Ride Society - 2010
Charging full speed at massive transitions is what the Ride Society was built for! Incredible response edge-to-edge and faultless edge hold will help advanced riders push the envelope. Definitely not for beginners or inexperienced intermediates, you should be confident down black runs and off jumps before you shortlist the society.
Manufacturer's Description:
The King od Pop! The Society combines new Pop Glass with exclusive Pop Rods for the most potent pop on our roster. Pairing those features with a lightweight Membrain top and 85A Slimewalls, creates the smoothest freestyle deck around. Don’t just take the word of Juuso Laivisto or Aki Hiraoka, see for yourself, this twin was built to go big.

Snowboard Review:
I’d been coerced by someone into thinking that Ride’s Society was a fun forgiving ride like the DH. Lets get something straight…it’s not! The Society is an extremely lively pro-line dominator. Faster than Mohammed Ali edge to edge and with an insanely snappy longitudinal flex, this board loves to be railed in every carve geometry you can think of. Blending long and short carves is sooo much fun on the Society. Switch the board rides extremely similarly due to the directional twin shape. On big kickers and up pipe walls the Society will be right at home - taking a high speed railed toe or heel edge carve into a spin and then blasting you into the air is what the Society is all about. From my experiences the Society is unforgiving on landings and shouldn’t be put within a hundred yards of a rail, being uber responsive, misaligning weight on a boardslide or on a landing will result in catching an edge. Really only suitable for advanced high speed pro-line park application!
