Ride Machete – 2010

The new 2010 Ride Machete snowboard was voted Snowboarder Magazine’s number one in the Men’s Best of Test category, and given its incredible all mountain performance, we’d have to agree.

The Ride Machete comes loaded with Ride’s innovative board technology, including LowRize rocker sidecut which minimizes hook while maintaining great pop. As with most Ride’s 2010 boards, the Machete features 85A Slimewalls which are extremely durable, and maintain forgiveness even when the temperatures dip below zero degrees. The board is soft enough to be fun in the park, but remains stable at high speeds.

Bottom line is the Ride Machete is a Swiss army knife on the mountain, suitable for intermediate through very advanced riders.

Key Features of the Ride Machete Snowboard include the following:

  • 85A Slimewalls sidewals
  • LowRize Rocker
  • Cleave Edge edges
  • Performance Tuned Core

2009 Ride DH2

Reviewed By: Joe Gardiner

Board Model: DH2

Board Size: 155

Age: 24

Riding Style: Everything

This board is everything Ride claims it to be. The slimewalls and transitional radial sidecut ensure smooth turning even on a choppy groomer. It is a very lively board with a lot of pop. It is very easy to pop out of presses making it a very maneuverable board on jibs. The base, yet a little harder to wax is very fast and worth the extra time to give it a proper wax job. The DH2 is also very light also helping the maneuverability of the board. Although designed for park, given the width of the series it handles very well in powder. A very fun and relatively easy board to ride. Seems to be a very durable board too. Weighing 195 lbs. I’ve had problems in the past with snapping boards on some not-so-hard landings. I’ve given this board a couple hard landings and so far no problems. This board along with the Ride Beta bindings is among the best boards I have strapped into.
