Product Information:
View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)- The Gnu™ Park Pickle 150 BTX snowboard provides an easy riding, catch-free park freestyle performance with unbelievable float in powder.
- The awesome board graphics are designed by Gnu director Tim "Pinski" Karpinski.
- Banana Tech is an all-terrain rocker that places the control specifically between your feet where it belongs. The full tip-to-tail edge contact makes every ride incredibly easy from hitting the hard pack to gliding on fresh powder.
- The Magne-Traction board has seven contact points, compared to conventional skis and snowboards that only have two. Control comes from under your feet, giving you better edge hold, and if your two outside contact points lose grip, you've still got five more to take over. The serrated edges give better hold on icy pipes and turn ice into powder.
- Pickle Tech asymmetric sidecuts and construction balance the different turning mechanics required for heelside and toe side turns.
- The ultra-lightweight rugged "polymer bumper" has sandwich construction on the tip and tails. Steel edges are used for control along the contact area and are tucked in just past the contacts.
- Asymmetrical Twin Shape combines a symmetrical nose and tail ship with asymmetrical sidecuts. Heel-side sidecut features a slightly tighter radius than toe-side, which helps offset the difference in heel and toe agility.
- Sintered 9900 Alloy Base is a continuous compression formed for molecular elongation, preserving its amorphous polymer structure, for maximum wax absorption and durability.
- Quasi Glass is a four-way fiber orientation 0/45/45/90. Triaxial and biaxial glass combo for max pop and control. Vectran liquid crystal polymer was developed as the fiber foundation for inter-planetary Mars lander tires and has 10 times the strength of titanium.
- Tough EISS 9 UHMW sidewalls on the exterior are laminated to 9 layers of endgrain birch on the inside and offer ultra-light spin weight. Performance is great both on and off the snow.
- AGA2 Sustainable Woodcore is a perfect combination of aspen wood,an even more ultra-lightweight, genetically-altered wood core and EISS9. This lightweight wood is considered nature's fiberglass and is built into the core of the snowboard for long-lasting durability.

"We Build Our Own Damn Boards" isn't just a slogan for Gnu® snowboards; it's a way of life. Based out of Carlsborg, Washington, snowboarders at Gnu have been carefully hand building high performance snowboards for the past twenty-five years. The nearby Olympic and Cascade Mountain Ranges gives them ample opportunity to try out their latest innovations.
Manufactured by Mervin Manufacturing, which is the longest running and last major snowboard factory in the USA, Gnu® snowboards continue to keep its pulse close to the snowboarding community. And since Mervin is managed and staffed by snowboarders, the company continues to innovate and experiment with new ideas to make the rider experience better and better.
Mervin’s "build, ride, refine" philosophy has created many important developments in snowboard evolution. The use of sidecuts to create edgehold and turning ability were first introduced by snowboard pioneer Mike Olson. The latest technology has been the creation of the Magne-Traction that makes snowboards easier to ride and improves overall performance. Their Banana technology continues to create better rocker control, tip-to-tail contact and improved gripping so the snowboarder controls the ice and not the other way around.
Mervin Manufacturing also strides to be an environmentally-sound company by working with water-based solvents and renewable fast-growing forest products. Wood dust is even recycled and scrap wood is sold for kindling. Mervin Manufacturing continues to move forward to be the leading snowboard company with a clean environmental conscience.
