Good Features
The DH is a great park-do-anything board. It presses and butters well, gives on a rail, stable on approach and landings yet it can carve turns when you drive the edges. Slimewalls are so nice you don't even notice them...until you ride something without them.
Bad Features
I can't come up with anything.
Recommended Alternatives
For more $$ try the pop-ier Ride Society, K2 Jibpan, or Nitro Suprateam.
For close to the same $$ try the stiffer K2 Believer.
For less $$ try the Forum Destroyer, Omatic Awesome, K2 Darkstar or Burton Dominant. |

From Peter Glenn:
Style#:R07008 Winter 2007 The award winning Ride DH snowboard is the jib-hitting, park-slaying board of choice for many seasoned riders. With an unmatched combination of pop, stability and durability the DH snowboard lays to waste hits, jumps and drops whether man-made or naturally formed. Ride's revolutionary 85A SlimewallsT absorb impact and add even more damage resistance to the oversized Cleave Edge steel edges. Underneath is Ride's fastest sintered base, the Fusion 4000, for unmatched acceleration and durability. - Thin Con design reduces weight without eliminating strength
- Carbon Array 3 directs pressure to 3 points of the edge for carving control
- Hybrid glass combines aramid, carbon and glass fibers for a lively flex
- Foundation Tuned CoreT for a predictable ride
- Cleave Edge steel edge is extra durable and can be tuned more often than regular edges
- Fusion 4000 base is the fastest and most durable sintered base available
- The Ride DH snowboard features 85A SlimewallsT edges to absorb impact and smooth the ride
