Mellow Yellow Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 So do people fall of that? I mean you ski up on the top right?So weird. Nice pics on the linky. Yep... people go off the edge a lot...the riding happens "up top" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah, I know. It makes no sense. But there's more to the board than just sidecut, and for whatever reason I liked the Madd on ice better than the X4. I will wholeheartedly agree that there is more to a board than sidecut. My experiences with a Monster 182 - 20 wide, 14 to 15 sidecut - are more than enough evidence. It's probably about as soft a board as I should ever ride, I can turn it like an 11m scr in firm groomed with relatively little effort and ride it like a freeride board in chopped-up windpack and pow. And it is still stable as all get out at decent speeds and has all the benefits of a 14ish sidceut on steeper runs. My sense from talking to Bruce at OES is that the X4 is but the first step towards something that is going to make Madd 158 lovers very happy - and those of us who find the Madd 158 effective but a workout, even happier. Sounds like you've arranged with him to ride a proto this spring that is the next step - sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateW Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just took delivery of a board that is everything that Schtubby isn't. Twin-tip, 10m sidecut radius, and 216cm. It's called the SchLong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Ace* Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 So, Stratton got the better of me earlier this season. I eneded up with an AC shoulder seperation. I got back at Stratton this past sunday. I showed Startton what was up yesterday with the X4 in hand. Got there bright and early. Shred explained the conditions, a little hard in the morning, slowly softening and then scraped off mash potatoes. It took me a run or two to remember how to ride this board. Once I found the secret again I was on fire. Easily, without question, some of the best carving that I have done on a single board, period. It just does it all, and handles it all. It is in a league of its own when you compare it to the other Schtubby X-Series boards. The nose shape/decamber, pefect pop, super edge hold, muti-sidecut, 20* sidewall, and topsheet graphics are what make this board so sweet. I think this should be a special edition board that Bruce should produce. You guys hit the nail on the head with board. If you ride east coast conditions, seek out the X4. A SchLong huh, nice... Thats wierd, I went to quote from an earlier post in this tread that I made and its now gone, huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pukas Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 You guys are creating quite a buzz w/ these board(s). Any pics and/or specs on the X4? Thanks! mpp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hope this like works ?? Disclaimer: This board is not for everyone... not everyone would like it or like the way you have to ride it and it just may not work at all for ya..... I love it... Ace lovesssss it and a few others tried it as well.. some didn't like the feel or what it was doing.. As with all board not all are for everyone's liking.. Its all on what you do to it.. You would have to ride it to really know.. Thats Why you can rent it from ACE's Hardware..;) http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=23938 Enjoy..
