Good deal for Rome Anthem Snowboard! Anyone know?

[TheFuteballer]

Alrite so I decided against buying a snowboard back when the snowboard show was on but now my brother just invited me to come to his place in Cali and go to the mountains there for a week. So now I REALLY need a new board!

Also I'm an intermediate but steadily going pro (boarding for 6/7 years now), and I spent most time just freeriding although I do like to hit a few kickers and get some big air. I won't be spending much time on rails. DO you guys have any other recomendations?

EDIT: I've decided on the Rome Anthem although it is very expensive. Anyone know of any deals for these boards or if any sales are going to come up soon?

Get a stiff board, the air is good for that.

Problem with boards on ebay is that the shipping cost is usually around the $80-100 mark

Ride Prophet, Timeless, No.4
Burton Custom X, T6, Vapour
Rome Anthem
Salomon Special

Those are all good boards for you.

Ride Timeless, Rome Anthem, Endeavor Paavo, Atomic Cold Smoke, Atomic Alibi, Never Summer Premier.

thanks for the suggestions.. only problem is half those boards aren't made under 154 cm which is what I need unfortunetly

anyone know of any deals for the Rome Anthem?

Deals are going to be hard to come by for that board mostly because it's a high end board and only a few specialty stores stock it. Sporting Life, Boardsports are the two places I'd check out...

Great pick though, you'll love it.

yeah I hope so, the reviews are awesome about it so why not :)

I'm very restless so I called both sporting life and board zone where i got prices at around $680.. so I just bought it off ebay.. with shipping it came to $530.. i'd say good deal :)

There's also Skiis & Bikes (http://www.skiisandbiikes.com/)... I think they have it.

I was at the swap this weekend @ Boardsports and picked up a pair of Burton Rulers after I sold some of my stuff... they had package prices without packages! My Rulers ended up to just under $150 tax in... but I got rid of a bunch of stuff that I don't need anymore! w00t!

nice.. i have the burton rulers too! they're pretty decent boots. they'll keep you warm but they're also ppretty stiff compared to forum boots (i really want those lol)

i think i got them the same price at the snowboard show!

i saw a used 06 rome anthem w/ 06 rome 390s at the boardswap at boardsports on the weekend.... it was in pretty good shape....they were asking for 475

hope you don't get dinged by customs and handling fees when it crosses the border...

Love the new lacing system they had... better then the BOA system... just for the whole adjustability thing... once I got use to it.. it was a breeze... I really can't wait.... I'm jonesing to get my ride on!

hahah don't worry I got it shipped to my brothers address in California.. saved $30 in shipping + like $100 in customs charges :)

I'll be going there for my ski trip anyways so it worked out for the better
