Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Banana was the best 'emperor's new clothes' in any sport, for years. People even put up with the front of their boards de-laminating, saying it was a small price to pay for riding a banana. FAF.
Liked that Bob, thanks

the rocker as an idea is excellent, it really does make a difference if you board like a flea circus. The rocker is not going to magically make you board like a flea circus though.

So doesn't Banana tech work then?
What about Magna traction?

i dont believe in magna traction, but then I dont believe in edges or base repairs so ignore me.
The rocker works for sure if you can board already, if you are learning I suspect it will make learning easier but would maybe teach you a sloppy style lacking in full on euro carve action.
The thing that gets me with lib tech is they bang on about banana this and that when its just a rocker, maybe they were the 1st high profile board with it but its not unique to that board anymore. And I dont like the burton ad they run which uses a steaming dog shite in the shape of the burton process sign, cant see how they get away with that to be honest. Seems like the more they hate on burton the more popular they get, like if you too hate corporate snowboarding ride a banana.

Libtech are coporate snowboarding just under a different guise from their slighty naff Quiksilver parent - heck until this year they were a sister co to Rossi, Dynastar et al.

I personally think reverse camber will die out again, maybe it will stay on some pure off piste boards and some insane jib machines but normal boards will go back to camber once people miss their pop from the camber boards.
I'm all about the reverse camber at the moment just because I like to board in a buttery stylee and have a no good for off piste centred stance.

Remember when large tennis rackets got introduced, the hard core players said they were for beginners, because they made the game easier! What do they use now?
Cracking video Grommit! But I'm sure he mentioned Stalin at one point, but the translation didn't tell us what Stalin was riding this season. Probably a Guelag dissident 155 with the Politburo hybrid core and the vodka topsheet, plus some steezy Grozny bindings!
