Jack M Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 ^ What the actual heck?? And I thought my Kessler 185 (12-21m) was ludicrous speed! Enjoy! Lookout below!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 18-25m dang where are you riding that? On a football field? My 185 KST takes up the entire trail at 45mph. It yells at me when I am doing 25mph. With 18-25m you have to get up to some serious speed before you can tilt that sucker over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwjob1 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 It must be difficult to put on pants with brass b@@@@ that big! I think you might get 4 turns in from top to bottom at revelstoke. It's like 4500 vertical! I would have liked to see it at the turning comp at Montuky! You may have got 1 in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.E Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sounds totally reasonable. Been thinking something along those lines myself. I'm sure it will treat you right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @Jack, I'll tell you what I tell the curious kids on the gondola: "It's not about the speed, it's about the turn!". 3 hours ago, GeoffV said: With 18-25m you have to get up to some serious speed before you can tilt that sucker over. @GeoffV, I'll tell you what I tell the ladies: "It's not too big, it'll work just fine". Seriously, I'm not trying to compensate for anything, I just want more g-force. 2 hours ago, snowwjob1 said: It's like 4500 vertical! @snowwjob1: Ahem... It's 5620 vertical feet... 2 hours ago, lonbordin said: We'll want video as is tradition. @lonbordin: I'll see what I can do. 49 minutes ago, dredman said: That would have been fun in Sundance Bowl on Thursday! @dredman: almost any decent board would have been a blast in Sundance Bowl on Thursday! But yeah, the bigger the better if you have the legs. 3 minutes ago, Mr.E said: Sounds totally reasonable @Mr.E gets it. Don't forget that the longer a board is, the longer the sidecut radius needs to be to keep the sidecut depth somewhat consistent across the different sizes. This radius on a 175 would be ridiculous but it's right in the ballpark for a 194. Remember also that the difference in sidecut depth between 20m and 22m is a whole lot less than the difference between 10m and 12m. This raises a discussion topic for another thread: "Be it resolved that sidecut depth is a better predictor of turn size than sidecut radius." Debate amongst yourselves. All doubts will be settled by 9am tomorrow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Corey Posted February 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looks sick James, have fun! To others: James can bend any board. He's like the Chuck Norris of alpine. When he pushes a board, the earth curves around him. 5 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Would definitely be too much board for me! I had a Kessler 185 which felt ok-ish when it was soft so it would flex, but on hard snow I just needed too much speed to my liking. But 25m scr, respect!

JRAZZ Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Bruce has been busy! Figured with all the pow lately I needed a monster... 184 Monster. 11.5/13.7/13m sidecut Monster....

Freezer Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 First day on the Swoard and I like it. It’s a very neutral board to ride, great edge hold, softer flex than the Coiler ECVC. Works well carving steeper runs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 After 4 top to bottom runs @ Turner on the Skwal I was glad to have my two planks to scout out the rest of the cliffs before I took a wrong turn and fell off the world. You will now be able to do top to bottom without pit stops ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
