The Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX 2010 snowboard is back and has already picked up two awards for the 2010 season; Snowboard-Mag 2010 Excellence in Board design and TransWorld Snowboarding 2010 Good Wood Test. For those of you who have not rode a Lib Tech board, this is one you need to try.
The 2010 Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX has the “Banana Tech”, which basically gives you a a ton of control and feel between your feet. This snowboard rides catch-free and is loose even though you will notice that the tip and tail are pretty stiff. I think a lot of the Jib riders are really going to love this board, as the stiff tip and tail are going to make pressing off the boxes and rails a lot easier and then the low spin weight of this Lib Tech board are going to make it a ton of fun.
Overall the Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX is going to make your 2010 season a ton of fun no matter if it is hitting the park, just ripping up the mountain or cruising in the powder as this board can do it all.

I tested this board over the summer and it is a lot of fun.
I personally found the rocker a little too exaggerated compared with other rocker varieties out there right now, but tried it with some of the new ride ‘wedged’ bindings and that sorted everything out nicely giving a better feel to the board. Magnatraction edges seemed to do the trick in the early morning ice too, and this thing hugged the pipe wall. As the above review mentions the nose and tail are pretty stiff and suits the board well.
My only problem with this board, and unfortunately it is a big one, is the base. My god that thing is slow! Regardless of wax, I really noticedReally lets down what is otherwise a really fun board, sort it out Lib Tech!
I just began riding, but love this board already. I have the 2009! It has excellent control and stability. I was told this was an excellent board to learn on which is definitely true and it’s excellent craftmanship will ride me up to the next level. I love it, I won’t have to go out and buy a new board when I really move forward with my boarding. Excellent investment!
this board is just amazing. i purchased it and i probably will never buy another board till i outgrow it. once i do outgrow it i will definately buy another lib tech. maybe a banana attack or whatever new skate banana they have out in 3 or 4 years.
