Gnu Park Pickle / JANUARY 05 2009 We just unwrapped, 6 new Gnu Park pickles and this is the raddest snowboard I've ever seen. First of all it has all the sick mervin extras, magne-traction and banana tech. Both technologies are revolutionizing the snowboard industry..every single company in 2008 made a reverse/anitcamber/banana tech board in their lineup. The craziest thing about the park pickle is the heelside sidecut is 12% deeper than the toeside. Thinking that it takes more effort to make a heelside turn than a toeside turn. now you can lay it over like peter bauer, but on a park whip. Granted this isn't the first round of asymetrical side cuts, nitro and santa cruz & burton had asym boards, but none were twin tip asym. Anyway I'm stoked to see it back again. Peep the EB youtube video explaining a little more about the board. it is available in our wEBstore for purchase as well as regular shops. SNOW
