Lib Tech TRS_C2_BTX - 2011
The Lib-Tech TRS does exactly what it says on the label, it’s a total ripper. Lib-Tech designed the TRS for strong, aggressive riders looking for a board to kill the need for a quiver and give excellent performance all over the mountain. The TRS is fast, powerful, grippy and poppy but can still be buttered around the park and pressed on boxes and rails. This year the TRS comes with Lib-Tech’s C2 camber/rocker profile which has added a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to the boards’ performance (also know as pop Tom) and earned Lib Tech another Good Wood award for the trophy cabinet.
Manufacturer's Description:
Designed and ridden in the pipe, park, and all over the mountain by Eric Jackson, Sammy Luebke, Jakob Wilhelmson, and Martin Cernik.
The 2011 TRS comes with a C2 Power Banana profile. C2 Power Banana is designed for aggressive all terrain freestyle riders and features Banana Tech (Rocker) between your feet, combined with camber at the nose and tail. This Banana/Camber combination offers the best features of Banana Tech (float in powder in both directions, carving on hardpack and ice and catch-free freestyle performance) it also combines the best features of Camber (end-to-end stability, extra pop, solid landings for strong aggressive riders).

I’ve been looking at several rocker camber or hybrid camber boards and I’m stuck on the best option. I’ve narrowed the search to the Lib Tech TRS C2 BTX - 2011, but have concerns over the rocker btwn the feet on flat/hardpack sections. I read that it gets pretty squirrely. I also have been looking at the Travis Rice C2 Blunt, Never Summer SL-R, YES Optimistic, Jones the mountain twin.
I’m looking for an all mountain board, intermediate level 5+ yrs, not much jibbing, but like to play around in park. I have a gnu twin now.
Let me know what you think.

Hi Dave,
Any board that pivots at the centre of the board is going to feel a little squirly on hardpack on a flat base but I think if you have 5 years experience it’s nothing that you won’t adjust too fairly quickly. The TRS and Travis Rice are pretty similar boards, I’ve ridden the TRavis Rice 157 Blunt and it was damp, solid and lively, great fun for riding agressively around the whole mountain but also worked nicely in the park. The Never Summer SL is a bit damper and a bit more effort to work but I think it’s a great board for strong freeriders who want to ride jumps too but really love charging. The YES and JOnes boards use camber between the feet and rocker at the tips. On hard pistes this technology does feel a touch more grounded and stable, there is also a lot more control at the feet. In powder they float amazingly and bounce off pillows and snap into cut backs, a really great effortless feeling. The nose and tail are a touch more buttery but don’t pop as much as C2 rocker/camber which pops nicely from ollies and snaps more out of turns like conventional camber. Both are fun… but different. If you can test one of each hybrid, I’d definitely try before you buy.

Been looking for a good all mountain free style board. I first bought the Burton custom, but was disappointed by it’s poor edge hold. Switched to Lib Tech TRS C2 BTX 2011. This board is phenomenal!!! Even though it’s a cambered hybrid, it can handle aggressive high speed carving like a cambered free ride board and it’s edge hold is the best out there. I tested it over hard ice sheets and it held it’s edge without any problem, even during aggressive turns. The magna-traction edges from Lib Tech really works as promised!! It is a fast board, has lots of pop , very responsive and great with landing big jumps. Still it is soft enough to jib around, hit rails and butter. Definitely a real all mountain board that can handle both park and steeps!! btw, I did not feel that it was squirrely. I ride in new england over ice sheets. This thing is stable and can definitely handle hard pack.
