Specs
Key Technologies for a High-Performance Freestyle Ride:
The Off Ramp is loaded with Lib Tech's signature Mervin Made technologies, focusing on durability, pop, and edge control:
- Camber (C3 Camber Profile in some iterations): While some previous versions of the Off Ramp might have featured C3 (camber with a mild rocker between the feet), newer versions often come with a traditional, aggressive camber profile. This provides:
- Maximum Pop: Loads up energy for huge ollies and powerful launches off jumps.
- Precision and Control: Delivers excellent edge hold and responsiveness for technical tricks, precise landings, and carving.
- Stability: Keeps the board stable at high speeds and through choppy terrain, crucial for landing big jumps cleanly.
- Magne-Traction®: Lib Tech's iconic "serrated edge" technology with strategically located edge serrations. These multiple contact points significantly enhance edge grip on hard snow, ice, and sketchy conditions, allowing you to maintain control even when the park landings or resort groomers are firm. This is a huge advantage for consistency in Utah's variable snow.
- True Twin Shape: The nose and tail are identical, allowing for effortless switch riding and landings, essential for freestyle snowboarding.
- "Pill Shape" or Blunted Tip/Tail: This design can reduce swing weight, making spins easier, while maintaining surface area for stability on landings.
- Medium to Medium-Firm Flex (often rated 6.5 to 7 out of 10): This flex provides a sweet spot for freestyle. It's:
- Poppy: Excellent for launching off jumps and ollies.
- Stable: Handles speed and impacts well.
- Manipulable: Still allows for presses and butters when loaded correctly, but it's not a noodle, requiring some rider input.
- Original Power (OP) Construction / OP+ Construction: Lib Tech's environmentally friendly, lightweight, and strong core. It typically features a durable Aspen / Paulownia wood blend (e.g., 75% Aspen / 25% Paulownia), providing a lively, snappy, and rugged foundation built to withstand the abuse of park and street riding.
- Tri-Ax / Bi-Ax Fiberglass Laminates: A unique blend of fiberglass layers that provide strength, torsional rigidity, and a lively feel, ensuring the board responds well to rider input and stands up to heavy use.
- Eco Sublimated Sintered Base: A durable, highly absorbent, and fast base material. This "street-tough" base is designed to hold up to impacts on features while maintaining excellent glide.
- UHMW Sintered Sidewalls & UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection: Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) materials are exceptionally durable and absorb impact, making these areas highly resistant to damage from rails, boxes, and other obstacles. The tip/tail deflection helps prevent delamination.
- Art by Phil Hansen: Features distinct graphics from one of its designers, contributing to the board's unique aesthetic.
- Mervin Made: Hand-built in the USA at the environmentally conscious Mervin Factory in Washington State with a commitment to zero hazardous waste and environmentally friendlier materials.
