svr Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Attended SBJ here in Japan yesterday and thought I would share the photos of the SG boards for next year (look an awful lot like shred's schtubbys). Sorry the quality is not very good, but pics were taken from my phone and sorry, I did not get any specs for the boards either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDY_2_Carve Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Are those extra holes around the binding inserts for mounting plate systems? It sure looks like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svr Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yes, the holes are for the plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I can't take anything away from shred and his stubby. ( I rode the first one) How ever Kessler had the flat nose well before shred stubby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Bordy, Are you sure about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 05 was the finished "on Tour model" Several years of protyping before that. Big K knows... Bruce has made a great boarrd with the stubby also.... Its a great freeride board its not a PGS stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 See the pic, nuf said... Do I need to add an ancient Nidecker too? Those were almost noseless. Anyways, I don't see any reason, whatsoever, why a freecarve stick wouldn't have a nice long nose for slush/soft versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tip of the board has reverse camber (like some powder skiis or Banana Tech) but only the tip from mid tip back there is normal camber. The pre camber makes every ting Good...... So the tip glides into the carve at the begging or the turn and then releases and bounces to help disapate energy, through the cambered part of the board.To the sick tapered tail. I think yout board pictured is a Vokal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Most of those boards are coming to OES, should be fun. I had my 4 year old on the purple one today (in socks on the carpet). She smiled and said, "Daddy is that my board" One small tear in my eye. Bordy, ok concede the point. I just remember Shred talking about mystery noses years ago. I thought his plans may have superseded Kessler (Who I assume you're calling Big K). No matter, Shred is far from done with his science fair projects. His next board supposedly floats above the snow and doesn't even have a nose.....darned rocket scientists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent alot of time speaking with shred about nose shape at ECES a few years back. I can assure you Shred (and Bruce) were still learning about nose shape and camber profile then. Plus the amount of questions I answer for board builders is huge so I would say I have a great realationship with all of them, and know where they are currently as well as previously.

Shred Gruumer Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well me and Bordy arn't dating or anything like that.........doh!..:rolleyes: Yep we discussed lunch trays and what not.. Always learning and Implementing new things.. some are good for free carving and some are not good for PGS.. Im not racing.. so my main focus is on making a board that is so easy to ride... it just rides all by itself.. The new Schtubby.. is about as close as it gets to that( so far.:rolleyes:), but thats what I got out of it for my riding.. Some people like work.. I don't.. Now.. back to my lunch tray.. You'll see.. its all fun and laughter now....and then........ Ride on Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Those SGs look fun - quite a contrast in nose profile compared to his earlier shapes. Would love to ride one sometime. Any chance of one or two making it to the Hardbooter fleet in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Billy are you going???Will sure miss.. thats How I know you are....hehehe.. Shred Said Go..

RJ-PS Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Jack, just how do you remember that shiz? I can't remember what I ordered last week. Billy, SG may have one of my kidneys, but I have another. You aren't racing anymore, take one for the team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I rode that old Original Sin (dynastar )165 the blue/black one (with plates of course) with the silly big nose & tail. Many lopped off the excess but I thought it worked great in pow, like a front handbrake, just push down on the nose to slow it down.It threw a massive wake off the tail too. Now I have a Coiler with the schtubby almost no nose, same blue/black flamish graphix as the OSin. http://www.snowboarding.com/products03/jan03/dynastar.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc-alex Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Are those extra holes around the binding inserts for mounting plate systems? It sure looks like it... Yes, the holes for the Hangly-Systems and for VIST will be 2 more holes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
