philfell Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Tomahawk always made me think. They are Europien, what do they know about Native Americans wepons of war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Smelly Tuna Not that I've ever seen one, just saw the name at www.boardreviews.com Also, go to http://www.alpinecarving.com/misc.html and search for "Coiler", I always assumed the name had something to do with spring or recoil, but it Scott is right, boy was I ever wrong!

Guest Randy S. Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 There's a Czech company called Trans that makes a board called a "Bastard". Pretty funny name. I used to have a Funky snowboard. I always thought Hot should make a board called "Flash". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Always liked that one. I'm hoping to pick one up someday too, I kinda like the chamber on those bad boys! "Silberpfiel" is my favorite one to whip on people when they ask me what I ride, it always gets a blank stare... Have fun, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I can't believe you LeeW - you left out your favorite board's original name! LIBERACE TECHNOLOGIES And yes, it was named for Liberace :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgang Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I always like mistral. I remember demoing one their boards back in the early nineties. It had and crazy tip almost like a smaller tip on top the real one. was a great ride though much better then the burton air 5.1 I was riding at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Lib has always had the best names for their boards: Doughboy Grocer Groboy Emma Peel Litigator Emmagator Inner-Course 1986 Snow Mullet I can't remember another manufacturer that had such good names for their boards...

carvedog Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 that named one of their boards Anthrax right before that s*** went down in DC. Talk about poor timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I blew that one up and two others like it but have one in the corner of the garage. They had good names for a couple other models - can't remember now.

LeeW Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I can't believe you LeeW - you left out your favorite board's original name!LIBERACE TECHNOLOGIES And yes, it was named for Liberace :lol: true. I didnt come that far. I thought Lib Tech was cool. Just didn't bother with the history of how it came to be. Yea, Liberace. They were threatened with a lawsuit over the name, so they changed it to Lib Tech. :) Another couple of 'em: Happy Monkey Pogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I always thought Hot should make a board called "Flash". And Pontiac could make a model of their Vibe called the Raider Couldn't resist..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Anyone ever heard of Head Bone snowboards? A friend of mine started it when there were very few board makers, maybe Burton, Sims and one other besides Head Bone. Head Bone went under when he contracted with some snowboard builders in Washington state and they decided to keep his money and not build the boards (if there was a smiley for a stoner, I would insert here). His money was literally burned and the company went down in flames I need to call him to get the actual dates of this operation, --Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 that named one of their boards Anthrax right before that s*** went down in DC. Talk about poor timing. Volkl, I know a few people who have those boards, they got prototypes before all the crazy stuff started happening. I don't know if the main shipment ever did make it through customs.
