Rome Lo-Fi - Snowboarding Forum

This is my first year really snowboarding. last year i went a handful of times. This year I've been mastering the basics and hitting a few rails in the park on a crappy board that i got for cheap. But now that its the end of the season and boards are cheap i'd like to buy a better board geared for the park. I've found an 08-09 Rome Lo-Fi for $215, but can't find very many reviews on it? /: does anybody know anything about the Rome Lo-Fi or just Rome in general? Thanks (:

from what ive gathered from the rome lo-fi is that its a traditional camber board with a -2 degree bevel which is good so you wont catch an edge as easy for rails, sintered base so its fast and strong and is soft enough for butters but can handle large kickers and high speeds. sounds like a solid board to me.

thanks! i went ahead and ordered it. hopefully it will be here in time for me to take it a few times to the hill before the season ends.
