Review: Ride DH2 Snowboard

Dave McCaul here at The House. Talking about the uber-misty, limited-edition Ride DH 2 snowboard.1 snowboard. Super-awesome snowboard, you’re not gonna see many of this on the slopes. They are limited in productions on this one.
What you’re looking at here, they got a very high-end true twin. You’re gonna have a lot of carving on this snowboard running underneath the bind positions to the tails like so. It’s gonna take all the power from the snowboard bindings, really put it to the contact points. Rattles and runs on a slightly thinner core but still has the same stiffness and definitely adds a lot of pop. From there, we got their LowRize technology. There’s a little bit of rocker in this one, its gonna be flat through here, goes into just a little bit of rise right by the contact points. It’s gonna keep the edges off, make it more forgiving, help you switch around… you know the spins if you come around a little short. Its got a membrane top sheet to it. They infused the top sheet with a top layer of fiberglass I would say, that’s gonna save some weight through the whole construction.
You got the sidewalls going on to it. It’s definitely gonna be a shock absorbent material. It’s gonna not cracked like an ABS Sidewall would. Rocks on the rails really, really good. You’ve got the Cleave Edge, double material to the edge. Really, really good if you are detuning and you want to get your edge back later on. High-end centered base, die-cut and subliminated. Coarsing about this snowboard definitely is the Michael Zepeda graphics. He’s done work with a lot of companies out there including Volcom. Really cool gloss-matte details. You got your skulls, you got your birds, snakes, scantily-clothed women… I mean, its really got it all. Super-cool snowboard.
If I rode a Ride snowboard, this would be the snowboard that I would be on. So definitely pick it up. This will not last long. They’ve got different graphics coming up every couple months or so that they’ll gonna release. Kind of like the Nike SP program, you gotta get on it quick otherwise they’re gone. RideDH2 snowboard is a sick, sick snowboard.
