U.S.A CONSTRUCTION BASICS AND APPLIED SCIENCES
Over 30 years of composite board building and riding research has shaped Gnu’s fundamental board building principals.
-RUGGED FAST UHMW EXTERNAL SIDEWALLS -IMPACT RESISTANT END GRAIN INTERNAL SIDEWALLS -ULTRA RUGGED LIGHT WEIGHT UHMW TIP AND TAILS -TUCKED IN STEEL EDGES FOR LOW SPIN WEIGHT (NO HEAVY UNNECESSARY STEEL EDGES ON YOUR TIPS) -BI-AX, TRI-AX AND EXOTIC FIBER REINFORCEMENT BLENDS -FAST GROWING RENEWABLE ECO-WOODCORES -ECO-SUBLIMATED DECORATED TOPS AND BASES UNLESS THE ARE ECO-KNIFE CUT BASE
The magical wonders of science are our playground
The original revolutionary all terrain rocker technology built for snowboarding. Rocker between your feet bringing vigor to the previously unpleasurable area between your feet with various camber contours extending from your feet to the tip and tail. Each camber contour providing a specific pressure map, performance characteristics, and feel. They all rip…pick one that suits your riding style and ability.
Magne-Traction
Pickle Technology
FUN, EASY ALL TERRAIN ROCKER
Rocker between your feet combined with flat to mild cambers out to the contact points. Easy riding and turning, great jibbing and epic float in pow. BTX: B-NICE PBTX: SMART PICKLE, MINI SMART PICKLE, LADIES GATEWAY
“TURNS ICE INTO POWDER”
Balance Through Asymmetry
The human body is asymmetric. Turn mechanics on toe and heelside are completely different. The angle of attack you achieve on a toeside turn is much steeper than what is possible on a heelside turn because of ankle, knee and hip dynamics. Toes are like fingers offering much more precise edge control. Heels line up directly under your ankle and legs offering a powerful direct connection to the heelside edge. Pickle technology applies unique design elements to each side of your board, harmonizing with nature and balancing your heel and toeside snowboard activation mechanics. Pickle tech makes snowboards easier to ride.
Pickle Possiblites
1) Pickle Barrel Core: Asym wood laminations with softer heelside flex 2) Sidecuts: Deeper heelside sidecut 3) Smart formula Magne-Traction: A heelside power serration and a finesse serration on your toeside 4) Contacts: Asym contact angles with shorter heelside edge contact 5) Shapes: Asymmetric tip and tail shapes

B-PRO BARRETT’S C3 BTX ALL TERRAIN MAGIC WAND
By Tina Fairbanks
His board vibrated with explosive release as it thrust upward breaking through the stiff barrier and into the moist, velvety powder underneath. She welcomed the challenge. With quickening pulse she tightened her straps and maneuvered behind him. My, she’d forgotten how broad his board was! Pulling up to his rear she had some difficulty not slipping into his deep tracks but soon found her own rhythm. This was her first night ride. The once familiar now felt wholly mysterious. She hadn’t known how inexperienced she was while she groped in darkness begging for the moon’s milky shafts of light to lengthen. Suddenly, a seed of brightness spilled over her face and she was blinded as green, blue and pink curtains draped across the night sky. The colors waved in a sinuous dance, charging the air with electricity. And then, he was by her side adding to the celestial magnetic storm of her desire. “Let’s ride.” He whispered. They mounted their boards simultaneously. But now she was in charge. Taking the lead, exploding galactic power fueling her to poke harder than she ever had before, pounding down the mountain with wild abandon. For once she would beat him to the finish.
As the longest running women’s pro-model in snowboarding, Barrett Christy’s Gnu B-Pro continues to set records, collect medals, and descend peaks around the world. It is constantly evolving and being fine tuned by a collaboration of progressive, obsessive, and accomplished ladies. Whether you ride big mountains like Maria Debari, big pipes like Kaitlyn Farrington, make big headway for women in snowboarding like Barrett, or have big fantasies like the rest of us, the B-Pro’s magical recipe of C3, LCP fiber, sparkly Bio Beans top sheet, and Magne-Traction will prepare you for the big magical mountains ahead! A portion of sales from each B-Pro board is donated to B4BC, as it has been for the past decade. B4bc.org
SIZES: 143, 146, 149, 152, 155 ART / DESIGN: Adam Haynes has dreamt up another B-Pro fantasy graphic for 14/15. The pegacorns have descended majestic peaks, bounded out of the turbulent ocean, and now they have ascended to the stars above in a wild display of light and energy streaking across the cosmos. The magic of the pegacorns is born from love, and this year the lovers look on as they walk hand in hand into the sunset, to ultimately join the party out of this world. Stickfort.com

SMART PICKLE SMART PBTX FREESTYLE BALANCE THROUGH ASYMMETRY The Human Body is Asymmetric. Turn mechanics for toe and heelside are completely different. The angle of attack you can achieve on a toeside turn is much steeper than what is possible on a heelside turn because of ankle, knee and hip dynamics. Your toes are like fingers offering much more refined micro managed edge control on a toe side turn. Your heels line up directly under your ankle and legs offering a powerful direct connection to the heelside edge. We have built the Smart Pickle in harmony with nature and around how you activate your snowboard. Let your Smart Pickle do the snowboarding for you!

ART / DESIGN: Christina Burtner, aka Pika, created this graphic after pouring through fashion mags and 1970’s Playgirls. Ok, well she might not have drawn any direct inspiration from the Playgirls for this board, but no doubt she was inspired after her work on our Early Release Pickle Stallion board. The Velvet Gnuru feels like a stylish resort collection piece from a luxury goods designer… and it is! Pika is a multi-talented artist and contributor to Mervin on many levels.

The Ladies Gateway is a jib focused twin freestyle Pickle that is built to handle the dirty streets as well as the fluffy snow. Beveled Magne-Traction edges keep you in control even if you de-tune, and the flat kick on the nose and tail helps you lock in presses with ease. Glow in the dark sidewalls complete this board as the ultimate streetsmart freestyle slayer.
