hard to say anything bad about lib, they make nice stuff.
I am a little biased on the Salomon stuff but it really is the best stuff I have ever ridden....and I get smokin deals on it. I wouldn't ride it if it wasn't super good....I would rather pay retail for a good board then settle for something mediocre because I got a a deal on it. I do have 3 of them currently and I have had many in the past. They are fast, snappy, very durable, very very light. They do it all with steez....IMO.
There are so many great boards out there, you just gotta go with something you likey. I had a Ride Timeless 165 that was such a great board. Fast, floaty and you could huck a 540/720 on it like a small board. I would still have it if I hadn't smacked it on a log and bent the rail. That board was really fast and just ate up the chop. I think I rode it for 4 seasons because it never gave up. I gave it to one of my employees and he thinks it's the best thing ever....7 years old now.
K2, Ride, Lib, Salomon....and countless others
Stay away from lamar, and super cheap deals.
Salomon is sub-par.
Seriously....when is the last time you set foot on a brand new snowboard, as in the best snowboarding has to offer?
Start reading some reviews.
Apart from everything else, the Lib Tech Skate Bananas are SAFER!
Yes! SAFER! You are less likely to catch an edge and scorpion out on a Skate Banana than any other board on the market.
Oh....and yeah, they are good for every type of snowboarding...
....hence the nickname: "quiver killer".
Everything you do on a snowboard is going to be easier, funner, and safer on the Skate Banana.
There is a reason that each one of them has a sticker that says:
"limit one per customer"...they are the best snowboards on earth.
Period.
