The brand new 2011 Technine Team Bradshaw is one of the types of new age snowboards that recently have come out. These boards are the flashy type. This deck focuses less on specifications and more on graphics. The graphics on this board of a beer bottle, lighter, cigarette, pizza, and money show a lifestyle that a lot of snowboarders lead. A person might buy this board if they want others to know who they really are. Being seen with this Technine I promise you'll get attention. Notice how smooth the edges are on a radial cut. You can easily tell that the money you put into this board is more for looking cool than having the top of the line gear. One might buy this board if they feel they don't need the best new shit to do ill tricks.

The 2011 Lib Tech Skate Banana is one of the most popular snowboards out this year. With new groms (young snowboarders) wanting the best new gear it's no surprise this board gets all the hype. This board looks plain black on the bottom with some vibrant color on the brand name across the center. The graphics of this deck focus less on complicated artwork and more on simply stating the model and brand of the board. If you look closely you can see that the cuts in the side are not smooth as other boards. This serves to have more contact points with the snow. Even by just looking at this board you can tell it is top of the line.
