Dave Winters Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 My new Donek FC 1 185. The bad news: we've had like 4 feet of soft powder in the last 20 or so days, so it hasn't seen much snow time. All together:"AWWWWWwwwww" And Stan: You do need help!

Rob Stevens Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 You're wearing the perfect shirt for someone committing the crime of bitching about pow. Your "White Christmas" spirit is lacking, Guy, but nice rod, anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy T. Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Very nice Dave! Tell us what the top sheet material is?? And how about a close up pic. I just ordered my Donek yesterday and will also be getting a custom top sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Winters Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's an image from originalsnowboardart.com. I have been wanting Sean to try and do a real wood veneer topsheet, but he's so busy he doesn't have the time it would take to do a lot of R&D. So I tried this. Wasn't sure how it would come out, and the resolution was pretty low on it. In the classic car world we'd call it a 10-footer. (Looks great from 10 feet away). Also, as Sean explained, it's very difficult to get anything centered, as he presses the board "blind". But the fit and finish is, as usual, absolutely superb. I finally got to ride it just this morning. Conditions here are still fairly soft, but I managed to find some good corduroy. This thing really cranks! I went from 179 to 185, and it's taking some time to get used to the extra length. Just a timing thing I think, like I'm a hair late on every turn, and then I'm trying to catch up to it. Very lively, yet also very damp, even though it doesn't have the Olympic construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy T. Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Cool thanks Dave. If Sean could do wood I would be all over that! I can't wait to see how mine comes out. I'll be posting pics in 3-4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
