Comments about Ride Snowboards Compact:
I have a 2010 Ride Compact, and it is definitely the best board I have ever owned. It pops very well off jumps, grinds well on rails, and holds up well at high speeds for such a flexible board. It also holds butters for a very long time. And another upside: the graphics are amazing!!! You can't see it on the computer, but the membrane in the top sheet makes the board sparkle in the sun. SUCH a cool board!

Comments about Ride Snowboards Compact:
When I first got this board, I was like "This is the one!" but it became a problem because the first one I received had messed up holes on the board itself, so I went back to the store the next day and got an exchange, and everything has been perfect from day one. I ride a 147, and let me say it was an amazing day other there! I got so much better at carving and just being able to go fast again. THANK YOU RIDE.
fyi - whats with the whole "made in china"??

Comments about Ride Snowboards Compact:
I am an all-mountain type of rider and this board has proven to be a perfect fit for me. I couldn't be happier with it. It is easy to land without catching an edge. But yet easy to cruise down the mountain with speed. It's a great all around board!

Comments about Ride Snowboards Compact:
Brilliant to ride, super easy, would compare it too the Burton feelgood, which is nearly double the price, and slightly harder to ride than this.
Best board ive ever bought

FEATURED TECH
LSD
All LSD board shapes feature a narrower waist width, a ladies specific flex pattern, sidecut and finely tuned rocker profile.
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.
MEMBRAIN®
Weighing less than half of traditional plastic top sheets, Membrain® maintains a smooth feel by infusing urethane into fabric. Along with pushing limits in the world of lightweight, this process also allows us to push the boundaries when it comes to graphics by utilizing the textures and aesthetics associated with a variety of fabrics.
