This is probably the most beautiful board I have ever puchased. Love the purple and green color combo, very freaky. I was intially worried about previous review regarding DOA. However, I received my board quicker than expected with zero issues. I will be saving this board to be used for some aggressive hard charging. Great amount of stiffness and camber that does not feel like a plank.
Rode great the first day! Took it to Colorado for the second time ever using it and the tail end snapped... I'm not taking this thing off big jumps or going over rock patches so I really don't know how it happened. Very disappointing..
When I received my board I noticed immediately that the edges were rusted in areas. Also the bottom of the board is very faded and looks dry. Just seems old and not fresh. I’ve bought last year models was haven’t had this problem before. Disappointed in this . Hope they reach back out to me. This should be fixed.
Gave to my son for Xmas and upon unboxing and unwrapping we noticed instantly the top layer was heavily damaged in the front. We were stuck with it as only riding option for Xmas at mount snow and it was fun but worries it will not even last the season.
Genius board, always ready to play, likes to attacks powder and becomes stiff for great speed!
This board absolutely rips. The 156 Freaker is the perfect mix of power and playfulness—super responsive edge-to-edge, with insane pop that makes every jump feel effortless. It charges hard at speed but still feels loose enough to get creative anywhere on the mountain.
Beautiful deck, cant wait to ride.
I ordered the board this season and it is great! Nice control, look and feel
Recommend!
Works great on the mountain, awesome in the park, and handles everything you throw at it.
Awesome
Purchased the 154 wide with Crux bindings. All I can say is Wow. The board is a little wider than I ride It rips turns and edge transfer feels no different than my Ravine Select. The board feels locked in and stable with no chattering or nose flapping when bombing down the mountain.
Geniales Board um die piste den ganzen tag runterzubrettern.
Anfangs fand ich es etwas zickig, aber nach den einfahren fand ich den Schwarzen Teufel als ein geniales Board für festen schnee.
By far after 33 years of shredding my favorite all around shred stick!!! This board kills it from the park in VT to the trees and steeps of Montanas Bridger Bowl!! I have become a Rome fanatic and buy the Freaker year after year🤘🏻
Perfect board
Very playful and yet stable at high speeds.
I am 1.80 m tall and weigh 85 kg. I opted for the 154W and am totally satisfied. It has a good pop and doesn't flutter at high speeds. The board is also light, making it easy to do 180s and 360s.
Board felt nice but in less than a month the top sheet on the edges peeled back and chipped and I snapped the board by just doing a tail butter over a roller and I haven't even had the board for a month
Great board. Lots of pop so be on your leg game on this one and don't think you're not riding this one without a bit of leg burn. Excellent directional deck.
Purchase proses was very easy and look forward to hitting the snow!!!
Great board got speed and stable and responsive
Boards top sheet came kinda messed up as if it fell were ever it was stored which sucked but they make glue for a reason but the board feels really nice and is smooth
Bought this board to replace a park board. This is a good 1. Can still ride it switch or regular and can get more speed going down the mountain.
Bought the 149 for my son along with a pair of 390 Bosses. It was time for him to get on a cambered board. He loves this thing. He’s laying trenches like his old man (I’m on a Ravine Select) and is riding fast which only a cambered board can deliver. From powder to park and everything in between, this board seems to have it. Shout out to the Angry Snowboarder for the recommendations.
This board absolutely shreds, park board yup, pow performance amazing but it truly comes to life in speed, edge and flex. You can lay this thing out with ease and super responsive for chop, glop and bumpy terrain. This is by far my favorite board in my over 30yrs of riding and being completely submersed in the industry. I'd say a must have but just try one and it will sell itself.
I have only a few days on this board but so far it has been a blast. My park board is a 154W and I wanted another board that could carve well and would hold up on the steeps. So, I bought the Freaker in 157W. I weigh 165 lbs, my boot size is 10.5, and I have M/L Rome Vice bindings mounted. This board holds an edge very well, and I can get very low in my carves without dragging toes or heels on the snow. Occasionally it takes some muscling around on steep, bumped up trails, but I knew this going in with the recommended weight range for 157W. The Freaker is very stable, predictable, and confidence inspiring at speed. You can feel the two hotrods at the tail of the board driving you out of each carve, and the softer nose helps when the trail gets choppy.
Got this board and way more response and easier at the park
The Rome Freaker is an all mountain slayer. Carves up groomers, tears it up in the tree, luv it in the bumps. Be a Freak!
I bought a board for my brother and he says he loves the response it gives. I tried it and I say it's a really good board. The base is the best I've ever seen
FREAKER
Super fun and snappy board that just wants to take off.
Was scratched upon delivery and was a little bummed about that but not the end of the world.
