The Schtubbys are coming...

[Shred Gruumer]

Well at least the hat is here!!

Teaser!!!

mmmmm...!

Right said Shred :lurk:

[csquared]

Bruce is pretty handy with a sewing machine.

The chainsaw is just right. We don't go in for exotic machine tools and production equipment up here north of the border. Especially when it comes to snowboards, eh.

Don't know what could be holding up the Schtubbies. One of them was substantially complete as early as August. Leslie was prying boulders out of the forest with it.

[Shred Gruumer]

Go.. one.. !

I know.. I'll be the last one the list.. well saving the best for last I guess..

Did you ask him about the Schtubby X3...ooops.. now that secret is out..

Drats

Right said Shred

[nekdut]

Really, when are the stubbies coming? Bruce has not been too responsive over email lately.

[Shred Gruumer]

YOu have to pretend your from India calling on his magazine subscriptions... then he picks up the phone..

:lol:

[Hans]

Man, that caps looks awesome. Can't wait when my X2 arrives :lurk:

[nekdut]

Sweet, Bruce got back to me and mine is being put together this week! :)

[Shred Gruumer]

Did you have to pretend your going to cancel his Rainbow Parade subscription if he didn't pick up the phone... That usually works..

Publishers Clearing house works too..

[GeoffV]

Yes the famous Shred Grummer is attending the ECES this year. For those that haven't met this crazy dude, he brings some of the weirdest custom boards you've ever seen.

[Helmut Karvlow]

Fin has let me out of solitary confinement man I must have lost 40 lbs in there, hey Shred how do I get one of them hats? no I wont do that. I can't get a board I might as well get a hat.

[Shred Gruumer]

You must have Done something really bad to Fin and Akno!! :nono:

[west carven]

[Shred Gruumer]

I Can't make it to Big Mt.. I can only make the ECES..

If your serious.. bruce is making the Schtubbys as we speak.. I know he is at least making 3.. I have one extra topsheet.. Call Bruce if your serious..

Then i start the new project the Schtubby X3.... ahh you won't like that one...

Right Said Shred

[Hans]

AMERICAN, DUTCH AND GREEK SCHTUBBY X-2 will be born this week.......................:lurk:

[nekdut]

Ah finally.... my baby is on its way!! :)

[Hans]

Purple - SHRED (USA) / Blue - ARIS (GREECE) / Orange - Hans(Netherlands)

Thanks Bruce for making/designing those beauties, and Shred for all the design work for the topsheet and board.

[Pow]

Well, now i suppose you can jam the nose and catapult yourself going backwards too:confused:

just kidding, have fun and post some crazy switch carving pics while youre at it! Maybe you can make it an international race to see who can get totally laid backwards first!(ok that sounds a bit wierd:rolleyes:)

The topsheets look madd cool, by the way.

[Shred Gruumer]

Most don't like the Schtubby Kessler looking NOSE..but I do...I been doing the schtubby nose for about 3 ,4 years now.. it works better than fine!!

Look real close and the Middle board,,, Mine.. has the Schtubby NOSE and tail..the other two..are ....well.........Normal I guess.:freak3:

When I get it... I'll post some hi res pics...

Now on to the next Secret Project...shhhhhh....

[Pow]

ahh, i thought they were all twin tip schtubbys

[tex1230]

If the moderators are going to allow triplet porn like this, I''m sticking around!

[Gecko]

Ok we now have Pics what about Specs?????

[Hans]

171cm x 20cm x 13SCR, and a very long effective edge. Titanal, Nanospeed under it and other secret fast Coiler sh... in it.

hummmk that's not as extreme as I was expecting from all the talk...those specs are almost at a level that I would consider owning one though I am actually looking more for a high 160's board. Shred are you still gonna be at ECES on Saturday?

[Shred Gruumer]

Im staying in a condo.. I don't know how long they are sticking around on Saturday.. Why? aren't your riding earlier...??

Geoff is my ride so if you guys know one another.. maybe he will stay..I don't have to fly out till sunday..

[Gecko]

Im staying in a condo.. I don't know how long they are sticking around on Saturday.. Why? aren't your riding earlier...??

Was planning on being there the whole week but the Navy decided that I needed to change jobs in my last year before retirement:angryfire I'm teaching all week and I hope to be able to get there Saturday but at this point I'm not sure even that is possible. I'm glad I didn't make any costly reservations

[Shred Gruumer]

Another teaser from the Coiler Factory..

The one picture I had to darken the area around it so you can't see all the Secret materials.. Like the **** Kicker Karbon Core.. or the RC-55 Liquifier edges...

You think im kiding don't you...you'll see...:rolleyes:

The schtubby nose i also handy to support your shelves too...:nono:

[eaglez]

If it is sitting there looking all cute and completed, why is it not on a boat crossing lake Erie yet?

D.:biggthump

[Shred Gruumer]

It made it across the Bridge and is in Detroit!!

Getting closer!!:biggthump

[Bruce Varsava]

Yep, Shred is getting mellow in his old age! The original was a 161 with 151 contact x 14.7m and that was a bit nuts! I had one similar with a 164 overall and it was a safe ride as it sported a little extra nose on it. The line will eventually have 2 different sizes, 166 and 171 with 13.2m on either or a secret sidecut(not yet developed) which will be in the mid 14m range on the 71.
They really are narrow extremecarve boards if you look at the numbers,the flex pattern and type are pretty close even the nose is similar!
Everything you ever wanted in an extremecarve without the width!
Really are fun to ride as you can enjoy some speed before they get squirrelly. Easy to slide around and of course the metal makes them grip as much as you will need. Just built one for myself and will have it as ECES for test rides. I am trying to build myself a board a week so if anyone wants to have the elusive test rides, there will be limited availability at ECES.
I should have

Stubby 171 x 20 x 13.2m
All Mountain 172x 21.5 x12m
NSR ( new school race) 185 x 20 x 13.7/17m
Extremecarve 173 x 22x 13.2m
Construction will be as follows, METAL, METAL, METAL, METAL.

Do you think I am trying to tell y'all something here:D

[JoelP]

Brucie,

need mine for SES in 2 weeks....get busy and stop typing:AR15firin:AR15firin:AR15firin:AR15firin

[yyzcanuck]

Your board has been done for about 2 weeks now... I'm using it at home as a work bench for my tile cutter. Don't worry... it'll be fine. How do you feel about ceramic topsheets?

[Bruce Varsava]

Brucie,

need mine for SES in 2 weeks....get busy and stop typing:AR15firin:AR15firin:AR15firin:AR15firin
Just made up the template and will be planing the core in minutes. Assembly scheduled for Sat, ship on Tues or Wed. Along with it I will send the SES prize board ( if you don't mind) which is the hugely popular 172 AM Titanal 21.5 x 12m. I had to put that info out to the public as if the board disappears, your picture will be on some " wanted dead or alive" posters:D

[JoelP]

Dave, funny funny

Bruce, Might be worth me getting some cosmetic surgery and changing my name to Jolene or something. No problem, I'll get it to the right people. Send me the new Tribal colors to pick from. I think you said there were 3.

Schtubbys rule...

Bruce, are you going to have anything to for us to play with tomorrow at SOS? :1luvu:

[Bruce Varsava]

Bruce, are you going to have anything to for us to play with tomorrow at SOS? :1luvu:

D.:biggthump

Yeah, a snow shovel!
Other than that I'll have the 171 stubby, a 164 SL and a 180 GS. All those are metal. Not the latest tech on the last 2 but good none the less. Saving a 72 glass AM swallowtail for myself.
All boards going to Colorado are now being withheld as those jokers keep sending up too much snow on the wrong days:angryfire

[eaglez]

Cool, see you there.

Are you sending anything core for riders like myself to SES?

I would like to play with the new tech your putting out.

Billy my friend!
Sorry but no such luck on the demos, its the same old story as I just can't get caught up and have the time to make some up. I am trying to get a few for ECES as I am slowly transferring all the standard designs over to metal and adjusting as I go along to get them to have as many favorable characteristics as possible. I did some high end race development in the summer and fall but lately have been concentrating on the more widely used boards.You know, the ones that are fun to ride, you'd hate em :D
Hope the knee is well and you are out ripping it up. couple more months and we'll be kiting again!
Cheers

[Bordy]

Sweet,

Perhaps if I make it to ECES I'll get to play.

Glad to see so many photos of you working latley! Hope you get caught up in time for water kiting. I am heading out the door to over 1.5 meters of fresh snow and 20 knot winds right now! Why wait for water when there is snow :biggthump Hope to see you at some point. Hope all is well up north and you are enjoying each day....

Think Wind dude!!!

Billy

[Scott]

Can we get the specs on the shovel?
Metal

[Jon Dahl]

Saving a 72 glass AM swallowtail for myself.

Any titanal swallowtails in the works, Bruce??

[Shred Gruumer]

Sweet,

Dude Thats How I know YOUR!!!:p

It would be great to see you at the ECES...but don't know if i can hold back my snot bubbles!!

Right Said Shred

[Bruce Varsava]

Any titanal swallowtails in the works, Bruce??

Not really as I think the swallow could be a bit fracture prone. Depends on the size of the cut out though. Also how mush other reinforcement you put in.
I've got enough design stuff to deal with at this time so its not on the agenda.

SCHTUBBY X3!!!!

[Shred Gruumer]

SCHTUBBY X3!!!!

Dump that other project and get into XXX

X3 metal!!!

Schtubby X3......XXX:cool:

[eaglez]

Yo Shred, what exactly is the attraction to the Schtubby design? What ride characteristic are you going to get, that you couldn't get on another type of board? I know it is long on sidecut and short on length. Doesn't that translate into a board that needs to go fast to turn but once going fast the shortness means it is unstable underfoot? :confused:

Or maybe I have that all wrong, which is definitely possible. :smashfrea

Maybe Bruce will let me ride his tomorrow if it is there for demo purposes. :ices_ange

You also get all the benefits of disfunctional nose ;)

[Bruce Varsava]

I'm canceling out of tomorrows event. Weather is just going to be too nasty and by the sounds of it the demos would stay in the car as we are supposed to get 20+cms with an East wind which is right up the hill!
Sorry but its just not in the cards for tomorrow.
You are somewhat correct in your thinking of the shorter board being not so good at speed but the Titanal does help eliminate that to a certain degree. Also these boards can be forced into a tighter turn easier so the longer sidecut gets magically shortened a bit. I don't make the mid section crazy stiff so that is another factor in the tighter turn capability. Another thing I like is they are easy to slide and just generally fun as they are small and don't mind being tossed about.

That's a bummer. Hope we still get a bunch out.

D.:biggthump

[Shred Gruumer]

Yes..well said Bruce thanks... Its exacly that.. much easier under foot to flex it to turn tighter.. then all nice and stable at higher speeds.. The 161 is really a mind bender.. And the metal..is just so nice and damp and smooth.. Bruce is getting dam good at these metals... After the 161 orginal schtubby there was no going back..:1luvu:

So here are some photos..

[Shred Gruumer]

more.... Look close...the PJ is sporting new red sidewalls...redux part 2...

And the material Specs.. Trade secret.....

[Shred Gruumer]

The line up.. missing the X3 XXX.... 159....:freak3:

[paragonUE]

heh, ****-kicker karbon core

do you have to ride it with cowboy boots?

it really does look like a twin tip when its lying flat on the floor

[Scorpio]

Shred,

Love the 161 titanal infiltrator on the far left. That topsheet absolutely rocks. I'd love that to be my go to board. I think a bunch of us on this forum will be coveting that board if you ever put it up for sale. That is, if any of us can afford one of your Shred customs!

[Shred Gruumer]

I have the file so if you wanted to custom it to your liking.. we could work something out...

The 161 does rock!!

[Shred Gruumer]

it really does look like a twin tip when its lying flat on the floor

Wow...your catching on...:smashfrea.....;)

Schtubby X2..get it... Schtubby times two.. both ends..

Yes.. it was supposed to be a twin tip schtubby...

ding ding ding...You get a prize.!! haha...

[Bordy]

How do you make a X cubed then? Throw on an extra tail??????

Shred, thats how I know your....... you are always looking for extra tail??

You know tail as in the back side of your favorite dude.......:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Hope to see you at ECES also you hoodlum!!!!:D

[Hans]

Just arrived, my little orange funboard, thanks Bruce and SHRED for the energy and devotion you have been putting in this board(design).

[Shred Gruumer]

My source tells me that he can't get off the Schtubby Demo...!!!! at the SES

With luck it will find its why to the ECES..

No.. you can't ride mine...!! you make fun of my nose and never like my graphics !! so there! Find your own Schtubby... hmm and the X3...:rolleyes:

Hey SES guys.. lets see some Schtubbys and Madd demo's in Action!! Pictures man,,,,pictures!!

Shame the MCCS had a bigger turn out..!! Well... you can see why..with the conditions and the mountain and all... its no wonder it draws crowds all the way from Kentucky!

Dang a ding dare said Shred..
