Details Primarily a jib and park board, the Nitro Optiysm Snowboard has an asymmetric heelside core (Powerwall), sidecut (Dual Degressive) and edge. This evens out the imbalance of a centered duck footed stance making switch tricks easier and more fluid. The heelside sidewall is actually made out of urethane, like a softer skateboard wheel, helping to decrease side wall damage from landing on rails. The Optisym is for all those snowboarders who enjoy friendly freestyle snowboarding, which means turning everything into a feature, even a groomed run or the sidehits of park landings, switching from airtime tricks to flat ground tricks within seconds. This freestyle snowboarding style is probably the most relatable and achievable, and this is the board to take you back to that optimistic place you found when you first started riding. Flex Rating (1 = soft, 10 = most responsive) 6 Urban Smooth and loose, these ultra-flexible boards can be tweaked any way you like, from rails to butter tricks, and they won't wash out on you.
