FOREST BAILEY'S TWIN FREESTYLE MASTERPIECE
Forest Bailey's feeling in the air and infinite style combine in Gnu Headspace. The perfect combination of an asymmetric shape and award-winning technology merge into a freestyle dream board for creative riders. With a medium flex and a C3 camber profile, you'll be ready for any freestyle situation, whether it's in the park, on the slopes or in the streets.
Riding style
An all-mountain/park board for advanced riders and experts. This board comes with all the features you need as an ambitious park rider. The camber profile makes the board stable, precise and offers a lot of pop. Perfect for high speed big kickers and shredding all over the mountain.
Shape
The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile when ridden forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. The asymmetrical sidecut has a smaller radius on the heel side and a larger one on the toe side. This makes turns on the heel side easier and also more controllable.
Profile
The C3 profile is a classic camber profile with subtle rocker between the bindings. This provides precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The mild rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more uplift than conventional camber profiles.
Flex
The medium flex makes the snowboard hard enough for powerful turns, but still soft enough for a playful ride.
Construction
The Asym G Lite 2 construction is an environmentally friendly and durable construction design from Gnu. The core of aspen and paulownia wood is asymmetrically constructed, light, sustainable, robust and poppy. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The sintered base is very fast and stays that way if you maintain it properly.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
