Libtech Super Progressive Air Machine (Pinky Board) 157 Snowboard Review 2018-2019

TESTER: John Reed

BOARD: Libtech Super Progressive Air Machine (Pinky Board) 157

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  6

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: I rode this board twice because I liked it so much. I like the stiffness, the shape, and the camber profile.

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: I just get lost with all of the “technology” going on in the board. The reason I like it are simple– the shape, camber, and stiffness. I get lost in the Lib/Gnu wavy/camber technology speak.

OVERALL COMMENTS: When a board saves you from eating it hard, you automatically like it. I was able to put the back edge down hard and it held, or I would have wrecked myself, so I like this board. I rode it again on day three, and I liked it a lot again.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY: I feel like the marketing hoopla is aimed at a younger/newer audience. As I’ve gotten older, I appreciate less, not more.
