Akomplice continues to use its voice to issue the rallying cry of the global climate crisis. This time, they’re doing so in partnership with snowboarding powerhouse and former collaborators, Ride Snowboards. The graphics paint a stark picture of the world’s monuments besieged by water from glacial melt, superstorms, and rising sea levels. The art piece depicting the snowboard encased in a block of ice serves as a metaphor for seeing the crisis clearly, but time to act melting away. There will be a live installation of the art piece, created by ice sculptor Thomas Barlow, exhibited in Aspen, CO. The piece will be left there to melt, to further make the collaborators’ point. Adorned on top of the board is a message that states the collection’s purpose succinctly. The shape of the Ride Psychocandy Snowboard is based on the innovative WARPIG, so the board is designed to be ridden 3 to 6 cms shorter than your standard board and approaches the mountain with the same 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 enhance response and stability. The PSYCHOCANDY is a directional all-mountain board designed to ride like a WARPIG so you can tackle any and all terrain the mountain has to offer, be it park, pipe, pow or slush. Board graphics vary by size.
