Ride Snowboards 2011-2012

In 1992, Ride Snowboards started with four snowboard models.  Now twenty years later, they have grown their collection of boards, boots and bindings that stays true to their roots.  When it comes to designing snowboard gear, Ride focuses on innovation, quality and style.

For snowboards, Ride Snowboards offers the best of both worlds with their technology.  For 2012, they have a hybrid twin and hybrid all mountain shaping on the boards.  But they also offer a HighRize, ProRize and LowRize for those looking to ride with rocker.  And of course the traditional camber is in the line.  Snowboard technology features UL core, UL base, UL steel and hempbrain, cleave edge, membrain, pop rods, slimewalls and carbon array.

For binding technology, Ride focuses on bringing you superior technology to improve the ride.  Tech includes the eclipse highback, thin grip toe straps, pre-curved 3D ankle straps, infinity chassis, astroglyde ratchets, wedgie footbeds and the always fun contraband designs.

For boots, Ride uses a mix of lacing options like BOA and speed lace lock and introduces the Phy-Top less is more design.  Other perks include intuition liners, articulating cuff and strapper zonal lacing.

This is a sneak peak, not every model is shown in this write-up.
