Linus Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I ordered my Coiler more than a year ago and they are finally here! The one on the left is easy to guess but the other one will be harder. You will be suprise when you find out what's in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Left: All-Mountain Right: Race Carve? What did you get inside? Titanal? You bought both at the same time? You got some riding to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got some riding to do. Oh....ma....gah..... You got the first one right. It's AM but it's 179 version. And the second one is PureRace 185. But you were right about the Titanal though It was built for JaseyJayAnderson lastweek but he wanted to try some weird sidecut and more taper so I took this from him :D :D After reading the "How fast can you go?"thread, I couldn't pass this thing. True.....I really need to go out and ride this winter :D :D :D Probably second job also... :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 ...nice boards. Makes me want to get in line for one of those also... Let us know how they ride, Hagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgang Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 What's the sidecut on that 185? looks very very fast...need to know how it rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Todd Stewart Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 just curious, how much of a premium did he charge for the titanal? And did he figure out the durability issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Hagen, I'll let you know how they ride if I'm still alive after riding that 185. :D :D What's the sidecut on that 185? looks very very fast...need to know how it rides Sidecut on that 185 is 15m just curious, how much of a premium did he charge for the titanal? And did he figure out the durability issues? I don't think I can talk about the price since Bruce doesn't offer Titanal option but the board has every options(Superboard, Micrograin base, etc.) that Bruce offers so it's not a cheap board. I asked durability issues to Bruce and he basically told me that it will last as long as other boards and there is nothing to worry about. He also mentioned using different types of rubbers to accommodate Titalnal sheet and they costs much as Titanal sheets. I will post a feedback about these boards if I survive from riding that 185 :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I will post a feedback about these boards if I survive from riding that 185 :o :o I bet you find the 185 *easy* to ride! My 188 / 15.7 sidecut is about as user friendly as a board gets and I'm by no means a fantastic rider. This is why there will always be at least one Coiler in my quiver - I get the thrill of riding a board that would normally take *me* for a ride rather than the other way around, but with comfort and confidence. When I ordered my first Coiler, Bruce told me that he believes a race board should be easy enough to ride so that it's second nature, or something to that effect - even though I don't race my "Pure Race" I appreciate it's ease-of-use nonetheless.

Linus Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Thanks Mike I guess I'm going to find out soon... BTW, that AM 179 is not a stock version if anybody is interested....It's 23cm wide :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I was actually going to guess it was the 177, 23 cm w, 12.7 scr from the Customs section - so obviously I was off by 2 cm in length - what is the scr on yours? (My AM custom: 182, 19.5 w, 12.7 scr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Good luck with these Linus. I rode one of Bruce's early titanal boards last winter and the improved dampening was very obvious. I wasn't sure that I wanted that in my recreational board though. I've always liked boards with a bit of snap - enough to get you a bit airborne during the turn transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My AM custom: 182, 19.5 w, 12.7 scr) It's 11.5m scr.....Bruce told me that a lot people wanted 12.7m scr for some reason but I know I wanted smaller scr so I went with 11.5m.

I've always liked boards with a bit of snap - enough to get you a bit airborne during the turn transition. I probably won't ride this board regularly as my other boards because it's kind of overkill for any Ontario resorts. I just wanted to try a superfast race board. Let's see how I like it.

Mine was designed with a purpose - carving in slush-over-groomed and fresh-over-groomed which are incredibly common out here in Oregon. I came up with the sidecut and waist width on my own and really Bruce took it from there - came out better than I had imagined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
