Scott Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mike Banker has not been heard from in a long time. I have emails and phone calls for over a year, unanswered. Was a good board. Too bad, seems they are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I was doing the website the past two seasons, I would have heard by now if there was going to be a black friday deal. I haven't heard from Mike in a long time. Any current Madd owners should take good care of their boards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 maybe the feedback on the metals was not well received and they went into re-design mode (one can hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcoach Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Madd is still fine, just quiet for a bit. As you all know the production is in Italy, combine global economics, euro vs. USD and all of its trickle down effects over the last 6 mos. both the US side and the Italy side of the operation decided to weather the storm and focus on development for next season. The metal boards are excellent and there are new ideas on the table too. It will be worth waiting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I demo'ed one of the titanal boards at the ECES this past season... I must say the Titanal Camber Temp Gage was Trick!!! Neat!! I could have already grown a new leg and arm buy now... Like Mom used to say...IN OR OUT!! Right Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how are you associated with Madd, snowcoach (are you Mike Banker?) Or are you just another devotee of these wonderful carving machines with a little inside knowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm not sure if snowcoach wants his real name posted, but he's a pro-level coach, and I've trained under him previously during a Snowperformance class. He is awesome at what he does, and definitely knows his Madds. I believe he regularly test rides their boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Snowcoach is one of the coaches for Steamboat Winter Sports Club, BX coach if I recall correctly. I met him at the RTTC in Copper. Cool guy. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
