TECHNOLOGY:

Enhanced Banana (!BTX!)

Mervin’s magical world. Our highest rocker between the feet blended with a secret numerical formula of camber to the contact points. Focuses our maximum pressure between your feet for magical turns and edge hold on ice and a mild amount of pressure to the tip and tail for end-to-end stability and pop while maintaining incredible float and catch-free freestyle .

Twin All Terrain Freestyle

Excels: in all conditions.
Epic: carving, ice & pow.

Magne-Traction (MTX)

Magne-Traction serrated edges cut into the snow like a knife giving you more edge hold and control than ever before.  Magne-Traction features 7 strategically located and sized bumps along each side of your sidecut.  The Biggest bumps are at and between your feet where your balance is centered adding maximum control and power where you need it most.  The bumps outside your feet are smaller and less aggressive providing tip and tail control but maintaining freestyle freedom.  Magne-Traction is wiggles that work. Viva Technology.

MAGNE-TRACTION FREESTYLE ADVANTAGE:

One of the best things about Magne-Traction is that the extra edge hold you get allows you to ride your board de-tuned for the park and rails and still get great edge hold all over the mountain. Take a file and round your edges so they don’t hang up on the rails, boxes, or ledges. Then go ride everywhere!

True Twin

Absolutely perfect twin geometry, tried and true science with MTX, or the added advantage of new Banana Technology and or Camber Combo.

Sintered UHMW Base Material

Super tough base material that holds wax well due to its compression formed amorphous polymer structure. Super fast when waxed with Oneballjay.

SHDRESS Sidewalls

Self Healing D65 Rebound Elastomer Seamless Sidewalls- one piece perimeter sidewall with super impact resistance, vibration reduction, and the healing properties of a human body.

Basalt

Basalt is produced in a clean, pure process consisting of high heat and absent of toxic additives. Not only is it safer for humans, it’s easier to recycle. Basalt fiber has strength properties much higher than fiberglass and better damping properties for a smooth ride.

Bio-Plastic Beans

ExperiMENTAL division leader Mike Olson loves beans! When he’s not eating them he’s buying plastics made with them. Lib Tech has made a commitment to using a new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that features the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any top sheet in the industry.

Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls

The same futuristic power 90º pop technology from our world record setting skateboards and power transfer spines only this time we have placed it along the sidewall of your board to add board control to our sandwich construction. Stronger, more pop, and more control brought to you by our Woodshop!

SOS

Sandwich Over Sandwich- this is the backbone of the mad-pop and compression energy often referred to as Top-Pop.

SSHBS

Seamless Self Healing Biopolymer Sidewalls that glow in the dark in tribute to Chernobyl. One piece perimeter sidewalls with super impact resistance, rebound, vibration reduction, and the healing properties of a human body.

MOS

Magnesium Oxide Strand- uses up to 30% less petroleum matrix products (environMENTALLY friendlier) and is almost twice as strong as traditional fiberglass.

ZAAP

Z Axis Air Polymer- space age polymer engineered to be stronger in one direction than the other.

ULEGT

Ultra Light End Grain Timbers- the lightest farmed timbers known are oriented top to bottom in the middle of the core for max lightweight strength efficiency.

VTR

Vectran Torsion Rods- Vectran power fibers arranged in a torsional X for corner-to-corner energy transmission at minimal weight (26% lighter than carbon).
