Summary

The Rome Shank is a jib specific board with a flat to rocker and a little extra something going on at the nose/tail.  It has a nose/tail that is turned up at the sides to make the board a little more of a catch-free ride. We preferred the Butter Knife and the Artifact Rocker over the Shank.  Something felt wrong to Peter and me in the flex. It wasn't a stiff board when you flexed it but it wasn't very playful when you rode it.

Sick board. A must have for the park. Makes you feel like you are riding in a skate park. It makes everything possible to hit. A soft flexing board but it is also very stable at high speeds because of the diamond shaped base. You will NEVER catch and edge with this board. Deffinatley not for powder though.
