This board is all around a great board. Can be ridden from beginner to pro level. Very durable as well. I've gotten around 200 days on this board and the bottom sheet is flawless still. This board is Twin shape with traditional camber. It has an aggressive riding style but is also very forgiving. I would say this board is medium stiffness, but definitely one of the stiffer Ride freestyle boards. Top-sheet has a smooth glossy texture. I would say this is a great all around board. I ride this every day, for all mountain, park laps, street, jumping, and even pow riding.
Ideal for
- This boards pop is really great, perfect for cruising and jumping around the mountain.
- Hitting big park jumps, the shape and camber on it holds up really good while going fast and landing
- Hitting rails. This board breaks in. good, which makes pressing and other tricks on rails great.
Not ideal for
- Doesn't float in powder very well.
The Ride Benchwarmer is an aggressive twin board designed for hardpack performance in the park. The aggressive camber and asymmetric shaping provides unmatched edge hold and stability on both the toe and heel edges for park and halfpipe performance. The Benchwarmer is designed for aggressive park riders looking to push their freestyle progression.
Key Features:
- Carbon Slim Walls – Carbon walls decrease weight, increase damping and increase energy transfer for a comfortable, lively ride.
- Sintered Base – Sintered base slides faster and is more durable than a standard extruded base.
- Asymmetric Sidecut – Different radius sidecuts on heel and toe edges improve turning and edge hold.

Her answers to my questions included her own experiences with different topics and equipment, which was very effective. I appreciate her knowledge and ability to quickly address various topics in my search for new equipment. The entire Curated experience was really good. She knew which of their resources would help me. She gave me 2-5 choices of suitable options. She did a great job helping me.

Alex is the best!!! 💯🙌🏻
5 /5
I’m brand new to snowboarding (but have done other board sports🏄🏻♀️🛹) and know nothing about snowboarding! I’m so thankful for Alex because he was able to find me the perfect board, bindings and boots - all within my budget! He also was able to answer all my questions and get back to me fast! On top of which he checked on me after I received my products to ensure everything fit right and was to my liking which I really appreciate! 😊 Lastly he reminded me of my credits that I had from my first purchase and recommend multiple options for things I can spend it on that are easily forgotten about when your new to snowboarding (even though they’re kinda important - such as gloves, goggles, travel case, etc). Definitely will be recommending Alex to all my friends who are interested in getting into snowboarding and for other friends who are planning on changing snowboards but not sure what is best for them! And for sure will be a returning client - when it’s time to change my gear! 😊🏂

Ethan was fantastic
5 /5
I was doing my own research and it was exhausting to be honest. Saw a youtube video and decided to give this a try. Thank goodness I did. Ethan pointed me in the right direction and even recommended some things I was already interested in. Was able to purchase with confidence and that goes a long way. Good looking out Ethan

5 /5
I’ve spent the last several months researching and accumulating gear for the upcoming season— as a beginner, there is a lot of information out there, and choosing the right board and accessories can be daunting and confusing. Nate went above and beyond to not only make great recommendations for me but to give me lots of choices based on price point, style, goals, and more. He answered all of my questions and was always more than willing to chat with me about all things snowboard. Highly recommend Nate for all your snow sport needs!

Extremely helpful for first time customer!
5 /5
I just recently started snowboarding and finally committed to getting my own gears instead of renting. Nick was above and beyond every step of the way! He was able to provide the best recommendations in terms of both quality and skill level while being conscious of my budget. I ran into a bit of a hiccup when I tried price matching with curated and missed out on a deal unfortunately. However, Nick was ever persistent and did everything in his power to get me some store credits which eventually helped me get an even better deal than the one I tried to price-match originally! Highly highly recommend Nick for anyone who is looking to pick up some quality Snowboard gears that are best suited for you while being budget-friendly!!

Great experience

We’ve always used Jake in the past and we’re disappointed that he is no longer with the company. We were matched up with Garrett and he did not disappoint. Garrett was able to find the board my son wanted and price match to another company that was having a sale. Looking forward to working with him again.

Vince was amazing!!!
5 /5
I know nothing about snowboards and my son asked for a board for Christmas. We have been through a lot this year personally and just trying to make the holidays a bit more special for our son. The help I received from Vince was Incredible. He helped me put a board together that my son has been talking about. Well, it will surely be a surprise for him! Vince's knowledge was so helpful. He gets it! He knows what the younger ones want but helped me put it all together! Truly thankful!!! I highly recommend Vince!
