Mike is one of the c0-founders of Lib Tech. and Gnu.... developer of real state of the art, cutting edge equipment. Mike comes across as a thinker and a true individual, a real inspiration to anyone in his industry. As I kept reading I couldn't help but daydream about a Gnu I had back in 1993-4ish? The thought of that board brought up such great snowboarding memories, stuff I haven't thought about in a long time, (i didn't even really remember having a Gnu until half way through the article) As i continued to read I recalled having a photo of that board, so i searched....quite amped i rummaged through a big shoebox full of pictures and then I found it. The photo was exactly like I remembered...Memories came flooding back.... I was happy and satisfied at the same time with no idea why. I had a professor once tell me that the brain can make great connections with even the lousyiest image. (Our imagination's can connect the missing dots). He said sounds and or music not so much. If sound cuts out in the middle of a clip its hard to imagine what sounds are next. He was totally right. Looking at this photo I remembered everything, the correct colors, that cheap fleece burton jacket (wind would just whistle through it, loved that jacket tho), the comradrie of my friends, and how damn proud I was of that Gnu board.... It was a great couple minutes...check the photo if you like, probably will look like crap to you...haha
Thanks Mike O. it was a great board...
