I bought the ride kink snowboard as a park specific board and am utterly dissappointed. I live in lake tahoe and snowboard everyday of the season pretty much so i am used to boards not making it through a whole year. Within five days riding park the “double thick edges” were cracked in three different spots! People who ride rails know that this occasionally happens from the force of metal on metal but three different cracks within a week is just ridiculous. When I took the board back to the dealer I bought from just a week earlier he told me that since i rode rails on it that they couldn’t do anything about it. “A rail destroyer” it says right on the package, but apparently your not supposed to hit rails with it. After that i decided to contact ride myself but for some reason you as a consumer can not contact ride with any warranty issues you have to go through your dealer which is also frustrating to me. So i continued to ride the kink hanging up on rails and boxes for the next month before it got so bad it was not even ridable anymore. Dont sell us a rail destroyer board and then tell us your not supposed to hit rails with it, and please get a phone # for your warranty department.
