I'm with Surf Quebec, Buell and Bobdea: KISS. Bomber Plate, but even simpler: the Blate (as I admittedly posted before). If nothing else, Fin, this beast is all things Bomber is in the world, so "B" has got to be in there...

Happy 4th all.

[Jack Michaud]

The daiseycutter

A-hole, that was mine.

[kipstar]

ok, one more, in light of Bobdea's comment about how only old farts are into that pin up art (which I also would agree is kind of been there done that a little)


the bomber flatliner

[NateW]

What else can we come up with that is completely new, that is neither bomb nor aeroplane themed?

Why would you want something that is neither bomb- nor aeroplane-themed?

[b0ardski]

I agree with k.i.s.s.
Bomber Isoplate
Isopl8
Short, sweet, descriptive and rolls easily off the tongue and sticks in the mind; the name is it's function.

[Willow 15]

I have just written that I am not entering this competition on another thread but I can't resist. Bomber Top Shelf. Forgive me, but the picture of that riser plate is top shelf material.

[powdahbonz]

a-hole?...The Bomber A-Hole...doesn't flow

A-hole, that was mine.

Carbon can of Whoop Ass!!!

And the winner gets a BPS setup for free right???????

Read the fine print (and laugh)!

That shouldn't stop us coming up with a really wide range of names, to give Fin a major headache when he comes to pick a name to use for his plate.
I've just realised that with those dips in at both ends its' shape reminds most of a bone!!

i already said the black bone, what about the big black bone?r
or the gravy boat
or the get laid plate, because you know, kids will think its cool

[110/220V]

What about green and calling it Greenback? Are there points for attempts to rationalize:

• ? First, I'd make it (dollar) green (email me how to do this and retain the carbon-fiber weave)
  
• Green would be distinct from virtually everyothercarbonplate come next season, too (adds a flash of USA without the bombing-theme)
  
• The carbon-grey doesn't call out 'Made in USA' (as much as the silly green), and not many countries can push a color-twist as much as Americans
  
• Some European amateurs might even think it's cool enough to purchase in addition to the intended use on their EC
  
• But I would not do gold-carbon, or anything like that for a hundred other reasons. Trogdor would never approve the gold

Anyways, I'd use it.

...and I'd use that old surfer trick with the rice paper to put a little BOL mountain-logo at either end for photo-op.
