Your parents and school teachers should have warned you about the Gnu Gateway PBTX Snowboard. Hooking you on shred with the very first hit, the Gateway offers the fun, playful feel needed to smoke any park obstacle in your path. It makes sense that this freestyle-specific deck represents a partnership between Gnu and Gateway Parks, a leader in bringing terrain parks to urban areas throughout the country. In fact, the purchase of this board helps fund future terrain parks across North America, also scoring you a free Weekday Warrior pass to any Gateway resort.
Armed with an asymmetric twin shape, the Gateway offers a deeper heelside sidecut (shorter radius) to balance out the mechanical difference between toeside and heelside turns. Since your body's natural stance allows you to exert more pressure over your toeside edge, the board's asymmetric shape compensates for this fact, giving you a more balanced ride. And since the board remains a true twin, it rides and lands switch without hesitation, allowing you to dial-in your switch skills in the park.
You'll find that the board's PBTX profile makes for easy turn initiation, effortless buttering, and even great float in powder, thanks to a rocker or 'Banana' located between your feet. Giving you just a bit of added response to the tip and tail, the board's mild camber extends from underfoot to the contacts without feeling catchy. Beveled Magne-Traction edges maintain their legendary grip, yet they're slightly detuned, allowing you to grind and jib without hanging up. Add in a snappy core composed of Polonia, Great Lakes Aspen, and Columbian Gold wood for an all-out park slayer that's sure to feed your freestyle addiction.
