GNU Carbon Credit Series BTX - 2010

Just ordered this from the US it seems like an incredible board for the price.
As soon as it arrives I will give it a spin at Castleford. Should be two weeks from now.

Yeah serious bargain this year, with Mag & Banana tech! How much did you pay? How much was postage? Did you get slammed on the tax?

I got this board from my local board shop for £310 and is easily the most fun and forgiving board I’ve ever used. With Salomon Relay bindings its a rail monster!
Only thing I have found is the top sheet scratches quite easily…

Just grabbed this board up a couple of nights ago and I love it! I work up at one of the ski resorts and this board is perfect for the icy conditions on the way to my lifts in the mornings and amazing in the slush on the way down in the afternoon. This thing Just floats on powder and is really quite responsive in all conditions. The magnatraction grabs like none other and the rocker performs to perfection plus I only paid $200 for it brand spankin new!!! How could you pass it up. I’ve Been riding a 2009 never summer sl r all season but I think I really like this board even more!!! Happy hunting
