Great! Thank's for the feedback. So maybe i don't need Magna Traction.
But do Lib Techs still feel glassy or plastic? On the topic of
aluminum core boards. I will never ride one due to the cost.They are
way out of my range thanks.
One last question, whats a Titanal


Titanal is a metal alloy that is mostly aluminum - it is used in the
high end raceboards - many of the Olympics GS snowboarders (not SBX)
were sporting Titanal boards (Gold/Silver/Bronze medalists). Here are
some articles on it.

I'm not sure if I can describe the LibTech feel in the way you want. I
know that Mike T used to describe the Salomon boards as plasticky, but
I really liked that capped, torsion box feel - which the LibTech
Phoenix has... so maybe? I really like the flex of the Phoenix. I
think you are going to have to ride them yourself to really tell.
