ShortcutToMoncton Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I gotta say, that thing just looks killer! One small, teeny complaint though: why, oh why Bruce, do board manufacturers insist on putting graphics underneath the bindings!? :p greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stuck them on best I could. BV Hey Shred wheres the X5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think graphics are tricky because they shrink, so when bruce laid the board up, the graphic was far away from the inserts, but by the time it cooked and shrank, it was under the binding.

Shred Gruumer Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yep my fault.. since this is a first time board.. with kinda unknown insert placement.. Its all a guessing game.. when you do the graphics and where you put them I thought about that.. problem was.. it used to get covered up by the back binding ... I shot for the middle but again.. when you design topsheet templates and dont know how much sidecut will flare to the nose and tail... I have to guess.. All I knew was the length and center width.. the rest was a unkown and since I wanted the topsheet to be there when Bruce built it.. if I have similar boards I would take a measurement.. but this wasn't similar to anything.. so it was a guess.. and when your looking at it on your computer ..sometimes you think you put it where you think.. but it was a bit off.. See Geoff...it ain't so easy.. thats is why I suggested things as I did with yours.. but we at least already had a board to measure.. the first one is always a guess.. usually im right on..like with the X2.. I don't know what happened with this one... maybe to much Leffe,,, right Jack!! right said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 To be honest I don't think it hurts the board at all. The shape is so badass and the color is great too, doesn't matter. Warning: Plagiarism right said Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 hope you "detune" that front edge before you ride hate to hear about a boarder slicing an errant skier in half. you are the owner of a very nice ride !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Varsava Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 :lol:Yet Bruce's post mysteriously disappears! Yep Actually felt bad about it after the fact as a lot of effort goes into doing a custom top and even my production tops need to have adjustments done to get them right on many occasions. We tend to look at even one small error and forget all the other good things about any effort. Its like I just spent 2 days making a board which rides great but has a small imperfection and that is all that gets attention. I guess it makes things closer to perfect in the long run but in all aspects of life we need to celebrate more of the accomplishments rather than the minor pitfalls:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyagt4 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Bruce. Does the metal edge meet in the center of the V, or did you manage to wrap it that tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Yellow Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Don't feel bad Bruce... afterall, its Shred... Of course now that I've made fun of the arrow's topsheet... my topsheet will probably turn out like poo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Varsava Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Bruce. Does the metal edge meet in the center of the V, or did you manage to wrap it that tight? Not sure I understand what you mean? The metal edge does go 100% around the board. BV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyagt4 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Not sure I understand what you mean? The metal edge does go 100% around the board.BV Was asking if the seam was at the center of the V, the very tip of the front. Or if you wrapped the radius tighter than 90 degrees and made the seam at another spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Taper? Why a 20 deg sidewall. What is the camber profile. I assume this is a metal construction. Any other construction details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
