GNU Banked Country Snowboard 2026
The GNU Banked Country is a high-speed directional freeride powerhouse conceived by Temple and Cannon Cummins. Featuring a C3 camber profile with subtle rocker between the feet, progressive Magne-Traction edges, and a tapered directional shape, it’s built to slice groomers, slash chunder, and surf pow with unmatched edge control and rebound power.
Why It Works
- C3 Camber-Dominant Profile: Strong camber zones deliver explosive pop and precision, with a minor rocker midsection for easier turn initiation and maneuverability.
- Progressive Directional Magne‑Traction: Tapered edge serrations and flared tail geometry improve turn exits and rear control.
- Directional Shape with Setback & Taper: ~1.5″ setback stance and mild taper enhance float and carve precision in deep or variable terrain.
- Carbon Power Bands + G Lite 3 Core: High-energy Aspen/Paulownia blend reinforced with carbon for strong pop and stability.
- Tri‑/Bi‑Axial Fiberglass Laminate: Balanced flex and torsional strength for versatile all-mountain control.
- Sintered Knife‑Cut Base & UHMW Sidewalls: Durable, fast base and high-impact protection for aggressive riding.
Perfect Match For
Advanced to expert riders seeking a resort-focused charger that slices hardpack, handles pow days, and accelerates through variable terrain. This board combines slalom-level carve precision with freeride float and durability.
The Details
- Shape: Directional (tapered with 1.5″ setback)
- Profile: C3 Camber‑Dominant Hybrid with subtle mid‑section rocker
- Flex: Firm (~6.5‑7/10)
- Core: G Lite 3 (FSC Aspen/Paulownia + Carbon Power Bands)
- Glassing: Tri‑Axial & Bi‑Axial Fiberglass
- Base: Sintered Knife‑Cut
- Edge Tech: Progressive Directional Magne‑Traction Serrations
- Setback: ~1.5″ (≈38 mm)
- Sizes: 155, 159, 162cm
The Difference
The Banked Country fuses the raw carve power of camber with surfy float and fluid responsiveness. It’s stiffer and sharper than most freeride boards and more aggressive than hybrid all-mountain models—perfect for fast laps, banked slalom style runs, or charging when conditions demand confidence.
Bottom Line: The GNU Banked Country is a directional freeride titan—built for precision, pop, and flow on any terrain.
Ride with power and purpose—choose the Banked Country.

What did i spend so much time reading??
Format: Kindle
Spoilers ahead This book makes me angry. A misogynistic fable that holds women as mothers as inherently either deeply flawed or as if some fairy tale perfect mother exists. I found the early parts of the novel quite funny. Thinking this poor woman why do people expect such crazy standards? Also social media influencers somehow we are to take for reality? It is entertaining and that's why we want to spend our time looking at it. It is a fantasy world. Yet that is somehow turned from something comical and poignant dissolving into madness where there can be a 16 year old that can take away your children for what I'm not sure. Filming them? Having nannies? And then again the next bunch for living off the grid? I get that this isn't going for realism. It ultimately became for me this poorly written satire maybe? Obviously what started as comically intriguing for me descended into one totally crazy crazy turn to the darkest of places. I recognize this was supposed to be some sort of cracked fairytale where nearly everyone is evil and/or mental but 30 years for child abuse? This is like a nightmare not a thriller. The book demonstrates a hatred for mothers. Just awful! It made me crave for a totally unrealistic thriller. I came to be entertained and left pissed off.

Excellent satire of tradition cult
Format: Kindle
I read this book in two days. I was eager to read it once I read the description in a Facebook post. I am a theologically conservative Christian frustrated with the tradition culture that has co-opted the faith. I see this in my social and social media circles quite a bit, and I was intrigued by a novel that took this movement to task.
Furthermore, I truly enjoy well done satire and farce. I have had a hard time finding these works written well in the past, so I was bracing myself to be disappointed. I am thankful to say, I wasn’t. I didn’t expect the novel to go the way it did (and no, I won’t post spoilers), but I literally laughed out loud a several points.
Let me compliment the author for one particular point: She doesn’t just blast the “tradwife” movement. Plenty of cultural movements and groups of people have their sins exploited. Rather than shooting a 12-gauge at religious conservatives, she takes a Tommy gun and hits a wide range of systems.
I do want to warn squeamish readers about another issue: The novel can be quite graphic at times, explicitly detailing the intimacy struggles with the main couple. It borders on the pornographic side, but not for titillation. It’s meant to show the dysfunction in the supposedly happy couple.
There were quite a few humorous moments, such as the protagonist enjoying the sounds of the chickens, only to grow wistful about their impending deaths so she can taste chicken broth. Or the protagonist’s evangelical mother reacting to her son-in-law’s purchase of a yoga mat.
I was a little disappointed in the resolution of the central issue, i.e., the time travel. But overall, the novel was an enjoyable read and worth your time.

What did I just read
Format: Kindle
I’m not sure how to articulate my feelings about this book. It took me a bit to get into it, the story was interesting from the beginning but felt very slow paced to me. That changed about half way in. I don’t know what I was expecting, but that was not it! I did end up enjoying this. It was well written, funny, and shocking.

Meaningful, Enjoyable and Uplifting
Format: Paperback
I don’t read a lot of novels, but after hearing recommendation after recommendation, I finally picked up Theo of Golden—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Alan Levi tells a story that is inspiring, wholesome, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to read. The characters felt real, the writing was engaging, and the story carried deeper themes about life, purpose, and relationships without ever feeling forced. I also know Alan through Young Life, which made reading the book even more special for me personally. If you’re looking for a meaningful novel that is both enjoyable and uplifting, I highly recommend this book.

a swim through literary magic
Format: Kindle
Reading this book reminds me of jumping into a pool of water and the way the water tickles your skin as you descend into it, then surrounds you and totally encompasses you in its liquid wonder.
There is so much here: beautiful metaphors that conjure up both visual images and the emotions that accompany it. Wonderful character development: presented with gentleness, respect and grace. An intricate plot that carries the reader along lightly and buoyantly, not calling attention to itself, but carrying through to the end. The book itself is a portrait of Theo, in keeping with the portrait style described within.
