Rossignol is bringing many new innovations the way of snowboarding, and one of them is the Rossignol Mini. At first you’d think it’s a kid’s board, but at second glance it’s much wider and stiffer. This mini is a mere 121cm, but built for adults.

This is probably the most fun I have ever had on a snowboard. The size of the mini allows you to do so many things, especially if you’re a creative freestyle rider. Spinning is the key thing you can do on this board, it’s so easy to whip around on snow or in air. One thing I couldn’t believe was how well this board performed on rails.

The size allows you to lock-in your boardslides easily along while rotating on rails or boxes; this is one wicked jib board. I was totally stoked on how well it held an edge on groomers. Be careful in the slushy spring riding though, you’ll spend your day flying head over heels because of how short the nose and tail is. If your looking for something new and fun, go grab some old bindings and play around with the mini, its amazing just how much fun you can have on this thing.

These retail for about $199, but can be found for much cheaper. Next time you see a mini now you will know its full potential.  Anyone else out there ride a mini?
