snowwjob1 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Since you asked! Board on the left is a BXFR 158 CM long 24cm wide 10 to 12 vsr with the "slice" technology powder nose and tail. This is for the Wife built with soft flex at 125 lbs. She has another BXFR from Bruce that she loves this one is bigger in length and side cut radius. Board on right is for me. 185 CM long 23.5 wide "Contra" Monster Powder Hybrid Carver. At least that was my thought when I discussed with Bruce. I have a "Contra" from last year just needed an all mountain version. Can't wait till Thursday. There's a third board that has not been photographed that is also for the wife a Donek Talon that was ordered @Montuky. This is the wife's first true Alpine Board she got a test drive @Montuky. The problem with my board fetish is now the wife has one. Custom boards just got twice as expensive. When I told her she officially has a quiver she quickly told me that it was her Harem. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wanted a large and small, wide-ish board for riding hardboots in softer snow, powder etc. Got the big one a while ago, really didn't expect that he'd have time to make the little one too, but here it is... Couldn't decide on a top sheet, so Bruce said, "I'll figure it out. What colors do you like?" Uh...I donno, blue?...green? The blue 185 was inspired by Shred's new Monster with that modern powder nose. Bruce calls it the Contra All Terrain. N29.5, 23 waist, T28.3, 11m sidecut, EE165. The little one is a 165 Contra All Terrain, 29 nose, 23.5 waist, 28.1 tail, 10m scr, EE146. I suppose these are a BXFR hybrid for hardboots with a redesigned core/flex for the contra sidecut. I'll get to ride the green one tomorrow. Bruce took 4-5 test runs on it and said it was really fun. It sounded like he wanted to keep it. Last time that happened (the rev), he turned around and made a duplicate for himself. Oh, the packaging for my board included some re-purposed golf club packaging. It's a sign. update 4/16: 1st ride was on 4-5" of slush over ice and I was able to make easy, surfy/floaty turns on the slush without bottoming out on the rough ice base. Of course it had good edge hold on the ice, it was just a nicer ride floating above it. But yesterday, I got to ride it on some firm & crunchy, carvable snow, not really the conditions for it's intended use, but turns out (not surprisingly) it is a really fun carver. Very satisfying turns! Can't wait to get it in some soft snow. I have a feeling it's gonna be great. Could be it really is a board for all terrain. ...And I know you're thinking, "How many friggin' boards does this guy need???" In my defense, these boards replaced 2 similar boards that I sold earlier this year. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got the burton VHS tape with Jean Nerva and Even flow from Pearl Jam. Still smiling. It was everything I'd hoped for...super fast base, carves like an alpine board, nimble through the trees, wicked in bumps! Luckily I got to ride it 5 days before all my local resorts closed their doors. Eternally grateful to you for the great deal...heal well, ready for next season mon ami! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybergmann Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Just in time for the hills to close down I got a NOS EC 168 from Bruce for a price I could not refuse. 21.5 waist and 13/14 sidecut. He says not as EC as the ECVC, but still good for tipping it over. Now I have to be patient... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackaddict Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 4 hours ago, Lurch said: Get to ride this @crackaddict? Hell yes!!! So stable, turns tighter than I expected. Feels just like a regular board, only faster. Fewer total turns but they are of the highest quality. Hard on the legs, cumbersome at slow speed, barely fits in the gondola... wouldn't trade it for anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgCarve Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) @crackaddictRevelstock has lots of wide runs (in some places super wide :-)), this boards should work great there! When I ride my SG FR 185 with average SCR 21m, I try to avoid any narrow runs even if they wide enough to turn the board. If I fall, I can slide so far, that can easily end up in the forest... I found that I have to get to Mach 1 speed first to make the board turn well... Edited March 26, 2020 by dgCarve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokkis Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I was totally surprised how well it goes, i managed test it only with perfect groom and slush. Biggest issue was to get 54cm stance and inserts ended to 48cm I had PJ7 in mid nineteens but then i was riding with very short stance Edited March 26, 2020 by pokkis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
