they are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boards

my friend i ride with in utah has one and he loves it. It is a great all around board for pipe, rail, or powder and ice conditions.

I would recommend it forsure

Pretty much decent for everything.

Magne traction does work. Just more solid on ice. straight up.

I would pick one up asap if you think you want one.

i've ridden my friends, i didnt like it at all it was super awkward

everytime i carved i felt like i was going to slip out, and when i pressed on rails i felt like i was going to overpress

but i guess some people like them, i know another kid who can do off axis 900s on his

I heard they had a lot of problems with them breaking last year.

I have the TRS Bannana, and after a season of riding it, I love it.

When it comes to presses, I could see how someone would over press it if they were just coming from a board with camber, but personally i feel more control when i am pressing with the bannana, either while jibbing or just playing around in the groomed runs, because i dont have to press as hard or put as much weight into it.

In powder, I here how it is such an awesome board, this is true, i just didnt see the huge difference between it and other boards.

Durability, mine is still looking hot...

Pop, I dont really know how to explain it, but it is a much more comfortable pop, im almost thinking it more like a skateboard ollie type feel...

And the Magnetraction, well, its better than a board with out it!

I am really stoked to shred the bannana again this season! Fun ass board, to sum it all up.
