Lib Tech Travis Rice Goldmember 159 2021 Snowboard

Performance and power for committed lines in the world’s gnarliest terrain

Travis pushes the evolution on snow and with his boards. The Goldmember's Firepower construction is the direct result of his desire for ultralight tip/tails and mid-section of the board while retaining stability for the most demanding terrain. The Goldmember is ready for whatever line you and Travis are.

Riding Style
A freestyle/freeride board for intermediate to advanced riders. Highest premium performance for backcountry and powder, but also unbeatable as an all-mountain board for your daily snowboarding.

Shape
This directional shape provides you with some extra float in the powder and excellent switch riding capabilities. Due to the setback of the bindings towards the tail, the nose gets a little bit longer. However, the nose and the tail are equally wide, so landing switch is no problem. The Magne-Traction® serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain, especially on hard pack and ice.

Profile
C2x means short rocker between the bindings combined with large camber sections under the bindings. This combination offers good edge hold thanks to the camber underfoot, as well as great float in powder and unlimited freestyle action without hang-ups thanks to the rocker.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.

Construction
The Firepower Construction FP is the ultimate Lib Tech construction design: lighter, environmentally nicer, smoothest. The core consists of 50% Aspen and 40% Paulownia wood for the smoothest riding core with reduced weight and vibration. Additional 10% Balsa wood reduces the weight even more. Tri-Ax Glass and Basalt add stiffness and precision to the board. The Sintered Eco Sublimated Base is very fast but requires careful maintenance.
The top sheet is made of Eco Sublimated Bio Beans. The UHMW Sintered Sidewalls are a Lib Tech innovation. Twice as sintered as any other sidewalls, tough, fast, hard, waterproof, handsome and light. NO TOXIC ABS! As edges do not go throughout at tip and tail, these areas are protected by a UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection system to avoid damage. The Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail gives the board an extra portion freestyle performance.
