Gnu B-Nice MTX
~2008 Womens Good Wood Board Test
Built to be an all-mountain freestyle shredder, the twin shape's centered sidecut, Magne-Traction edges, and soft flex were real tester pleasers. Dig the Starbucksy graphics.
Tester feedback:
"Super fun board on all features and great edge to edge. I would ride this board on everything"
"This board was really easy to control in the park and pretty stable. Good on jumps and I was surprised how well it did on rails."

Top Five Pipe Boards
Gnu Danny Kass MTX
~2008 Mens Good Wood Board
This is Kass' main ride-he's a Magne-Traction addict. The wavy edges allow this board to hold an edge like a race board, but flex like a jib stick-it's a best-of-both-worlds scenario. The board is directional with a speedy sintered 9900 base.
Tester feedback:
"This board makes everything fun with perfect flex and pop!"
"It held its edge really well. It rode like a big board in the pipe and a little jib board everywhere else."
