Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:
I have 2010/2011 model and it is the best board I've ever had, it's insanely good board for park, rails, urban, and much more. I would recommend this board to anyone who want to rule the park.

Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:
One of the best boards i ever had!!!
Its great in the park, i stomped so many new tricks!
But are you serious about the quality????
after 20 days on snow the core on nose and tail broke, 4 dings in the edge!
yes i went to the park every day, but that should cool for a park board.
is it the same board darrel mathes described in your product guide as "the first board i used for a whole season"???
i wouldnt be that upset about the board, but a board that is described as "very durable" should be at least a little bit durable...
but its a good board though, so if next years quality is better, i would be on the kink again.

Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:
i use the product mostly like 100% in park and it gets me there pretty smoothley and quickly the best things about it are probably the flex and the slimewalls also the flat camber.
probably the worst thing about the board is it does chip pretty easily id you hit the bar on the bottom of the chairlift or if some skiing noob hits you on the way down but otherwise its a great board ans i would definatly reccomend it.

Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:
Great board! Bought it when the board first came out at a show, first and only one there, had to have it. Looks great, gets a lot of comments standing in line for the lift. Very smooth ride, easy to pop onto boxes and rails. Smooth ride, carves nicely and is pretty fast! For a not so beginner to advanced rider. Only downfall is if it gets dinged, they show easily, but oh well, its a snowboard!!! Never going to any other board brand.

Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:
I like my snowboard to feel like a skateboard. This board in the 152 length pops and turns like a street deck (me: 5'10" 150lbs). At first I thought I had made a mistake buying this because it was soooo stiff. After a couple of sessions it has loosened up. Holds mannys and blunt slides without folding up on itself. The prorise is nice on rails.
It is a fun ride outside of the park. Although it's not a cambered board it will handle well on groomers and hold an edge when pointed downhill - even when ridden switch.

FEATURED TECH
PRORIZE™
This twin shape has minimal rocker featuring a long, stable flat zone that extends well beyond the inserts into the tip and tail.
85A SLIMEWALLS
Ride’s exclusive Slimewalls® are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may Ride on. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
