIES PERSONALITIES

Our unique way of seeing RIDE. Do you find it subjective, too subtle? Perfect. Come challenge us: that's how we recognize true enthusiasts.

Powder riding is like surfing on snow. You can do it in any mountain after a snowfall or on any untouched terrain. The boards are often softer, with a rocker and a long nose to give you a surfing and fun feeling. Powder boards are always a second board.

Freeriding is about riding big mountains: Alaska, Whistler, backcountry expeditions. These are more extreme powder conditions where the rider must be knowledgeable and cautious. The boards are stiffer, with a large directional shape to lift the front of the board, and they are often higher-end. For the most part, a freeride board is a second board.

All-mountain freeriding is a day in the mountains focused on powder snow. Untouched slopes, forests, and powder snow. The boards aren't too soft, with a longer nose for heavy snow conditions. This type of board can handle all terrains but should be avoided in a snowpark.

All-mountain freestyle, the name says it all: it's an all-mountain board with a good freestyle personality. It's a twin or twin directional board, with both sides equal (or almost), allowing you to ride anywhere on the mountain and finish your run in the park. It's a very versatile all-mountain board for the rider who wants to have only one board for all types of days.

Superpark is what you see on TV when you watch the X-Games or the Olympics. These are boards designed for landing jumps of 60 feet and more, for doing 2 in 2 out on a down rail—in short, a big park snowboard. The boards are stiffer and often have a pronounced camber, all to better grip the landing of a big jump.

Park boards are made for those who spend their day in the snowpark. They generally have a medium flex with a flat or rocker shape for more fluidity in the snowpark. The person using this board does jumps of reasonable size and rails.

Jibbing is snowpark riding, but without the jumps. It's all about focusing on rails, whether in your local mountain's snowpark or on the streets. A jib board is often softer and rocker-shaped for smoother rail riding and forgiving landings. The boards have more durable bases to withstand the impact of hitting the steel rails.
