what it does
The concave shape continues all the way to the tip of board. After the contact edge ends, the sidebase uplift increases faster for an extra 3BT kick.
The concave nose with the extra 3BT sidebase kick delivers extra float in POW. This nose shape helps with smooth handling of rough and uneven terrain. Tight transition are easier to negotiate with this nose shape.
Triple Base Technology divides the nose and tail in 3 sections: A left sidebase to turn left, a centerbase section to go straight and a right sidebase to turn right.
As you initiate a turn the contact edge grows from your bindings to give a full traditional edge grip over the entire effective edge when fully committed.
The up turned sidebases make initiating turns easier and faster, with less effort. The total uplift distance starts at zero under the bindings, growing to maximum at the widest points of the board. This puts the control under your feet without losing control outside the bindings.
The uplifted sidebases make your board forgiving when going straight (like a rocker) when you tilt the board to just a few degrees the full contact edge engages, without the torsional stress of a traditional camber board.
Because the board has no edge-to-edge concave between the bindings and a full tip-to-tail camber down the center of the board, you keep all the performance and control of a traditional camber board. At the same time, the angled sidebases give you the playfulness, forgiveness and powder float we have come to appreciate from rocker shapes. 3BT combines camber and rocker into one shape, and it actually works, but don’t believe us...
INSERTS TO NOSE
what it looks like
The sidebase gets lifted gradually from the insert area to the widest points of the board. There is a full tip to tail camber running down the centerbase of the board.
INSERTS TO NOSE what it does
The concaved shaped nose helps you to catch less edge and stick more jumps. Lifted sidebases are awesome for fast turn initiation and fast edge to edge transitions. The gradual increase in sidebase angle give that unparalleled smooth riding feeling and non chattering carves.

BETWEEN THE INSERTS
BETWEEN THE INSERTS
The board is flat between the inserts from edge to edge. There is camber between the inserts extending all the way down the centerbase into the nose and tail sections.
Having camber in your board means there is always energy loaded to help you pop or snap in and out of turns.
what it looks like
what it does
The full tip to tail camber distributes the pressure along the complete edge for more control
With enough pressure to engage the whole edge (just 2-3 degrees), the contact edge has the same shape as a traditional camber board, but the pressure is equal along the whole edge and no torsional stresses are introduced.
With a tiny amount of pressure, the sidebases start to engage near the bindings, but the pressure remains constant along the contact edge.
When riding on a flat base, only the centerbase section is in the snow, so the board travels in a straight line.
With a tiny amount of pressure, the sidebases start to engage near the bindings, but the pressure remains constant along the contact edge.
With enough pressure to engage the whole edge (just 2-3 degrees), the contact edge has the same shape as a traditional camber board, but the pressure is equal along the whole edge and no torsional stresses are introduced.

what it does
The concaved tail combined with the loaded camber delivers explosive pop. With uplift in the sidebases you are now initiating turns from your bindings and increasing the grip further out to the wide points as you get more radical in the turn. This is the complete opposite of how a flat board rides (and a lot smoother).
TAIL
TAIL
The concave shape continues all the way to the tail of board. After the contact edge ends, the sidebase uplift increases faster for an extra 3BT kick.
The extra kick after the contact edge helps you float more with out affecting the carving abilities. Because of the dynamic shape you will experience less tail chatter when on edge.

There is so many factors to take into consideration. In this overview we do our best to make your choice easier. If you are still confused to hesitate to ask Mr. B for some help. Or go to our website, where you will find even more info, reviews and answers to most of your questions. Don’t take all the divisions on this page too strict, 3BT makes all our boards super versatile. So our jib boards will still outcarve other non 3BT jib boards and our park boards will float powder better then flat park boards while our powder boards will take apart slopes without worries...
