Product Info
GNU Billy Goat Freeride BTX Snowboard 2009: In a new twist for 2009, Gnu rider, Temple Cummins has gone b-a-n-a-n-a-s on his Billy Goat Freeride board -- as in Banana Magne-Traction. Crud is no object for this board, the tips float effortlessly in pow and this banana is no mush – it’s designed to be solid, stable, and torsionally firm. The pre-bent rocker allows the board to be easily micro adjusted in steeps and tight set up lines. The Billy Goat Freeride BTX features a specially designed birch/aspen core with Anvitex dampening to keep things smooth at high speeds in variable conditions. Temple put the Gnu Billy Goat Freeride to the test; now it’s your turn.
Product Details
Other Features
BTX: Banana Technology and Magne-traction combined – Banana is revolutionary snowboard geometry (licensed from Lib Tech) featuring a “banana” rocker between your feet and flat to the tip and tails. The middle of your board is brought to life and the ends become more catch free to float or climb through tight transitions. Magne-traction gives you better control and edge hold with multiple points of contact on your edge. Slice through any snow condition, think of Magne-traction as a serrated knife blade cutting through the snow.
Quasi-Isotropic Fiberglass: 4-way fiber orientation 0/45/45/90. Triaxial and biaxial glass combo for max pop and control.
Sintered 9900 base: Continuous compression formed for molecular elongation, preserving its amorphous polymer structure, for maximum wax absorption and durability.
Mervin – BA core: Birch & Aspen core that is super damp and dense. Solid pop and crust blasting stability at speed.
Gnu Organics: Bio Plastic top sheet made out of beans

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. Splitboarding A splitboard snowboard is built specifically for the backcountry rider. Splitboards are designed to break down into two separate halves for touring and uphill travel (with climbing skins). Special bindings are required as well. Once you've reached the top of the terrain feature, you reconnect your splitboard for the ride back downhill. However, it's important to note that you will need appropriate backcountry tools, knowledge of the backcountry, weather and snow conditions and climbing skins to safely take advantage of the freedom of a splitboard.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
