  1. 2009 SG Cult

    in All-Mountain Hardboot Board Reviews

    Posted

    GREAT to hear that, Scrapster! I cannot wait to put it to the test. Here in WA we have every condition there is. Many times you will find hardpack cord, 8" of pow, slush and then hardpack all in a 7 day span. I have a soft boot Gyrator for the "white room" days but want to be a hardbooter the rest of the time.

    This board is technically called the "Sigi All Mountain". It is a cross between the hardboot Cult and the soft boot Soul. I had NO idea it existed either until Bola told me about it. I can send you the PDF advertisement for it if you send me your email. I warn you though; you will want to buy one.... <O:p

    HA! Bryan, I got your name right because I too deal with this as people throw a K in front of my name at times.

    After taking a look at the spec sheet, measuring my stance width angles I want to ride the wide is my choice, gladly so. It really is a sweet board and i am amped. Bola, being super helpful and accommodating, sent me a PDF of the advertisement and full spec sheet SG composed that showed each size and width, recommended angles etc. I can send it to you if you PM me your email. Its a really thorough sheet that I have only seen from SG (similar to the link you posted but more of an advertisment). I could not post it here as its not a jpeg and it exceeds the forum's limit of 97.7 KB to attach. Here is the picture Bola sent me so I could choose between top sheet colors. Mine is the grey on the right. Should be here mid week just in time for Saturday's trip to the mt. to break'er in! Thanks for your input with this!

    Thanks again Bryan. That spec sheet is top notch! All board companies should make that standard practice. I am pulling the trigger on it by week’s end as Im 98% there. Just need to decide on waist width. Logic tells me to go wider as I have big feet but I dont want to lose performance because of it. Thanks a ton for the link and info on ABS. Bola seems very genuine. I look forward to working with him. I contacted SG directly and they said this board is "the one for me" given my preferences and stature. They also said the Bola was the man. Ill keep you posted

    Thanks Bryan!

    He was extremely helpful on the phone and suggests I go with the cult. He spent as much time as I needed explaining the intricacies of the boards and my options. I told him a price range and he respected it. Id say an SG Cult is a good deal for my wants and needs and he does too.<O:p

    Any input, opinions, experiences on the Cult?

    Okay, this is the last inquiry post i will make before I pull the trigger on a "mostly carving" but also a little off piste hardboot board... Down to a few but the SG Cult keeps coming up. All Board Sports in Boulder has a few new "few year old", regular width (23cm) and wide (25.5). I would be putting a Nidecker Free Carve or Snowpro plate binding on it (I think)... Also, I think is is worth mentioning again that I am 230lbs 6'6" and wear size 31 mondo Head Startos pros.

    Suggestions, criticisms etc?<O:pThanks again for everyone’s help in my search for the perfect all-mt. carving board.Anyone deal with All Board Sports in CO before? <O:p

    My buddy has last years 156 and he is 180lbs and strong... no sweat for him in the trees and on pow. I rode it once and found it to be ridged as heck with a large scooping nose that helps it carve. I am a believer. The set back is substantial but im not sure exactly how much. the technology makes sense if you look into it. I was very tempted to nab the 2011 160. Im 230 lbs and think it would serve me well. Plus it is an amazingly beautiful board. Already have a softboot pow board.<O:p</O:p

    Tanker 177 is wide like a steam boat... You want 172 old version, 180 or 192...

    SO tanker over the 165 F2 huh? I am told the F2 is stiff enough for me but is it long enough for a 6'6" 230 pounder.. and oh yes, I want the cambered (no rocker) non-oversized older version. I will ride steeper angles or use my palmer pls plates if need be. I want quick edge to edge and solid hold when carving.

    Revising my last post.

    being more specific here: WTB All-Mountain Hardboot board 170cm + / 24.5cm+. Would love to make an easy trade for my 2010-2011 166w K2 Slayblade that is in GREAT condition (8.5 out of 10). LOTS of life in this flatline tech board. Ridden 10 days total. I am wanting more of a freeride/carvey hardboot setup. Will come up with cash if needed (sub $300 please).

    Thanks!
