2012 Lib Tech Attack Banana snowboard
The LIB Tech Attack Banana will be available in 153, 156, 159, 161 & Wides in 159 & 161.
Lib Tech Attack Banana EC2 BTX Snowboard 2012: The Attack Banana from Lib Tech features Steven Cobb’s EC2 elliptical camber banana combo. Why would you want this? Because it mindlessly rips all terrain and snow conditions in both directions from your centered freestyle stance. The elliptical camber creates a unique pressure map and performance characteristics that are halfway between the original Banana and the aggressive C2 Power Banana geometry that Travis Rice likes so much. This board is the perfect design compromise that will leave you anything but compromised when it comes to all terrain freestyle performance. Floats in powder, carves the hardpack, rips the ice, jibs like whatever will not let you down when things get gnarly. Tested around the world from Mt. Baker to Summit Central…the early release model is an instant quiver killing factory favorite.

Welcome to Shoreline of Tahoe, 2011 spring Sale….the best place in Lake Tahoe and online to shop for Snowboards, Skis, Snowboard boots, Ski Boots, Snowboard bindings, Ski Bindings ski & snowboard jackets, pants, outerwear, clothing, and everything else you need to ski or snowboard. We carry only the highest quality gear from brands like Burton, K2, Moment, Full Tilt, Lib Tech, Never Summer, Line, Look, Salomon, 686, Volcom, and many more.

We need to educate the market to understand that our Banana contours are dynamic (flexible and moving) and not static like a surfboard (no flex). Higher Banana actually tends to add stability in a snowboard. It will be a hard concept to grasp for most people for many years to come.

A higher Banana distributes more pressure to the central(straighter) portion of the sidecut, which gives stability at speed. The nose and tail of a board is where the sidecut flares out and can be twitchy if there is too much pressure on the snow(remember the dangerous twitch of cambered boards in the dark ages). Contrary to popular myth, Banana does not cause a board to teeter-totter, it actually redistributes your foot pressure to better portions of the board than antique camber was capable of. We actually tested a very, very stiff and high Banana(too stiff) on our pressure mapping machine a couple of years ago and learned that when stood on by a 150lb rider, it still had a surprising amount of pressure driving into the snow at the nose and tail. And this wasn’t even a C-2.

Our boards with higher Banana have also displayed the ability to glide a little faster than traditional camber or lower Banana contours. We attribute this, once again, to the straightest part of the sidecut(between your feet) having a higher percentage of the pressure distribution. Test a Magic on a flat cat track and you’ll see the raw racing ability at 3 miles per hour. Leave your camber-loving bretheren in your wake!

The Cygnus has won every test(4 at last count) it’s been in with comments about “mad pop” and high speed stability. The Cygnus and Magic have our highest Bananas. The proofs in the pudd’n, but it is something to think about when trying to understand the dynamics of Banana contours.

No magazine has shown a real understanding of Banana stability verses camber in the preseason equipment articles every year. I guess it is our job to better educate them.

The good news is that we have many future years of design aspects to talk about to retailers, magazines and snow-riding-people. Our future will be dynamic and exciting.

BSS 2010 Ep4-4 Mervin Manufacturing Factory Tour from Big Jump on Vimeo.

Natasha Ferre takes a tour around one of the last snowboard factories to still hand craft their boards in the USA. The award winning Mervin Manufacturing. Mervin is the parent company of Liberace Technologies (aka Lib Tech) Snowboards, Gnu Snowboards, Lib Tech Skateboards, Freedom Dolly, and Bent Metal bindings.

It has come to our attention that Sierra Snowboards will not be selling 2011 Lib tech snowboards, so here is their review they filmed at the 2011 SIA Ski and Snowboard trade show, posted March 4th 2010 on youtube. We did decide to carry the 2011 Lib Tech Snowboards, so if you would like to buy one we have them now online at Shoreline of Tahoe

Snowboard Design Review: C2 BTX
Sept 14, 2010
Location: Lake Tahoe, NV

This Blog’s purpose is to explain the features advantages and benefit of the “C2 BTX” design found in many of the boards that Mervin manufacturing makes. C2 technology is banana rocker between the bindings and camber from the inserts to the contact points. This means 2 cambers, one per-foot. C2 BTX designs are easy to initiate into each turn with quick edge to edge response. Both short and long radius turns on the C2 BTX Designs let you power through each turn. The double camber gives you energy while in your turn, Camber engages the snow and gives back a more lively turn. The feature allows the rider to maintain the line he sets his board to do. The advantage is stability at high speeds. The benefit is that you have a single board that can do-it all board for the mountain.
