Rome Blackjack 2018
The 2018 Rome Snowboards collection is now available and this overview will help you to categorize their new line-up.
There are a number of new boards in Rome’s line-up with a couple of others getting the drop.
“The Rome Blackjack is a fun all-mountain snowboard, and certainly comes in a good price. With this year’s absence of the Rome Marshal, which boasted a similar design, the Blackjack’ll make a fine (albeit less techy) alternative. “The sidecut does do a good job of compensating for the flat profile when you want a bit of extra edge hold”. BlackJack game rules. Most people should be familiar with the concept of the game BlackJack. But if not, here is a quick overview. Essentially, players are dealt a starting hand of 2 cards with the hopes of getting to the magical number of 21, or to get as close to 21 as possible.

So that’s Rome’s boards for 2018. My categorizations are a bit different to Rome’s but this is where I see these boards fitting.
There have been a few changes in the line-up but overall, there’s still a feel of freestyle among most of their boards until you get to the powder end of things.
