Miltie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Finally got a chance to tune/wax the Axxess and Custom Metal FC that Sean sent me. Both are just great quality boards. I am particularly impressed with the quality build on the Metal board. It's amazing that I can send Sean the specs I want and they can build so close to what I requested. The fit and finish is also top notch - much better than most of the production boards I own. Nice work team Donek! Now I can't wait to get my TD3's and Fin-Tec heels! We should all be thanking the great folks at Bomber, Donek, Prior, Catek, Coiler, Virus ... etc. for supporting us alpine addicts with fine products. Their dedication to our sport and hard work should be commended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor VonRippington Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Seriously... we could all be riding used up race gear and asyms from the 90s. Thankfully we have a few passionate and talented builders using cutting edge technology and materials to make boots, bindings and boards that rival anything in the ski/snowboard industry today.

They ARE the alpine snowboard industry today! And thankfully, they are dedicated to taking this sport to the next level. And this level is great already! D.

SEJ Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 These people are what make our sport what it is today. All we have to do is keep supporting them, and the sport will continue to improve. Hats off to all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Do we have to thank the Europeans too? Their greater percentage of alpine/all snowboarders really helps maintain a viable market size. We'd be even more niche without their numbers.
