For Freestyle use, you can go for a relatively short board: choose an 8” or 10” (20 or 25 cm) drop (i.e. a person who is 5'9” should choose a board between 154 & 149 cm in length).A smaller board makes rotations & tricks easier. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed & when landing jumps.The Park & Ride should be quite short.152cm > 5'6” to 5'10”153cm MID WIDE > 5'6” to 5'10”156cm: 5'7”-5'11” 158cm WIDE > 5'10” to 6'3”

The Park & Ride is true to its name, it's as good in parks as on- and off-piste. In snow parks, it is particularly suitable for jumps (tables) and inspires confidence on landing. Its standard camber gives it pop for jumps and stability at full speed. The rocker makes for good handling, as well as float performance in powdery snow. Its Powder Stance makes it enjoyable in the powder snow in the same way as if you were using a freeride board.

The shape of the snowboard is Twin Tip. The board's sidecuts are completely symmetrical between front and rear, providing perfect symmetry and centering of the board's features for riding in both directions in the same way. For even greater versatility, we have shifted the inserts by 20 mm, making the Park&Ride a ”false” twintip, just directional enough to ride in the park without issues.

All the advantages of both the standard camber (thanks to the board's elasticity, a standard camber serves as a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, edge-to-edge dynamism and recoil when coming out of turns) and the rocker (under constraint, the board's points of contact with the snow come closer together, making the board more manageable). The rocker elongates and raises the nose so that it can glide better over powder.

Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear. The flex of the Park&Ride is about 6/10, which is average and versatile. It is reliable in carved turns while also being forgiving of edge mistakes.

The torsion, i.e. the torsional stiffness of the board between the feet, is about 6/10 on the Park & Ride, which is fairly stiff for good hold in the curves, recovery coming out of a turn, and responsive edge transition. It is also flexible enough for some freestyle riding. It's the medium torsional stiffness that gives the Park & Ride good all-round handling without making it a jib board.

All Dreamscape by Decathlon snowboarding products are tested under the actual conditions of use for which they were designed. In the snow, in the cold, in all conditions you may come across when snowboarding whether in powder, in the park or on the piste. The design teams check that the program for which the product was conceived and developed perfectly matches its use in the field.

Dry edges at the end of the day to prevent rust. Ideally, wax every 5 outings.Summer storage: keep away from sunlight, bindings can be left on the board.
