Signal’s own Three-Stage Park RoBase Pricecker was introduced as a late release in 2008. Its unique design offers the latest technology for more fluid control under a variety of shred circumstances, making even the most technical tricks feel effortlessly smooth.

You want this board! The Park Rockers Stage One is continuous contact. This creates a level board through the bindings. It allows you to hold an edge without catching one. Stage One acts as a small board when you stand flat over this section. The Park Rockers Stage Two rolls up ten degrees into Stage Three, the ‘flat spot’. Stage Two creates a pivot point when transferring from the level— or flat—area between the bindings and the ‘flat spot’ of Stage Three. Stage Two also acts as a secondary contact point when you are carving. These stages on the Park Rocker are engineered to give you more confidence when hitting rails and boxes. You will sit on presses like never before!

The Park Rocker has an aspen core, an Exel PMU 4060 urethane top, an IS4400 extruded base and new this year, triaxial glass to give it more pop. This year, the Rocker comes in five sizes— a 148, 152, 154, 156 and 158— and three color ways—black, red and alpine white. The bases rotate the three color combinations of red, white and black.

Rock on!

Silk Screened Top sheet
Silk screening is a process of layering color on top of color, one coat at a time. We screen the art on the underside of our clear top sheets. This protects the ink from any scratching.  We separate the layers of colors, mix the inks and pull one color at a time. This process allows us to leave windows open to the core, create one-of-a-kind color ways, and produce graphics with rich, saturated color.

Extruded Base
Extruded base material allows high-speeds yet requires only minimum maintenance and it’s easier to mend than sintered base material. Its pores are more open and require less than sintered material.

Rocker Technology
Rocker is a 3-Stage Technology. Stage One is continuous contact. This creates a level board through the bindings. It allows you to hold an edge without catching one. Stage Two acts as a small board when you stand flat over this section. Stage Two rolls up 10 degrees into Stage Three, the 'flat spot'. Stage Two creates a pivot point when transferring from the level—or flat— area between the bindings and the 'flat spot' of Stage Three. Stage Two also acts a secondary contact point when you are carving.

Directional with Dual-Independant side cut
The sidecut of your board is measured as a radius in centimeters. It is an important part of your board's geometry that affects how your board turns. The larger the radius—or number—the more shallow of a sidecut your board has. Conversely, the smaller the radius of your board, the deeper the sidecut is and, therefore the more aggresive it will initiate a turn. A board can be directional based on a few things in its geometry. It can be directional if it has an off-centered sidecut or a Dual Independent Sidecut. It can also be directional if its inserts are back of center. As well, a board can also be directional if it has a different sized nose and tail length or width. Essentially, a directional board is designed—although not limited to—go in one direction. The sidecut is divided into two radii that are centered on the inserts and meet at the waist. The deeper sidecut sits towards the tail and automatically follows through once the larger sidecut is engaged.

Triaxail Glass
Different glass weaves will enhance the flex, stability and durability of your ride. There are different weights of fiberglass and throughout Signal's board lines they find the best combination and grade of Biaxle and Triaxle glass weaves dependent on specific terrain. In addition, Carbon or Kevlar stringers may be added on the top or bottom of a glass weave to add more pop or torsional flex to a particular model. Anyone in the world can get these great materials, but it is how they are utilized in the lay up process that makes a board ride the way it does. And having our own factory gives us the home court advantage!

Park Board
These boards have been specifically built for the park. They have softer flexing lighter and less dense cores. They are the twin boards build to bounce around the park with lots of pop and softer tips and tails.

Park Profile
The Park Profile is thinner on the nose and tail but a standard thickness between your feet. This equals a softer nose and tail and provides a perfect flex for riding the park.

Poplar Core
Signal's wood comes from the Great Lakes area. In this region, wood grows slow due to the cold weather. Because of this, the trees grow with a very tight grain and that gives the trees their strength. They bring this Great Lakes Poplar and Aspen to the Core Shop where they glue the wood into blocks, alternating the grains within the block to give each core even more strength. Any finger joint—shorter pieces of wood that are glued together— in a core creates a stress concentration point. Signal uses only full-length pieces of wood. There are no finger joints in their cores.

• Snowboard Specs - What Do All Those Numbers Mean?
  Overall Length
  
  Overall length is the full length of the snowboard from tip to tail measured in centimeters (cm).  When you hear that a board is a 155 or '55, it simply means that the overall length of the board is 155 cm.
  
  Running Length
  
  Running length is the length of the snowboard that is actually in contact with the snow. This is measured as a straight line from the nose contact point (where the flat base ends and the nose begins) to the tail contact point. A freestyle board may have a longer running length than a freeride board of the same overall length, this is because the freeride board has a longer nose length.
  
  Effective Edge
  
  The effective edge measures the length of edge between the nose and tail of the board that is in contact with the snow. It is similar to running length, but measured along the curved edge rather than in a straight line, making it a slightly higher number.
  
  Sidecut Radius
  
  Imagine a giant circle overlapping the edge of the snowboard. Depending on the radius of the circle, the sidecut will be tighter or more mellow. A higher number is typically less aggressive and more stable, while a smaller radius is more performance driven. Some companies have 'progressive' sidecuts which is a combination of more than one radius. This allows the board to have the characteristics of one radius to initiate the turn and another radius to complete the turn.
  
  
  Waist Width
  
  The waist width is the width of the snowboard at its most narrow point. It is basically the width at the middle of the board.
  
  Stance Width
  
  The stance width refers to the range of stances available on a particular snowboard. Here are some tips for determining your stance.
  
  Snowboard Insert Patterns
  
  Insert patterns can be (1) a slider system, (2) a proprietary system such as the Burton 3-hole pattern, (3) a 4x2 pattern or (4) a 4x4 pattern.
  
  The slider system provides nearly unlimited stance options. The bindings are mounted to a track system and can be slid forward or backward to dial in the perfect stance width.
  
  Burton uses its own 3-hole pattern. In the past, you had to use Burton bindings, but today many binding companies provide a disc that is compatible with the Burton insert pattern.
  
  4x4 was the standard for several years with 4x2 becoming more common. They both use a 4-hole disc, but the 4x2 pattern offers more stance options because the inserts are closer together.
  
• Freeride vs. Freestyle - What's the difference?
  It is important to note that while each style is unique, there is overlap between each style, and often no visible difference. The most common styles today are freeride, freestyle, and freecarve/race.
  
  Freeride
  
  The freeride style is the most common and easily accessible style of snowboarding. It involves, in the most simple terms, riding down any terrain available. This could include the beginner's first time down the bunny slope, or riding down a 60° slope in the backcountry. All the while freeriders may include aerial tricks and jib tricks borrowed from freestyle, utilizing whatever natural terrain they may encounter.
  
  The freeride equipment usually used is a soft boot with a directional twin snowboard. Since the freeride style may encounter many different types of snow conditions, from ice to deep powder, the freeride snowboard is usually longer and has stiffer overall flex. A good example of a binding stance used is the forward stance with both leading and trailing feet in positive degree of arc ranges e.g. +9°/+15°.
  
  Freestyle
  
  This style incorporates the rider with man-made terrain features such as rails, boxes, handrails, jumps, half pipes, quarter pipes and a myriad of other features. The intent of freestyle is to use these terrain features to perform a number of aerial or jib tricks.
  
  The equipment used in freestyle is usually a soft boot with a twin tipped board, though freeride equipment is often used successfully. The most common binding stance used in freestyle is called "duck foot" which the trailing foot has a negative degree of arc setup while the leading foot is in the positive range i.e. -9°/+12°. Freestyle riders who specialize in jibbing often use boards that are shorter than usual, ones that have additional flex and ones that have filed down edges between both feet.
  
  The majority of snowboard competitions concern this style of snowboarding.
  
  Freecarve / Race
  
  This often overlooked style of snowboarding focuses on carving and racing. Sometimes called alpine snowboarding, or the 'euro-carve', freecarving takes place on hard-pack or groomed runs and focuses on the ultimate carving turn. Little or no jumping takes place in this discipline. Freecarve equipment is a hard boot and plate binding system with a true directional snowboard that is usually very stiff and narrow to facilitate fast and responsive turns.
