Lib Tech 157 Hot Knife 157 snowboard

Lib Tech 157 Hot Knife 157 snowboard in great shape. A few scratches but nothing close to core. With Da Kine stomp pad. The Lib Tech Hot Knife is a very appropriate name for the kind of ride it provides. This has a very technical camber feel to it that isn't great if you get off your game and have to skid turns and doesn't float well in powder. That being said, it's super fun to make good turns with and has great pop out of the tip and tail. The Lib Tech Hot Knife has the aggressive camber feel of the C3 Jamie Lynn Classic and the aggressive Twin feel of the T.Rice but still has it’s own unique feel to it. If you are a normal size boot like a size 8-10 US the Hot Knife will be a much better call than the T.Rice. If you like the idea of the Jamie Lynn Classic but want a twin this is the better choice as well. This C3 hybrid camber is unique to the hybrid camber design world. There is a mini rocker that doesn’t touch all the way down between the feet and then camber that goes to the same point that normal camber does at the tip/tail. It’s basically the opposite of C2 technology. On Snow Feel: The Hot Knife is all about high-speed assaults on the groomers regular or switch but it’s also a great aggressive park ride too for pipe and jumps. This sums up aggressive all-mountain freestyle. Camber boards like the Hot Knife are fun to straight line or flat base. They track well without the loose feeling hybrid rocker shapes offer but come with consequences. This hot knife is one of those aggressive technical boards that like’s to spring from an ollie or a carve. It adds a new twist to the old school stoke you can get from aggressive camber twin riding. The 156 gave us a lot of board for the size. Normally a board like this would be locked in with this kind of flex and camber but that little bump between the feet makes the board feel less catchy than it should be. One footing and flat basing are easy but there is a consequence to the ride if you aren’t on your game and have to skid a turn or two. It’s not easy for skidded turns.
