More new Board talk. the "Gnu Park Pickle"




Well thanks again to Tracy anderson who writes for EXPN.com for the info on this new Board from Mervin Mfg. and Gnu. The trick shit here is a deeper sidecut on the heelside so less leverage is required to make the turn. It also cruises with Banana Technology, which I know about first hand. I have been riding Lib Tech's Skate Banana for a while now and don't think I will ever go back to a cambered Board. As Mervin says "the middle of your Board is brought to life and the ends become more catch free." I've riden this Board in all conditions and am amazed at the performance. In the powder it tends to want to ride up, instead of submarining. Flip switch with ease in the Pow. On the ice the magna-traction kicks in to give you that under the feet feel and control. At speed it digs in and rolls with the terrain.


To wrap it up, if you are looking at new Boards give reverse camber a demo. I think you'll be Stoked!

Keep it Extreme!!!
