Dave Winters Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 O.k., This will be fun. I'm ordering my new Donek and I'm again using the fabric topsheet option. And I can't decide on fabric, so I'm letting you, the Bomber Community, in all your infinite wisdom, pick it! I've narrowed it down for you.

Steve Prokopiw Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 If it was mine;Seeing as how it was just marti gras, # 8 reflects what I was doing Saturday after riding but #7 reflects how I felt on the hill Sunday morning.(besides flames are everywhere)So one vote for the wavy cool #7.

Galen Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I liked Austin Powers 7. Dont know if I'd want to look at it while going really fast, though. " Do I make you dizzy, baby?":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Dahl Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Maybe #7, but I'm with Bryan, do a super cool woodgrain topsheet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Dasai Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'd like a pair of shorts in 7. Hell, why not a get a one-piece to match your topsheet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncermak Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 for a guy with such good taste in wood grain, I have to agree with the guys above...Clear over your own woodgrain design...even if you just photo it and put it in as a custom graphic it would be extraordinary... -NBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I like the wood grain flame idea. If that doesn't go well, just go for a picture of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 now THAT ^^^ would be a scary topsheet! I'm pretty sure you'd chase all the gapers off the mountain, they'd be so scared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Przemek/Brooklyn Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 All flames (unless made of wood), gosts and demos are kind of cheesy. I like dice, martini or the last one.They have more city vibe. Tribal and psyhodelic are just too annoyng and you will be sick of it soon. It is very personal but sice you ask for opinion.

Chubz Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 #3 gets my vote but hold off on the wood flames top sheet. I am putting wood flame topsheet on my second board build this summer. I wasnt gonna post until completed, but couldnt resist. Been sitting on this for several weeks. This is the topsheet for my first build, which is on hold until temps climb for epoxy (unheated garage). Topsheet not completed and needs final finishes, but you get the idea. Also pardon the dust in the pics. In order for me to get the go ahead to build, I left my wife help with the design. It's name is "Mumma" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Looking good Chubz!!! Keep us updated on the progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Started fairly basic because wood veneer is not the easiest stuff to work with, depending on the type, but I have some tricks up my sleeve for the flame pattern. Good luck in whatever sheet you decide on Dave. Makes sense, but dont do the photo of your wood work for a topsheet. It wood be like sticking a sock in your spandex. That is, of course, if you were a heavy metal god of the 80's. go with the real stuff, if you decide to go wood. Love your work by the way, didnt know it was you. I too was starting some work on cutting boards this summer, but how you get the tightness in some of your patterns, I cannot figure out.

utahcarver Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hey Dave, What model and size Donek are you getting? That would've influenced my vote more. Example, if you were getting a Blade I would have been more in favor of the 'groovy' patterns. More surface area to mezmerize the hapless hordes. OTOH, the skull pattern lends itself to the DEATHSTICK look of an Olympic race or a Freecarve. Tell us which model you are getting, most-patterned one! Mark BTW, Chubz, that is the BEST thread hijack-gone-unnoticed I've ever seen here. Could you do my deck off the house for me this summer in that same wood grain pattern? Cheers, mate!

Chubz Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 It presented itself and like I said I wasnt going to post it, but I was hoping that Dave would ask me to do one for him. It was fun doing this one. If I offended, I am sorry. #4 all the way dave. It would be cool if you could super impose the skulls with the #4 flames.

utahcarver Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Chubz, What I was 'saying' was that it was a GOOD thing that you posted your homebrew project. OMG, please don't think that I'm chiding you. Did you not read my post where I asked you to do my outside (covered) deck flooring in the same pattern as your homebrew? I still think DW (hey, I said Dee Dubya) still owes us what ride he is getting from Donek. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Winters Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Chubz--- That is da kine!!! Great work- what woods? Curly Maple and.... Quilted Bubinga? Redwood? Excellent stuff. I've decided on the Freecarve Bomber:185cm, 12.5 radius, 18.5 waist. Thanks to everyone voting. Keep 'em coming, as well as comments. Glad to see only 10% think I'm out of my mind, but all the votes aren't in yet either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
