b0ardski Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 IT IS RIDEABLE Short slalom turns down the falline work pretty good. Once I was moving the elevation wasn't noticed. Twisting the back leg takes a little getting used to, but allows steering a flat board. Fully articulated to the stops creates a highly progressive sidecut radii around 5-6 which was good for tearing up small bumps at the edge of the runs. As for carving there isn't much bite in the nose especially heelside, but I could link tight slalom turns with good control. A longer more cambered nose, bigger radii, and less articulation it could rail some turns. I didn't bother trying the deep powder, no nose, forward stance, short & heavy. I love a challenge. More of a toy than a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 congrats for having more balls than me...I looked at that thing so many times and thought "knee surgery"... I'm glad you got it out and put it to some use! Now make with that video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'll have to convince CarvingChef to let me try his. Looks so strange... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 ...the liftline comments you got, or will get. The pics of the HyArc articulated makes me wonder how it felt to have your stance angles (and splay) keep changing. Kudos for taking it out for a cruise. I'd have needed a few hours in the bar before I would have gotten on it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 you don't think I tried that without some courage do you? the comment was always "what is that" followed by bewildered silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Here's a better shot of the hardware. I'd love to tinker with some different board shapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 The frame work is really nice on these. The boards unfortunately tend to delam. The "Dr" went all out on their build. You have a particularly cool finish on your frame!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Maybe I should get the Nitros anodized purple to match:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
