Rome SDS Ask the Rider ? – Live Interview with Eiki Helgason – Win Rome 390’s

Eiki Helgason is gearing up for the third installment of Rome SDS, Ask the Rider, a live interview that will go down on Twitter.  Eiki will be behind a computer screen answering all your questions in real time from 3pm to 5pm eastern time this Friday, August 7th.

Just by doing a little Google research on Eiki, there’s a lot you’ll be able to find out.  He’s a sick snowboarder.  He can definitely skate.  He also has a pretty amazing vowel to consonant ratio in his first name.  But there’s a good chance you’ll have other questions that these interviews and videos don’t touch on.  Are there any flips he has trouble with on a snowboard?  What kind of riding does he like to do on reverse camber boards?  How long has he been making his own music, and where can you download said music?

Ask_the_rider_EIKI

Really ask whatever you want, and as an added bonus, we’ll be hooking up one random question-tweeter with a new pair of 2010 Rome 390’s.

Here’s how it will work:

1 Log on to Twitter at the designated time
2. Submit your question in the “What Are You Doing?” box
3. End your question with a #Rometeam
4. Eiki will fire back his answers to your questions

So if you need some tips on your front boards, want to know Eiki’s go to tricks to win a game of skate, or are just looking for the best spot to get some food in Iceland, make sure you’re at a computer during the interview and get your questions answered.

3-5 Eastern
2-4 Central
1-3 Mountain
12-2 Pacific

REVIEW: Rome Graft 2010 ‘A ton of pop in the nose & tail’

It really comes down to whatever floats your board when you ride a Graft. Dropping pillow lines? Check. Dropping burly retaining walls to near-flat landing? Check. Dropping hammers off widow-makers? Check. Doubts? Re-check the footage in No Correct Way.

a ton of pop in the nose and tail

The Rome Graft 2010 is pure fun. Its twin tip design allows for happy shred times regular or switch. It has a ton of pop in the nose and tail for going big off any booter at your favourite hill.  The Graft is soft enough to be buttery and playful for pressing, and packs some torsional strength  to hold a strong edge at higher speeds.  If you like to ride the whole mountain be it park, rails, jumps, pow the Rome Graft 2010 delivers the goods.

Rome Snowboards

Rome Snowboards History
Rome Snowboard Design Syndicate (more commonly known as Rome SDS or simply Rome) is a relatively new snowboard manufacturer located in Waterbury, VT. It was founded in 2001 by Josh Reid and Paul Maravetz. Before this, the two worked together in marketing and product development at Burton.
Reid and Maravetz decided to team up with snowboarders like Jonaven Moore, whose stunts are popular amongst advanced snowboarders. Other well-known Rome snowboarders include Marie-France Roy, Marius Otterstad, Bjorn Leines, Max Legend, Casey Neefus and Jesse Fox.
Rome started out selling snowboards and accessories, and over the years has introduced new lines of merchandise such as bindings for the winter of 2005/2006. They introduced their first line of snowboard boots in the 2007/2008 season, and new to the 2008/2009 winter, Outerwear.
