b0ardski Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Would like to read a review of that nomadic proteus Matt. the 19w proteus I demoed at NICE was awesome but too narrow for my taste; and I'll never order a board that's not built for switch. ps. promad maybe?

xolufus Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks Bryan... Troy - My review of the Nirvana is "What everyone else has already said is accurate..." AND I will post a complete review of the 'Promad' 179 in the reviews section in a few days, as I got in about five really good full days on it and it deserves a pretty comprehensive perspective...

NWboarder Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 10.5/12.7/12m is my variable sidecut with an 8mm taper. This is my breakthrough board. The confidence it instills goes far beyond Bruce's promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWboarder Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Its a smooth, responsive, and stable ride. I can make big turns and short quick ones... well, as fast as my 6'6" 210 lbs frame can twist it. We (the board and I) are still figuring each other out. She aims to please. She is determined and dedicated to my every command... with that said, a few times I have over steered her and she followed suite, throwing me a bit. I apologized to her, admitted my fault and we took the next toe side turn a little bit gentler. This is the first board I have had made specific to my needs and stature. I wonder why it has taken me this long to get her. The riding is like... well, "Nirvana" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comapedrosa Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 "Bruce, got board, it's amazing, you're a god!" This is a Stubby v2.0. I'm told it is only the 3rd one of its kind. Met Bruce at ECES, tried the board, and received it 2 weeks later! This was my first time working with Bruce and i was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge, patience, willingness to help and give advice, and of course the quality of the board. Tried it over the last 2 weekends and it is the board of my dreams! Thank you Bruce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffV Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Very nice. What makes this a v2.0? The change to a VSR sidecut? Any flex or materials changes? Correct the v1 which I own has a fixed 14m radius, Bruce softened up the nose a tad on the v2. I rode the v2 at the ECES, I did notice the softer nose, it turns in faster than the v1.

lordmetroland Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 My plan is to make it my go-to. More of a smorgasbord; something for all conditions. Set up with softboots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Took delivery of my new "Short Board". Mike's custom build includes the TNT (Split Tip N Tail Design) along with the newest version of carbon Snow Stix. Carbon top layer, UPM and 4x4 patterns. Narrow, stiff and a full Tinkler System board!! Looking forward to getting the plate set up on it and get some turns in on it. I did get to ride a similar board Mike built for himself a couple weeks ago and it was pretty sweet. Bryan Overall Length: 174.4cm Running Lenght: 154.4cm Tip Width: 23.4cm Waist Width:18.4cm Tail Width: 23.4cm SCR: 11-13 M Progressive.

xolufus Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Really sweet Bryan !!! Also really interested to know how it performs... You don't want to trade it for a sixer of your favorite craft brew ??? Do you ??? Edited April 3, 2014 by xolufus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks Matt, I too am anxious to give it a go, it has been a long time coming!! Here are a couple photos of it with a previously used Tinkler plate (not his newest design). I did get a chance to ride his which is the same shape and specs, just a slightly different core configuration and layer components. It was really good once I "Reset" for the smaller SCR. My "Go To" board is basically a larger version of this shape (185cm , progressive sidecut, narrow , TNT , beefy). We call it the "Aris" as it was built for him originally, turned out to be my favorite all around carver.
