Snowboard Review:

Pipe, Kickers, Powders and Pistes, the Travis Rice dominates every part of snowboarding. Up the pipe walls the medium/firm torsional and longitudinal flex and Magnetraction edges provided ample grip and slightly tail heavy landings were popped back into the vert in a forgiving manner. Hitting kickers the rocker profile provided a buttery feel through frontside spins providing plenty of pop and forgiving landings, backside spins initiated easily and carving into backside spins resulted in a less aggressive toeside carve through the kicker,  perfect for powder or summer camp kickers. In the air the blunted tip and tail reduced swing weight. Blasting down the pistes the rocker profile put me at ease, gone are the days of catching edges at the speed of sound. Despite being only 157 the Trice certainly rode more like a 159 providing more stability at speed than it’s length would suggest. Carves initiated easily and riding the Trice aggressively rewarded me with great acceleration out of carves. In deeper snow the rocker profile kept the nose well out of harms way, even with a nearly centred stance. The Trice wasn’t too stiff to butter around the pistes and even locked onto a variety of board slides and presses on down rails and boxes.

If you’re looking for aboard to ride all conditions and all disciplines you can’t go wrong with the Trice. Anyone from a seasoned rider to an intermediate learning to spin on 3 meter tables will love riding the Lib Tech Travis Rice. In the words of Gold Member, ‘It’s a keeper’.
