willywhit Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 same guy sold a Madd 158 recently (I got sniped on that one!)maybe CMC? last I heard he was in that area? the carvemeister ? yeah...maybe. This is a Tomahawk Alpine World Class Race board, made in Hungary by Sigi. It is a capped construction board, 180cm long, 19.5cm at the waist and has a stance of 48.5 cm (note there are only two sets of 4 holes each so that the stance width is important. If is blazingly fast, it is the same board that is ridden by world cup riders. It has had two owners. It was owned by a Canadian team rider and was his 3rd board, I puchased it the season before last along with several other world cup class GS boards. I am on the east coast and last year was awful and wound up riding hardly at all. I am traveling heavily now and will not have the chance to ride it much so up on ebay it goes. email me with any questions travelling heavily ?? what's up with that ?Euro slalom circuit ?. sounds like he knows exactly what he's got, cmc or not. gonna be watchin' the auction. bc, I've got this big ole burner I hardly ever ride. not pink tho, blue :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 once again, you talk smack but you don't know Caps are made with a vacuum..... I have no idea where you got that idea???? I help out at garage occasionally and they are all made in a press there. Oh yeah and they are all cap construction. It just depends on the tooling you have.

wavechaser Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have not ridden the Metal tommy SL stick so I have no point of referance.I have heard some of the steamboat kids say the same. I like metal in everything. Including SL sticks. Most USSA athletes have gone to metal SL sticks. In the past year or so. Only a few T-hawks out there mostly Kesslers, SG an F2 SL sticks. The SG SL board rips with metal so do the custom Kesslers. Thanks again...someone from out your way, well - PART way, just offered me an SG SL metal...I'm getting specs - just hope it's wide enough!

cfj04 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Maybe restating the obvious - have you contacted them directly for an official position? http://home.tiscali.nl/raymondw/tomahawk/index.html PS -their website could use some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah and they are all cap construction. It just depends on the tooling you have. generally capped boards are made by bagging, many people have told me this that are in the know. usually because it's easier and cheaper to do. and the nature of that construction lends well to that method. caps are also generally low end sleds too, not the case with tomahawks but generally cap means POS. http://www.geocities.com/cheapwill2000/vacuumbagging.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's a good thing I don't take everything I read to heart .The 168 proton(cap) I got off ebay is my new favorite board.Of course I only weigh 150.This board can read my mind and is a blast to ride.I wouldn't give up the coiler for it but it kicks ass.

BlueB Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Cap construction could be superior. I'll start a new tread, do not post here any more, on this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is incorrect to generalize by branding cap boards as POS. Excellent, high end boards can and have been built using cap constuction. Identity is just one example. This has allot to do with John's work and attention to detail and advanced theories. Wish he would get to building alpine boards again. Sorry OT.

wavechaser Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Just so everyone knows...I got a definitive answer from guido591 by email. Capped T-hawks are not titanal. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has allot to do with John's work and attention to detail and advanced theories. Wish he would get to building alpine boards again. Sorry OT. generally speaking for myself only, POS to me means paying top dollar for something that is less durable, does not hold a edge as well and has few if any performance advantages not atainable with other constructions but is cheaper to produce yet I pay the same price. you can still make a mighty nice capped ride. Tomahawks and F2s great examples of quality in spite of being capped. As I mentioned before even Solomon the company that pushed caps the hardest are moving away from them. Rosignol, k2 and Head are as well in much of their lineups. most rental skis are still capped though. Mervin is too, jibbers don't like the explodamatic reaction capped boards tend to have if you beat them on rails and such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
