Signal Park - 2011

/images/brands/signal/logo/signal_logo.gif

Everbody knows about the Signal Park. It’s that board the jib technician at your local hill is riding. He uses it to butter into every rail, throw down blunts on near vertical hand rails and generally devastate the mini shred. Unfortunately he’s also the bloke sat in the lodge sulking when there’s fresh on the hill or waving his arms around like a man who needs straight-jacket when the snow is anything other than packed corduroy. A jib ninja’s dream, but a freerider’s worst nightmare.

Manufacturer's Description:

This best seller is built for today’s terrain parks and city streets. The Park is built to take a beating. The Magnum ABS sidewalls provide flexibility as well as high impact resistance. Durasurf sintered base material is harder to damage than extruded.

The Park Series is built with a “Park Profile” core, which is thinner on the nose and tail but has a standard thickness between your feet. This equals a softer nose and tail and a perfect flex for riding the park. The alternating grain structure of the Aspen core provides maximum strength and maximum pop.

The soft flex, mid-wide waist and radial side cut combine to make the Park one of the best boards for any riding level. Biaxial glass gives the Park its soft tip to tail flex and combined with the urethane top material, Exel PMU 4060, the Park also has a softer torsion flex. Again, the core is sized specifically for each board providing a perfect stance for the park shredder.

The PARK 150 also comes in a special colorway for Jake Olsen-Elm. This board has the same geometry that the standard PARK 150 has—just a special graphic option for the size he rides.

Recommended for rail riding.

2011 Signal Park Video Snowboard Review

This board has a scary house on the hill vibe to it and looks insane it kind of reminded me of Tim Burton’s Beetle Juice for some reason, and any board that reminds me of that twisted film is definitely a goodie! The Signal Park instantly felt like it was going to be a sick park board as soon as I strapped in and started bouncing, jibbing and bonking about. The flex was nice and soft which although the board is cambered made pressing and buttering a piece of cake. Switch riding was a piece of cake, in-fact if there is anybody out there who wants to get to grips with riding switch, the Park is definitely one of the easiest boards out there to initiate switch turns.

I love boards which are nice & light and the Signal Park is definitely one of those. However although the haunted board under my feet felt sweet on all the jib features it didn’t feel at all stable when straight lining down the bumpy steeps. To be fair I wouldn’t expect the150cm park stick to be good for that so I can’t say I was disappointed, the Signal Park is a really specific board designed for urban jib sessions and hiking sessions in your local park.

All in, I had loads of fun on the Park and I’m sure I’ll see a lot of indoor and small park rippers riding it this season. If you’re dedicated to learning technical jib tricks or want a board to take to your local handrails then the Park fits the bill, but I wouldn’t recommend it for big jumps and all mountain snowboarding.

Following Signal since I learned how to ride 3 years ago, I finally decided to pick up one of their boards. It was a no-brainer to purchase the Jake Colorway of the Park Series. First impression of the board made me love the graphics and the board, but after riding it, I fell even greater about the board.

Signal Park has ridiculous flex. That’s something you’ll feel right off the bat. It’s extremely light, which makes pulling back 3s off of some rollers really easy. The tech in the base makes this board the fastest park board I have ever ridden.

A lot of reviewers say this board is really jib-specific though. I usually do a lot of freeriding and try to wallride as much as I can and it rides great. I don’t jib much but I do jib every now and then. I’m more of the jump kind of guy. On the jumps doing switch double cork 7s clearing around 65-80 feet is a breeze with this board. Honestly, the flex doesn’t get that much in the way with stability. Landings are crisp and perfect. The only time I felt unstable with the board was when I was hitting the rollers over 40. This board isn’t meant for speed. But then again, what park board is?

The only downside would be the lack of pop. I feel no pop what so ever in this board. Also, doing some eurocarves and dynamic turning was felt a bit unstable, but that mught just be the edges. I wore them out a bit and they do need to be sharpened. I recommend this board for the park rats who also ride the mountain. I know they;ll fall in love with this board as soon as they feel it on their feet.————————————————— Setup: 150 cm 2011 Signal Park (Jake Colorway) 2010 Burton Freestyle Bindings Goofy-Footed +30Front -17Back. 21 inch stance
