GNU Impossible A.S.S. Pickle Snowboard

MSRP: : $799.95	FOR: Neutral	Lengths: 152, 155, 159
Where to Buy :  AMAZON

The GNU Impossible Asym Sym Sync Pickle by far has the longest name in snowboarding history, but there is a reason for that. This snowboard has more technology in it then any board GNU has ever produced. The Impossible starts with the Elliptical C2 Twin Asymmetric Banana Camber which combines camber underneath your feet with rocker in between you get the best of both worlds. Asym Columbian Gold Eco Core is extremely light, strong and poppy is the perfect foundation for performance snowboards. Blended in magnesium fiber adds to lightweight feature and brings even more pop to The Impossible. Magnesium Fiberglass gives the Impossible a lightweight boost of pop and response. Bio Beans Topsheet is an environmentally friendly topsheet that has the highest strength to weight ratio. Take the Impossible out on the mountain and link some turn together and you will feel a state of euphoria we like to call Imperceptible Perfection. Everything is possible with the Impossible.

Impossible A.S.S. Pickle. Never mind its hilarious designation, the A.S.S. Pickle is packed with technology. Riding across the flat bottom of a pipe, you’ve probably noticed that it’s a lot easier to keep your speed up on your toeside compared with your heelside, that’s because of the body’s natural asymmetry. Gnu’s A.S.S. technology works to balance this asymmetry through asymmetrical toe and heel sidecuts, contacts and shape, while the tip and tail are symmetrical. When your board works with your body’s mechanics not only is it easier to turn, but it’s also easier to pop and float through deep snow. This board also incorporates Gnu’s proven EC2BTX (Elliptical C2 Twin symmetric) Banana Camber and Magne-Traction. Psychedelic graphics court esy of Gnu art director Tim Karpinski. Ride this board, and as the slogan goes, “Get weird!”
