The Rider’s Choice wins a 2012 TWS Good Wood Award

9.1.11 10:29 AM

New Riders Choice Pickle Tech. Asymmetric sidecuts and construction to balance the different turning mechanics required for heelside and toe side turns. Your body is asymmetric your snowboard should be asymmetric. Rip harder and have more fun balanced through Asymmetry! The award winning Banana Technology Magne-Traction Riders Choice is ridden and designed by freestyle riders Zach Leach and Nate Farrell and crew. These guys test this board in all conditions all over the world every year and have chosen C2 BTX camber banana combo as their favorite geometry. The camber gives the board pop, end-to-end stability for big landings, critical lines and aggressive riders. The Banana between the feet makes for great carving on hardpack and ice and easy float in powder and broken, variable snow conditions. Focused on Park Freestyle, this medium firm flexing C2 BTX also rips the entire mountain. You can ride Banana Tech about 3cm shorter than your regular board even in pow because they float so well. Your jib board is your pow board, your pow board is your park board. Handmade by snowboarders at Mervin MFG in the

Good Wood: GNU Park Pickle

The GNU Park Pickle is a Good Wood Winner!

Perfectly balanced for the human form. Normally, leveraging heelside turns takes more effort than toe turns, which throws your body off balance. The Park Pickle, however, uses an ergonomic, asymmetrical shape with a deeper sidecut on the heelside edge to balance things out. Its easy-riding Banana Technology and serrated Magne-traction edges help make the ride even plusher. Forward, switch, sideways, upside down-however you shred, you’re in harmony on this pickle.
Sizes: 147, 150, 153, 156, 156W, 159W

“I loved this thing. It had the best edge control. Super fun jib board and small jump board. Ride it a size smaller.” ~Tester Feedback

Some wood core cacka!
In 2008 the world’s fastest growing trees in Gnu’s Altered Genetic forest produced an exceptional crop as a perfect combination of a rich bat guano, plenty of sunshine and warm afternoon rains during the growing season created beautiful long fibered lightweight poppy wood that we call “nature’s fiberglass.” This select crop has been carefully seasoned built into cores and is the light lively heart of our 2010 Gnu snowboards.
