If you're serious about freestyle but you like plenty of performance for slopestyle and a rocker shape for everything else, Salomon's new Gypsy snowboard will treat you better than the rest this season. The Gypsy is a completely new true twin tip design with a three-stage Equalizer sidecut that consistently and predictably rips groomed runs and stuff in the park. While some boards with rocker shapes sometimes earn a bad rep for excess and unsettling chatter at higher speeds, the Gypsy features durable, shock-absorbing Royal Rubber Rails along the stainless steel edges. These vibration-absorbing Royal Rubber Rails keep the Gypsy's rocker shape from throwing you off with bouncing shudders at high speeds. Royal Rubber Rails have double the width of protection over standard rubber rails, and this keeps the Gypsy from kinking or delaminating even after seasons of abuse. It's also the sort of reinforcement you demand if you're sliding along rails in the park. We also like the light and lively Salomon Popster Aspen Light core because it's female specific and it makes the Gypsy feel livelier and far more ollie-ready than some of the clunky freestyle twin shapes specific built for guys. If you're looking for some serious fun in the park and pipe this season, or you want a performance twin-tip for competition, Salomon's new Women's Gypsy snowboard is a freestyle ride that will keep you smiling during every turn down the mountain.
