Product Info
Forest Bailey is a weirdo - no wonder he is on GNU. His pro model, the GNU Forest Space Case EC2 PBTX Snowboard, is just as bizarre. Featuring GNU's Twin Asymmetrical Symmetrical Synchronization shape, the Space Case balances nature's bio-mechanical curiosities by including shorter heelside contact, deeper heelside sidecut, and asymmetrical contact angles and shape, as well as asymmetric core materials and flex. All this weird science serves a purpose in this ripping GNU board.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EC2BTX – EC2BTX is a solid combination of rocker and mellow camber profiles. Underfoot you received the stability and pop of rocker that transitions into a subtle elliptical camber towards the tip and tail. You will love riding everywhere on this vibration-free, forgiving and responsive stick.
Flex
Flex: 4.5 - 6 (Depending on Size) – A versatile, medium-stiff flex designed to be aggressive yet playful, and great for all-mountain riding.
Shape
A.S.S. Tech – This board is Asymmetric, and still symmetric at the same time. It might sound a little odd, but it works with how your body moves. By having symmetry in the board's sidecut, wood core, contact points, and the tip and tail design it makes riding a lot more fluid and easy!
True Twin – A true twin snowboard shape is ideal for riders who want to ride switch or play in the park. The nose and tail are identical and the flex is evenly distributed throughout the entirety of the board. True twins are perfectly symmetrical.
Core
Paulownia – Incredible, ultra-lightweight, strong and poppy. Growing up to 20 feet a year once harvested, it grows back out of its own stump, making it extremely renewable.
Great Lakes Aspen – Light, strong, smooth riding, higher density Aspen.
Rocky Mtn Aspen – Very light dry climate Aspen with a crisp, poppy feel
Laminates
Liquid Crystal Polymer – Polymer is put through a high-heat tempering process that aligns molecules to create extremely strong polymer chains. For you this makes for a smooth, strong, poppy and lightweight board!
Sidewalls
UHMW External Sidewalls – Ultra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.
Base
Sintered Base – Fast, tough, maximum wax retention
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Edges
Magne-Traction™ .5 – The hot commodity in edge-technology; Magne-Traction maximizes your edge hold between your feet so you have better control and stability even on the iciest slopes. Magne-Traction varies in the serration depending on the board; regardless it will deliver a catch free ride any day. Magne-Traction™ features 7 strategically located and sized bumps along each side of your sidecut.

Terrain:
Freestyle, All-Mountain

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
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
