New Board porn 2014/2015

Not the true board for here but a very close relative. As I am getting more into hard booting I picked this up as a transition piece from softies. Selling all my softball boards except this! Bruce hit the mark on this, it is amazing. Fitted with stiff boot and bindings it loves to be on edge. Opted for the FR version to get thru the NE chop.

Inquiring minds want to know...specifics? Length, width, sidecut, construction? Turn-ons? Favorite stuffed animal?

Always wanted to carve like this when I started riding. I rode Burton CustomX in hopes of getting edges and holding them but in reality lots-a-skidd’n. Got introduced to hard booting and while I am on year 2 of falling on my face and axx I love it. I ride Okemo in VT 100% of the time so ice is common but they do a great job of grooming so the conditions are pretty decent for east coast riding. I picked up a Kessler and some other toys so hard booting will be more common but I LOVE this board and it is my go to for anything. It loves to be on edge and really sticks to it when you are there. The pop coming out of a turn is incredible. No body lay downs yet but elbows have been scrapping. Check out the video on Bruce’s site under BX/Softbooting, I would love to get that good and it will give you a great idea of the capabilities of the board.

whats the specs on your softboot board? looks close to my old burton that i still ride, i'm drooling...

 

 

It is 170 overall length, 145 effective edge I believe.  The nose is a little longer, than the normal BX version.  25 waist.  8.5/11 VSR.  I have not measured perfectly but I think its around 11 mm of taper.

 

Metal construction carbonium topsheet.

Pics sent Dion, I rode this at Panorama last week and it is superb. Killer board.

If you can post the one or two I'd very much appreciate it.

Many thanks
