Are you still wondering if rocker boards are for you? Do you ponder if it's OK to still be dropping 2Pac tracks on your iPod and enjoying crunking to Mike Jones on the chairlift whilst on a rocker board? You do understand that a rocker board has nothing to do with muscical preference, right? Of course, with all these boards named after your favorite produce such as Park Pickles and Skate Bananas, how could you not know what a rocker shape is. But what's stopping you from finally putting one these easy peasy nosepresser planks under your boots, are you scared to lose your pop? Well, you are not alone because a lot of riders out there are worried about losing pop on a rocker shape.
With the Elan Prodigy-R LTD you can be assured that you will not have to sacrifice your pop for press. The progressive V-shaped Jib Rocker profile retains a good amount of stiffness in the center while having much more aggressive rocker points on the nose and tail. This delivers enhanced board control and allows you to butter everything like you're on a weight-gain diet. You will be pressing the poop out every box and rail in sight but the radical reverse camber towards the nose and tail also serves to minimize the risk of catching an edge and getting your bell rung on landings and take-offs. This board also includes V2R sidewalls and Jib core technology....which just sound like they must do amazing things for your riding.
Now you can enjoy all this shred science but be warned, this board is not for the masses. At only 100 boards available per length these puppies are gonna be rarer than a white tiger looking for truffles in a field of four-leaf clovers during a solar eclipse while humming Yankee Doodle. So if you're serious about getting your jib on, then get on a Prodigy-R LTD as soon as they hit shops this fall.
Bruno Rivoire has been rocking the Prodigy-R LTD all last season and had this to say: “Every once in a while, the evolution of snowboarding makes a big leap forwards. The arrival of the V-shaped Jib Rocker technology as featured in the Prodigy-R LTD is a case in point. It’s improved the way I ride and increased my board control more than I could have ever imagined – all you need to do is try it out once and I guarantee you’ll be hooked for life!”
