Rome Agent 2013

Ride Like An Expert With The Rome Agent 2013 snowboard.

When you have the time and experience to really deliver power on the runs, the 2013 Rome Agent  gives you the hardware to match.  There are boards for beginners and intermediates, and then there are boards specially designed for those whose experience and skill level goes well beyond that.  This article will go over some of the features that make this board so well suited to the needs of experts and more advanced boarders.

This board is great for both all mountain and freestyle runs, boasting the directional features and stability of each, among other things.  It has the pop for the more manicured front lawn runs of mountain courses in addition to the fresh backyard lines that you blaze yourself.  The board is highly responsive with its positive camber, helping to give it that exceptional pop on either style of run, and you get the stiff flex for when you need to make really strong turns and are counting on a quick response.

The core of the Rome Agent 2013 snowboard is a combination of low density wood types that give it the light and very smooth transition for its unique flex.  It also has the carbon rod in the center to give the required support without the encumbrance of additional stiffness.  This core is paired with a laminate that ensures the board is able to stand up to anything you give it.  That means for the big drops and jumps of whatever run you can think of, this board is built to unbreakable standards.  Impact is displaced and dispersed so that there are never sure breaking points in the board, but rather each is able to absorb impacts and keep you running time and time again.  That comes through impact plates and fibers that are built especially for the needs of advanced riders.  Essentially, the Rome Agent 2013 is made to respond when you need it to, and how you need it to.

Riding Style: old school slow spinning tweaker

great board although not as good as last years agent 1985, far more serious, and somehow manages to be stiffer, but with no more pop. the camber underfoot is a lot more pronounced in this model, giving unbelievable edge hold. very solid off big jumps, and holds a rail well, and the dampening really works if you land on ice, (maybe it also dampens the pop). this board is amazing, but a bit disappointing after last year’s sheer perfection, a lot more aggressive and less playful, i can’t wait for it to soften up even if it does mean losing the pop. Please Rome remake the 1985 agent it was a masterpiece

ok to be fair i’ve only had the board 2 days, and haven’t had any pow to try it in yet, but there aren’t any reviews of this board on the net yet and someone needs to spread the word. If you’ve seen avatar, then it’s a bit like when they plug their pony tails into the animals. This board is your sex slave, and if it’s riding badly then you are. I assume it is easier to ride than normal camber in the pow, but i can verify that rome have not sacraficed any pop or edge hold, though can get a bit shakey. Would not suit anyone with an aggressive style, this board is super laid back, but always does what it is told. unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to hit any big jumps yet, as i’m in sloakia and our biggest jump in the park is tiny so far this season, but it lands really nice. easily the best deck i have ridden, and i’ve ridden everything. So assuming it likes pow and big jumps, it would be really hard to improve on this snowboard, as i said….No Compromise !
