Popular Post Gabe T Posted December 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 We had some early season snow that got us off to a fairly early start to the season around here. This was the first day back on the hill for Bruce since his knee replacement. Seemed like a success.... Except for hikes back to the car to switch up boards, he rode for over 5 straight hours without a break! : ) 18 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger jr Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Great news! Nice video Gabe. I was more impressed with his walking than riding, only because I was already impressed by his riding.

alpinegirl Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 How can I be assured that that truly is Bruce? The rider in the video is wearing gloves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 The thrift-store jacket is a good hint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinegirl Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 From the Coiler site. Perhaps after a million years, and maybe after that one time that he actually singed those mitts on the wood stove at holiday valley.... he retired them. Wow. Nah. That will never happen. The man deserves his legend status. Even more than admiring his riding, I was always blown away by how honest and humble he was. All the while tearing it up. Constantly looking to improve his boards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience mirrors yours . ... Me: Hi Bruce, I'm after a new snowboard, I want something that performs like 'xxx'. I think I am really smart and have narrowed it down to exactly 'yyy' specs . Bruce: Yeah .. nah . You want 'zzz' specs. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Me: *orders 'zzz' specs* rides exactly like 'xxx'. ... Best NA board builder, by far, in my humble opinion. For the price (and disregarding price except perhaps getting into astronomical Oxess/Kessler CUSTOM territory), he's the best.

I wish there was something more than a 'like' button. Alpinegirl nailed it! My experience also mirrors Daveo's: Me: "I want a Monster 182." Bruce: "You probably want a 160s AM VSR. ... slalom core ... versatile ... something else my feeble brain didn't understand..." Me: rides a 167 AM VSR a year later and can't give him my money fast enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepopa Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 it's not me that a manufacturer of top level, it's also a great guy in the everyday life with whom we can talk and have beautiful relationships! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee406 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I’m in the process of corresponding with Bruce, over building a soft boot carver...he’s super knowledgeable, really thorough...and I’ve learned so much already! I saw him ride, and beat us all at Nationals, yup, he walks the walk. Mega impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was testing out a huge batch of boards that day and that was one of the ones near the end of the day. I recall it was built for a lighter rider .
