K2 GB Pop LTD Snowboard 2011
Even though it couldn’t carry Gretchen to Gold, the K2 GB Pop snowboard still deserves a winning medal. Designed specifically for Gretchen Bleiler for the 2010 Olympics, the GB Pop is a stiffer, cambered version of last year’s K2 Eco Pop.
The GB Pop LTD is a responsive, twin-tip board, beefed up with a stiff triax fiberglass topsheet and carbon torsion forks. It is seriously poppy and seriously aggressive, built for half-pipe domination. The GB Pop is also one of the only women’s snowboards for 2010 that has traditional camber.
Here’s what Gretchen has to say about it:
“My snowboarding is divided into two passions, the love of competition with the drive to push myself further, and my love for free riding with friends on whatever terrain the mountain conditions present. The GB Pop is designed to handle the rigors competition and progressing my riding – a responsive, traditional camber board that is rock solid during takeoff and landings. For the days when I want to play out of bounds, or just cruise around with friends, I want something with a playful and forgiving design like the Eco Pop.”
This board is for winners. So if you are ready to step-up your already aggressive riding, let the K2 GB Pop take you there.
Was able to try this board out at a demo day… Absolutely fell in love! Great for steep stuff :)
