Rome Machine Snowboard 2008 

SPIN SLOWLY. BUTTER SMOOTHLY. SMILE.

Simple ideas can be revolutionary.   Ideas like putting metal edges on snowboards or selling bread pre-sliced.  Or making a jib board for riders with size 11+ feet.  When Rome created the Machine two years ago, it was the first series designed specifically for riding rails and park jumps with bigger feet.  Armed with the Impact Plates^TM and the new Impact Base, the 2008 Machine is better than ever for landing on rails and boxes all day.  The extra width also delivers stable landings and a surfy feel in powder.

What the Machine thinks is shradical:  skate-influenced snowboarding; parking-lot jib contests; smooth toeside take-offs; rental van quarterpipes; backcountry filming
