*Ace* Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 If you can't wait to ride schedule a trip to ride over the summer. Plenty of places to ride. I highly recommend Portillo, Chile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One will definitely be a nirvana energy with 12-14 scr, 19 waist. I'm thinking possibly an all mountain or something else for the second one.

Its a combination of a few Metallica gig posters from there tour in Europe so i cant claim it as my own work other than composting it together to get the layout. I am going to completely redraw the image myself in Photoshop so its usable as at the moment its far to small with to many jpg artifacts to work so the final work will be similar but a tad different here and there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 It’s going to be a long summer. Custom KST 175/20.5/10-14. Seems significantly stiffer than the 168. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be good for me as I am at the upper end of the weight range for the 168. (cue the peanut gallery...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 If I didn’t know better I’d guess this is 0.5 Titanal. But it’s gotta be 0.4, right? The top edges of the board are beveled, making it look thicker, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Know someone with a caliper? They can help figure it out! What I've heard: 0.3mm is not available without a BIG order. 0.4mm is easier to get. Maybe Kessler jumped ahead and went to 0.5? Bruce (Coiler) said that the 0.4mm needs some strategic cuts to reduce torsional stiffness to keep the boards fun to ride and sideslip.

I asked for 10-14m merely to say "2m longer than the 168" which they say is 8-12m. The actual radius range is a mystery, because the curve is continuously variable, not just 2 or 3 radii stuck together. I measured my 168 and the radius gets quite longer than 12m in the middle of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured my 168 and the radius gets quite longer than 12m in the middle of the board. Pretty similar to what I almost went with as a replacement of my 1st gen stubby but I ended up going with a 275 waist Bruce/Mark Fawcett softboot board with some sidecut tweaks and the new hardboot setup is on hold. Theres always next year for that one and I still like the stubby for putting around as it’s capable of giving more than I can put into it at the moment. Never mind the NSR I had built and only got out on a couple times.... that thing with a boiler plate on it is spectacular. in the meantime I have to figure out a way to make softboots not hurt so much...... thats the holy grail for me at the moment. Now that I’m a sugarloaf guy, will have to meet up sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now... Yeah, there’s an intuition liner that was developed by the Canuck boardercross people that’s reinforced where the ankle strap would be compressing your foot, that’s the one I’m gonna try. The stock intuition in the drivers just don’t cut it for me. allegedly there’s some burton liner that’s badass. that a shop guy was telling me about. Intuition on the inside and old school burton foam on the outside so it’s a little stiffer and you can remove a lot of material if you need to without effecting performance that much. The claim is it’s stiffer and stays stiffer as that foam doesn’t break down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workshop7 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 My first Coiler. 174 Nirvana Energy, 19.5 waist, 10.5/12.7/12 Bruce was a pleasure to work with. I’m a big Rush fan.
