Lib Tech Skate Banana Snowboard - Men's: Ride a banana! Slippery freestyle fun! Lib Tech's Banana Technology reverses a boards "pressure map" shifting your feet towards the center of the board where you have more balance control. Some weight is still transferred to the tips and tails and full contact is maintained for control and stability but far less than is the case with tip-to- tail ski camber where the tips and tails are the focus of all weight distribution, making a board catchy and difficult to ride. The Banana snowboard specific pressure map makes turns easy to initiate, is catch-free and forgiving, floats incredible in powder, and is unreal for jibbing and poppy freestyle fun.
Banana Technologies and Magne-Traction (BTX)
Twin geometries.
H-Pop core with banana specific core profile.
Power transfer internal sidewalls.
Flex: 4-6 (depending on size)
ASSORTED COLORS! COLOR CAN NOT BE GUARANTEED!
Sizing:
- Graphics vary and are picked by size, not color—we cannot guarantee a certain color
Traction and Grip:
- Banana Technologies and Magne-Traction (BTX)
- Magnetraction technology places extra contact points along the edge, creating a serrated knife effect for optimum traction on all types of snowpack including ice and crud
Features:
- The result of the Banana Tech is freestyle-centric pressure between the feet and a catch-free feeling at the furthest contact points
- Sintered base
- H-Pop wood-alloy core uses rocker-specific tapering to harmonize with the reverse-camber shape to increase pop without interrupting the forgiving flex
- Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls reinforce the sidewalls with an internal 90-degree wall built to resist and absorb sidewall, edge, and core-damaging impacts
- Transworld Snowboarding Magazine Good Wood Award repeat winner
- Twin geometry rides even going both ways, which delivers a skate-like feel designed for all terrain
- Too many awards to list
- Banana Tech is built with a rockered platform between the feet, a flat section under the inserts, and a mild camber toward the ends
The time for multi-colored all-mountain freestyle fun has come. Some believe the Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX Snowboard in Assorted Colors was foretold by ancient cave drawings scrawled by primitive shredders many eons ago, some believe the colorful Skate Banana was planted by aliens and just now discovered, and some believe cosmic mutant apes brought the Banana from the future. One thing is for certain: the Banana is high in BTX technology and shredtassium so you can get loose but have your pop too.

Banana Tech rocker places the control between your feet with camber at each board end. You'll have full tip-to-tail edge contact, making every ride an easy ride, no matter the direction or the terrain!
Magne-Traction serrated edges grip the ice and turn it into powder! Features seven strategically placed bumps along each side of the sidecut. Biggest bumps are at the center, giving you more control and balance. Smaller bumps outside the feet provide improved tip-to-tail control but still offer plenty of freestyle freedom.
True twin shape offers perfect twin orientation for aggressive power and control.
Some serious pop has been added to the board with the performance-enhancing H-Pop Core with Banana Specific Core Profile.
TnT Base material provides a fast and low maintenance surface for you to float on.
Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls has the same futuristic power 90° pop technology as Lib Tech's world record setting skateboards. Power transfer spines have been placed along the sidewall of the board to add board control to the sandwich construction.

Award winning, rips everything, easy to ride, easy to turn, catch-free and forgiving, floats incredibly in powder, is unreal for jibbing, poppy freestyle fun, handcrafted in the USA, for first timers to pros. Banana Tech snowboards specific geometries reverse a snowboard’s “pressure map”, shifting your weight from your feet inward to the center of your board where balance is controlled. Some weight is still transferred to the tips and tails and full contact is maintained for control and stability but far less than is the case with tip-to-tail ski style camber where the tips and tails are the focus of all weight distribution, making a board catchy and difficult to ride.

Lib Technologies Skate Banana Snowboard Reviews:
Reviews:
I bought this board after my Ride Machete cracked on me. I live on the East Coast in NJ so most of what I ride is ice but we do get our fair share of chest deep powder. I also ordered from the assorted colors and received an orange/black.
Icy Conditions:
Magnetraction cuts right into the ice like its not even there. Muuuuch better than any boards I have ridden including the machete.
Park:
It seems to have slightly less immediate pop than my machete but the pop is much more controlled. I was able to hop onto rails and hit the larger jumps no problem.
Powder:
Awesome just awesome. The banana just floats.
Overall:
Its my favorite all around board to date and I am a die hard Mervin Industries believer now!
Really this is a great board. I have had it for three seasons now and have taken it up about 80 times and I don't have anything bad to say. Its an all around good board and I don't think I could go without the Magnetraction and the rocker. It works great and its made in the US and my home state of Washington.
