I got a great explanation by the owner of nu-wave sports, a shop that sponsors my buddy. He said that lib-tech realize that snowboards aren't skis, so they started thinking. When you pop in to your bindings on skis, your weight pushes against the camber, and makes the skis totally flat against the snow. When you strap into a board that is cambered the same way, your feet stay toward the outside ends of the board, and therefore, you don't counteract as much of the camber. With the skate banana, Your feet are still in the traditional position that they would be on a board, but since the camber is reversed, your feet counteract the camber, and you are left with a board that has two full carving edges on the ground.
