Lib Tech Kids' T Ripper 2021

Designed in Jackson to take on the world. The T.Ripper is a scaled down and fine tuned version of Travis’ X-Games and AK line proven T.Rice Pro. In the park, carving the hardpack or blasting the pow this board will lift you to new levels of performance and never let you down.

Board art by: Mike Parillo (@mikeparillo) Longtime Lib Tech ripper and amazing artist Mike Parillo and Travis worked together on this years “nature x science” inspired Travis Rice collection and have created what feels like the most amazing snowboard line up ever. “In the first conversations Travis and I had 'intelligent design' was the first thing he mentioned. All the paintings for this line fall into that idea but my way of putting a human twist on it was the symbol of the sword being one of man’s oldest means of creating a tool that serves as a thing of beauty, technical innovation and the ability to destroy as well.” ~Mike

Camber Profile:

C2 Technology

Lib Tech worked with Travis Rice to develop this perfectly balanced all terrain contour. Mild rocker between your feet with powerful cambers to the tips and tails. Enough power pop and precision to technically hit the biggest wedges, enough float and freedom to rip the gnarliest AK pow lines. Carves the resort, plays in the park, and slays powder.

Shape:

True Twin 

A true twin shape is completely symmetrical. If you cut a true twin in half exactly down the middle you would end up with two identical pieces of board.

This means that the nose and the tail are the same length and the same width and the bindings are centred on the board – i.e. they are equal distances from the centre of the board and the front binding is the same distance from the nose as the back binding is from the tail.

Of course, as you can adjust the width of the position of the bindings you could create a setback stance if you were so inclined but this would be unusual on a true twin given its purpose and might be a strange feel depending on the camber profile (i.e. one foot could end up being over camber and the other over rocker which would probably feel odd).

In addition to this a true twin has exactly the same flex in the nose and tail.
