Lib Technologies E Jack Knife Snowboard Review

· Board: Lib Technologies E Jack Knife
· Bindings: Now Pilot
· Boots: K2 Ender (MM), Adidas Ultra Boost (SS)

Top to bottom, peak to park, pretty sweet any way you slice it.

If you’ve watched Eric Jackson’s film parts, you know he charges big burly lines, drops, jumps, hacks, etc - basically, he’s a burly dude who rides burly shit. So we were expecting this to ride quite a bit differently than it did. We thought it would be a bit aggressive, but we found the E Jack Knife to be a really well-balanced blend of design and tech. Lib’s C3 Camber - rocker between the feet, cambered under the bindings - with a slight taper and mellower feeling magnetraction made for a board that rode effortlessly, and really felt like it would take you anywhere on the mountain you want to go. This camber/sidecut/board shape came together for a board we both really liked.

The E Jack Knife was quick edge to edge, even though it measures at a mid-wide under the feet. This is where you’ll really be liking the little bit of taper in this board; it held it’s edge and line really well, and loaded turns and ollies with smooth power. It handles like a much stiffer, more aggressive board, but it is not as punishing to ride as many boards that are built to stand up to those burly lines and riding. We felt like this board would have felt just at home riding big fast lines in the Rockies, Whistler, Baker, as it did hammering around the gullies and side hits at Mt Seymour. And don’t worry about riding switch, the board and taper felt good no matter which way it was pointed.

Overall Feeling: A great quiver of one. If you’re a Lib Tech fan and want a board that is going to feel at home like a fish in a river everywhere on the mountain, then the E Jack Knife is definitely worth your consideration. Get it quick though, chances are these boards are going to sell fast at shops.
