ALL MOUNTAIN / DIRECTIONAL SHAPE
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

This marks the final countdown to my board search of all things radiant and radical. A charger and stable and fun and pretty. I can’t stop staring at it in line, outta line, on the line. Who knew snowboarding could be this fun again and again. This board is the one I’ve been looking for. Fast times at Groomer Ridge times. Can’t wait for a pow float on this thing. My 40’s are radical when I’m banked country.
Its playfulness adds a vibrant energy to every ride. From quick spring loaded turns to playful maneuvers, the board responds with enthusiasm, creating a lively and fun experience. Whether I'm hammering through groomers on the way to find powder or riding powder the Banked Country's playful nature makes it a fantastic choice for riders seeking a dynamic and energetic rear foot focused ride.
This board can handle anything you throw at it. From technical runs to booming groomers. You can really feel the camber under foot, while it’s heavy, it has real good pop. I’m 6’2 170 lbs size 12 boot riding the 163 wide and this thing is a beast. Only down side is it’s weight, doesn’t get as much air but that’s the price you pay for one of the stiffest boards on the market. Keep it up GNU, love this one!
This season I decided to reduce my quiver to basically one board. This is the board I ride every day in all conditions. It rips it all! Love this board! Thank you Mervin
this board is an absolute machine!... rips through every terrain like a hot knife slicing butter! super flowty in Pow, even in tracked snow you just boost over the bumbs whikle loughing, rips the slopes... you can defenitly feel the Mag Pro while carving (specially on the back foot).. endless speed in the end of youre turn! Designe is soooooo sick!!! cant stop stare at it.... All Day - Awesome
