Hi Shay,
I used to borrow a friend board, until last year when I bought my first board the 2010 Fastplant 154, it was a breath of fresh air so much more fun, i have been offered a good price to sell it and i wanted something with a bit more pop but still be good for all mountain, e.g.The Rome mod rocker, very interested to see what you thought are comparing the 2010 fastplant v the 2011 Rome mod rocker. I have read your reviews on these boards, good stuff much appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
What size mod rocker do you recommend for me being 76kg, I have done about 3/4 months worth of riding all in all, i can’t decide on 153 or 156, the resort i ride has a very limited park so i will be riding the whole mountain in search of small natural hits attempting 180’s and 360’s max. presses, ollies and flatland stuff is about my limit for now, also luv to carve as fast as possible for a late starting thirty something.
Cheeeas Colin

Andrew, I haven’t ridden the reverb to compare but I know the evo is softer than the mod rocker. Mod rocker would definitely handle jumps and pow. It’s a stiffer freestyle board in my opinion so it won’t be as easy as the softer park boards.

Hey,
I was contemplating buying this board or the reverb rocker or possibly a never summer Evo. I ride mostly park, jumps and jibs as well as pow on every pow day I get. I was wondering how Pressing was on te mod rocker and if it would fit my riding style. I was thinking the 153, I’m 5’9 and 160 pounds. Thanks
Andrew.

It has better carving than last year because they gave it the quickrip sidecut that I believe was new to the agent and agent rocker last year!

Interesting review and nice hight end freestyle board from ROME.
I guess that a Mod Rocker 159 will be a good replacement for my 2009 Lando 160 BTX?
quickgrip at 159 should carve strong anough?
thanks

Fred, this board was ridden at a industry demo day for next year’s gear. It won’t be available to purchase till late summer/early fall.

is this a test board or is this your own and if so where did you buy it from?

Just got the catalog in front of me… the regular camber Mod now has the curved Hot Rods instead of straight ones; that’s what makes them more “loaded” than 2011 The description in my above comment is the orientation of the Hot Rods on the Rocker one Shay tests… because it is not rocker, pointing them in towards the center line gives it a little more forgiveness than the orientation on the rockered one.
