Description

The archetype rocker.

It's been a while since the OG banana literally flipped the script on the snowboard world. Today, the Lib Tech Skate Banana Original BTX Snowboard is just as relevant and versatile as it was on day one. 

  • Banana Tech is built with a rockered platform between the feet, a flat section under the inserts, and a mild camber toward the ends
  • The result of the Banana Tech is freestyle-centric pressure between the feet and a catch-free feeling at the furthest contact points
  • Magnetraction technology places extra contact points along the edge, which creates a serrated knife effect for optimum traction on all types of snowpack including ice and crud
  • H-Pop wood-alloy core uses rocker-specific tapering to harmonize with the reverse-camber shape to increase pop without interrupting the forgiving flex
  • Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls reinforce the sidewalls with an internal 90-degree wall built to resist and absorb sidewall, edge, and core-damaging impacts
  • Twin geometry rides even going both ways, delivering a skate-like feel designed for all terrain
  • Transworld Snowboarding Magazine Good Wood Award repeat winner
  • Designed, tested, and built in the USA

I ride a 155 right now and i love it. I weigh about 175 and almost 6 feet tall. Now even though it doesnt really matter u think i should go for the 154 or the 156?

I'd go for the 156 - this board is pretty rockered and rides shorter than it is. the 156 is still plenty small for all of the park riding that you might want to do, but going down to 154 is going to get short for pow riding.

This board is simply amazing. It is a great all around board and super playful. I've never owned a board that was not regular camber, so it took me about a day to get used to the rocker/reverse camber/rocker setup, but boy do I love it. I do not think I will ever go back. The rocker setup makes it super easy to go from edge to edge, especially in tree runs where you have to be quick. I am not sure if the wavy edge helps, but I definitely get better grip than I think most others on the mountain. I live on the easy coast, so even boarding through harder surfaces isnt as scary as it used to be.

The board is also medium flex and has a lot of pop. I was scared to go too buttery, since I also like to go fast. First few times going through bumpy terrain was a leg workout, but I got used to it. The board though has a lot of pop. I definitely think the pop helps on jumps, getting more air, and pulling off more advanced grabs.

I am an intermediate rider (3rd season). I love freeriding and taking park moves onto the mountain. I matched this board with rome united bindings.

Depends how much you weigh. I am 140lbs and I went with the 152". I think the board is more stable than you would usually imagine, so if you like park, go with the shortest you think you will be comfortable with.
