MACHETE GT

BOARDS

Twin Hybrid Rocker Park / Groomers / Pow Medium GO BLOG ABOUT IT! The Machete GT is a favorite of snowboard bloggers all over the Internet. What is it about the Machete GT that snowboard bloggers love so much? This freestyle deck packs so much tech it’s difficult for them to pick their favorite. RIDE’s Twin Hybrid Rocker provides rocker in the nose and tail to lift your contact points off the ground for a catch-free ride in the park and effortless float to stick those powder landings. Camber between your feet helps you hold your edge and power through turns. The GT also features Carbon SlimeWalls®, which provide a stable and chatter-free ride at high speed that has been compared to “riding a garden hose over a flat tire” in variable terrain. No vibration there! The carbon is strategically placed in the nose and tail to ensure you maintain edge-to-edge quickness and pop. The Machete GT is a responsive freestyle deck with a stiffer flex, so don’t be an angry snowboarder if you don’t have the chops to get the maximum performance from the Machete GT. ARTIST: MXMTTT World-renowned tattoo artist and graphic designer, Maxime Büchi created the graphic this season for the Machete GT. Büchi’s work explores sacred geometry and the mysteries of ancestral art. Often called a true Renaissance man, Büchi’s work lives in the creative fields of tattooing, typeface design, clothing design and editorial. His prestigious clients include Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, & Kanye West. The founder of the Sang Bleu London tattoo studio has claimed his singularity through the tattoos that have established him as an influential figure in fashion. @mxmttt / @sbldnttt CONSTRUCTION FEATURES –– Roll In Slimewalls® –– Carbon Slimewalls® –– Double Impact Plates –– Carbon Array 5™ Laminates –– Cleave Edge™ Steel
