Lib Tech’s Weird Science Bananas

by The Editors on April 17, 2008

Writer Jeff Hemmel has a great story on the Lib Tech Skate Banana on First Tracks Online.

There’s some crazy stuff going on up in Washington State. First comes the notion that a snowboard’s edge should resemble a crinkle-cut French fry, rather than a traditional curve. The dust on crust had barely settled from that outburst when next came the idea that camber was old news, and that rocker — yes, wakeboard-like rocker — was the wave of the future.

While we all know Mike Olson is a design genius, it’s nice to see others appreciating his banana. . . tech.
