Magne-Traction from Lib Technologies
by Jeff Boos
late winter 2007
Magne-traction from Lib Tech is the most innovative idea to be introduced to the
snow industry in decades. Magne-traction refers to the edges on LTN snowboards,
snowskates and N.A.S.(narrow ass snowboards) or as some call them skis! Magne-traction
is 7 specialized bumps strategically sized and placed along each side of your
sidecut. MT is from the mind of Steven Cobb technormous bro-knowlogist at Lib
Tech.
MT has many advantages over the dull and ordinary edges of yesteryear,
especially here in the "ICY" east coast. Some of the advantages of MT are better
control, better edgehold, better turns, better jibbing, freestyle, less catchty/sensitive
tip/tail and generally more responsive/easier to ride. One of the best things
about MT is that the extra edgehold you get allows you to ride your board
de-tuned for the park/rails and still make killer turns on the mountain.
Magne-traction on the contest scene just stepped up the game with LT ripper
Travis Rice who has won on the Magne-traction, THE 2007 US OPEN slopestyle, 2006
x-trail in Japan, 2006 icer air, as well as Silver at the x -games 2007,and 2cd
at the 2006 nokia air style in Germany. Other Magne-traction rippers include
Sammy Luebke, Eric Jackson, Mark Landvik, Mike DeStasio, JamieLynn, Jeff Boos,
Curtis Ciszek and more.
