Product Info
2008 Gnu Rider’s Choice Magne-Traction Snowboard — Originally the “factory choice” board, the Gnu Rider’s Choice Snowboard is now designed—and ridden—by pros Zach Leach, Kyle Clancy and Dennis Bonjourno (alias: Sketchy D). This Rider’s Choice comes complete with Magne-Traction geometry for the ultimate high-end freestyle board performance. When combined with the freestyle-friendly twin directional shape, and a new-for-2008 blunt tip/tail shape, Magne-Traction construction is unstoppable. You’ll be unstoppable too, thanks to the sinfully fast Sintered 9900 Base, UHMW Sidewalls and feather light Mervin AG1 Core. And for the 1980s-licious graphic, Soldier Design plundered the musical antiquities to produce a raw mosaic collision of full-scale musical revelry. Jib a few (hundred) rails to celebrate the fine art of mix tape personalization, not to mention quality kick-ass freestyle performance, with the pro-designed 2008 Gnu Rider’s Choice MTX Snowboard.

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
