As a brand that symbolizes the American snowboarding scene, "GNU" has been loved by snowboarders all over the world for about 1970 years since the start of the late 40s.The board will be produced at the Marvin Factory on the environmentally friendly Olympic Peninsula, Washington, with state-of-the-art technology.An innovative brand that has always been a leader in the scene with stylish riders such as Forest Bailey, Nicolas Müller and Jamie Anderson. BANANA technology, magnetism, asymmetrical design ... The latest technology introduced by GNU has always had a big impact on the times and has supported the progress of many snowboarders.This time, we will thoroughly analyze two professional models developed by Forest Bailey, who is a rider representing the team and is known as a jib master, with different concepts.
HEAD SPACE
Asymmetrical side curves and internal structure can be easily handled by anyone
Jib board that brings out excellent controllability
HEAD SPACE is a professional model of Forest Bailey, a rider who represents the team and is known as a jib master.The biggest feature is that it has a twin shape, but it has an asymmetrical design.It has different side curves on the toe side and heel side, and the arrangement of the magnetic traction edges is also asymmetric.The composition of the core material is also different on the toe side and heel side, adjusting the lateral flex by combining different wood, and improving the controllability of the turn to the back side by making the core material on the heel side a little softer. I'm letting you. HEAD SPACE adopts "C3 camber".The entire board has a large camber, and the center part is combined with a slight mild rocker to make it easier to control using the edges firmly, while supporting more aggressive movements.A high-speed sintered base is used for the sole to support outstanding gliding performance.
The introduction of these various technologies creates sticky repulsion and sharpness, enables controllability, beautiful carving and high ollie, and also demonstrates outstanding levitation performance with powder.As an asymmetric board, it has a very high degree of perfection, and both the back side and front side can smoothly enter the carving turn, and the stability during the turn is also good. A freestyle board with a lot of all-roundness, saying, "Aggressively enjoy playing in the terrain and attack the park."Forest Bailey's artwork is designed on both the deck and sole to create an attractive board.
SPACE CASE
Bold asymmetrical design further improves carving sharpness
A carving board that creatively attacks the entire mountain
SPACE CASE also adopts an asymmetrical design.The setback has a zero twin shape (the top and tail have the same shape), but while the HEAD SPACE is asymmetrical to the core and side curves, this is the toe side and heel side up to the edge contact position. I am changing with.The heel side has a soft core material and a deep side curve so that it can be smoothly inserted by the back side turn.Three types of wood materials are combined on the heel side of the core material to make a more delicate balance adjustment.Also, because it uses the finest core, the swing weight is very light, it is super lightweight and has an excellent pop feeling.This SPACE CASE adopts a twin camber-shaped "C3X".The center is rocker-shaped, the front and back are camber-shaped, and the nose and tail are slightly floating.This shape allows for streets, parks, powders, and carving and creative gliding.
While HEAD SPACE features an easy part that anyone can ride, SPACE CASE is a special carving board that pursues further turn performance.In addition, the finish is a blend of all-round freestyle board elements that enable aggressive tricks.Generally speaking, many people think that the rider's signature model is "difficult", but like the HEAD SPACE, this SPACE CASE is very easy to handle and has a charm that makes you addicted to it as soon as you ride it.Please try both models.
