Absolute Premium Park Performance

If you're looking for a handmade, durable park ski of the highest quality, look no further than the Lib Tech Backwards. The thicker steel edges and a thicker sintered and eco-friendly base make the ski incredibly robust, perfect for rails, bonks and jibs. The medium flex, Magne Traction and innovative rocker profile ensure you're fully prepared for every feature, for absolute dominance in the snow park.

Riding style
A freestyle/park ski for advanced shredders. This ski comes with all the features you need as an ambitious park rider. If you are drawn to the piste from time to time, it won't let you down here either.

Shape
This ski comes with a Directional Twin shape. The nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Thus the ski offers you the same skiing characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose you get a little more uplift in fresh snow. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.

Profile
Lib Tech's Park profile combines a regular tip and tail rocker with a classic camber under the binding. This profile gives the skis a lot of pop and control. The rocker in the nose and tail makes the ski a little more forgiving.

Flex
A medium flex gives you all the freedom you need in the park, while still providing enough stability for big kickers. 

Construction
Eco Light Construction is a very lightweight, environmentally friendly and durable construction design from Lib Tech. The core is made of FSC certified woods and is very light for a lively ride. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The sintered UHMW base is extremely fast and hard, with excellent wax absorption. The construction of the UHMW sintered sidewalls allows for a waterproof, strong and resistant construction without toxic ABS.

Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.

Freeskis 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 skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
