Eco-Impossible EC2-PBTX Snowboard

The Gnu Eco-Impossible EC2-PBTX Snowboard stands in a class of its own with its exclusive, industry-leading Smart A.S.S. technology, all-terrain EC2 PBTX profile, and freestyle-friendly true twin shape. Its go-anywhere, ride-anything EC2 PBTX profile offers rocker or 'Banana' between the bindings for easy turn initiation, catch-free jibbing, and enhanced float through deep, untracked snow—allowing you to ride a true twin on epic pow days. After the 'Banana' between the bindings, the board has elliptical camber that starts under the binding inserts, continuing to the tip and tail contacts. This elliptical camber enhances tip and tail control, also giving you powerful pop for sending huge kickers and freestyle features.

So what's Smart A.S.S. technology, and how does it enhance your riding? Standing for Asymmetric Symmetric Synchronization (A.S.S.), Smart A.S.S. tech is a fancy way to describe the asymmetric shape, flex pattern, sidecut, and Magne-Traction edge serration found on the Eco-Impossible. Based on the principle that toeside turns naturally leverage more power than heelside turns, Smart A.S.S. tech gives you a deeper, shorter-radius sidecut on the heelside edge, as well as a shorter heelside edge contact, both designed to leverage heelside turns more efficiently for a well-balanced ride. Plus, the board's asymmetric 'Pickle Barrel' core has a softer flex on the heelside edge, engaging into heelside turns effortlessly. Going one step further, the Eco-Impossible's Magne-Traction edges are shaped differently on the heel and toeside edges. The heelside edge features 'power serration' for extra grip, while the toeside edge uses 'finesse serration' for a smooth, less-catchy feel.

Inside the core of this super-poppy deck, you'll find Polonia, Great Lakes Aspen, Columbian Gold wood, and Rocky Mtn Aspen. Add in Magnesium fiberglass and you have a snappy deck that springs over anything on the mountain, while delivering just the right flex for jibbing, jumping, and carving. The board's Bio Beans topsheet remains environmentally friendly with an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio, and its sintered base is fast enough to send the biggest freestyle features without a hitch. Simply put, this board rips anywhere, anytime. Pick one up today and raise your shred IQ into the realm of freestyle genius.
