BlueB Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Kinda unfortunate name for a carving board... Who knows about these babies? Bryan? Apparently custom made in Whistler by a place that has longer tradition then Prior... Killer hi-tech construction from what I've heard. Many exported to Japan.

Dave* Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I only know of a few rumours The guy used to live and build on a very small scale in whistler, moved to the ?Kootenays? and apparently still making the odd board and skiis. I yapped with a guy that knew the guy a few years ago, so take with a grain of salt. I think the only Hi-tec thing he did out of the ordinary was lace kevlar string back and forth between the edges, that is all I know other than the odd board has been spotted on craigslist. dave* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks Dave! I like the woodies, but the guy wants way too much money for short boards... OT: Is your compuer spam-blocking my emails again? Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I can't remeber his name but I met the owner and his girlfriend a few years ago, super nice people. If I recall correctly his board were pretty solid. I try to find his business card. Think Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I rode with the guy for a couple of days during the 2003 summit session. Didn´t try his boards unfortunately. But as Snowman said really nice people. I´l check for his business card if it´s any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Stevens Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 One of Carl's Skid's will be my next NoBoard. Very light and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slider32 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sorry to dredge up an old thread, Just want to add some info. Carl, the owner of Skid, is living in Golden, and as far as I know, will still build boards/skis for people if they want them. My 178 all mountain is still going strong after about 8 or so years.

slider32 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Slider, that shape is great, whats the waist on that, 22cm or so?? Don't remember offhand, board is in storage currently, when I drag it out I will have to measure. It's a beauty, like a violin! Pithy for that unfortunate transition from nose to body geometries... Not sure what you mean by that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
