GNU Park Pickle - 2012

This year the Park Pickle picked up a Transworld Good Wood award and a Snowboard Magazine Best of Test award, considering it hasn’t changed in 2012 I’m wondering what it did to offend the judges in previous years? The key to the pickle is its playful Banana rocker profile, Magne-Traction edges and crucially the asymmetrical twin shape which has a tighter sidecut on the heels for improved heelside carving without the need for cranking up the forward lean on your bindings. The Park Pickle is a freestyle snowboard not too dissimilar to its cousin the Lib Tech Skate Banana but with a little something extra.

Manufacturer's Description:

The Park Pickle takes the next step in snowboard specific geometries. Banana between your feet for easy riding, catch-free park freestyle performance, and unreal float in powder. Magne-Traction for unreal edge-hold everywhere. Asymmetric sidecuts and construction to balance the different turning mechanics required for heel side turns and toe side turns. Your body is asymmetric, your snowboard should be asymmetric. Park Pickles with a deeper heel side sidecut and unique asym core, are designed around progressive riding and modern freestyle duck stances in all terrain. Hand built by snowboarders
