08 ROME MACHINE SNOWBOARD
Simple ideas can be revolutionary. Ideas like putting metal edges on snowboards or selling bread pre-sliced. Or making a jib board for riders with size 11+ feet. When Rome created the Machine two years ago, it was the first series designed specifically for riding rails and park jumps with bigger feet. Armed with the Impact Plates™ and the new Impact Base, the 2008 Machine is better than ever for landing on rails and boxes all day. The extra width also delivers stable landings and a surfy feel in powder.
What the Machine thinks is shradical: skate-influenced snowboarding; parking-lot jib contests; smooth toeside take-offs; rental van quarterpipes; backcountry filming
