Story of Lib Tech Snowboards, GNU Snowboards, and Mervin Mfg. with Mike Olson - Board Insiders

www.boardinside...
There is nothing like talking to a true legend of the industry, Mike Olson. We had a chance to chat with Mike and talk about some of the beginnings of the sport of snowboarding and the origins of GNU, Lib Tech, and Mervin Manufacturing.
Briefly named Liberace Technologies, here is the story behind the name.

That video was phenomenal! Just made my day to learn that Lib Tech stands for "Liberace Technologies" Lib Tech is all I ride

As someone who breaks snowboards all the time because I suck, Lib Tech snowboards/Gnu, Mervin Manufacturing, are hands down the best boards money can buy. They are what every company in their industry should strive to be like, and now I've seen the genius responsible for my affinity for your Mom's " Box Scratcher. "

Mervin manufacturing is the tits! I love my new gnu air machine powder board. Sickest board I’ve ever ridden! Also have a T Rice pro and love it too.

Shouldn’t have dropped muller

[@BishopofBayeux]

I still ride the Mullair! I have been riding one since 2017 when it came out. I’m super sad they dropped Nico, he is the sickest rider, his line choices are always so flowy and fun watching him ride makes me wanna get out there.
