Lib Tech’s TRS (Total Ripper Series) C2BTX Snowboard opens a portal through the space-time continuum and into a vortex of freestyle annihilation. The C2 Power Banana shape blends the best features of rocker and camber for a stomp-friendly ride that still pops powerful ollies and holds an edge at warp speed.
C2 Power Banana shape places camber under your feet and rocker in-between for a loose, fun ride that still carves through turns
Columbian Gold core uses snowboard-specific, genetically-engineered wood for insane pop and light weight
Magne-Traction edges add five contact points to offer exceptional grip and control, even on icy snow
Basalt fibers are blended with traditional fiberglass for a more eco-friendly construction that increases pop and dampens the ride
Low-maintenance TNT base resists damage and repairs easily
Bottom Line: Trick-stomping power to rival the Big Bang.
Got the TRS C2 BTX this year. It's a great board in many ways. It soft enough to butter and stiff enough to go mach 5 down a black diamond and still feel stable. Magna traction is unbeatable on ice. Lots of pop, great for jumps and tricks. Everything you need in a total ripper!! Everything except the Extruded base!!!! Why the hell does LIb Tech use an extruded base. After the 2nd day on the slopes the my base looks like its been through the whole season. If you are planning to ride on wet snow during spring condition, watch out for the extruded base. It's really slow on wet snow. I mean extremely sloooow. Feels like the base just drags on the snow. It's fine in colder conditions.
I am trying to decide between the skunk or trs. I'm 6 foot 180 pounds and wear a size 13 shoe. I'm not sure which way to go and if and when I do get it what size board should I get of either?
Hey there... I have the same size boot and the most important spec for you to watch is the waist width... A rule of thumb for me is 26.5cm or bigger... so of the two boards you are wondering about, the skunk ape for sure!
What can I say that hasn't been said already... They should call this board TRSU instead!!!!(Totally Rip Sh*t Up) This board is the REAL DEAL, I had last years model without the C2 and thought it was a GREAT board but DAMN!!!! C2 completely changes the ball game, this thing RIPS in POW, groomers, icy death chutes(AK), backcountry, Chunder, Death cookies, you name it, it'll tear sh*t up!!!
Magna-Traction is the REAL DEAL, not a gimick, marketing scheme, it's the truth. I wouldn't want to be caught on a steep icy-ass AK hill without it.
my 1 and ONLY complaint is that TNT extrude base is just crap... slow, slow, slow and it seems as if i need to wax on a weekly basis... I wish LIB would change that and this would be the PERFECT all mountain weapon!!! (that's why I gave it a 4 star instead of 5)

This by far the BEST board out there, and is definitely worth every penny! Nothing compares to this board! RIPS on powder, hard packed ice, sticks like a mofo on rails and boxes, and crazy ass pop off jumps! Not to mention, It is mad forgiving on landings, almost ate shit a couple of times but the board just seems to balance me out. I feel like I'm cheating with this board! Everything said about this board is TRUE, the craziest part about riding it the first time is it feels like your floating, whether it be packed ice or powder! This shit is butter baby! In conclusion, if you've been riding for awhile and haven't ridden a lib yet, and want to to step up your game, then this is the board you want hands down. Anything less, and your selling yourself short. I'll be riding nothing but libs unless someone else let's me ride another board, that they THINK is equivalent which I highly doubt!
Does anyone know what the differences are between the TRS and the Dark Series (besides the $$)? I was blown away when I got a chance to ride the Dark Series last year, so that is probably gonna be this year's purchase. I am 5'11" 175 lbs & prefer trees (safety meetings!), sidecountry, hikes, pow of course - never seem to hit the park. Thanx...
From what I've read, Dark Series is a little bit stiffer and it has a different base. TRS uses the TNT (extrude)base while DS uses a Sinter UHMW base. (from my personal experience, I don't like the extrude style bases cuz they tend not to hold wax as well and so there's an issue with constant "maintenance")
DS also has something called the ORG riser thing at the binding holes.(don't ask me what it does cuz I have no idea... haha) and I think TRS is a center stance board and DS might be set-back? please correct me if I'm wrong...
I've had the TRS for two years now and its still my favorite board I've ever ridden. This board rips everything and loves to go fast and big. This board has an aggressive sidecut so it can pull super g turns pretty nicely but sometimes I do washout on my heel side. The wide version of this is the skunk ape and I would size up but the flex pattern changes as the board gets wider and my favorite part of this board is how playful it is while still being the snappiest board I've ever ridden.
I'm 6' and 185 lbs, size 11 (low profile boot) and I ride the 162cm at Snowbird and love it. I only get heel drag on super aggressive turns so if you are worried about heel and toe drag, don't be unless you have a bulky boot (ThirtyTwo, Vans, older Burtons) and wear above a size 11. Wide version of the TRS is the Skunk Ape.
