The GNU Altered Genetics
Freestyle snowboards aren't known for their grip—terrain parks usually reward flex instead—but the Gnu Altered Genetics uses a serrated steel edge underfoot to provide amazing control. Called Magne Traction, it gives the board a versatility that can take you from a rail slide to the iciest couloir.
Grand Prix Update
Kaitlyn Farrington and Lizzy Beerman both competed in the Grand Prix, and it's obvious both have been training with the US Team. It's a new season, and as US Rookie team members these girls have progressed to a new level. I can't wait to watch this year unfold, because I think it holds great things for both of them. Lizzy rode strong and solid all through practice, but had a couple wobbles in the qualifiers, so she didn't make finals.
Kaitlyn rode really well all day, and showed that she's not intimidated by the heavy competition field. Qualifying 3rd in her heat, she went on to make finals and finished 6th! Both Lizzy and Kaitlyn were testing out the 0809 B-nice mtx boards, and the feedback was... they love them! -B.
