They say: Serious freestyle goodness.
We say: Ride have built a board aimed at the more experienced female freestyler here. Its got bags of pop thanks to their ‘Pop Rods’, and the almost flat base means it holds an edge well in the pipe or on bigger kickers.
Tester says: Quite an aggressive pop, but great fun.

About Ride
- Building boards since: 1992
- HQ: Seattle, WA, USA
- History lesson: Now one of the best-known brands in snowboarding, Ride was founded in 1992. Tim Pogue, a former Burton employee, joined forces with Jamie Salter – of the now sadly defunct Kemper snowboards – and a third friend Roger Madison to work on a new project. Their vision struck a chord with riders both in the states and in Europe who were looking an alternative to the super-sized ski brands that dominated the market. Ride’s spectacular early success drove the company’s founders to take it public in 1994. Since then it has grown steadily.
- Ridden by: Shredders who want to be alternative without going all the way. Riding Ride makes you look less like your dad kids!
