He is one very smart guy!! I strongly recommend checking out the video and the links.

b0ardski Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Met John back when blacktail opened. Tried to talk him into building me an asym version of my 173 carbon Identity. He said it'd be too expensive for a goofy oneoff and showed me the 185 gs carbon. It was too scary for me then, but I love it now, when the snow's good enough to let it run, other wise it's still scary. If that plane performs as well as his boards, it'll be a success, and end up with a cult following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Good timing. I just snagged one of his old Garage 173's Seems like the original owner had the foresight to have it built with a narrow waist. Perfect! Looking forward to testing out one of his creations.

Have had the scoop on this for some time & watching development as well as John's sister is my bud and the one that got me into carving. llr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
