2010 GNU Riders Choice BTX
|
|
From the manufacturer:
The award winning Banana Tech Magne-Traction Riders Choice snowboard by Gnu is ridden and designed by freestyle riders Zach Leach, Dennis Buonjourno, and Nate Ferrell. These guys test this board in all conditions all over the world every year. Focused on park freestyle, this medium firm flexing banana tech board 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 now your pow board. Also available in wides...perfect for the larger ripper who demands all terrain freestyle performance.

The medium flex is stiffer than most park-specific boards so the Rider's Choice is best for the all mountain rider who hits the park from time to time, loves pow, and only wants one board. Awesome performing all mountain snowboard.
The Magne-Traction makes the Rider's Choice superior in edge hold and control. Banana's reverse camber shape gives this board good float in pow.
