Banana Split

Two years ago in an attempt to become more eco positive, Chris Edmonds produced a movie called "My Own Two Feet". It was the first all man powered snowboard film. As part of the filming Chris and his crew all built split boards. Through this process Chris acquired all the tools and began converting snowboards into split board back country accessing machines.














Here's a few shots of Chris and Mikey Wier converting a Lib-Tech Skate Banana snowboard into a split board. If you have all the tools, it's a relatively easy process. For this conversion we used a Voile split board hardware kit. It comes with all the hardware you need and instructions on how to cut the board and install the hardware. Keep an eye out for shots of Mikey riding his Banana Split board last winter in the movie. Special thanks to Chris Edmonds and Leeward Cinema.
