Looking to buy a new board and I am in love with the design of the new benchwarmer from ride. I know that may be a hot take but the light blue with that chrome is just beautiful to me.

However, I haven’t seen hardly any reviews on this board. I’m not a park guy but I am looking to start progressing there but currently I would say I’m more of an all-mountain freestyle type of guy. I lean to more playful riding - love side hits, cruising, messing around on groomers and occasionally hitting the park. Not in it to race anyone down the mountain or anything. Description wise the benchwarmer seems like it would fit half my needs but design wise it makes me want to force that board to be everything I need and want lol.

Currently riding the Bataleon Whatever which is obviously a drastically different board and I know the benchwarmer will be nothing like that. But I’m just curious if anyone is personally riding the Benchwarmer daily and how they like it/what they like about it. Thanks everyone!

Man I haven’t been able to find anything on this board as far as actual reviews go! There was a rider at the x games on it, Rocco Jamieson, he has a handful of clips riding it. Those clips convinced me to grab it! Not that I’ll ever be able to do any of the stuff he can but it looks beautiful and if he can ride it at the x games I can ride it on the groomers, right?

haha exactly I also started following Rocco because of his riding... and really liked how the board like too!
But yeah trying to find reviews from regular riders who spend most of the time on small/medium features... just concerned this would be too much of a board...

As you said unfortunately I haven't be able to found much on youtube as well.. and ride zero feels like it will be a little too soft!

His style is incredible!

I definitely have the same concerns as you though. I’m almost positive this will be too much of a board for me right now but I’m also kind of looking at it with the mindset that a challenging/stiffer board should eventually make me better.. hopefully lol. I looked at the ride zero also but since I already have a softer, playful/do anything board and want to start progressing more in the park and on features I figured I’ll grab something that I can grow into (it helps that it’s also my favorite graphic I’ve seen to date). I’ll likely never be good enough to push this board to its full potential but I’m not missing out on this design, which may be a dumb reason to buy, but if I never get good enough to do it justice it’ll make for a nice piece of wall art in the office 😂

I’ll hopefully be able to take it out come March so if you haven’t grabbed one by then I’ll report back on my experience with it!
