T.Ripper Snowboard - Kids'

It doesn't matter who you ask, pretty much everyone knows that Travis Rice is one of the gnarliest guys to ever strap a snowboard to his feet. But even Travis had to learn, which is why Lib Tech built the T. Ripper snowboard for smaller shredders with big dreams. The shape is a scaled-down version of the T. Rice pro, and the flex is tailored for lighter riders. In other words, it's a full-on pro level deck, for little guys who are still making their mark.

Just like its older brother, the T. Ripper runs on Lib's C2 BTX rocker profile. Basically, that means that there's rocker between the bindings, while the tip and tail have camber built in. What that means for you is all the control of camber, with a fun rockered feel. It gets better with Magne-Traction edges, which place seven strategic bumps along the edges. The bumps are bigger between the feet, which concentrates most of the grip there for a ride feeling that's more like a skateboard and less like standing on Grandpa's skis. Plus it's a true twin, for unrestricted switch shredding.

The H Pop core uses fast growing, sustainably harvested wood for a board that's light and snappy. Power Transfer internal sidewalls crank up the durability, and they're buffered by UHMW external sidewalls for impact resistance. The Teflon infused TNT base holds up to jibbing and runs fast even when it doesn't get waxed a whole lot. Best of all, you can rest easy knowing that this snowboard was built with eco-friendly materials by snowboarders with jobs.
