What board does Rathy ride? In Fort Worth he was riding the 09 Monarch I believe. The next stop he was riding the 08 Monarch. And in Knoxville he was riding the Assault. Does he just switch up what he rides? Props to him for killing it on whatever board he rides!

most pics i have seen he is on the Assault. byerly boards only has two boards (for now... unless one wants to include the old legacy) interesting though.

he probably prefers one over the other with rails too if that has anything to do with it in addition

IM SURE AARON WILL BE GETTING A PRO MODEL SOON, SO IM SURE YOU WILL SEE HIM SWITCHING IT UP THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. THATS HOW YOU GET A FEEL FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN A PROTOTYPE. AS FAR AS RIDING LAST YEARS MODEL, HE PROBABLY BROKE THE 09 AND ONLY HAD AN 08 LAYING AROUND AND HYPERLITE COULDNT GET HIM A NEW 09 BEFORE THE STOP......

I haven't seen the pics, but are they Monarch shapes or a different shape with Monarch graphics? I have seen pro's who are going through the proto stages riding a new shape with some pretty random old graphics pressed on them. A few years back Adkison was riding his proto Transcend with Flame graphics pressed on the board. Just curious.

If you look close on this vid from last weekend it looks like the board is a monarch with assault graphics...the lines and shape of the board look more like a monarch to me...

you're right it looks a lot like a monarch i wonder if it is a proto that he is working on or if it is a straight up monarch pressed with a assault graphic
