Michelle Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 The guys at MADD boards need some input/guidance on your opinion of their 06/07 graphics. Stay traditional or let Jesus ride? VOTE HERE and give them any comments. NOTE: The graphics on the Angel/Jesus board will be 70% opaque, so you will be able to see the wood grain through the graphic.

Guest Randy S. Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 They should let the Bomber community submit design ideas and then have us all vote. The winner gets a free board. IMO, both of the above designs suck. Are they going to mess up the graphics again this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 My vote is for traditional, or plain. The sadboy look has been firmly associated with Madd, especially with this last run of boards. My opinion is that it would be best to hold on that look, perhaps with different color shades like between the classic Madds and the latest run. Otherwise, a plain topsheet would at least keep anyone from complaining about how the graphics look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Actually, the "golden boy" on the left with the lime green sidewalls is quite fetching in person. It was on last season's 180 (I have one - sick, sick board), and it really looks sharp. The gold tone almost glows and the lime sidewalls really pop. You wouldn't think those colors would go together, but somehow it works. Put some Ti-TD2s on that sucker and you've got serious bling factor. Although it would be cool to have a plain option - swt was selling a Madd this spring with a snazzy red topsheet with a simple oval Madd logo.

GeoffV Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'll have to agree with Jack, the only one I like is the color on the 180. I love that you can see wood core. But if I had the choice I'd rather have a plain top sheet with the MADD logo and flower. If I would have known that we could change our top sheets like Brian from Oldsnowboards Madd I really like the red top sheet. The new 05/06 is terrible. I really liked the red and white camo they had on the demo fleets back in 04 at the ECES. Madd Mike should have folks submit design's.

ncermak Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I like the michelangelo tail, but still think the sad boy, or at least the flower should be incorporated. I also still think that plainer is better. all told, I didn't vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Although with these graphics Fin could sell a lot more sticker kits :o Just need to be bigger stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I can't believe I'm the only one who voted for the Angel graphic... (so far) I'm sure that one is faster than the one with the kid & flower... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm sure that one is faster than the one with the kid & flower... It's definitely faster - YEAH you'll be flyin past all the suckers with the plain top sheet :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 too bad their prices are going up as fast! I want the 180 but my wallet keeps saying NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Keep the madd flower logo and START OVER with the top sheet design. Solid color option would be nice. Some say "boring", I say "clean and simple" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Id be far less concerned about the graphics and far more concerned about build quality, including "the small stuff" with the flaws that were present in almost all the boards, and the insinuation that being turned off by those flaws makes one somehow uptight (yes, propmt refunds were offered) graphics are quite a few steps down on the ladder of importance.

RJ-PS Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Agreed, Allow the buyer to submit their own designs. It could be free with the $800 board and an extra cost with the others. If I'm snowboarding and having the time of my life the last thing I want to look at is a sad kid or an angel sighing. Plain and simple like the logo/flower, plain colors, or buyer submitted designs.

D-Sub Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 its definitely not cost effective to have the option for custom topsheets for each board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilledog Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 it would be a custom board, at that point. They could not stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDY_2_Carve Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I like the freestyle graphic with the black/middle finger-flipping-off better than any of them... Can't say I care for either of these. Would rather have plain graphics than this personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 http://maddmikes.com/MoreInfopage.htm Wow, Mike has a whole selection of boards, even freerides And I just noticed I some wow made it on to the site. Madd pic. It looks like a lot of us like the plain top sheets. With the carbonfiber butterfly sheet graphics don't flow well from tip to tail.

stevo Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 What is interesting to me is how small the setback is (Alp=.35cm and BX=.40cm) and how far forward people seem to ride on the insert pattern. Is this because of the forward loaded camber in the Madds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tombo28 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 That's funny, just the other day I was doing a little "Windows shopping" and contemplating my next board purchase. I was checking out the Madd site and thinking it was unfortunate that such a well-reviewed board had to have such ugly graphics. Sure, performance matters most and graphics least but if I'm torn between two boards, I'm gonna take the one with the plain top sheet any day. I think Donek really gets it right in this regard.

JBS Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 O.K. What I want to know is how my picture http://maddmikes.com/MoreInfopage.htm made it on Madd’s website. Check out the guy really laying one out on the bottom of page; it’s a style I tried briefly last year called no edging. Shred or Mellow.... who had it and why the site????

Steph Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I love my sad madd boy Every time I look down at him, I feel like he's egging me on with those sad eyes, by saying "You've got more in you girl, I just know it". Plus, I must add that my experience with every madd board I've ridden, has been truly positive :o. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
