Ernie00 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well Bruce did it again.. I got my board after a long wait and the board looks perfect. The board is a Custom RC 180 Titanal board. Bruce tweaked it a little for a tall and skinny dude like me. I must say my first experience with Bruce was beyond my expectations. Bruce is very professional and he always took the time to answer my e-mails or phone calls. He really took the time to explain what he did and why he does it that way so you can understand things a little better. Definitaly I would recommend everyone to get a custom board, it's a fun experience being involved in the process. Really can't wait to put this one to the test. !

eaglez Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Did you design that topsheet or was it stock for this year? Remindes me a little of a Prior with the round tail and all. Bruce is a helluva nice guy to work with isn't he? Very down to earth and really knows how to get his terminology across to the layman in order to get you the perfect custom carving tool. Highly recommended!! :D Congrats and hope she rips it up!!! D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 it's a new topsheet for this year that he has. The rounder tail came when he had to reduce the contact to 159 instead of 162 with a Normal RC... he kept the extra 3 cm on the tail to add shape and lateral stifness to the rear.

Thor VonRippington Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 There are a lot of good things to say about Bruce's product (looks, shape, personality, quality... ect). I've had the pleasure of ridding many. But I gotta say... love the insert pattern... gives you the options to really dial it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglez Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Call me blind or stupid, but what is different about the insert pattern. Looks like any other pattern to me. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Call me blind or stupid, but what is different about the insert pattern. Looks like any other pattern to me. D. 2cm apart instead of 4cm (gives more options).. a few build this way but most do not... I prefer 2cm but it's probably due to the crapola binders I can't seem to find a replacement for. edit: actualy.. it's the cant plate I "can't" seem to shake (burton/ibex)... which requires the offset center disc to correctly dial in the stance width. Stop :rolleyes: at me CJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It's a great looking borad, I'm sure you'll be stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelP Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Nice Ernie, I'm so glad you went with the Titanal, you'll be in love. I've got 5 coming soon too (2 for me and 3 for friends). Maybe I'll see you out here again. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest naj Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 nice board you have there!!! great new top topsheets from coiler...however, I cant wait to see someone who ordered a board with the new flame design... hey, do boards from coiler come with a base bevel? i heard it comes wih a 89 degree bevel but i don't know if it's on the base or on the side...

Ernie00 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 90 degrees they come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Not that I mind the whole maple leaf thing. But what took my breath away is that sexy, shapely, waist and taper. Beautiful nose and what a tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 does he do his own topsheet design? that looks beautiful but I'll be getting a custom topsheet. Hopefully I'll be getting it before the new year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailman Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ernie, How long it's take after you order the board at Coiler before you receive it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleb Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think if you make your order now, you might recieve it before february. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest naj Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 my order was placed last june then the building schedule was set on late october. and now i will be seeing it in about 2 days:biggthump i personally do not mind the wait (but thta's just bec i'm really jaded). plus i know it will be worth it!!! plus the new topsheets are just awesome:D the reason it takes a long time is because there's a crap load of TLC that is needed to be stuffed in the board.

Ernie00 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Took a little while... I talked to bruce right after Xmas last year.. he tried to get the board out for my trip to aspen but there was trouble with his supplier so he couldn't. The season was then over so decided on Sept build with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
