Gtanner Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I picked up this board last year from the old out-of-business Quantum factory. I was wondering if anyone has ever ridden it or has opinions on the board. I have only ridden it once, but it was a soft day. Specs: Length: 180 Nose: 23.5 Tail: 23 Waist: 18.5 Sidecut (according to Nate W's calc): ~12m Any thoughts? -Gord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rowanpg Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Gord I also picked up one of those deals a couple of years ago, 180 cm Riot Velocity, I was really not sure about the ride but I couldnt say no to the great price. What I got was a rocket that begs to be driven.. or rather demands it!! Edge to edge faster than a speeding bullit, the only concern that i have with it is finding a run without so many of those little pylons with skis on. I enjoy it most for the first 10 runs or so first thing in the am then switch to a shorter board for the after lunch sessions. Now I just have to learn to ride it! Have fun with it, Peter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frappe Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Rowan - any idea about the definite Sidecut Radius? is 12m right? That's a gorgeous board, can we get a base-shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-CanCarve Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hey Gord: Where can I find this Factory - sounds like great deals and great carving gear. Looking forward to riding with you at Osler in February. All the best, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtanner Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I believe that the place was out in Calgary somewhere. I managed to get the deck from my old coach who knew a former employee who picked up all the leftover boards. Unfortunately though during my first ride, I managed to strip the sidewall...I mean that it totally fell off. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this one side? So Rob, I'll bring the board to Osler regardless, but will only ride it/let people ride it if I get it fixed...Since there is no company anymore, no warranty so I really don't want to delam the thing. Assuming that my ankle gets better (sprained 3 weeks ago) I'll have all pistons firing at Osler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-CanCarve Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Gord: My best suggestion is to contact Bruce Varsava at Coiler. He has the tools, skills and know-how to fix it, the only problem is that he is always incedibly busy. He would be your best solution to get the job done right.

Allee Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 and if I'd known about that, I'd have been THERE! That is a drop dead gorgeous board, what a shame about the sidewall ... hopefully it can be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Try a major ski repair center...anyone who does serious repairs can handle it especially if you have the original piece of ABS...it's not a hard job it just needs to be not right the first time...most major resorts have a shop in town who can handle it...actually some of the smaller places have the know how though maybe not the tools/time...I used to do sidewall repair on Ski's when I worked at Flite...though for for stuff over my head I usually sent folks to one of the shops in the Boston area (been too long and I can't remember) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
