Everyone’s favourite backcountry hippie, Eric Jackson, has once again signed off on the EJack Knife, Lib Tech’s latest incarnation of the backcountry freestyle deck, but one designed to hold its own across the whole mountain.

Featuring their signature C3 Camber, combining a mild rocker in the centre with individual cambers under both feet and an early rocker rise, the EJack Knife is capable of providing grip throughout the effective edge, whilst keeping its looser, more playful characteristics for backcountry butters and jibbing down the home run.

In heritage to Eric Jackson’s backcountry style, the EJack Knife features a setback stance with an early rise tapered nose to help push up the front of the board in the steep and deep. And the stiffer, snappier core, comprised of aspen, paulownia and birch, helps to keep it stable even when you’re riding on the limit.

You’re not limited to only the deepest and steepest days with this board, however. The thinner tip and tail keep the swing weight down and make control of spinning much easier. And for those especially icy days, Lib’s tried and tested Magne-Traction cuts through the hardpack to ensure maximum grip in all conditions.

Suited to the more aggressive rider, the EJack Knife is a powerhouse shred-stick for the rider who demands pure performance in every corner of the mountain. Where the man himself presents an aura of cool, calm and chill, his signature board is a beast to be tamed.

Tester’s Verdict

Mike BrindleyWhitelines

“Like pets and instruments, some snowboards really do share the same characteristics as their owners – and never has the case for that been more true than with Lib’s Ejack Knife. Eric Jackson’s pro model takes a bit of power input to get the most out of it, but (even for the more slender framed among) us it has the ability to convert that into Ejack’s signature burly style of riding.

“If you like to go fast, fly high and ride everything with purpose this thing is an excellent choice”

If you like to go fast, fly high and ride everything with purpose this thing is an excellent choice, but even if that’s just what you’re aiming for, this is the board to guide you in the right direction. Whether you’re as blessed as the man himself and find yourself hunting pillow lines for days, or just want to rip around your favourite resort laps, this thing is a weapon.”
