Magne-traction is the real deal. I have been riding a Lib-Tech TRS w/ magne-traction since last year and can attest to its effectiveness, especially on hard-pack/ice. Problem is the board is a bit noodely, especially in the nose, when I get aggressive with it (I weigh 210). It's great for trees, bumps, riding switch and all the other fun stuff, but it's not stiff enough for me to really push hard. The Dark Series is stiffer, but is it that much stiffer?
Here's the real question...when will companies like Donek and Prior, who use superior materials and have better craftsmanship than the mass-producers, start to embrace some of this new thinking/technology in their boards? I would love to see Donek with their own version of magne-traction or a reversed-camber board for freeriding.
