Victory

All emails received and responded. Photos coming soon.

There are two reasons for that. (1) I had to start somewhere and these were the sizes that I was being asked for the most. The focus on these boards is the contact length rather than the total length of the board...they ride much longer then they are. (2) The plan is to take the first five custom orders by waiving the custom charge...they get a fully custom board for way less and I get a new mold and shape to ad to my roster. As for weight, I build these boards for 175 to 195lbs riders...which of course is totally customizable. Hopefully that answers your questions.

All I can say is thanks guys for the overwhelming amount of emails of support. I clearly have the answer I was looking for. Keep the comments coming! Jason

With respect to Fin and this forum I don't want to get too much into it. Simply email me at info (at) logicsnowboards.com (Logic is the name of my factory here in Canada) for additional info. But to quickly answer your question, here's the breakdown: Standard PreCured Construction: $795 CAN Metal Construction: $995 CAN Full Custom Boards: Start at $1395 CAN depending on what you are looking for. Lead-time is usually around 4 weeks from the time of order and payment. Cheers!

I would sell my soul to come down for that. Too many obligations with the business to make it unfortunately. Thanks to all that have emailed me already!

Hey guys, I just wanted to fill you all in on a project I have been working on for a couple of years now called "Victori". I got approached by a SBX coach a while back about building some custom boards that would be stiff, damp and be able to grip firm snow like there's no tomorrow. I'm always keen for a new challenge, so I set out to develop the ultimate boardercross board. Metal construction, pretensioned/precured glass laminates, CNC machined cores, kevlar impact plates in the binding areas, the inserts are individually glassed in place...all the bells and whistles you can imagine. Until now they've been in the R&D phase and now I'm ready to make them available to the public. For those of you who don't know me, I've been building boards for a long time now (15 years I believe)...I used to build a lot of alpine boards particularly custom stuff that even won a few World Cup events. Since then I've been busy running a brand called Clyde Snowboards while still building custom boards on the side because that is where my passion is. Basically I'd love to know what you guys think. I have no idea what to expect in terms of reaction and sales, but you never know until you try right? Input, advise, criticism... I'd love to hear it all. I have a PDF spec sheet with all the construction info and specs for the available boards, so feel free to email me at info@logicsnowboards.com and I will send it to you. Thanks guys!

This year on January 15th there was an inversion that lasted about a week. It was 15 Degrees C on the top of the hill with Spring slush conditions. I'm not sure if that's normal for Big White as it was my first time there in years.

...but then Rosenthal started M4 (which was not a very smart idea) and got sued by M3, so now we can add M4 to the list. All of those guys are on Artec now (which we will soon add to the list...lol).

..I can't believe nobody hasn't mentioned "Smelly Tuna". As for Revelation, they became Hard 8 Manufacturing who made Capita Snowboards for about a year before Capita left for Elan which in turn put Hard 8 out of business (many sides to the story that I won't get into). Don't forget: Powderstick White Elephant Legend Next Invasion King Gank Virgin Beyond Skid ....all VERY small Canadian snowboard brands.

...I guess I don't lurk as much as I thought I did : ) Sorry about that, I got excited and thought I'd seen just about every post on here. As for the boards, I'm located in Calgary now and I have my dream shop over here. I just bought a CNC machine and invested in an in-house graphic sublimation system, so my equipment roster is finally complete (for now : ). I'm running 6 presses, a couple grinders, and all the rest of the usual equipment. It's just me though...no employees. Building boards like a madman and lovin' every minute of it. There hasn't been too much demand for custom alpine stuff, but I still build them from time to time...mostly for myself and a few friends who carve. I've got a stash of super high-end and rare materials that I save for my alpine boards. I even have a proprietary base material that no one else has. Fastest stuff I've ever built into a board. It keeps things really interesting for me....I'd do it full-time if I could.

I've got a pair of slightly used (approx. 5 days) Burton Wind boots in a size 28 for sale. They are the blue ones with yellow accents (not sure the year) but they are in perfect condition. $100 Canadian (buyer pays the shipping) Email me (Jason) at: logicsnow at shaw dot ca

...in Fernie, BC. January 15th after a 60cm dump that week. Ohhhhhh yaaaaaaaa.......

Boris, it's killing me that I'm not in Vancouver during this killer season you're having! Then again Fernie just keeps getting pounded, so I can't complain.

Boy, you guys really got screwed on the weather! So jealous right now.

Farmer is riding for Smokin Snowboards out of Tahoe and Alex Warburton is designing bindings for Forum Snowboards down in Irvine, CA. The last I checked anyway.

The Iso NANO Speed base is the fastest that I've ever experimented with. You really notice a difference when you get down in the flats, especially at the bottom of a racecourse. Of course, a waxed and tuned Sintered 2000 is still faster than an unwaxed graphite base.

Got it! Thanks Scott... If anyone else if wondering, it's not called the Fusion X as I thought; it's called the Frontier BX 164 (part of the Speed series). I know I must of had it wronf, cuz NOTHING came up in my search.

Does anybody remember the 2001 (I believe) Burton Fusion X Boardercross-specific board? It was the same year as the Burton Speed alpine boards with the black topsheets and red sidewalls. Anyway, I'm trying to dig up info on that board....any info would be MUCH appreciated. Cheers! PS - I've found a bunch of info on the Fusion from 2000, but I'm specifically looking for the 2001 model. Anyone with old catalogs out there? lol.

I couldn't have said it better myself D-Sub. That's EXACTLY how it feels. Oh, you know I'm always game for a custom (info@logicsnowboards.com is the email).

Thanks for the kind words Cristan. Great to see that the board is still getting riding time! You guys are really making me miss building custom alpine boards on a bigger scale. It's so much more rewarding than building jibber boards for unappreciative kids....ok, maybe that's not fair, but you know what I mean. Hmmmm..... anyone wanna dare me to do it? lol.

Ya, that's weird that it doesn't work(???). I'm not sure why, becasue the site is working just fine. Strange.

Sorry Boris, I've gotta chime in here. I've never worked for Generics, but I did use to ride for them back in the day. I have two brands, one is Logic Snowboards (www.logicsnowboards.com) and the other (new) one is called Clyde Snowboards (www.clydesnowboards.com). You won't find any alpine stuff on either of those sites as building alpine boards is more of a passion project for me. I make all custom boards under my last name...Broz. Ok, so I have 3 brands : ) Hopefully that sets the record straight.

Maple is extremely heavy and better restricted to the insert areas. Aspen is used by most companies due to its weight and flex memory. It rebounds extremely quickly back to its original (pressed) shape which translates to a snappy flex and quicker edge to edge turns. A little know advantage of Aspen is that it is really easy to machine and work with, so that's another reason why it is the wood of choice by the majority of manufacturers out there. As for other wood species, poplar is also popular (no pun intended), but mostly due to its cost. Balsa is too weak and absorbs more resin than Aspen, so the weight savings are actually quite minimal. Bamboo has its place as a stringer, and so do some lighters woods like Suma (an African wood). Anyway, I could talk about this stuff all day...

Ruwi....watch for the Grouse crew this season. There's 3 of us hardbooters that usually ride in the evenings.
