Sweet deal !
-
Be much neater if SG did that at the factory - taking a rasp to a brand new stick would not be my first choice!
-
Corey I guess stuffing the nose enough to bend the board may well damage a fg/cf board too, but the damage may be less evident. If you exceed the elastic limit you've probably still broken some of the fibres. How that impacts the ride I don't know. I do know they proof test skyhook fg booms with an ultrasonic gage just how many fibres are broken. Ernir00/Ursle thanks - good info.

The recent thread from Alexey (OES) discussing durability of metal boards and Sean developing his ‘secret’ titanal replacement, got me wondering just how many of you BOL’ers have ever actually had a modern metal board delaminate, bend or otherwise fail with normal use? Can probably exclude race boards and rider ‘abuse’ from this question [unless you have some epic photo’s or stories to add :) ]. NOT interested in starting a brand war, just some real world info.

Jolly good show SVR - the epitome of a gentleman's express!
-
I sense an opportunity for a enterprisng young Doc to develop a similar setup for the ankle, but with a direct interface to Mr. E's plate thereby eliminating the need for boots and bindings :) Evolution baby!!
-
Nice work - what material is plate?
-
With a scr 0.51 shorter than the board this thing should be just the ticket for tight trees :)
-
Hey thanks - great info. Have been stalking a Nomad for a while (should have jumped on that 170 that sold here recentish). Love the subtitle in video: 'more float=less tomahawk' Amen to that brother! : )
-
How would you rate in comparison to your Nomad?
-
Here, here Jack. Each to their own, but I did the math and still chose to get my boots from Bomber - figured the extra scratch would flow back one way or another. Sure enough, Jim flicked me an extra cant plate for 'free'. Yeah it didn't cover the difference, but maybe that went toward web hosting costs, ATC or some other worthwhile cause. I'm good with that.
-
Any idea of a weight range?
-
Perhaps there are some new TD4's in the suitcase?!
-
Understood. re Bomber - was more referring to any of the costs for the new forum (or maintaining old one); figure if it is to become a community based enterprise we should put some money where our mouth is :)
-
Thanks Corey. Please let me know if you think contributing to a crowd fund would help with the interim arrangements; figure it's the least I can do given the info, support and value I have got from this forum.
-
Love the piece of 2x6 with flutes! Why did headbands ever go out of fashion?!
-
Seems to me that we (the carving community) have a chance to help out here. I would be willing to kick the can with some cash in some form of crowd funding. Not sure how many active members there are (Administrators?/) but say $20 x 1000 may help out securing this forum, even if we can't help to save Bomber.
-
and then some; imagine those prices are almost double original!
-
Cool as heck - love the start jump!
-
Salty Peaks might have something (they do new + used/consignment) and they have a decent board museum - about 15 drive from downtown
-
That bookmatched grain is VERY tasty - I've suddenly developed a termite like appreciation for timber!
-
I know a guy who knows a guy with a Donek shaped hole in his quiver that this would fill :)
-
Using that same cycling analog, all elite road riders should be great down hill mountain bikers too.... :) I have no doubt it"s my technique AG; and practice makes perfect, but try as I may I just can't seem to get the overnight grooming crew to leave me 20 in of Teton blower every night to hone my skills (although last season was almost that!). Still, if means suffering smoked quads and a terrible thirst, I'm willing to persevere!
-
I'm with you Jim; pow destroys me - I think its the constant lack of push back'feel' from the board that does me over - a reflex of always trying to find bottom (which makes zero sense)
-
Guessing that box of ammo is surplus to requirements when you're packin' a Death Star Monster and a fleet of Stealth bombers....
