Lib Tech T Rice Pro C2BTX 2012 Snowboard Review

[MatTheBat738]

Bought this bomb yesterday, ride all day, this board is THE ultimate all around thing, simply awesome!

[10babiscar]

does the pointy powder shape have any setback?

[ianbean1]

GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!

[fatskillet13]

does the HP make it have more pop?

[thehouseboardshop]

@fatskillet13 Not necessarily, this board has tons of pop already. HP construction uses Columbian Gold Core surrounded by Basalt making the board lightweight and eco-friendly.

[tarik791]

Thanks ^.^ Keep up the good work!

[tarik791]

Hey so I decided to get the t-rice pro instead of the attack banana as me and my friends are getting heli dropped in whistler so I need something that can handle it ;) So I was just wondering (money no problem) should I get the normal t rice pro or HP one? And does it still perform well in the park? Also what bindings would be best for it? I'm getting a 153', I ride goofy, 140lbs, 5'10ish, Thanks man your alot of help :)

[thehouseboardshop]

@tarik791 I would Go with the HP. as for binding you should get the Burton Diode. You will be amazed. Have fun in BC your going to have a blast.

[jejohnson1982]

whats the difference between this one and the Pro C2BTX HP?

[thehouseboardshop]

@jejohnson1982 The HP is lighter and made with more eco friendly materials such as basalt and a bio-plastic topsheet made from Beans.

[nickstra2008]

Hi l like charging down the mountain but also like jumps and tricks and playing. im 5"10 and about 190 pounds and cant decide on the 153 or the 157

[thehouseboardshop]

@nickstra2008 at a 190lb your going to want to get the 157

[TheLizard17]

Hey I am 6' about 150 pounds and I already have a long (160) snowboard, I do freeride (look the "snow session" video on my channel) but I really want to learn to jump in the park well. can I get the 153 or should I stick with the 157?

[thehouseboardshop]

@TheLizard17 155 to 157 should make for a great jump board.

[firedude145]

I guess if you wanna spin to win, you should go with the 153. I like the 157 because I tend to keep boards for years and need an all mountain board. Have a great season whatever you do.

[Royalty403]

My old lady just put a deposit down on this beast (157) for this season!! should be ready for pick up next week! Cant wait boys! season will be rad! plus my ol 155 burton is my new jib stick yay!

[firedude145]

I guess I can only comment here... Great description dude!! Great Video!!

[24fieldsy]

hey im 6'3" and 200lbs. should i get the 157 or the 161. I've heard that they ride bigger than they are and i want a good all mountain board that i can still spin in the park and go big on kickers but still have mad stabillity when crusing on groomers. And also what would be a good setup for this board? i have a pair of 2011 ride exs and was wondering what you would suggest.

[thehouseboardshop]

@24fieldsy Well you are within range the weight range for riding the 157, But personal I would get the 161. Its going to feel stabler at high speeds and float better in the pow . its only about a 1.5inch's bigger so it will not effect you sipping ability that much.

[Royalty403]

@24fieldsy 161 sounds to be a better board for you. Remember that the 161 is a pointed shape versus the 157's blunt shape. Different boards. If you are in the park a bit go for the 157.. the banana tech, allows a shorter board to ride good for larger riders. so sizing down is okay too.

[TheKarolism]

hey im 5'9 150-160 pounds i just bought this board in a size 153, i was thinking i should size up to the 157 would that be a good idea?

[thehouseboardshop]

@TheKarolism if your more into all mountain riding i would size up, otherwise the 153 should work just fine. 

[firedude145]

@TheKarolism Yes, you should. Depending on where you ride. But at least get a bigger board... You'll be happier with a bigger board ;)

[TheKarolism]

@firedude145 hey man why do u say ill be happier with a bigger board?

my only concern is that im gonna be focusing on learning to spin this year and i was just worried that it would be harder to progress with a longer board.

the 157 will sit right under my nose while the 153 sits about an inch under my chin

[bwanabizz]

what would you say is the best all round lib-tech board?

[thehouseboardshop]

@bwanabizz TRS Or perhaps the Attack Banana 

[biglineslayer]

is this board still fun for jibs and side hits?

[thehouseboardshop]

@biglineslayer its is still fun for jibs and side hits, but remember it is a little stiffer and is built for all mountain domination.

[BKutuber]

are there any spec difference between t.rice 2011 and 2012 ? Are the graphics only difference?

[thehouseboardshop]

@BKutuber yeah its going to be really hard to find a 2010/2011 T Rice Pro. Other than that I don't believe there is much of a difference.

[BKutuber]

Hi, I am 88kg and 188cm, I've been riding for a while and using option mirror 159. I plan on dowsizing for freestyle. Skate banana 156 or t.rice 157 ? or should I just stay with my old fellow ? Can't decide...

[dswhish24]

if im 5,3 can i ride a 153

[thehouseboardshop]

@dswhish24 Yes, but will you like it. Now that's another questions all together. How much do you weigh?

[dswhish24]

@thehouseboardshop 114

[thehouseboardshop]

@dswhish24 If you like a stiffer board this would be a good one, but for you size i would recommend a 147

[Sudol86]

Hey, which do you think is a better pick for riding some mountain and some park, probably half and half. The T Rice Pro C2BTX, Skate Banana, or the GNU Park Pickle?

[thehouseboardshop]

@Sudol86 C2BTX gives you the best of both worlds, the playful feel of rocker and the control of camber.

[WO0Tz0r]

is there srsly no way to buy that board from you from europe : ( ?

[theoldkat]

youre getting better at reviewing

[jon1151]

i have the 2011 model, such a sick board, cant wait for winter

[Olaipai]

How do you sharpen and de-tune a magnetraction board? You just sharpen and de-tune it as a normal board? Wouldn't that be hard when you got all these curves?

[thehouseboardshop]

@Olaipai basically the same way as if you were de-tuning or tuning a normal board
