Psychocandy is one graphic for all sizes
WHY: This is RIDE’s 30th year in business, we want to continue to celebrate our heritage by releasing products that tie back to this history. Arguably the most iconic RIDE graphics over the years were the unauthorized Looney Tunes models. The graphics were not authorized by Looney Tunes and resulted in a lawsuit and recall/stop production on these models. You know the ones.
-Collectors are still trying to get their hands on the full set, almost 30 years after the initial release.
-We think it’s funny that RIDE came from this scrappy brand doing everything to survive and has now become a legitimate business with the resources to license official Looney Tunes graphics. Taking it full circle.
RIDE has been asked to re-release Looney Tunes graphics many times over the years. Well, here they are. Get them while they’re hot, collectors will be on the phones trying to get every board in this collection before they disappear.
COPY: If you know the history of the brand, you know that RIDE is no stranger to the classic “cease and desist”. In the early 90’s we got one from a very prominent cartoon animation company.
We’re all grown up now and have an official partnership with Warner Brothers to (legally) bring Looney Tunes RIDE boards to the people. Limited quantities available tomorrow (2/9) at select retailers and on our site at 9am PST. #RIDE30Year
When we say extremely limited, we’re not joking. There are less of these than there were of the Russell x Virgil Algorhythm.
The shape is based on the innovative WARPIG, so the board is designed to be ridden 3-6cm shorter than your standard board and tackles the mountain with the same ideological attitude that the WARPIG is known for. A tapered bi-radial sidecut maximizes grip and allows the PSYCHOCANDY to maintain speed in all conditions. Carbon Slimewalls® improve response and stability. The PSYCHOCANDY is an all-mountain directional board designed to ride like a WARPIG so you can tackle any terrain the mountain has to offer, whether park, pipe, pow or slush.
BI-RADIAL SIDE CUT:
A double sidecut that allows the width underfoot of a wide board within the tip/tail width of a standard size. This design provides improved leverage during landings, cornering grip and stability on a flat base.
SINTERED BASE:
Premium sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
WMNS PERFORMANCE™ CORE:
Specially formulated for the women's line, this core combines lightweight Paulownia wood spars with high-strength aspen. Available on all women's boards.
CARBON SLIMWALLS®:
This totally unique sidewall combines strategically placed layers of Slimewalls® material and carbon at the inserts to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the rear inserts at the contact points in the tail on a twin. directional board. This proprietary technology enhances the load pilot experience as we moved the carbon construction to the outer edge for better stability and response.
ROLL-IN CONSTRUCTION:
Unique 3D structure built around our Slimewall® urethane sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping and reduce weight.
CARBON ARRAY LAMINATES:
This power distribution technology provides full board control in every position slot. The wide carbon spars placed at the binding area collect data from any support width and from any pressure angle. Rider input is then channeled to the opposite contact point for maximum board control. Offered in two technology levels, 3 and 5.
CARBON-INFUSED FIBERGLASS:
90° carbon fibers sewn into the glass. Extra pop and response, without adding extra stiffness.
LAMINATED IMPACT PLATES:
Added under each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breakage where it matters most. Offered in two levels, single and double.
