Micah Coville

A salt-of-the-earth ripper born and raised in Vermont, Micah Coville joined his brother Noah on Rome during the 2024 winter season and jumped right into filming for "Swarm".

After seeing the motivation and vibes he brought to the crew (not to mention a bottomless bag of tricks), the decision to put him on the AM team was a no brainer.

His footage is a nice blend of tech tricks on burly kink rails, multi-story-sized features, and a general approach to spots akin to a 10 year vet. While you may not be familiar with the name Micah Coville yet, he'll quickly become one of your favorite up-and-coming riders.

Noah Coville

Not only is he one of the kindest snowboarders, he is also one of the hardest-working. Born and raised in VT, Noah is the type of guy to put his head down and get the clip no matter what.

After finding his footing on the Rome team during the filming of Particle, Noah was one of the main drivers of "Swarm". Not only did he put out a full part, but he was also the principal videographer and often doubled as the logistics coordinator.

Noah's spot selection included technical kink rails, pleasing aesthetics, tasteful lines, and straight-up uniquely shaped features. You'll find yourself watching Noah's part again and again, finding a new favorite clip each playthrough.

Lolo Derminio

The newest member of the Pro team here at Rome, Lolo has made a name for herself thanks to her hard-charging approach to the streets. This AZ native goes all-in at every spot, no matter the consequences.

Meeting up with the rest of the crew in February, Lolo's infectious energy fit right in. Always down to shovel a landing or offer words of encouragement mid-battle, she made sure the crew was dialed.

Having to maximize her short time with the crew, Lolo found herself drawn to some buck spots, often involving the roofs of buildings.

Derek Lemke

Already quietly being noticed by Midwest legends, this Michigan-based ripper is soon to be a household name.

Derek goes scorched earth on any spot unfortunate enough to be in front of him. The difficulty of his spots and tricks can often go overlooked with his smooth style and perfect execution.

A master Google Earth spot finder, Derek makes light work of mostly any feature. When 20 tries could be considered a battle you know you're built different.

With a part that blends aggressive kinks, rail-to-rails, smooth spins, a switch game that would make any boarder envious, and an ender that some experts are saying breaks the laws of physics: you're gonna need to see this part to believe it.

Maggie Leon

This Connecticut born engineer/shredder combo needs no introduction to anyone who's been paying attention to Rome.

Joining up with the crew when she could between projects involving Rome binding advancements, you know when Maggie is on screen, thanks to her unique take on spots.

Gaps, drops, and closeouts galore, Maggie's unique style of snowboarding is on full display.

Casey Savage

Vermont native Casey may be the perfect example of VT snowboarding. Oftentimes drawn to trees, rocks, and other alternative mediums of jibbing, his snowboarding is beyond entertaining to watch.

Finding standard metal down rails too boring, Casey has a knack for searching out NBD spots that most boarders would overlook. Just look at the car jack in the photo to the right...who does that?

With footage that is better watched than explained, Casey's unorthodox spot selection and gritty VT style will have you coming back for more.

Drake Warner

The youngest piece of the "Swarm" crew, Michigan local Drake Warner, is also the most vocal. Considered by the rest of the crew as the "little brother" of the group, Drake is certifiably incredible on a snowboard.

The kid is always down to have a good time, crack jokes, and hype everyone up. From the second he wakes up and gets a White Monster in him, he is ready to rip.

With a high energy mix of jumping off roofs and getting buck on all sorts of rails, the caffeine consumption is clearly working for Drake.

With a couple established names in snowboarding and a few up-and-comers, "Swarm" embodies the crew's love of snowboarding. With the only goal being to stack clips, we back this group of riders and their All Ways Down mentality. Additional filming by Joey Leon, with appearances from Connor Cavanagh & Poly, "Swarm" releases online October 27th on Torment Mag.
