  1. Thanks!

    We are planning to produce and skwals too. But a bit later.

    Right now we’re making children slalom line. 120SL (done), 133SL (in process), 145SL (done), 163GS (done)

    This weekend we found the proper stiffness for 185GS. We spent for this work about 2 months !

    Inside this board are 8 layers excepting base & topsheet.

    to BlueB: After sending boards to you we had rebuilt cambers of following models: 162SL, 157SL, 185GS, 175GS, 163GS

    For 162SL it has been 5th camber generation. After this rebuilding boards got more easy gone out from a turn. For slalom it's important.

    As you see at pictures we ride at other (custom kessler) slalom boards for compare boards ride.

    Also we send our boards for test to professional racers. Some from them changed kessler to OES. Some said that kessler is more good.

    But we continue polishing our 162/157SL line.

    About edges: we produce CUSTOM boards. For each board we can produce any other options. All models which we produce have at least 2 versions of stiffness. Regular (medium) and soft. ("S" after size number at the tail, "M" - medium, "H" - hard)

    Race boards which we produce have 5 types of base sides (for different temperatures & humidity). 2 types of sidewall's (regular ABS & Phenol. Phenol is famous race ski topic.) Also we have a lot of other options.

    About freecarving boards:

    If you have your dream about geometry of board - say it about me and it's possible that we'll start produce it. I need to receive from you file in AutoCAD (or any other file format in original size) draft of board shape + camber draft. Also we can produce your personal design for this board.

  2. Racers sharping edges after 1-2 trainings.

    If you ride at a board within week or more you can forget that your edges have -4 degrees.

    *race board made for race line, training, competitions. this is _NOT_ freecarving board.

    Yes, I have _original_ Duret snowboard drafts from Jean-Philippe Thevenod. But I didn't open this file(s) last some years.

    Sidecut of Bulat board is not the same the swoard sidecat. Camber is different.

    I don't have swoard at our factory for sending you compare photos, but I have kessler.

    Today I will post here photos.

    In Russia, I have big individual "fun club". Face OFF persons here are from this my russian "fun club" . We can see them in this topic.

    They have enough cowardice for post anonymous messages in pub forums and enough boldness post here them names.

  3. There are two funny stories going on here:

    - One guy that's supposedly in Russia that also makes boards in Spain.

    We've never hided our face. Yes, our factory is located in Spain. But the owners are from Russia.

    I'm one of the owners of the the OnEdge Style company. There are links on my old videos:

    http://carving.onedge.ru/Video/sunset.wmv

    http://carving.onedge.ru/Video/Volen_March_18_2010.wmv

    http://carving.onedge.ru/Video/Treadle.wmv

    Now we're planning to make new video with our snowboards.

    Why did we organize our snowboard manufacturing in Spain?… Why not in Russia.. This is the typical question. Our main goal is producing very good and high quality Alpine snowboards. It's logical, that this goal means availability good and high quality materials. But in Russia we can't buy special high quality materials for our snowboard production. Because,Russia doesn't have such materials. In Europe, we can buy high quality plastic, special epoxy resins, edges, woodcores, titanal etc easily. It’s absolutely unreal idea to buy the same materials in Russia. If we've imported these materials from Europe to Russia, it would have made the cost price of each board more and more expensive than you can imagine. If we had organized our snowboard manufacturing in Russia the shipment of materials for production and especially customs duties would have made the cost price of each board impossibly high and unprofitable for buyers. And we decided to build our production in Spain. So, this is the reason why people with Russians names have snowboard manufacturing in Europe. Now we have excellent and talented international team. Our workers are from Spain, France, Ukraine, Russia. Also we successfully cooperate with professional engineers-snowboard-builders from Canada, France and Switzerland.

  4. to snowmatic:

    Seen you our boards ? Not ? What talk about ?

    I give you ANY model of our boards as free if you publish where our board(s) the same kessler, virus, swoard.

    Come on for searching !

    Russian national racing team have -4 sharping.

    I do not see a field talk with you about this topic. Are you FIS racer ? Please post here your name & FIS code.

  5. to FortuneTeller: Please say your real name, city & your personal relations with mentioned board.

    Im never not declared inside Bulat boards next material: kevlar, vectran, titanal, twaron....

    I said only about carbon.

    +

    Do you know what will give addition to a board kevlar ? Or vectran ?

    We _had_ the cause for skipping glass reinforcements in the Board (first Bulat series).

    = boards without glass have more perfect ride. Fiberglass is kill the ride.

    But life compel us making compromise production. Now our Bulat boards have Fiberglass as reinforcements (for avoid .... posts at forums).

    We do not see sense use thin hardwood stripes in our boards. Our _tests_ seen unnecessary it.

    We started produce boards in May, 2013.

    Next 6 months we spent for test our production. Over 200 prototypes in the same geometry but with other material.

    We finded combinations good for ride.

    From October, 2013 we started produce retail production and continue our researching.

    The aim of our researching: board ride.

    Only board ride.

    We use in our production 6 types of woodcores from OTHER suppliers.

    We use over 40 ! types of composite fibers and over 20 types fiberglass. We use 4 types of epoxy resin from _expensive_ and famous suppliers like Huntsman (u reading/ed russian forum and seen my pictures with Huntsman barrels and not only with Huntsman). Our investments in the factory in given moment is over $2M.

    Not all is perfect of course. But we started less than one year ago and we finded/ing our way for boards production.

    U'r from russian and your very good know who from russian riders work in our team. You know about them ride level. You know about my ride level. You know the story about me & Choc Technology...

    You reading discussions at russian's forum about our boards and know opinion russian riders about our production.

    Maybe you will post ALL this information at this forum too. No ? Ok.

    What about your real name ?

    Do not hesitate write it.

  6. About edges:

    Frecarve boards: -2

    Race boards: -4

    Children race boards: -2

    Russian national team ask do not sharp them edges and they get our board without sharping. It is not a problem for us.

    Photo from cup of russia what was some days ago.

  7. The board from pictures had been broken in Russian carving session in end of the last year.

    Rider was 95kg what is much more for this board.

    But. After this case we had changed construction for avoiding problems like this.

    All our boards have 15 months warranty and case of the picture is the warranty case (change to new one).

    //board at picture: we produc_ed_ boards _only_ with expensive carbon without any fiberglass inside. /Carbon - some tens EUROs for one piece, inside board of the picture 4 carbon layers. Fiberglass - 2 EUROs for all pieces inside board/ It was cause of the problem. If a rider doing parasitical move his foot then inserts will move out. Much more boot size & metal binding - much more fast inserts move out. This is a typical problem. But we are doing boards what live under like riding.

    Yes. Sometimes boards have crash & delaminating but this is warranty case's.

    P.S. Board of the picture was TEST board what had been sent as FREE at russian carving session with other our models.

    We did not get money for this board.

  8. I think it's a biggest gamble I've ever seen on snowboard market.

    Here you can see "Bulat" in action:

    [ATTACH]38132[/ATTACH]

    This board was broken during the first test.

    There are extremely cheap materials inside: simple wood core and no fancy stuff at all.

    It's easily delaminated because they use inexpensive epoxy resin.

    With regard to edge hold, check the edges. They are usually tuned up to -6 degrees to provide an extra grip for a short time.

    1.

    This is lie.

    This is _not_ delaminated and this is not epoxy problem.

    Yes, we got some like cases before and from start on this 2014 year we changed our produce technology for fixing this problem.

    2.

    This is lie.

    Edged have -2 degrees.

    So: lie & lie.

    Why ?

  9. Please help me to find Jeff Caron.

    I write to E-mail Catek and call Phone/Fax: 401.624.8999 every day.

    But he doesn’t answer on my letters. I'm tired of listening to his answering machine every day for a month.

    If you know how to contact with Jeff (his cell phone or anything else), please let me know. Thanks.
