Lib-Tech Men’s Box Scratcher Wide Snowboard 2023 Lib-Tech

The Box Scratcher is your all resort, every day, every condition, freestyle fun board. It’s poppy / floaty / buttery ways open up an endless pivot table of freestyle progression. The Scratcher continues to help Jesse Burtner escape the real world into abstract freestyle shred and is Brandon Reis’ go to kicker, park, street, board. With flat-kick nose and tail, a strong sintered base, perfect flex and a rad “boxy” shape the Scratcher is in the business of fun and business is good.

“This one is inspired by the Think Thank movie “Cue The Birds” from 2005. Cue the Birds was satirizing canned artsiness before Portlandia put “put a bird on it” on the map. We made larger than life paper mache bird masks and dressed up and ran around and filmed ourselves in them. Jesse dressed up in a suit while wearing the one he made, so this board is like a biography of him, especially as he has gone from pro-snowboarder to a suit! ha, just kidding, but not kidding. The paper flying out of the suitcase symbolizes the chaos of the job; ideas constantly flying around, being chased by data, lists, memos, reports while straddling your dreams and reality.” – Christina “Pika” Burtner, Box Scratcher artist

Boards best for buttering and progression.

In a snowboard with rocker the center of the board is the only true contact point. This makes turn initiation easier, so you’re less likely to catch an edge. This profile also makes it easier to bend, making it great for buttering. The lifted nose and tail make floating in pow effortless.

This translates well for those looking to progress on rails and in the park as well.

Shape: Twin

A completely symmetrical shape, which thrives in a variety of freestyle situations. At the core of its design, the twin shape features an identical nose and tail shape, which provides an identical feel and predictable maneuverability whether riding regular or switch. Although originally developed with park riders in mind, twin shapes have also grown to be embraced by many all-mountain riders that like to bring a skateboard style riding out of the park and onto the entire mountain.

Flex: 4 – 6 (Scale 1 – 10)

Jibbers delight. Butter it all.  Forgiving, easy to learn and progress on.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
