The 2027 Rome Slapstick is built for young riders who are ready to move beyond beginner equipment and start riding the entire mountain with confidence. Designed as Rome's next step after the Minishred, the Slapstick combines playful freestyle performance with all-mountain versatility, helping progressing riders carve harder, explore side hits, and take their first laps through the terrain park.
Built around Contact Camber, a Directional Twin shape, and Twin Diamond 3D, the Slapstick offers a forgiving ride that dramatically reduces edge catches while maintaining enough pop and edge hold to continue progressing. Rome's Bamboo HotRods provide lively energy without making the board feel overly stiff, while the durable Impact Base is built to withstand seasons of learning and growth.
