    Comments about GNU Riders Choice Pickle Tech Snowboard 2012:

    I've been riding for going on 14 seasons now, and have never ridin a board like this one. Very lightweight and palyful in all terrain. Yes it has been a bad year for snow in colorado, but we've gotten a few sick powder days recently where i've gotten to push this baby to her limits. Carves excellent on groomers thanks to the magne-traction (genious invention), and holds her own making tight turns in knee deep powder through the trees. Has lots of good pop thnx to the C2BTX, and my heel edge turns hold better at high speeds thx to pickle power. If you have the cash (or credit) you need this board!

    Comments about GNU Riders Choice Pickle Tech Snowboard 2012:

    Best board I've ever ridden in my entire life. Only con is that mervyn manufacturing shafts you a bit by not supplying a side rail full aroun the radius of the nose and tail so side wall bends become easily prevalent. Other than that this board deserves the transworld good wood fasho unlike those other boards like the machete that had to pay their way to get to the top.

      I've only been up once, but it rode like a dream. There were only groomers open and no powder in sight. Bad year in Colorado for snow. I have great control though and it goes very fast.
