Nitro Rook Snowboard - Mid Wide

The Rook is a true twin that has won multiple board tests in the last two seasons, giving it an instant legendary board status. The mid-wide shape and Zero Camber makes the board easier to transition from rails to jumps. The Bi-Lite Laminates give the Rook a very forgiving flex while the Ballistic Impact Panels and Rail Killer Edge take all the abuse that the park dishes out. Rounding out the Rook's insanity is the dual degressive sidecut that keeps the board from being catchy on take offs and landings, but provides a solid hold between your feet. Don't be a mark for those other companies - try a board that will give you some love back.

2011-2012 Nitro Rook Men's Snowboard Key Features:

Zero Camber - Zero camber combines the best of regular and negative camber, making these boards easy to maneuver while adding more snap and ollie pop. The result is a board with maximum versatility in more varied riding terrain.

Powercore II - Nitro’s Powercore II is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional stringers of select beech wood for unrivalled strength that maintains smooth response and insane snap.

Bi-Lite Fiberglass Construction -Nitro’s Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivaled strength, powerful style and refined board feel.

Ballistic Impact Panel - Kevlar is used in bulletproof vests and body armor to protect your core. Nitro uses it in strategic places around the binding-to-board interface to protect the construction from impacts during hard landings. This panel is much stronger and way lighter than common titanal reinforcements.

Pop Band - This strategically placed fiber reinforcement enhances ollie pop power. It also maintains the board’s torsional flex and natural feel unlike other reinforcements.

Park Flex Pattern - Specifically tuned for park riding, the Park flex pattern is forgiving yet responsive, allowing you to take your riding to the next level.

Sintered Speed Formula Base - Fast, tough and low maintenance – life’s short, so haul ass. The material compound of high molecular weight PE and hyperglide wax additives used in Nitro’s Speed Formula base pushes their pro riders to go bigger than anyone else.

Railkiller Edge - Your secret weapon rails. With its unique edge profile and increased impact resistance – over 200% more than standard edges - this proprietary construction can take on any rail challenge. Take a file or ride them hard to wear them down, this chunk of steal has enough meat for years of rail riding.

Profile Tip - The tips are tapered to disperse energy and reduce swing weight.

Dual Degressive Side-Cut – This side-cut makes landings and take-offs effortless without sacrificing powerful turns.
