For Freestyle use, you can go for a relatively short board:choose a 20 or 25 cm drop (for example, a person who is 1.74m tall should choose a board between 154 and 149 cm in length)A smaller board makes rotations and tricks easierA bigger board will be more stable at high speed and when landing jumps.The Park & Ride should be quite shortThe 158 Wide size is very well-suited to well-built users.152cm=>1.67to1.77m153cm MID WIDE=>from1.68mto1.78m156cm:1m71-1m81158 cm WIDE => from 1m78 to 1m90

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 buoyancy 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 fts sidecuts are completely symmetrical between front and rear, providing perfect symmetry and centring of the board fts 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 Inchfalse Inch 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 medium 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 programme 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.Storing for the summer: keep away from sunlight, you can leave your bindings on the board.
