eos4life Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Even though I posted this on the new board porn 2010 thread, I wanted to highlight the workmanship of Coiler, Snowboard materials and Stephen Fleck for this new board I just received. Since I just turned 50 a few weeks ago, I have been thinking about a new board. I am really an average rider but I truly enjoy going to the hills to improve my riding. I guess the next step had to be metal for our Icecoast conditions. So with limited knowledge about the new metal boards, I totally relied on Bruce and the feedback from some of the people riding those. So I got a VSR 173 from Bruce. I admit that the limiting factor is not the board but my riding. The way I see this, it can only go uphill from here... If ever you want to add this little something for your new board. Custom topsheet is a really good way to do it. I had put my name on the waiting list for a new board from Bruce. Then I read some the thread about custom topsheet and I figured that turning 50 deserved something special (since my riding is not:barf:). I thought the metal board needed a good theme and the Terminator was born. I worked with Stephen Fleck who did quite a few design for people new boards. I can't say enough good things about Stephen. A real pleasure to work with. Once I got the final design from Stephen, I email the graphics to Snowboard materials and they produced the topsheets in about 10 days (Thanks Lindsay). He sent it to Bruce who produces the board in about 2 weeks. (I was on the waiting list) So here are a few pics from my new toy. It might just be me but I think it really looks bad ass... Again thank you, Bruce, Stephen and Lindsay! Enjoy the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Don't ever challenge Bruce to a race.He must have had those graphics on his mind this weekend when he trashed everyones times racing this saturday He dominated beating everyones time in all age groups.Not only can he ride he systematically pulls the gates apart as he goes past them very intimidating to the next racer!!! Almost every other winner riding a coiler they all pressed them hard on the ice and no delams!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubz Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 THAT is just simply BAD A$$!!!!!!! Bruce's building skill......check Steve Fleck's Graphic skills......check High Quality topsheet from Lindsay.......Check Long skinny box on front porch a few weeks later........Permagrin/giggle I experience the same exact level of competency from each of the those guys during my build last winter and I still giggle while ripping odwn east coast hills. If you ever want to unload it, let me know. Next build will be slated in 2011, thinking longer NSR Mr. Fleck you will be hearing from me.

Chubz Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Do you mean a laser on his board or Summer? But not to jack a thread Is it the: split the split on the sidewalk the sidewalk and brick wall a beautiful woman with dancing muscularity, strength and flexibility the "so what" look with those big eyes OR the simple pinch of the hair and it dangling in the left hand for me it's the pinch, simple, not obvious, yet very effective Now if we can get her to do the split while modeling with the Terminator Board Look out Loretta!!!!!!!
