Farmer Long Board

[tex1230]

After a summer of research, I have finally heard back from Farmer Snowboards about their new big board - (Listen up, Tanker riders)

still waiting on all the specs, but it's a 203cm limited edition priced @ $900.00

Don't know who is carrying this line, and I'm not sure if I'd pay $900 for a board from a new company, But I'd love to take one out for a ride...

I wonder if Shawn will include a rap mix tape with each board?

Ill be DAMNED! Oughta get in touch with www.farmersnowboards.com and tell 'em about this site.

PS did he manufactored any rap cd over the years? If so, what's the title? I remember gettin' kicks out of it watching one of oldies video ages ago.

Farmer Snowboards are built in the USA by
Dykma manufacturing:

They are a known for the skateboards that they produce along with years of snowboard manufacturing. So, not really a "New" company. However , not inexpensive that is for sure!

What a great "Oldschool" Team.

I mean, when was the last time you heard something about "Rocket Reaves" (http://www.farmersnowboards.com/rocket_bio.html)

According to the website, it's a 174 with a 25.9 cm waist and a 9.6 m sidecut. What the hell is a Thermobag?

sounds like a hotbox treatment

9.2m sidecut, even. thats pretty damn short.

if a board is brand new, how can it be "the weapon of choice?"

Farmer board sounds cool, as long as you ride somewhere there are NO trees. this big board thing is getting out of hand!

[bobdea]

favorite freeride board was very close to those specs just wider
weapon of choice?
maybe to the people who developed it I guess, they have probably been riding that or very similar boards for the last year

Had to revive this thread.

Farmer snowboards seem to have gone under. anybody know what's the 411 on it?

Dynastar doesnt make snowboards anymore, do they?

[tex1230]

I saw Farmer on Fuel TV a few months back - he was living in a basement in tahoe and months behind on rent...sad way to end up for such a great rider.
That company never really got off the ground, did it? I'd still like to try the longboard if anyone ever got one...

There was a Legend on Ebay this past winter that I barely missed. I wanted a "powder" board and I was going to replace my freeride board with the Legend (since I only ride my freeride board in crud/powder anyways). I've been looking for another ever since with zero luck. The Legend seemed like a nice alternative to the 4807 shapes but I found zero rider reviews on it doing google searching and such. Since my freeride board is a POS I pretty much knew it would be better than what I already had. I snoozed on it though and when I went back to the auction it had been removed so I think it was sold locally. I emailed the seller and never got a respone either.

No, I have not ridden it, shorter than I prefer to ride. Just a cool board. Light in weight , cool shape and contours, not to mention the split tail.

I built Farmer 2 or 3 203s. I don't know if he planned on having me do the production or someone else, but the specs on that particular board were:

Length: 203cm
Effective Edge: 173.6cm
Sidecut: 13.4m
Waist Width: 26cm
Shovel Width: 32.2cm
Tail Width: 30.9cm

It is still something that is available. I believe I saw one in that movie he did up in Alaska.

[abakker]

i think he was riding one in first descent. i'll have to re watch it to make sure though.

Cool Sean, did you do the graphics? What does this snowboard run ?

Couple photos of "The Farm" at Legends / Donner / 2006. Custom Sims DH board with graphite in the base material. His enthusiasm was super strong and like many of us, I think he is happiest while riding! Short video interview I did at the event. (http://www.oldsnowboards.com/video/legends06/farms_dh_board.wmv) The snowboard is one of Palmer's (Who was being honored at the event)

As the board is over 190cm, it hits the $730 price. The graphics he had me do on the last board were his cow print. He supplied a base, so it's not something I'm really able to duplicate nor am I authorized to do so. You can of course design your own and we can print that if you wanted something similar.
