Expert reviews 1
The Rome Artifact is a park/jib board kept on traditional camber but made soft so presses come easily. Fast edge transitions and strong pop are its strengths, and it's forgiving within the park. Conversely it's clearly weak at speed, in carving and in powder, so using it as a park-only board is the right call.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
One of the few traditional positive camber boards left in the jib park category. Despite the camber, the flex is kept soft so presses and butters go in easily.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A soft-to-medium flex at 4 out of 10. It has a soft, playful, buttery feel while the pop that comes from camber stays fully alive.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Forgiving enough for intermediates to approach, and it accommodates advanced riders building up tricks in the park too.
