Product Info
GNU Park Pickle BTX Banana Rocker Snowboard 2011: The pickle is one of those things that comes from the earth where you look at it and think that God must have a sense of humor. And you’ll be laughing your f@*!ing ass off after you’ve ravenously eaten up the park like a monkey eating a banana. Speaking of bananas, this board is built with twin asymmetrical banana technology BTX that has revolutionized snowboarding. What is it with Mervin Manufacturing? Pickles, bananas… they’re obsessed.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating: 5.5-6 (Depending on size) (1 Soft-10 Stiff): Designed for riders who live in the park but want a tad more support than a limp noodle.
Construction and Core
Twin Asymmetrical Banana Tech BTX provides balance through asymmetry and the revolutionary Banana Rocker Technology applies more pressure inward to the edge area at and between your feet. While your stance presses out the rocker, the tip and tail still make enough contact for enough stability without sacrificing float
reCURVE Magne-Traction camber/rocker combination is designed to give you the float of a rocker in the pow and crud, with the liveliness and performance edge of camber on the hardpack and ice
Asym AG Aspen core.
Shape
Twin Asymmetrical Banana through Asymmetry!
Sidewalls, Edges and Base
UHMW sidewalls
Magnetraction serrated sidecut has 7 points of contact to turn ice into powder.
Asymmetrical Sidecuts: 8.3m Toeside and 7.3m Heelside.
The sintered base is fast and durable.

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.

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.

Rocker Type
Rocker A rocker board side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth downward curvature to it and less edge contact length when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder and pivot more easily underfoot. They also tend to be less “hooky” at both tip and tail and better for landing spin maneuvers when you don’t quite have enough rotation.
