Ok I know I could search elsewhere for this information but I prefer to keep this thread alive with banter and discussion up until the snow starts falling.
Skate Banana and Park Pickle, what's the difference? Sawtell?
%10 on orders over $1000 (AUD) from overseas is correct.
lol it depends on the time of release, anything from before mid '10, is exactly the same, except the park picke has a weird side cut, meaning the cut on your heel side, is different to the cut on your toe side, they did this, as their "research" showed that you turn harder on your heals, so you need less cut to make the turns even... its a complete gimmick, if it meant anything ALOT of other brands would be doing it, espeicaly with their alpine/raceboards... not on their fuckin park boards!!
from mid 2010 onwards (this is also debateable, ive never actualy seen proof, and i own one!).
skate banana's went to tuned down C2 rocker, meaning they have normal banana rocker between bindings, then from last binding insert, the board turns back into normal camber board similiar to a never summer, or a nitro gull wing!..
ive been told this by ALOT of stores, when i was looking for a new board to replace my mid 2010 board, but i still think its bullshit, we didnt libtech announce it? when they use it as a marketing ploy on all their other boards that came out as c2 in 2010!!!
in my opinion, pretty much the same board, except the gnu is about 100x as cool , due to i like gnu more then libtech! and the park pickle would be the most awsome graphic i have ever seen!
*i only bought the skat ebanana as i was able to get it VERY cheap through my dads mate.
**when i say 2010, libtech 2010 boards are released here for our 209 season, meaning the NEW boards coming in stores atm are 2011 libtech boards
