Jib Rocker

Jib Rocker Snowboards Technology

PARK & RAIL AUTHORITY

Jib Rocker is a versatile twin Rocker built to dominate the park. Just enough rise in the tip and tail to create a loose, buttery feel on all types of terrain. Contact points stay well off the snow until engaged – eliminating edge hook while maintaining fun pop.

Lightweight & Strong

Hybritaper takes our Hybritech Construction, and tapers out the core at the tip and tail to reduce the swing weight. We blend the tips from a cap into a thin sandwich removing material where you don’t need it.

    Comments about K2 Snowboarding Parkstar:

    Absolutely love this board, if you're considering it, buy it. Rides so nice in all kinds of conditions. I rode in deep pow, park, ice and packed pow and it was truly a treat. Pop was great, held lines really well and was super responsive. I was a little hesitant to buy it because of the name and I am more of an all mountain type dude. Honestly i am totally happy with how it handled everything. The only thing i did change was setting back my bindings off center for a 2+ foot pow day. But other than that I haven't needed to do anything different. Wish it wouldnt chip and it would be the only board i would ever need to buy!

          Comments about K2 Snowboarding Parkstar:

          I purchased this board after owning the WWW rocker. I loved the weapon but I wanted something that was a little stiffer for larger jumps. Before I get to the cons I would like to point out that I absolutely love this board. The flex, and weight are perfect. What is upsetting is the fact that after every day of riding park I find a new dent, chip or split in/on the board. The second day of riding this board the top sheet on the nose split and peeled 6 inches inward.
          I still ride and would recommend this board. K2-Possible to fix the weakness of this board?

            This board is amazing, bottom line. Incredible flex and just the right amount of pop. I was reluctant to getting a park board from k2, but this board wiped away those thoughts. Extremely light and playfully flexy, this is a park board dream. Anyone wanting to go for a new park board will be happy with this choice. I know I'll be sticking with k2 for a while now.

            Great board all-around.

            I'm 105kg and i have a 157 2010 parkstar .

            This board is outstanding from every point of view.
            When you need it to pop it pops , when you need it to corner at fast speeds it does .
            It just simply unbelievable , not to mention how lightweight it is .. it's just sick .

            I do have to agree that it chips quite easily . i got run over by a skier when standing still and the back of the board chiped quite easily ( this happened to me with my previous boards cause ppl around here are quite bad mannered and the boards did not chip so easily )
