Artifact

Got to take this board out to Bear Mountain a few days ago and had a ton of fun hitting all the features. Super fun, playful board was able to handle everything I threw at it. I’m 160lbs 11.5 size boot and the 152 wide was perfect for me. Can’t recommend enough, plus it just looks sick af

It’s an awesome board, but having no option to choose a b-grade deck, it’s frustrating to have a full price board with an airbubble in the top sheet. Initially I thought it was just a cosmetic blemish, and with it being a park board, I didn’t really care because it’s gonna get used and scratched anyways. The problem is under the air bubble, the base has a bubble too, which I noticed after waxing. I couldn’t get a solid scrape and realized there’s this base bubble that actually lifts the edge right on the nose right contact point. It’s just a bummer because I’ve always loved rome and thought this type of defects wouldn’t hit the customer. I just hope it doesn’t effect the integrity of the sidewall since it’s so close to the edge.

Rome's product description is exactly what the Artifact is; pressable but plenty of pop to do all sorts of ground and park jobs. The double kick tail is super nice for jobs and jumps! It's super fun to ride, I just couldn't keep my self from trying new things even after being exhausted. It just feels like a waste to not push this crazy board to it's limits! The graphics are funky which gets lots of looks from the start too! Super fun to take her across the whole mountain, hitting features I never thought I'd even attempt.

The shape is sick. Especially like the Double Kick. Also camber is the best! It gives you the power and stability you want. Downside to this board imho is it’s too soft. But some people like that and it is meant o he job specific. I actually found it more difficult to press because I wasn’t used to it and it would give out cuz I was pressing too hard. I would say it flexes like a 1, not a 4. Board it way softer than a 4 from capita for example. Super rad board, just be aware it’s soft, yet powerful.
