Donek Demos and Prototype Blowout

[Donek]

around now to answer the phone?

eating dinner. Give me 45 minutes.

[Termin8tor]

ok will do.

what are you looking to fetch for the 200 HAZELWOOD? What is the waist on that bad-boy? pm if you would like. looking to replace my 169 soft boot pow board with a hardboot pow board.
Thanks Much!

The waist is 24.5cm. I'd like $400.

Thanks for the response sir,
After poking around your website a bit more I think I will save my duckets for a 182 Nyberg Ax to be made for me this summer....

What is the flex on the hazelwood like? For comparison is it stiffer than an early 00-01 192 tanker which is similiar to 181 supermodel. the later 192 is stiffer.
how much stance setback does this one have? What is the turn radius?

[energyrail]

OK Nevermind i read that previous post. I would have to get a custom, 12-14m is a little long for the width they groom up here.

Is the red one in the second picture still available?

It appears to be gone.

[energyrail]

what will you be playing with this spring?

[snowboardworm]

hmmmmmhhhhhhhh. Hazelwood to replace my blown out 192 tanker????? What think you Energyrail? I like the speed and stability and dont care about the narrow slopes.

Working with the Steamboat guys has enabled us to continue prototyping throughout the entire season. The Rev series has progressed dramatically over the last few months. This leaves me wondering what to do this spring. I have a huge list of production related projects, but not a lot on prototyping. I'll be meeting with the guys in the next week to discuss this and decide if we have some things we want to be doing. I'll definitely keep people informed on the production modifications though.

[energyrail]

well the waist width on it is the same as a 92 tanker. Going from a straight 10.5 to a vsr 12-14 is big jump i think. But I sure would like to ride it. i'm going to adapt the snowpros to the 81 supermodel with the elevators and see what I think. my custom might be a shorter and wider than the 192 in the 180 range.

any new materials being tested, rather than new shapes/designs like the last few years?

There have actually been shape and materials experiments over the last couple years, but not dramatic deviations from the rest of the board manufacturers. As a result we have not stressed them much. I just heard from Converse Fields who tested a new prototype today. This board is a significant change to the construction on the race line and his feedback is very positive.

As for other material experiments, we did have something in mind, but so far have been unable to get a response from the only supplier we've found. It's not over, but difficulty obtaining the material makes it somewhat unappealing.

just which epoxy would you use for spider silk anyway?
