Marie-France Roy or MFR for short has carved a couple hours out of her schedule to sit down for the next live Rome SDS Ask the Rider Twitter Interview this Friday, October 16th.

Aside from being one of the nicest most easy going people you could hope to meet, MFR pretty much kills it on a snowboard. Dropping new stuff every season and still in her prime, she’s already put together one hell of a resume. When you look at some of the stuff she’s been up to, it’s enough to make any sideways slider jealous.

The questions are up to you. How was filming the Team Shoot Out? How was filming with Absinthe this past season? Any good stories from your recent trip to Japan? Would you consider dating a guy that isn’t as good as you at snowboarding (also known as 99.99% of the male snowboarding population)?

Really ask whatever you want, and as an added bonus, we’ll be hooking up one lucky question-tweeter with their choice of a new pair of Strut or United bindings.

Here’s how it will work: ?

1 Log on to Twitter at the designated time
2. Submit your question in the “What Are You Doing?” box
3. End your question with a #Rometeam
4. MFR will fire back his answers to your questions

So if you need some tips on back fives, need MFR’s opinion on your Haloween costume this year, her thoughts on the new Lo-Fi 1985, or are just looking for some gardening advice, make sure to hit up the Rome Twitter account during the following times and she’ll get back to you in real time.

3-5 Eastern?
2-4 Central
1-3 Mountain
12-2 Pacific

The good ideas are still being churned out of Mervin Manufacturing, their latest design gives the rider equal turning, heel and toe side. The Patent Pending Proprietary Park Pickle Product will be included in the 2010 Gnu Snowboard line. Based on the idea that heel side turns require more leverage than toe side turns, the Park Pick will have a deeper side cut on the heel side. The board is a true twin shape with a centered stance so it can be ridden with either goofy or regular and includes Mervin Mfg’s exclusive use of Banana Technology.
The Park Pickle achieves perfect balance through asymmetry, a deeper side cut and asymmetric core on the heel edge balances your foots asymmetry and the different turn mechanics between heel and toe turns. Twin Asymmetric Banana Magnetraction design is the future of all terrain freestyle performance snowboards. Pickle Power

This is a quick peek at the 2010 Lib Tech snowboards now in stock at Shoreline of Tahoe. This years line has continued to turn heads, those who has seen the new graphics say “its another Lib year for me” Lib Tech snowboard designs, graphics, and function are worth the price of admission.
