Expert reviews 1
The Lib Tech T.Rice Pro is a versatile daily driver walking the line between playful and aggressive (15th of 33 all-mountain freestyle boards, 85.6/100). It fits especially well as the board that fills the gap when you keep a dedicated powder board and a dedicated park board separately, and if you don't ride deep powder often, it's enough as a one-board quiver.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
Lib Tech's C2 hybrid — rocker between the bindings and camber underfoot. The rocker handles forgiveness and smooth turn initiation, the camber edge hold and pop. Magnetraction edges are added, so hardpack grip is good.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A mid-stiff flex at 6.5 out of 10. It has both damping and snap, so it isn't heavy yet holds up at speed. Turns are light and quick, so the early models' 'hard to turn' reputation is much improved.
Where it shines
Who it suits
On the easy-to-handle side, but not a beginner's board. It accommodates everyone from intermediates to experts and has the character to serve as a daily driver.
Good
- ✓A balanced board with light, fast turns that still secures high-speed stability
- ✓Damping and snap together let it handle rough snow and crud well
- ✓Switch riding is very natural
- ✓Plenty of pop for jumps and tricks
Not so good
- —It shows below-average float in deep powder
- —Carving refinement isn't at the level of a dedicated carving board
- —Forgiving, but still a lot for a beginner to take on as a first board
