• Answer:

  I highly recommend Lib Tech Skate Banana Snowboard 159Cm I bought the first year Skate Banana 159 and will never go back to cambered boards. I have been riding 75+ days/year since 1989 and this is by far the most fun and hardest charging board I have ever ridden. Rides like a Caddy, eats whatever you throw at it and makes you want to charge everything hard because you know it will perform for you. Takes 1/2 day to get used to, especially at high speeds on groomers (feels a little squirrly), but once you get it dialed in you will fall in love with it. Check the reviews all over the web, mags, blogs, wherever... It has won Good Wood and Platinum Pick every year since it's inception and for good reason, it is just a fun board to ride. Notice how every company has "reverse camber" or "rocker" or variations thereof now? Lib couldn't keep up with production the first year it released the technology, and other companies had to take notice or lose more market share than they already were. I actually traded my SB in for the Gnu Riders Choice with BTX last year and regret it--not that the RC is a bad ride but the SB is more fun, more pop and a greater sense of playfulness. I am actively seeking to trade my RC to go back to a SB. I am a solid powder hound big mountain rider and the SB performs; I have to ride groomers/parks with the kids and the SB performs; I can't say enough about the SB except that it has changed the way I purchase boards--BTX only. Demo one, borrow one, buy one--give it a day and you will be convinced. It really makes snowboarding more fun, and makes you want to charge hard. The best prices and free shipping from the page I bookmark. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CJJ5FY?ie=UTF8&tag=aor-sale-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001CJJ5FY Don't hesitate - just buy it. Good Luck!
