Kind of off topic but just a reminder. This guy is 44, broke his back and rides a Yes Basic for everything. I don’t need a new snowboard.

The MFM of Europe.. Still killing it with steeze.

"Surprise hit: GNU Banked Country 155. Stable, solid but not too stiff, turns incredibly well in all kinds of snow. More pop than I expected but so smooth and comfortable to ride at speed. Minimal input for maximal output. It can absolutely rail carves and I didn't need to do a bunch of hand jive to make it work. Very very enjoyable board and I’m basically a magne-hater. The base looked pretty dry but was easily the fastest of the three boards I tried."

Very well put and mirrors my opinion 100%. I'm in my third year of riding a 159 and it's a freight train at speed or on steeps, but somehow it's still fun going slower. I had a Billy Goat back in the day too, which I liked, but the Banked Country blows that right off the hill. I can't imagine anyone not liking the BC except for maybe a jib kid.

I guess I should be on a 159 but I'm slightly concerned it will be too stiff. The 155 I demoed was fine but I'd need something bigger for deep snow.

I’ve spent some time on the Banked Country 60w and love it way more than I expected to.
