Hallucinogenic Graphics by Jamie Lynn on this all-mountain destroying, pow devouring, bad-ass piece of wood: The LibTech RAT TAIL is a twinkle of destiny. A kiss of the snowboarding gods. And easily one of the raddest shredsticks to ever cross our way. If you ripped in the 90's you will love this one. If you didn't, you might wanna add some extra cred to your regular shtick with this shredstick.
Libtech conferred the biologically approved principle of the rat tail to snowboarding in cooperation with the main man Jamie Lynn. Finally, one might say. Because how do you think these goddamn rats always find the leftovers of your pepperoni pizza without having a map or a smartphone? No, goddamnit, they don't have satnav either. So the answer is: by force of their almighty tails. Rat tails are excellent dowsers for detecting easy score like the leftovers of a hotel buffet or, in this case, a powdery lip on a shitty day when your friends already gave up.
The rat tail connects the rat with the outter world. Tails are their main organ for perceiving the environment. It's like a set of eyes, just entirely different. Rat tails are highly sensitive and reactive and central for these creepers orientation. Think of the rattail as an on-board satnav that will guide your way to the end of the rainbow.
Honestly: This board is as beautiful as a sunrise after a night on acid and it's only available in limited shops. You should buy itand hang it on your wall even if you don't have a fucking clue on how to make a FS turn.
And here is a little epilogue for all 'y' all who were missing a statement on the rattail haircut.
Let's be honest: There are many ugly haircuts in the world. Some hilarious, some outrageous. It's of no sense to make a rating here but most would agree that the rattail is somewhere on top of the foodchain. I must know because I rocked one back in my heyday. Guess what, the girls didn't really dig it and I didn't get laid very often when I was 6 years old. Sometimes, yes, but not particularly often.
Obviously Jamie Lynn can get away with rocking that haircut but that's mostly because he's a legend and absolutely unfuckwithable. Jamie could be riding pink roller-skates in a mini skirt and we'd probably all do the same next year. That's how unfuckwithable he really is.
End of the epilogue. I must have had beer for breakfast. Back to Jamie and the Rat Tail.
Jamie built this one for the good days and everyday. Taper angle makes it a pow floater but, it will rip whatever is put in front of it. Shape inspired by Jamie’s home town crew skate days, tail shape by “One who breaths through tooth”, art is nothing short of bad ass.
