Scorpio Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 After seeing DB's post in the classifieds where he is selling his custom Tomahawk, it got me curious on these boards. I've never heard of them. I've done some searching on the internet and found an italian blurb on them which I can't translate. What's the 411 on these boards. Anybody have some insight or experience on them? How they compare to other boards? DB, you most likely have some experience w/ them. What's your take?

Guest dragon fly jones Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 The guys up there that race on the GP FIS and WC's love them, they are spendy and I have not ridden one, but spending a lot of time with them and being around them they are quality, fast and built to last. If I had the cash I would bite down on one in a minute. I am just waiting for one of them to need some $$$ and I'll have one. Not much info but I hope this helps.

Guest Randy S. Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Tyler Jewell races on them and loves them. In fact he is selling one right now that's not quite to the spec he wanted (it has been ridden like 4 times and he wants $700 or $750 for it, which is what he paid, I think). I was going to try it when I was down in Chile with him, but I decided I didn't want to spend $700 so I'd better not ride it (or I knew I'd want to buy it). I say buy it and let us know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Randy, Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but would love to hear about the trip to Chile when you have a chance! Start a new thread and let us know how it went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I've been meaning to type up a report, but I broke my middle finger right after returning. Just got the stitches out after having a pin put in last week. As of this morning, my typing is getting better since I can sort of use my middle finger again. It is pinned at the first knuckle so I can't bend it, which makes getting to the comma a little challenging, but otherwise its a lot better than its been for the past two weeks. I'll post a report and pix soon. It was an awesome trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Sweet! Look forward to the report. Hi-Jack over...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I haven't ridden one of these yet, but I know many world class ridders who swear by them. And yes these riders have ridden boards from all the other custom board makers as well. Taking what these riders have to say about them I would put these boards in very high regard.

Guest chillaxin.nl Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Tomahawk is being built by a company in Italy. They only build custom Tomahawks. They're one of the best customs around; perfect grip, nice finish, etc. A lot of alpine riders in Holland ride Tomahawk. You just have to mail them your specs and they build it for around $600,-! Anything between 100cm and 190cm is possible!!! I have ridden one and will order one in a few months. If you can get your hands on one for cheap...buy it!
