Product Info

Professional snowboarder Forest Bailey rides rails like an alien - out of this world! His creative style on a snowboard inspired the design for the funky GNU Forest Bailey Head Space BTX Snowboard. This snowboard is jib-focused and uses the BTX profile with mellow rocker right between your feet and non-elliptical camber out to the nose and tail. This combination of camber and rocker makes for a snowboard that's insanely easy to press and ollie. Unique boarding style calls for a unique snowboard shape, so the Head Space has an ergo-synchronized asymmetrical sidecut and core placement to give you better-turning precision and balance. The GNU Forest Bailey Head Space BTX Snowboard will have you jibbing, jumping and shredding down Mt. Weird all season long.

Product Details

Rocker Type

BTXRevolutionary all terrain freestyle banana blend. Rocker between your feet with flat to mild camber to contact points. Mild tip pressure for unreal float and jibbing, solid pressure between your feet for easy turning and great ice edge hold.

Flex

Flex Rating: 4.5 - 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)This snowboard has a medium flex rating making it easy to press rails and slide boxes.

Shape

A.S.S. Pickle TechnologyAsymmetric Symmetric Synchronization uses asymmetry in the board's sidecut (deeper heelside sidecut), wood core components (asymmetric wood lamination for softer heelside flex), contact angles (power serration on heelside and fine serration on toeside, short heelside edge contact and longer toeside contact) and tip and tail design to make riding a whole lot easier. The board harmonizes with your bodies natural asymmetry and the unique toeside and heelside snowboard activation mechanics.

Core

Miraculous Aspen SpineThe strong, powerful center beam of all Gnu cores.

Powerful Golden POP-lar Toe SideThis light, lively wood reduces the snowboards weight while adding a crisp pop.

Amazing PaulowniaThis energy regenerative wood is GNU's lightest and smoothest core material that significantly reduces vibrations and dampens harsh landings.

FSC Certified Wood CoresFSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Laminates

Bi ax / Tri axThis is a glass and fiber reinforcement combination to give the snowboard a long life and plenty of pop.

Sidewalls

UHMW Sintered SidewallsUltra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.

Birch Power Transfer Internal SidewallsThese sidewalls transfer energy to the edges more rapidly. Aiming to give you unmatched control, pop, precision, and response.

UHMW Tip and Tail Impact Protection

Base

Sintered BaseThis base material was made through an environmentally-friendly process without the use of toxic solvents or curtain coats. Compression hardened amorphous UHMW creates the toughest, fastest best wax holding base material around. For best results, wax regularly.

Die-Cut BaseBase color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Edges

Magne-Traction®Strategically located serrations on your edges that create confidence-building, fatigue-reducing, edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and ice.

Topsheet

Eco-Sublimation PBT TopsheetThis is a unique water-based graphic process that uses no toxic solvents or curtain coats in the manufacturing process. In exchange, you have a durable, classy looking top sheet that was made environmentally-friendly.
