Salomon: Riot Snowboard

Remember Salomon's successful Prospect snowboard? This Riot snowboard is the next step in the evolution of design. This is a freestyle, directional-twin shape that's ideal for resort runs and park toys, but the Riot's overall design is remarkably durable and built to take plenty of ollie-abuse. At the center of the Riot is Salomon's strongest wood core--the "Aspen Strong"--with high density wood strips along the inserts and rail zones. This core has a distinct, biaxial medium density fiberglass that lends a lively flex without undermining the board's durability. Around these wood and fiber edges is a Royal Rubber sidewall that increases the board's overall impact resistance and dampens shocks from impacts with rails, rocks and other unyielding obstacles. Like many Salomon all-mountain snowboards, the Riot has a quadratic sidecut made from elliptical curves in the design that adjusts the radius to every running edge for optimal control--it's a better ride for guys who don't want the radial cuts found on traditional freestyle boards. Beneath everything is Salomon's Sintered 2000 base, a fast, low-maintenance surface that's finished with a medium stone finish that improves sintered base glide in all snow conditions.
