The 2026 Nitro Cheap Thrills screams unlimited park laps that any park rat would love to do their entire season on. This pro caliber park board turns anything in your sight into your own personal terrain park thanks to the versatile mid flex and twin, updated Cam Out profile, giving a stable yet forgiving feel underfoot, while the Whiplash Core profile is snappy and responsive enough to feel solid as you transfer from feature to feature. Don't break the bank, just go do some nose and tail presses and have fun with the Nitro Cheap Thrills.
Board Type: Freestyle
Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.
Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Ability Level: Beginner - Intermediate
A beginner snowboard is softer, lighter, and more stable, making it easier to control and manoeuvre while learning basic skills like turning and stopping.
Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.
Shape: Twin
Exactly the same whether you're riding switch or regular, this allows you to push your switch riding and land comfortably regardless of which way you're facing.
Camber Type: Cam-Out Camber
Cam-out camber is basically positive camber with earlier and smoother transition zones in the tip and tail. This gives the board a lower rise in the centre, resulting in a fun and responsive ride with easier turn initiation and more forgiveness, giving you the benefits of camber without the aggression.
Profile: Whiplash Core Profile
The Whiplash Core Profile reduces thickness of the board between the inserts while adding more outside your feet. This gives maximum ollie power, while still maintaining flex.
Width: Standard, Wide
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.
Sidecut: Radial
A single radius along the length of the board makes this sidecut extremely versatile and predictable.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Laminate: Bi-Lite Laminates
Bi-Lite Laminates have fibres running in two directions, providing strength, power, and a forgiving board feel.
Core: PowerCore ll
A performance driven core with tip to tail Poplar wood and additional Beech Wood stringers. The result: Unmatched strength, smooth response, and a tonne of snap.
Sidewall: Ureshred Sidewall
By using the same materials as skateboard wheels and bushings, the polyurethane sidewalls are highly resistant to impact and damage while being damp enough to keep you comfortable underfoot.
Base: Sintered Extruded FH Base
A base material compound that is fast, absorbent and super resistant to abrasions.
Edges: Recycled Steel Edge
By using recycled steel you get an eco-friendly and strong edge.
