THE HIGH-TECH BOARD FOR DEMANDING ALL-MOUNTAIN RIDERS. The Banked Country is the ultimate resort shred board for advanced riders who are constantly watching the weather and hoping for loads of powder, but still shred every day no matter what the conditions are. Designed by Temple Cummins and his son Cannon, this is a fantastic father-son project. A refined high-performance all-mountain board for progressive riders.Riding styleAn all-mountain/freeride board for advanced riders. This board is perfect for fast turns on the piste and in the backcountry. It offers plenty of float in deep powder and reliable performance and stability in challenging terrain.ShapeWith the directional shape the nose is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly offset to the back. This increases the stability at higher speeds and the uplift in powder. The new Directional Progressive Pro Magne Traction® technology is a combination of a radial sidecut from the nose to the middle of the board and serrated edges from the middle to the tail. This provides a smooth ride at the front of the board and a powerful, grippy edge hold in the tail. Similar to the fins of a surfboard.ProfileThe C3 profile is a classic camber profile with a slight rocker between the bindings. This provides precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The mild rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more uplift than conventional camber profiles. FlexThe stiff flex provides you with absolute running smoothness and stability at high speeds, giving you a precise ride feel and a lot of pop. ConstructionThe G3 Lite construction is environmentally friendly, robust and Gnu's lightest construction design. The core of aspen and paulownia wood is very light, sustainable, robust and poppy. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the woodcore and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The sintered base is very fast and stays that way if you take good care of it.
