dmc Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 So I'm a little late to the game, but here's my new Coiler 165 AM (21w, 10/12.7/12) with a custom "white rice" topsheet: The 182 NSR and 180 VSR asym aren't mine, but I thought it'd make a nice family portrait. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just a bunch of 'sick' Coilers. Like the rice topsheet. Have fun with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algunderfoot Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 This deck was concieved on two chairlift rides at Buttermilk and is based on Bruce's AMT-VCR. I wanted something just a little longer, but still a North Coast ripper, so we have the AMT-VCR (9.5, 10, 9.0 ish) Asymetrical core (reg), with a little' extra' in the tail 169....I'm calling the the Lividd 169. She will get her first runs on Sunday at Mt Rose....can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy9ine Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 in lieu of my ill fated flc, i picked up a couple beater boards to tie me over till next season. 156 & 174. compared to my old wrcm and (briefly fondled) flc, these things look pretty radical; lots more tip & tail decamber, and super wonky sidecuts. haven't been on snow with them yet, so no idea how they work. pretty sure i'm not worthy, but stoked regardless.

xy9ine Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 rode the kesslers for the first time today. conditions were spring splooge; not really the ideal conditions for these things, but was itching to get on them regardless. both were very damp; kind of a quiet buttery ride, but still energetic off the tail - esp. the sl - pretty hard to keep it on the ground between carves. the gs was confidence inspiring, and surprisingly forgiving to ride. with longer rockered tip & tail, it manouvered like a much smaller board doing short radius fall line (actually worked quite well in the slurpee moguls), but locked into a carve when cranked over. pretty neat; was a bit intimidated initially, but they turned out to be fun easy riders. can't wait till i get them on proper snow (might not happen till next year, alas).

scrapster Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Nice. Does the Donek have a matte top sheet? Looks like a different material than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy9ine Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Fissile + Custom Donek: sick combo! love the gnu antigravity tribute. what are the specs on the donec? hotness. is the fissle going to be used w/ plates? standard width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xolufus Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The matte or different look on the Donek is because it's a carbon board and the Gnu-like topsheet is taking on the texture and grid of the carbon underneath - not planned, but a different look nonetheless...after all season on damp and super-damp metal boards and several different plate systems I felt a little numb and was ready to go to something with a little more livelyness...have 5 full days on the board and it's really forced my riding up quite a bit, very happy. Donek specs: 181/21 12/16/14 or so 27 nose 25 tail stance shifted 6.5 towards the rear The Fissile is a 178 standard width, that I ride with Ibex plates and 225s. I turn down my stance quite a bit on powder boards, especially my rear foot and with mondo 29.5s I use the width. Have had the Fissile for several weeks and have had the chance to ride probably at least 4 days for at least 2/3s of those days before having the runs cashed...it performs exactly as advertised, it really fills a void in my quiver. Not great on groomers, but better than my Fish for getting back to the frontside... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody kill me quick! Sorry to get you all worked up, but it's interesting that the term "Conceive" even applies to the image in your head....but you're right in one regard there is no shortage of passion talking boards with the Master. What's the name of your local hill? Wasn't Brokeback was it? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy9ine Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Kinetic: sweetness. where did the kinetic slot in relation to the antigravity? looks a bit more directional. my first board was a 1st gen (green on black) antigravity; bit of nostalgia for the old gnus. i'd love to do a race room custom topsheet (fluoro pink squiggle on white): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 What's the name of your local hill? Wasn't Brokeback was it? LOL Hey, Scum-pond! Good to hear from you! Nope... "Rundown Mtn" is my home slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I knew that one existed in Vancouver. Was trying to get it from 2007... Photo doesn't do the justice to the wood top. She's a beauty! Never touched snow or had bindings on it, just few rub marks from kicking around over a decade... It gets even better - waist is only 22.6 wide, perfect for hardboots! 30mm taper, pretty damn stiff - it's gonna be a pow rocket and I expect it to carve a mean turn or few. However, she'll spend most of the time as the queen of the woody collection. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xy9ine Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 that's awesome! had no idea you could get such a narrow hardboot specific (or would they have used softies on that?) pow stick. rad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
