Rome Graft Snowboard 2008 

A NEW WAVE OF SNOWBOARD EXPRESSION

When we introduced the Graft last year, riders like Casey Neefus and Brendan Hayes quickly started using it as their daily ride.  Now, in just the second year of the series, we've re-engineered it into a twin design based on the foundation of last-year's chassis.  So the original feel is maintained, but its switch capacities are stepped up.  Unlike the jib-specific performance of the Artifact, the Graft is a twin with a little more pop for a diversity of pleasures-sure it likes handrails, but it also likes big jumps, transitions, cliff drops, and pillow lines. 

What the Graft thinks is shradical:  switch tricks; campus handrails; natural backcountry jumps; laid-out backflips; methods; pow landings
