Comments about Ride Snowboards Kink:

Excellent board for everything in your average park from tiny rails to medium/big kickers. Haven't taken it off any bigger jumps (50 ft. plus) but it's super stable in the air on everything up to 45 footers. Flex is def. medium. Anyone who says this thing is a noodle must have been riding a 2x4 before getting on this thing. It can be pressed really nicely but you still have to use a little effort. For riding the park or jibbing off natural features it does everything really well.
The issue with this board is the poor topsheet construction. Mine, as well as just about every kink I see on the mountain, has sections of the nose and tail topsheet delaminating and peeling off in strips, though even with this problem, I don't notice any change in performance. Also the rough topsheet prevents sticker adhesion and it scratches really easily. Hopefully Ride puts a regular topsheet on there for the 2013 instead of trying to be fancy with this weird skateboard deck feeling topsheet.

best board I've had.. too bad it doesn't last as much gangsta banging as nitros I've had for example.. If you want to handle it all with just a one board this is the one..

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.

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.

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.

GOOD BOARD BUT I WAS VERY UPSET WITH THE TOP OF THE BOARD. STARTED TO WEAR REAL QUICK AND ALOT OF THE GRAFIX ARE STARTING TO COME OFF AND TURN PLAIN WHITE!!!!

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.

this board is amazing!! everyone told me that it was more of a park board but idc what anyone says because it holds a great edge making sharp turns carving. and i flew down the hill and had no problem. jumps it was very good i took it off some 40 footers and it held up real well no wash outs. great rail board and real flexible.. i would recommend this board to anyone
