Lib tech?!

I've never tried them personally, but they look weird and I'm scared. Also, I'm not sure if I really buy there whole wavy concept. I'll leave that to Max B.
 
i havent ridden them, but my best friend has one of there skate banana snowboards, with magne traction, sais it is the best board he has ever riddin and wont go to anything else unless he is getting them for free. theidea behind it is really good. id ride them
 
magnetraction is not so much a revolution when it comes to skis, as it is to boards. The reason being that boarders only have 2 edges whereas skiers have 4 edges to work with. Is it really necessary to have better edge grip, are regular edges not sufficient.

I am more excited about other ski technology such as Butter Zones, Rocker, Reverse sidecut, Armada's new Elf Shoe tech and I think these have had a greater impact on skiing than magnetraction. Personally I would spend my money elsewhere.Plus I hear their skis are all pretty damn stiff...

 
i ride lib tech skis...and i will never ride anything else. They are very light and the magne traction holds better than a race ski, not exaggerating. They are a perfect ski for me since i like to ride some all mountain along with park and i like a stiff ski. This is a perfect east coast ski. Its not great in powder since it is not the fattest ski in the world and it has low tips (found that kinda odd). The magne traction is amazing, i spent 3 days at killington when it rained during the day and froze overnight so it was all ice.....everyone i was with was bitching about the conditions i was having the time of my life since my skis were great in ice. These are also amazing carving skis. since you have those multiple points of contact on the snow you can lean so far into your turns without sliding at all. When i bought these i was on the edge about it since i thought that the edges might catch on boxes and rails because they are so wavy but i was wrong....i have never caught on a box or rail and i have never de-tuned my edges. If you live in the east and will not ski waist deep pow everday and you like a stiff ski these are the ski for you. The only downside to these skis is the topsheets chip kinda easily but thats not a big problem. I assume that lib tech has toughened up the topsheets this year. I have the 07 striped man NAS. If you have any questions about lib's skis just shoot me a pm
