Ride Highlife UL Snowboard - Wide

Offering a premium rider-to-board connection, Ride's Highlife UL showcases their brand new Hybrid All Mountain shape, featuring a loose and playful rocker in the tip with the grippy stability of camber under foot and through the tail.

Uniting rocker and camber into one all-mountain masterpiece, this responsive directional can ride effortlessly in pow, have fun cruising with the crew and keep you lapping at mach speeds.

The 2011-2012 Ride Highlife UL Snowboard key features:

Hybrid All Mountain - Featuring rocker in the nose and a level micro-camber zone extending under the feet and through the tail for a perfect blend designed to charge it all. Offering the loose, fun and effortless shape in the tip, with grip, pop and stability through the rest of the board to provide a premium feel for the ultimate rider-to-board connection. This hybrid camber shape is ideal for the ultimate hard charging experience and blissful days of soul riding.

UL Core - Built to smooth the ride and lighten the load. The UL Core has tip-to-tail full thickness silencer stringers, placed strategically within the wood core for high strength and less weight.

Pop Rods 3.0 -Inject added liveliness to already fun and playful boards. Using strategic placement in the tip and tail, this technology adds pop without excessive stiffness generally associated with snappy boards. Made up of flat carbon rods that wrap a urethane slime-core, Pop Rods have carbon for massive pop and a slime-core to smooth out the landings. Available in three levels: Pop Rods 1.0, 2.0 & 3.0, offering more carbon in each increased level.

Carbon Array 5 - This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then transferred to the opposing contact point for maxed out board control. Three levels of technology are available from 3, 5, to 7 rays.

Silencer 5 - Purifies the response from Ride's Pop Glass, Carbon Arrays and Linear reinforcements by filtering out vibrations for a super smoothed-out, snappy core.

90A Slimewalls - Ride’s exclusive Slimewalls are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood, or metal surfaces you may ride on. On top of that, these sidewalls are virtually indestructible, the most durable in the industry.

Membrain Topsheet - Weighing less than half of traditional plastic top sheets, Membrain maintains a smooth feel by infusing urethane into fabric. Along with pushing limits in the world of lightweight, this process also allows Ride to push the boundaries when it comes to graphics by utilizing the textures and aesthetics associated with a variety of fabrics.

Pop Glass - 90 Degree carbon fibers are stitched into the glass to balance torsion and stiffness for better response with speed.

Thin Con - Featuring tapered tips and tails, enhanced tip flex, reduced swing weight and sidewalls that run past the effective edge, Ride’s Thin Construction sets riders up for easy spins and board handling.

UL Steel Edge - Same Rockwell hardness, built thinner and ultra light, but not lacking the die-hard Ride durability.

New UL Base - This base is light and fast, the lightest base around.
