Such a sweet board. Threw on a pair of Burton CO2's in yellow, and the thing rides like a dream. A bit more squirly than any other board I've ridden, but by the end of the day it felt fine.

I've never had so many shop people and riders stop me to ask me about it.

It is the future and I'm stoked to ride it!

Sorry to hear they sent you the wrong board. Good luck getting that situated. From what I hear, it's nearly impossible to find until next August unless you want to get raped on ebay.

I got a hold of a new 145 box scratcher if anyone is interested in trading for a larger banana/magnetrac board. extra $$$ to sweeten the pot.

Banana performance kills camber performance, and both were introduced to snowboards by Lib Tech.

Pete Saari actually formally apologized for introducing camber.

I love my banana! It is hands down the best board I've ever ridden.

Here is a shot of me on an old LOOK La Mar Freestyle. This board had no camber at all and the base was convex; it spun like a gyro on the slopes. I still have it in my museum today, but as it had no inserts, it was a pain to mount the bindings, hence change them.
Still riding Lib Techs these days; right now 4 out of 5 in my family ride Libs, even the kids. Just got an older 148 cm ACME for cheap on ebay.....

What's the flex pattern like?
Overall, pretty stiff??

Here is a clip of me some 4 yrs ago with my interpretation of 'slope-style'.
