John Gilmour Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 HUGE props to www.snowboardmaterials.com for the topsheet. I had a friend do the image in Adobe Illustrator, and snowboardmaterials printed the topsheet. The quality is top notch, could not be better. I WILL be using them again. $45 plus shipping?? Sold!! Can they screen a board that is already PRESSED? ________ Bmw 114 History Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think what Jack is referring to is that Bruce attaches the top sheets with a vacuum bag AFTER he presses the rest of the board with a hydraulic press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Can they screen a board that is already PRESSED? Don't know about that, but Gecko is correct... Bruce assembles the board sans topsheet - he can even test ride the board without the topsheet - and then he can install the topsheet later. In my case, snowboardmaterials.com printed the graphic on the topsheet material and then shipped that to Bruce. Pretty sure the printing is done by sublimation.

Surf Quebec Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Very nice board ! You may be starting a new trend here : the wild animal topsheet ! After the zebra, i'm sure a tiger topsheet black and orange would be nice on the white snow, then panther, .... I can't wait to have some funding for a coiler titanial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have the NH A-team in attendance. You guys rip. Next year... well, the ECES is bi-annual, so head to the SES if you need a fix. For 2010 if Geoff and I are running the show, it will be either Stowe or Sugarloaf. Huge PITA to reinvent the event at a new resort. We'll see.

bobdea Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Glad you guys are catching the coiler bug, Bruce certainly has built the boards that have worked the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 almost forgot to ask, would you let me use that topsheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 almost forgot to ask, would you let me use that topsheet? Ha! Let me think about that. 'course, I can't stop you from creating one like I did, but if you want my vector file that's another thing. Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GQuentin Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Bob unfortunatley I don't think there was one rider that spent time on both a metal Coiler and a metal Madd. Any one that tested a Coiler metal did not want to give it up, I was one of them. This years ECES was all about COILER, COILER, COILER.....:DTom Holmes is the only rider I know of that tried a prototype metal Madd and then rode my F2 170 07 production year and my 180. He liked the response he got from the regular Madds better. But I'll let him respond, he was railing on my 180. Yeah, Oes was about the same. Bruce knows what he is doing and it is proven with every turn a Coiler owner takes. Cheers to Bruce and his operation, Quentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 give up the vector file that translates to if I made my own you'd feel ripped off and I'd feel like I was ripping you off and that's just not cool to me. LOL, perhaps a checker Pig graphic is something I should work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Haha, well... maybe I am being a selfish little boy but I'd like to enjoy this being unique for a while. Been dreaming of it for years. Besides, if I become the source of multiple Safari replicas out there, there's possible copyright issues that I'd rather not think about or deal with. ---- Cleanup on aisle 5... bunch of Madd Metal posts here moved to that thread.

bobdea Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 if you're gonna go to the trouble to make a topsheet design and one of the reasons you do that is because it's special to you then you have good reason to keep it to yourself.
