Rome Artifact Snowboard 2008 

TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS

Head to a local jib event anywhere in the world, and you're bound to see a bunch of riders carrying Artifacts as they hike back up to the drop in.  With its soft flex in the tip and tail, the Artifact nose presses and 5-0s so easy it's almost cheating.  Spearheaded by Casey Neefus, the other dimension of the board's unique flex pattern is the solid feel between the feet-for balance and stability on boardslides.  Quite possibly the funnest snowboard in the world for taking the street to the mountain.

What the Artifact thinks is shradical:  riding park with a crew of friends; butter sessions; style on rails; technical tricks on rails; switch tricks on rails; street skating
