Randy T. Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 That's one fine a$$ wood board. Is the logo inlaid with something? If so what is it?? Looks similar to abalone shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Kirk, I have always followed the 3' overhead rule. We've been looking for places in Ogden the last few nights - getting closer. Randy, I assume the inlay is abalone. I've been trying to figure out how many individual piece they used for the logo. I can't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Most impressive!! That is simply gorgeous! For being relatively new to snowboarding, you sure catch on fast!! Druell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Amazing look! =O And a great board too. Dont be afraid to ride it everywhere, because its certainly not limited to powder. Pogo really knows how to do woodys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 That's just the coolest, surfiest snowboard I've ever seen. The mother of pearl or whatever it is adds the perfect "ocean" detail...reminding us of snowboarding's surfing ancestry and attitude. Truly an amazing, breathtaking work of art. Even sexier than an Arbor woody. Thanks for sharing! ( May the clueless liftline jackasses restrain themselves from dinging it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks Bryan, the Pogo seems to be absolutely as solid as it is beautiful! I've got a lot to live up to on the mountain! Hey Pow, we pondered putting a mop on my head (I am "hair challenged") and throwing some clothes around for the photo, but hey, it's been done before with a Pogo. I can not wait to ride it in different conditions. I trust there is some alpine influence in there somewhere coming from Pogo. Dano, I was thinking I would read through the "how to arm your board" threads again. Maybe I'd also get some pointers from the concealed weapons thread going on in Off Topic. I will NOT be running over the tails of a few of those guys. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I was considering putting death spikes on the tail of my alpine, but i dont want to take away from the natural beauty of the snowboard. I dont even use a stomp pad for that same reason edit: And dont you go copying me:nono: theres only room for one photo of a teenage addrenaline junkie with a sweet powder board;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even use a stomp pad for that same reason Pow, you are young, smarter than most and you know the whole "Stomp Pad" debate right! It is likely to raise some hair, but they just make sense for so many reasons. It is an excellent example of common sense vs machismo. Granted I am not looking to goober up 1800$ custom snowboard with a 10$ stomp pad, yet clearing my heel so I can quickly and safely board same rocket ship makes sense? Yes? Many of my best and most respected alpine brotherin are NOT interested in adding a stomp pad. I understand, it distracts, it is not needed (ie: I am an expert and a stomp pad is for newbies). I have also witnessed them struggling to get the heel to locked in, bouncing off rutty , icy exit platforms. I only know that that little piece of plastic is a great value and it looks much better than an injury or the back of the guy that just jooked me heading for the untracked. Let the flaming begin. Stepping off soap box. Back to normal :rolleyes: Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I understand your point of view too, and id probably be a little less sore if i had invested in one. I guess im just willing to experience a little pain for the sake of a clean topsheet (ohh, and if youve ever ridden the moorse mountain chairlift at smugglers notch VT, you know that even for an experienced rider a stomp pad is usefull) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Just be careful what stomps you use, some of the smaller bubble ones are unintrusive. I know that a lot of Virus owners use them because of the unique beauty of their topsheets, I recommend them. It doesn't really matter who manufactures them, some of them will fall off. But when you're only paying $5 for more than you need you can afford to replace a few over the season. Anyone riding on an icy exit knows what you're talking about Bryan. Sometimes it just makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Thankfully, as Slooptool is saying (I think ;)), boards are for riding! If you want it to stay perfect, hang it on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yea thats the way to ride. No traction with the back foot unless its strapped in.... Falling on traverses blocking the traverses for riders with stomp pads tring to get by, but need to stop and hike the rest of the way because you are to cool to but a adhisive traction pad in a place your foot goes any time it is not attached? Plus you can look cool at the lodge with your "clean looking" stick after falling while getting on and off the chair lift, but still keeping yout cool guy clean look. But my TOY has no eye sores or scratches???????????? Its a TOY!!!!! PS I wish stomp pads looked like butts so I could kick some butt every time I use mine!

Hans Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I have a 175 (wood) Pogo Longboard (for eight seasons) and yes it's a bloody shame to use a pad on this board. It's the most versatile board I have ever ridden, and it's fast and stable, no shatter at high speeds, titanal: not needed!!! GSSkiers can't follow my trail , even on softies they can't beat me (avatar) . My next board will be a Pogo Longboard 200 cm!! No need to use a stomp pad, it's ugly and of no use on this one. You will like this one a lot. Greets, Hans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buell Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey Hans, If I love this one, I will be thinking about the 200 Pogo Longboard myself in a year or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy T. Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I have a few wood boards and love the look and beauty of them but I also like using stomp pads. The best I have found are these metal studs from Dakine. I think the gun metal color compliments the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Stevens Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 If you got on the stomp pad thing from my comment on the noboard pad, you should all look at trying your big boards with NO BINDINGS. This stomp pad talk is strange... who cares if you cover a bit of your graphics... at least you'll be able to hang on the traverses, as Bordy points out. The noboard pad replaces the bindings, but if you don't want to commit like that, put a stomp pad behind each binding and stand on them with both feet out for good times. Bring a leg rope, or you'll be walking home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
