Set Up of the Minute with Drew

What do you do on a snow day? Well, you go and grab yourself a new snowboard. Drew here has been eying this park pickle and he finally scooped it up. He added some flow M9 binders and a vans Matlock boot, and now he is ready for the mountain. So enjoy the "Pickle Power" and have fun out in the snow. Thanks

The Park Pickle from GNU with PTX

Then green machine is back. Gnu's world famous park pickle is back on the shelves at Alpine. You may remember this deck last season as it was a mid season release.It was only offered in a 156 last season. Now it is available in all sizes.
GNU took the ever popular skate banana and added a steeper sidecut on the backside edge. You may remember Santa Cruz doing this on snowboards a few seasons ago. It allows the rider an easier transition onto the heel making it easier to ride switch and to spin into tricks. So don't buy it just because it looks sick.
Pickle technology (PTX). Ask for it at Alpine!

Gnu Park Pickle 09

PTX is in the house. That is correct, Alpine is the proud owner of 4 new Pickle technology decks from gnu. What makes these different from the lib skate banana you ask? It's the heel side edge. There is a defined heel side edge on this deck that has a deeper side cut, so it's easier to hook up turns. Only available in a 156 for the moment, this deck is pretty sweet. Stop in and check these beauties out. They will not be around for long.

Gnu Park Pickle 09

I must say that I like getting my info direct from the rep and feeding it out, not the other way around. I heard of this deck a couple of months ago from my rep. I kind of forgot about it until I saw it on Shay's blog post. I called my rep immediately and told him I needed this deck. He was allotted 50 to sell along the east coast. I was able to procure 4 of them. They will only be coming in one size, that is a 156. Since it's BTX, it can be ridden a little smaller.

This board will also utilize a steeper side cut on its backside edge; something Santa Cruz has been using in its twins for years. This board should be in before the first of the year. I will keep everyone posted.
