Lib Technologies Skate Banana Original BTX Snowboard - 2008

You want nothing less than the original—a combination of Magne-Traction and Banana technology with the telltale banana colors—Lib Tech's Skate Banana Original BTX Snowboard. Rather than placing camber underfoot, Lib Tech used its Banana Rocker between the binding inserts, which puts edge pressure between your feet (where it should be) instead of at the tip and tail. This Banana Technology, combined with Magne-Traction edges, give the Skate Banana Original BTX Snowboard a loose, catch-free ride that butters and jibs well. Plus the stiffened tip and tail provide tons of pop. Lib Tech's reverse-camber base takes this ride from the park into floaty whiteness on pow days.

Bottom Line: The original banana.

I had over 12 years of boarding under my belt when i desided to get the Skate tech... and in all that time i never broken a bone. This board had such pop! it was awesome... i can't see why i would get a different board. The only problem i have with the board is how many people have it now... its like the live strong yellow bands... it just a phase...

the future of boarding

By:
July 15, 2008

There are always "advancements" in riding gear each year. Usually these things (baseless bindings for example) are just fads and soon go away. This is not the case with Magne-Traction or reverse camber. Anyone whose been on a Magne-Traction board knows theres no going back and now reverse camber just ups the ante. The banana is the most natural and responsive board i've ever ridden. Its got crazy pop, awesome pressing flex, kills it in the park, and backcountry pow. All you have to do is look at the industry and see the other companies trying to catch up. Rossi Bataleon K2 and Salomon are all adopting either reverse camber or their own version of Magne-Traction. Welcome to the future....

Tasty banana's

By:

Good luck to all the competition out there to make something as innovative as this that actually works as good as the Banana rocker! Here's the thing.... The Banana is kind of a basic construction, so if you're a killer shredder, it may be worth it to you to spend a couple extra bucks on another board with the banana rocker like the TRS, or Phoenix.
It will ride as good or better and it will hold up better under all the stress a talented rider will subject their board to.

The Lib Tech Skate Banana is the best snowboard I have ever ridden. I will never go back to regular camber or any fake banana "rocker" boards. the LIB banana is the only way to go- any condition, any terrain, it made me a better snowboarder. mervin for life!

This Board is BANANAS!!!!!!!!!

By:
December 9, 2008

I rode this board 5 times this season 08/09 already and let me tell you each time I ride this board my riding gets fresher & fresher. This board really does it all from butters, manuals, nice pop & the magne-traction really does work dope board for real......I do have to admit that this board does take a day or two to get used to if you never rode a reversed cambered board but after you get use to it the board is just straight BANANAS FUNNIEST BOARD I EVER RODE IN 10 YEARS OF SNOWBOARDING

I had a good time on my Banana, the only problem that I encountered is that mine started to peel at the tips.
