ippy 66 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Am i imagining it, but assuming the nose is raised, have you gone for some kind of flying v here? It really looks like flying v just in front of where youve drilled the front inserts through to the tail, with an extra upswing rocker in the nose? trick of the camera?

That pic is tricky, Its rocker between the bindings and camber outside the bindings and then there is the rocker nose Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 reveal the inserts The inserts are hidden beneath one layer of fibreglass and the top sheet so to reveal them I made a template of where they "should" be and put a small drill into the board. Luckily each one went into the insert and not through the base I then used a countersink bit to open them right up. Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 gozaimaas, I'd just like to add my "oh my gosh, that's fantastic" to the above comments. I know nothing about snowboards, but once made a skateboard (35 years ago), so I can appreciate the work and time you put into this. Looks great, and I hope it rides like the wind.

seemore 66 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Happy New Year No wonder you have been quiet on the forums Another one? Is that a rip off of the Birdman? Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thats another 2 and they are both the same design, I am coming to japan with 4 solids and 1 split all with different core thickness so I can test them and see which thickness I like best. No birdman knockoffs, I own one so no need to build one lol. As for me being quiet I spent a week at Island bend, climbed mt kosciuszko and went up to blue lake for a look at some of the terrain I plan on touring next winter. Link to post Share on other sites
