MONUMENT snowboards
2014-2015 COLLECTION
Turning our back to momentary trends, vapid graphic design and company branding,
we focus on the visual impact and technical superiority of our boards.
Welcome to the 2014-2015 MNMNT Snowboard collection.
Each year we curate an ever-growing pedigree of artists to
create unique and progressive imagery for our collection.
Turning our back to momentary trends, vapid graphic design
and company branding, we focus on the visual impact and
technical superiority of our boards. Everything we produce
is created hand in hand with a roster of emerging and
established artists in an attempt to infuse art into the world
around us. Our dedication to provide premium products
drives us to search for new and unique approaches in board
technologies and artistic creativity.
Founded in 2001, MNMNT was started and driven by a
collective of Mid-Atlantic artists and riders. Today, that
collective is worldwide, with many artists across the globe
contributing to our vision. While many companies have
changed their direction based on changing industry trends,
MNMNT has stayed true to its beginnings.
We are a product driven company first and foremost. With
years of snowboard industry experience we bring you tried
and true technology combined with unparalleled artistic
creativity. Our experience in designing and building boards
has brought us to the current collection, which represents
the best selections in materials and designs for the current
state of snowboarding.
This is our eighth season using renewable resources such
as bamboo in our cores and sidewalls, we are endeavoring
to do our part to reduce wasteful materials in our line of
boards moving forward to make our planet whiter in the
winter time.
Our boards are tested from the East Coast, to the Northwest,
to your backyard; where our boards go through rigorous
testing for performance and durability. Our products are
built with strong, renewable resources that help keep our
boards snappier longer, and a response that rivals no other.
We stand behind our product performance and are dedicated
to giving riders the best product we know.
Monument Snowboards brings forward-thinking technology and
high-quality materials to the mountain for a superior ride.
We love winter, and we want to do our part to protect our winter seasons. This is the eighth season we have taken steps
to reduce wasteful components by using natural, earth-friendly materials. Our E.S.P. materials use clean and renewable
resources such as Bamboo in the core and sidewalls. We also use a strong lightweight wood (X-Wood) that is grown close to
our factory, reducing the carbon footprint of our boards.
Bamboo can be re-grown in a short period of time from existing root systems, therefore eliminating ecosystem erosion.
Bamboo also possesses amazing strength characteristics that will give your board a more lively ride, super pop and snap,
lighter weight and more durability than most traditional woods used in snowboard construction.
The E.S.P. I Core is developed using one species of pure poplar wood that has proven flex,
pop, natural strength, and durability. This core is our all around core offered throughout the
park line-up.
Noted as our most popular core, E.S.P. II uses a mix of bamboo and poplar to reduce weight
and optimize board strength. Utilization of bamboo within this core series significantly
enhances the liveliness of the ride, while also increasing the board’s ability to dampen
without the use of additional materials. These bamboo laminates ultimately maintain the pop
and longevity of the board for our MNMNT riders.
The E.S.P. III core uses virtually every element of our core technology. A mix of X-Wood,
Poplar and Bamboo, with an overall percentage of X-Wood, this core was engineered
to significantly reduce weight while increasing the board’s strength and pop. X-Wood
provides our boards with a base that is comparable in strength to Popular but has weight
characteristics similar to a balsa wood. MNMNT has selected X-wood for the E.S.P III core to
maintain its high standard of durability. Over 70% of the core is compromised of the strong
but light X-Wood.
The E.S.P. ULTRA Core has been re-engineered to be lighter than ever before and contains our
Torsion Control Core. Horizontal laminates are placed under the binding area makes it soft
torsionally but torsionally tight under your feet. The core now contains 92% X-Wood, making
it one of the lightest boards out.
TTX TRIAXIAL FIBERGLASS
Our proven TTX glass configuration provides superior response for unparalleled control. The stitched weave method we utilize
ensures maximum benefits will be achieved as glass fibers are kept taut and straight (not bent and woven like you would find
in a cotton t-shirt). Weights of the fibers in each direction are selected and tested by our team to confirm fiber strength.
SIDEWALLS
Muffle Walls – This technology was developed to muffle out teeth chattering vibrations in icy conditions and at high speed,
as well as providing high energy transfer down the edge of the board to give you extra grip. These Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethyelene “UHMW” sidewalls will also resistant to sidewall impacts.
Terra Walls (Earth Science Project) – Bamboo Terra Walls are hands down the toughest sidewalls around, the natural tensile
fibers in Bamboo give your board incredible strength, will add incredible pop, and give you unparalleled energy and edge grip in
the iciest of conditions, all the while providing you with a chatter free ride.
BASES
Ultra Speed Base 4000 (Sintered) – This base is meant for charging jumps, pipes and jibs with little resistance. Developed
for achieving MACH speeds, the 4000 base uses the highest molecular weight sintered material available to create our most
durable wax absorption base. This ultimately provides our riders with superior performance glide in all snow conditions.
Speed Base 1900 (Extruded) – Bombproof and fast, this is the strongest extruded base available and will withstand a beating
yet keep you moving. Solid wax absorption and toughness make the perfect base for our entry-level boards.
Stone Grinding
This year we offer an additional finish to our line-up by implementing stone grinding on select Base 4000 lines. Used as an
alternative to sanding, stone grinding creates a finer base pattern that is smoother and faster. We’ve designed a pattern that
provides superior movement on powder but without limiting performance on those wet snow days.
WARRANTY Monument Snowboards warrants its products to be free of manufacturing defects for one year from the date of purchase as validated by a copy of
your original sales receipt. If your product is verified as having a valid warranty issue we will repair or replace the product free of charge. In the event of an exact

replacement parts as well. Original sales receipts are required for verification of eligibility. Please see website for full description of warranty. Enjoy the ride!
REGULAR CAMBER
We are huge fans of regular/traditional camber and use this profile in majority of our lineup. The camber distance (from the center of the board to the ground)
helps determine how lively and responsive your board is. As you apply pressure and flatten the board with your feet/weight, power is transferred towards the edges
creating responsive and livelier turns. Ollies are more powerful resulting in an amazing day on the hill. If you want edge control and responsiveness, you want
regular camber.
FLAT CAMBER
For a second year, we are offering our District series with true Flat Camber. This means zero camber throughout the board. This technology offers the rider to get
as close as possible to that skate feel. This camber profile is incredibly stable, quick reacting and balanced. Transitions are much smoother with better edge
interaction with the snow, and even more maneuverable than a regular rockered board. We designed these decks with the true park rider at heart. The flat surface
is very stable on rails and loads quickly and easily for max pop on any park feature.
PARK CAMBER
We added our “Park Camber” three seasons ago. This profile is a hybrid design fusing elements of reverse and regular camber. Specifically, it is reverse cambered
before the bindings, regular cambered under the bindings, then it goes flat/no camber to the contact points where it is reverse again.
Park Camber gives the board pop and responsiveness along with the benefits of reverse camber. This ultimately reduces your chances of catching an edge without
limiting your boards grip. By combining camber profiles, our Park Camber provides a ride that is perfect for killing the park, while also handling groomers and
creating solid float on a good pow day. When in the park, if you spin with a reverse cambered deck, you’ll wash out trying to land straight. Not with our Park
Camber! With choosing the E.S.P II wood combination and Park Camber design, the F.V.K series is potent on both flex and durability.
ERC CAMBER
Back for a third year, our Tragedy series uses the ERC profile design. ERC, or Early Rise Camber, is just what it claims to be. Flat camber from the tail to the front
binding, where a subtle reverse camber begins toward the nose, leading to a slightly lengthened kick nose. The Tragedy is an all mountain killer plain and simple.
The shortened tail, flat camber and early rise nose ensure that this board will float all day in deep snow. But at the same time, is plenty stable in the tail to land
big park jumps and jib smoothly.
REVERSE CAMBER
There are a lot of folks out there that believe reverse camber decks are for jibbing. We think it’s best for powder riding and for beginners.
With its concave shape, you don’t have to exert as much energy on deep pow days keeping your front leg up, saving your thighs for more pow runs. A reverse
cambered deck also allows you to ride powder with a smaller sized board. Since the tips are raised/concave, you don’t have to worry about the extra surface area
needed from a regular cambered deck to stay afloat easier.

The District series for a second year will be coming in a
true Flat Camber profile that was chosen with the park rider
in mind. The flat surface is very stable on rails and loads
quickly and easily for maximum pop on any park feature.
Transitions are much smoother due to better edge interaction
with the snow and provides better maneuverability than even
a regular rockered profile. The District is incredibly stable,
quick reacting and balanced.

Cost-effective, durable, jib-approved with the team-favored
flex/snap, the BlackBlack is the most popular ride in the
Monument Snowboards line-up. The E.S.P. I Core provides the
right level flex you need in a noodle-free jib board.
REGULAR CAMBER
The Full Wrap Rockwell 40 metal edges are slightly softer to
prevent major damage from disastrous impacts. Our Speed
1900 base makes it low maintenance and easy to repair. The
Muffle Walls (UMHW sidewalls) are super durable with a
higher resistance to sidewall impact, making this the ideal
jib board in your quiver of decks. Our engineers designed this
true twin deck with superb handling; makes selecting the
BlackBlack a no-brainer.

For our MNMNT 2014/15 collection, we have the pleasure of
introducing Loveless, an all mountain goddess with substantial
park capabilities. Specifically designed for a woman’s
perspective and style, we’ve blended the benefits of the
BlackBlack with a slightly softer flex and snap response better
suited for the smaller rider. Incorporating Bamboo Terra Walls
(E.S.P.) for maximum response and the Speed 1900 Base, the
Loveless offers a mountain killer for all conditions.

Combining both worlds of camber and reverse camber, the
F.V.K features our hybrid profile Park Camber.
What is Park Camber? Rockered between the bindings with
regular camber under the bindings, the board goes flat then
reverses again by the contact points. The F.V.K provides
more control to the tips and increases stability on those epic
landings as opposed to reverse cambered decks. Using ESP
II with its unique Bamboo laminates, the F.V.K has superior
durability to maintain the board’s flex as well as providing you
extra pop when needed. We developed this camber profile to
maximize the response you want while maintaining the positive
elements of a traditional camber board.

Eliminate the need for two decks with the F.V.K. The ultimate
park deck is here.

The Tragedy with ERC camber…
We again offer our limited series Tragedy for those riders with
a passion for powder and all mountain freeriding. The Tragedy
introduces the ERC camber design to the line-up, combining
elements of reverse camber into the nose to increase float
on powder days, while then transitioning the deck to a flat
camber. By keeping the base even to the tail, the Tragedy
offers greater stability over a full reverse cambered deck when
riding freshies or landing those epic bombs.

This twin directional has a stiffer tail and a set back stance
combined with our ESP III Core. This means a combination
of poplar, bamboo, and our special X-wood core gives you
a super light and responsive ride. The bamboo Terra Walls
along with the bamboo veneer topsheet makes this year’s
777 a stand-out free riding machine. Terra Walls strengthen
the board and increases responsiveness and pop when you
need it. The Carbon V pattern in the tail gives you the extra
support for bombing down the hill. If you want response, the
777 is your answer.

Big mountain riding. All terrain freestyle.
The Memento Mori, constructed with our ESP Ultra core and
newly developed Torsion Control profile provides for a truly
big mountain beast that is super light yet ultra responsive.
By vertically laminating Carbon fibers between the core
laminates and horizontal laminates underneath the binding
inserts, we’ve designed the Memento Mori to be a torsionally
soft ride that is torsionally stiff right at the feet. This
provides for a board that will handle any mountain detail
without any reaction decline. Combing these elements with
our Reverse Camber design, the Memento Mori is high-end
performance for epic mountain exploration.
