We are mourning the passing of our NAS hero, Jamie Pierre. He has been a great help to us with our program and he will be sorely missed. What an incredible loss for the world, such a standup guy and a great friend to all of us here at Mervin. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. Godspeed, Jamie. We love you!

Mt. Baker’s Tory Bland and the Lib Tech experiMENTAL division have strategically added award winning “Magne-Traction” serrations to the edges of our boards. When you engage an edge, Magne-Traction serrations provide multiple higher pressure points of contact. The deepest serrations are underfoot, improving edgehold and stability where you need it most. The serrations get progressively shallower towards the tip and tail, adding turning response while maintaining catch-free tips and tails. Magne-Traction combined with reCURVE camber rocker hybrid contours provide the kind of enhanced turning platform needed to push your NASing through the galactic alignment right up into the unknown with Mike Wilson, Colby Albino, Jamie Pierre and Timmy Dutton.
MAGNE-TRACTION: Serrated Steaknife Edge Grip! Magne-Traction adds edgehold and focuses the control and power under your feet where your balance is centered. Each bump or serration is strategically sized and positioned.
The most aggressive bumps are in the center near and under your boot for maximum edgehold and control. The bumps are progressively less aggressive out towards the tip and tails creating catch-free user friendly tips and tails. Magne-Traction’s incredible edge control when combined with reCURVE’s easy turn initiation and float make for an unreal smooth ride in all terrain and conditions from ice to pow.
MAGNE-TRACTION FREESTYLE ADVANTAGE:
The extra edgehold you get allows you to ride your narrow ass boards de-tuned for the park and rails and still get great edgehold all over the mountain. Take a file and round your edges so they don’t hang up on the rails, boxes or ledges. Then go ride everywhere!

Ridden and designed by Mike Wilson and the Lib Tech experiMENTAL division, reCURVE Magne-Traction lifts your tip and tails from ends of camber to traditional contact points, creating a “dynamic early rise” when boot pressure is applied to center of short camber. Easy float in broken snow and pow, mild pre-initiation for hardpack and ice carving, catch-free for jib presses, etc. and ideal for most of the market: beginners, average recreational men and women, park / freestyle jib kids, freeriders, pow, doctors, lawyers, heli guides & rippers. ALL TERRAIN / POW reCURVE: featured on POW, Magic Horsepower Freeride, Freeride, Wreckcreate and Fully Functional Five NAS.
Pow specific reCURVE (Rocker/Camber/Rocker) incorporates the additional float, lift and pre-initiation of rocker beyond the short camber fulcrum. JIB / FREESTYLE reCURVE: featured on NAS BACKWARDS NAS. All Terrain reCURVE (Flat/Camber/Flat) allows NASers to manage turn initiation and provides a stable jib platform beyond the short camber fulcrum.
