Lib Technologies Cygnus X1 BTX Snowboard - 2009
Not too long ago, snowboarding aliens from the future landed in a small town in Washington, the same one where Lib Tech’s headquarters are located. They chilled for a while and drank some brews, and when they had to leave, they left our banana-producing friends with blueprints for the Cygnus X1 BTX Snowboard. Its mega-eco-friendly construction and intergalactic-level technology make for a ride somewhere in between “totally awesome” and “ridiculously awesome”.
- Layers of magnesium oxide strands are nearly twice as strong as traditional fiberglass, and use 30% less petroleum products
- Super-light sustainably farmed timbers produce a strong, poppy core
- Vectran Torsion Rods (26% lighter than carbon) beneath the core for optimal edge-to-edge response at minimal weight
- Magne-traction serrated edges keep you gripping even on the hardest snow
- Bio-polymer seamless sidewalls absorb vibration and resist damage by returning to their original shape after impact
- Z-Axis air polymer built into the core provides extra pop without unnecessary additional stiffness
- Bio-plastic topsheet is eco-friendly and still durable
Bottom Line: Space-age shred stick.
Leave your mark on The Wall.

Mike Olson, the founder of mervin MFG builds each board by hand firstly. That's like Henry Ford building your car for you! If you were to cut this board open and perform surgery, You'd be guessing for days all the materials that go into it. The process of making this board is extremely complicated and time consuming.
This is a super expensive board you can ride anywhere. I've hit rails with our demo. Pound a nail into the sidewall then pull it out and watch it magically heal!
Crazy stuff.

your comment about how you should ski if you dont want to spend 1800 is just plain stupid. You must be an ignorant asswhole. spending 1800 on a board is ridiculous unless you are rich

It's really the working man's snowboard. Honestly if you cant afford 1800 bucks for a snowboard then you should probably just ski. I mean snowboarding is all about being seen anyway. The days of snowboarding for fun are over. Its time to pony up 4 snowboards worth of cash and really show the world how hard you shred.

i agree, i have the Dark series and the T. Rice and i bet they ride exactly the same as this board without having to pay 1800 bucks. i mean, sure I bet its really awesome, but you can buy a used car with that money ha

I'm a big lib tech supporter and rider but i don't think any board is worth 1800 dollars, i bet my T Rice rides the same or better, probably better with C2 Btx and its a third of the price of this board
