has magnatraction sidewalls/edges to help hold an edge on ice, superr rockered, the libtech skate bananna is basically the same thing, gnu owns libtech or vice versa not too sure. Its a really soft board, and its all for park really

The rocker pretty much kills everywhere. Super flexy with stability. I've got a skate banana and have to say its the only reason i'll snowboard over ski sometimes. And yes Gnu owns Lib Tech.

The snowboarding buyer at my shop has been riding his since since last spring, he says it is the best park board he has ever ridden, and he has ridden a good portion of them. He's a board whore.

the heel side edge is super crazy so you can carve easier on your heelside edge(carving on healside adge is harder then toeside edge), so its really good for pipe so you don't wash out on a heelside transition or landing. its got magna traction and banana rocker and all that good stuff. I would get it but it was to stiff for me(bear in mind I like a super flexy board). for a true mountain rider I would recommend it for sure.

well,, I have last year's danny kass (also rockred and banana traction) and I can assure you it's the favorite board I ever had (and I sure had a lot!). I don't know the difference between the pickle and the danny kass tough, I guess the pickle might be softer?

correct. the park pickle is made for park but does everything relatively well because its rockered

like someone else mentioned, the park pickle is like the kass board or skate banana (rocker, magna,) but the main difference, and the thing that makes it unique is the different heel and toe side carving and sidecut.
