Guest moa Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hi, Does anyone know anything about Riot carving boards? , I was wanting info on the Supercarve 180 (I think thats the correct name) If you happen to know what the Turn Radius , Centre / Tail / & Nose widths are , that would be a start. Any other Good or Bad experiences could be helpful, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I know of the one in New Zealand. If you want to get in contact, send me an e-mail via this site. I am down in Wanaka from mid August, so my interest will wane from early August. Cheers SunSurfer (aj.mckenzie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just bought this actual board (in NZ), and will plug the actual measurements into Nate's calculator when it arrives in a couple of days. Advertised as "Riot Supercarve 180 Approx 11m radius 240 tip 175 waist 235 tail This board is in mint condition has barely been used. Base & edges are perfect , Fantastic Carve/Race board for someone. Will suit an aggressive rider, Lots of camber & very stiff" Completely different top sheet from the Riot Velocity boards featured in Reviews and in other threads. Get to ride it in a couple of weeks!

SunSurfer Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just got round to loading detailed photos. Took this, a PJ 6.2 reg assym and an old Avalanche Chris Saunders 167 away for two weeks last NZ winter (Aug 2008) to Cadrona / Treble Cone fields in South Island NZ. Now nearly 50 (182cm, 82kg), I've slalom skateboarded since the 1970's (pre-urethane wheels) and had been trying to get the hang of carving after two planks got too boring. Was too chicken to try the Riot at first, but when I actually climbed on board it was the easiest of the three to ride. In 5 days I went from not being entirely confident of getting down the beginners slopes without a tumble to being confidently carving all the groomed slopes the fields had to offer. The board is very quick from edge to edge, and stable at speed. From measurements Nates calculator brings the sidecut radius in around 12.5m. Using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine - http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html Riot's old web pages talk about them not as a race board but as a tool for just blasting around at speed. Good carving boards are hard to find in NZ and hellishly expensive to import. I enjoy this one so much it is unlikely to be sold before I die! My 2 cents worth- If you get a chance to try/buy a Riot in good condition, take the opportunity, you're unlikely to regret it! And not all of them look like the one that Chubz has for sale.

Snowman Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 That is a special, beautiful and demanding board. Cherish it there arent many around. That is one that stays in the quiver forever! Think Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
