Product Info
GNU Riders Choice BTX Wide Snowboard 2009: Do you have oversized stompers and are constantly torn between jibbing and riding pow? You love both, but don’t want to haul two boards every time you head up to the mountain. Well, fret no more because your big feet can now jib and float with the same board – the Gnu Riders Choice BTX Wide Snowboard. This board comes in the same great Riders Choice designs but now comes with Banana Technology (BTX). Gnu did a limited run of these boards last year and every one was gone within a couple of weeks. Do it to it this season and get the Gnu Riders Choice BTX Wide Snowboards.
Product Details
Other Features
Quasi-Isotropic Glass: 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.
Sandwich construction with UHMW sidewalls
Mervin AG1 core: A perfect combination of Aspen, ultra lightweight genetically altered wood core and 9 layers of endgrain Birch.
True Twin Shape with Banana-Traction: 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.

Freestyle, All-Mountain

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. 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.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
