Best of season 06/07: Gnu Riders Choice Magne-traction
After riding the Burton Custom for the last couple of years (every available length from 155 up to 158) I decided to try something else. And after some incouraging tips and a lot of thinking I finally bought the Gnu Riders Choice Magnetraction 161.5. I must say that I was a bit skeptic in the beginning. Magne-traction – what’s the deal? I mean it just looks really weird…
But after scanning the internet for tips and reviews I began to understand that this must be the shit!
After just one or two days with my new board I realised that I’d probably stick with magne-traction as long as possible. It’s so amazingly good!!
It holds really good on the slopes as well as on more icy parts. It’s light, got a lot of pop and is really stable even at high speed. The only problem I’ve had with my Gnu is that it doesn’t really do well in powder. While riding almost a meter of fresh pow pow in Val Thorens I really had to work hard to make the board turn. In that condition I must say that my Custom 158 from -05 performed better. But otherwise, you can’t really beat my new Gnu!
My friend Johan have written some posts here at KiNK earlier, now he’s back to contribute even more and I thought it would be in place to present him. So any well-written posts in the future is probably his.
I like the commercial for the Nissan Qashqai that runs on the tv right now (at least in Sweden). In the commercial the Nissan Qashqai is used as a skateboard and some “giant” is doing some pretty cool stuff with it. Watch the commercial below.
Here’s an entire snowboarding and skateboarding video to watch online. It’s called ‘NUF and is a Hillton production. Don’t know to much about them but the video looks pretty nice.
Windlip Snowboards is a small company that have only one production model but they build custom snowboards based on you and your wishes. All boards are hand crafted and you will receive your board within three weeks from when they’ve received your order and graphics.
