On the left;
This years. Lib tech magne traction 156 w/ Burton Cartel bindings

on the right;
Last years. Lib tech Dave Lee 156 w/Drake f60’s

you can’t tell from the pic, but the white one has serrated edges. shit is fucking awesome, I will never buy a non-magne traction board again, unless I’m out west where i’d just have a big powder cruiser

here my 151cm Morrow board and Burton boots, andBurton Freestyle bindings…

sucks i can’t board anymore this season due to knee surgery last week :frowning:

ah, shitty. ACL?

^^^nope, i smashed my knee a few years ago, then got misdiagnosed, turns our a piece of my knee cap broke off and has been sliding around inside my knee=OUCH

so i was gonna get it removed, but they couldnt once then got inside, it had gotten attached to my MCL with connective tissue and they didnt want to risk getting it out cuz i wouldnt have been walking normally for a longer time.

Atomic Alibi 159cm with Atomic Bindings/ Burton Boots.

155 burton cruizer w/burton mission bindings

Main ride: Lib Tech Jamie Lynn 151, Ride LS bindings (been riding K2 baseless for about the past 10 years, finally made the switch, soooooo much nicer, but the feel of rails on baseless bindings was f’n sweet) And ol skool DC lupine boots.

Rail board: Lib Tech Jaimie Lynn mini 141, w/k2 baseless binders. :slight_smile:

ride atomic 154cm with burton freestyle v11

Just curious, but does the magnetraction make that much a difference?

Can you still carve on ice with completely detuned edges? Like they claim? And does it affect slides and other shit?

I am j ust curious, because I know LibTech makes a ski now, and I’m pretty interested in hearing more about this. Because with park skis, your edges are typically completely shot after about a week of riding park. And I can’t turn for shit on ice as is.

I hear the magnetraction is way good.

As for my setup:

Lib Tech Jamie Lynn 157
Ride SPi Pro Limited Edition Bindings
DC revolution boots (dying to dump these for some Vans)

Burton 156 CustomX w/Mission Bindings & Ion Boots

2003-04 UNINC 156
p1md Bindings
Prions

162 k2 Nemesis, ride ls bindings, salomon maori boots.

uhhhhhh, so many ppl rocking LibTechs, hotness. Anyone remember the ol skool ones with the fucked up bends in tip and tail. They bent up to like a 90 degree angle (like the ol skool jamie lynns and matt cummings boards)

Ride Team Bindings

and i cant find the pic of my board, but it is a nitro 156 metal with burton boots.

I am going to need a new board for next year though, maybe i will join the lib tech group. Especially if the serrated edges provide that much better ice handling.

Option 163 Signature series
Llamar Bindings
Burton Shaun White Boots

Wooks well for me seeing it’s my first season learning; going to upgrade the bindings at least next year.

yea the magne traction really does make a huge difference. you can really put down a carve on ice. i think this is the direction for snowboarding.

pretty much all lib tech, gnu, and roxy (girls boards put out by the same manufacturer; Mervin, as Quicksilver owns all 3 companies) will have magne traction next year

we will be carrying the magne traction skis next season, too.

i’m also a big fan of the new burton cap strap. feels significantly more comfortable. plus you can ride your ankle strap a little bit more loose since the cap strap really holds you in.

next year, for the p1’s, p1 carbon, c60, and c02, they’re going to have the supercap strap, which is a bit different profile, and has a piece that goes underneath also. just holds the boot in even better

plus those bindings will all have gel pads in the heel. ooooh

I’m picking up a pair the day they come out. :tup:

Proba new deck next year too. Maybe.

holla at your boy if you need that snowboaridng gear hookup

Who do you work for???
