Everything the whole family needs for snowboarding

In the winter of 1991, snowboarding's identity began taking shape. Kids from the east and midwest descended on the mountains of Colorado, bringing with them theier skate-focused style of riding. A powerful shift in snowboarding set in motion. Stumps, downed trees, natural features in the environment had all previously been irrelevant. Now, they were sought out and the "jib" era of riding was born. Joyride was one of the first to bring a true twin-shape board to the snow with iconic flower pot. With minor modifications, three decades later this board stands out among its competitors demonstrating just how ahead of the times it was in its infancy.

The 2025 Free Thinker is a special snowboard coming directly from the creative mind of your favourite snowboarders favourite snowboarder, Danny Davis. This is Danny's do it all board. You can see him riding it in the half pipe, through park laps, cruising around groomers, and jumping off everything in sight, and its all thanks to his creative outlook on the sport and has directly influenced the design of this snowboard. A powerful traditional camber profile give this board solid edge hold and instant response, as well as poppy ollies, powerful turns, and strong stability at speed. Think freely, approach the mountain differently, and ride whatever you want, however you want.

Shape / Profile: Twin Camber

Flex: 6.5/10 Mid - Stiff

Base: Sintered WFO

Details:

• All Mountain / Freestyle
• The original, tried and true camber type, and the advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision. Traditional camber is the most aggressive camber type, offering unmatched power, response, and edge control.
• This board flexes the same in the nose and tail, allowing you to ride, pop, and press the same in regular and switch.
• Constructed exactly the same tip to tail, this board is designed to provide consistent performance when riding in both switch and regular.
• Super Fly II 700G - This core features stronger and lighter woods targeted in specific areas, which provides more pop and strength while reducing weight.
• Dualzone EGD - The wood grain of the core is positioned along the heel and toe edge in two unbroken zones perpendicular to the rest of the core, which gives consistent edge hold and strength.
• 45° Carbon Highlights - A tip to tail carbon layer reduces weight and contains 45° angled fibres, fine tuning the torsional flex to make a more aggressive ride.
• Squeezebox consists of thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible sections profiled throughout the core. This enhances energy transfer and makes the board snappier and more stable.
• Standing for Wide F!#@ing Open, this base made from an extra absorbent, high density sintered material that is infused with a specially formulated wax, resulting in an ultra durable base that rides Wide F!#@ing Open.
• The Burton Channel system forgoes your traditional 4-screw mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width, and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.
• Infinite Ride - Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.
• The tip and tail of this board taper out at the points, reducing swing weight and promoting mobility.
• Edges that extend out slightly underneath your bindings for enhanced edge hold on hardpack and ice.
• Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.

The Algorhythm quickly turned into a team and staff favorite at Ride. The versatility of this shape is unmatched. This high-end all-mountain Directional Twin Standard Camber stick is designed to do everything. From park jumps to pow lines to high-speed groomers, this board won't disappoint. The Algorhythm will feel comfortable and familiar to snowboarders looking to up their game. Quadratic Sidecut improves turn initiation/exit and edge grip. A Performance Core combines Aspen, Bamboo, and Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light while Carbon Array 5 provides extra pop without adding stiffness. This high-end all-mountain directional twin is far superior to some one-trick pony freestyle snowboard.

Terrian: All Mountain / Freestyle

Board Shape: Directional Twin

Flex: 5/10

Camber: Directional Twin Standard Camber – A directional twin shape with a hybrid profile that has more camber than rocker.

Base: Stone Ground Sintered Base – High-end sintered 400 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder, and faster than other extruded bases.

Core: Performance Core – High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light. Double Impact Plates.

Sidewalls: Carbon Slimewalls – This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewalls material and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. This exclusive tech enhances the charging rider's experience as Ride has moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.

Laminates: Carbon Array 5 – This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control.

Inserts: 2x4

The 2024 K2 Afterblack is a premium freestyle snowboard that specializes in night missions, wall rides, huge airs, and promises to come through in the clutch to give you the confidence to give it one more go.  Designed for the intermediate-to-expert level snowboarder, the Afterblack is a mid-flexing true-twin with a Combination Camber Profile - with camber in between the bindings and rocker on the outside of the inserts - giving it a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature. Its tri-blend BAP Core blends bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods together to deliver snap and rebound while damping vibration on the harshest landings. Wrapping the core, tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass and Carbon DarkWeb gives the Afterblack stability and edge control for popping off lips and sending big side hits, and the fast and durable Sintered 4000 base soaks up wax to ensure you’ll have enough speed to send you well past the knuckle and down to the sweet spot in the landing.

Camber: Twin Combination Camber – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.

Base: Sintered 4000 Base – Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

Core: BAP Core – K2 has blended three species of renewable timber to assemble a core that’s strong, lightweight, and designed to enhance dampening without the addition of other materials.

Carbon DarkWeb – A carbon fiber lay-up that aids in energy transfer and stability, speeding up edge-to-edge transitions and keeping you in control in times of need.

Triaxial Glass – A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The fibers three layers of fibers are woven at 45°, 45°, and 0°. This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally.
