Rome Artifact Snowboard – Product Guide

Introduction

The Rome Artifact is a straight-up freestyle legend, Rome’s true jib and park destroyer that’s been around for years and refined to perfection. It’s playful, pressable, and ridiculously fun for anyone who lives for rails, side hits, and park laps. The Artifact isn’t about charging big lines at Mach 10. It’s about creative snowboarding, buttery style, and getting weird in all the best ways.

Who It’s For

  • For: Park riders, jibbers, and anyone who wants a soft-flex twin that makes butters, presses, and rail tricks feel like second nature.
  • Not for: High-speed carvers or freeride chargers. If you’re looking to bomb double blacks or ride waist-deep powder, this isn’t your weapon.

  • Stay Positive Camber: Classic full camber profile for maximum pop, snap, and stability on jumps.
  • True Twin Shape: Perfectly symmetrical for riding and landing switch.
  • Impact Core: Durable, snappy core designed to take abuse from rails and heavy landings.
  • Bamboo Omega HotRods: Bamboo stringers with Omega laminates for playful flex and extra pop without being overly stiff.
  • Stomp Core Zones: Reinforced sections underfoot to handle heavy impacts.
  • Powerslide Base: Durable, easy-to-maintain base built for park riding and rail abuse.
  • Flex Rating: Soft-medium (4/10), making it pressable but still supportive for jumps.

Competitor Boards to Consider

  • Capita Horrorscope: Another soft-flexing jib machine with cult status in the park.

  • Bataleon Disaster: A park-focused twin with 3BT shaping for catch-free rail riding.

Conclusion

The Rome Artifact is a park rat’s dream board. Soft, lively, and built to take endless laps through the park or street. With its full camber profile and playful flex, it’s got the pop you need for jumps and the looseness you want for rails and presses. If your idea of a good day on the mountain involves more time in the park than on the chairlift, the Artifact is the ultimate tool for the job.
