Lib Tech Skate Banana Snowboard 152 - Red - 2012
Way back in 2006 there was a revolution brewing in the snowboard world. At that time there were as many brands, give or take, as there are now and every brand had a plethora of snowboards in their stables but every one of them had the same basic camber profile, a camber profile that had been based on a ski design. Lib Tech was at the forefront of the 2006 revolution, they debuted the Skate Banana and changed the profile of snowboarding forever by re-introducing reverse camber and inventing magne-traction. Now, some years on from that breakthrough year, there are as many different camber profiles as there are snowboard companies but the Skate Banana is the board that started the revolution and it remains largely unchanged from 2006. The Skate Banana features Lib Tech's BTX profile, a continuous rocker that starts from the centre point of the board and increases float, reduces the risk of catching an edge and makes buttering and spinning more intuitive and easier to land. The BTX profile also features Magne-traction, a serrated edge profile that give the rider 7 points of contact along the edge for greatly improved edge hold in icy or hard-packed snow. The Skate Banana has won so many awards since its launch that there are too many to list here, you can rest assured that it's a super fun board that can be ridden by any level of rider who is looking for a mid flexing board for freestyle and pow, it's not often you get to ride a revolution...!
