The B-Street Banana Tech is the world’s best jib design. Originally designed to be our soft flexing, twin, urban jib board...we just can’t hold this board back. The B-Street is an unbelievable all mountain freestyle board. Bryn Valaika rides it everywhere from Mammoth pipes to Summit at Snoqualmie QPs, not to mention the park, ice, pow, steeps, and streets. Welcome to the future...one board does it all better from a centered freestyle jib stance. If you are just learning or a veteran shredder this is one fun Banana that will change the way you look at the mountain. Handmade by snowboarders at Mervin Manufacturing in the USA.

Nick Russian has an amazing appreciation for the hi-fashion female. The B-Street has been his canvas for the past few years and he has always delivered the most unexpected, beautiful, if slightly shocking, runway model-esque ladies to grace the boards. This years supermodel is a morph of several different beautiful people coming together into this collage of colors, abstract shapes, and body parts. Stepping into the B-Street feels like stepping onto the catwalk, all confidence and style, even if you are wearing a hat with antlers on it.

Barrett has been fine tuning her pro model for over a decade. She has seen Banked Slalom wins, X Games medals, epic freeriding around the world, steep and deep days at Baker... all the while working with Gnu designers fine tuning flexes, sidecuts, widths and shapes. Barrett’s line this year is all C2 Banana Technology with Magne-Traction. C2 is the perfect combination of camber at each end and Banana Tech between your feet...the camber gives the board end to end stability and pop for big landings, critical lines and aggressive riders...the Banana between your feet makes for great carving on hardpack and ice and easy float in power and broken variable snow conditions. Barrett donates a portion of her royalties to Boarding for Breast Cancer and all of her models are handmade at Mervin MFG in the USA with snakeskin BEANS bio polymer top material and fast growing farmed eco wood cores.

Hannah Stouffer has designed another beautiful B-Pro board. The full length snakeskin textured topsheet compliments the exotic colorful snake lurking beneath the surface. You can almost feel the heat of the jungle rising up from the board. This graphic is hot, like killer snakeskin shoes and handbag hot, like riding as good as you look hot. With Hannah creating the artwork for the B-pro, the hi-end performance is matched by hi-end graphics. See more at: Grandarray.com
