i just e-mailed greg sounds like things are moving kinda slow, he said something like "i may have to go it alone" in the e-mail. we have switched to entropy in the meantime (which i am stoked about) and plan on ordering once everything has been worked out. it really doesn't look to good to...

students from Colorado Mountain College (local community college) have approached us already to do unpaid internships. in talking to the university we would have to provide workmans comp to get involved with any program like this. wouldnt be awesome to get a retrospective degree in ski/snowboard des...

bend, cuss, rebend, wrap bleeding fingers. after doing the last 4-5 boards edges myself this week i am over the bend and cuss method. i have an edgebender already that includes the 3 drums that the edge goes thru, but the thing weighs 50lbs and is really stupid to operate, we gave up on that idea lo...

so we started building again after a month or two off, still working but not in snowboard mode. cleaned the shop, reset all the machines, ordered supplies, got some new hardware 8) , software, graphics, and we are back at it. we switched the layering on the dyesub press up so that we have thicker al...

jvan, unless i am mistaken the only color pbt comes in is white, so you are good there. what kind of a quantity would you be interested in? maybe it would be best to subdivide the order into sections so we can realize the goal. less than 100? less than 500? less than 1000? less than 2000? rough esti...

yeah, 6 weeks or more for turnaround too, i would like to have it for building this summer. maybe we can start this thru e-mail? list out quantity (or how much cash you have to throw down) and desired thickness (i think we were working with the .5mm if i am not mistaken). our quote was almost $6,000...

how much of the minimum would you want to split? from what i remember we need almost 2000m (6k) for the min order. also in co and have been looking to get topsheet but not drop 6k on one material. there are a few other parties interested but i would need half to be paid for before i can throw down o...

haha, good shit man!
i did get trapped in an unending loop between the graphics page and the swank freeride page. just trying to get back to the shop!
im glad i dont have to deal with web design for our page, so many pieces to the puzzle.

couple questions on my machine i just got ceramic belts in, do they need to be "seasoned" with a piece of steel like the other belts? i dont want to ruin the finish before i have a chance to use it. has anyone been able to find replacement sprayer nozzles? i have been to every store within...

still snowing at night up here, i cant believe it! most of the crew is over snowboarding by now, hoping for summer activities, biking, rafting, etc. but for just a few of us its time to get out and camp in the backcountry with generators, lights and PA systems. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5307/57...

hey everybody so we have been forced into a design situation based on material constraints, our edges are only 165cm long. we started out with lib/gnu style where the edges only wrap thru the ee into the tip/tail transition. the edges were holding pretty well however that area is high impact for par...

smokin snowboards uses urethane on the tip and tail. we are looking into this for tip/tail as well as sidewalls. i used to use urethane to make climbing holds, really burly stuff. i am not sure exactly what we were using back in the day (two part, came in 55gal drums and we never knew what color it ...

i dont have a lot of info on routers, i have just been finding the cheapest used router on craigslsit and they have been getting the job done well. i do wish that i had a finish router (hand size) to work with the tip and tail better. and i cant wait for the CNC to be up and operational. i built a s...

brazen i feel you 100% and i am lucky enough to be surrounded by people who believe in the the same thing. visualization starts in my sleep and everything else is just go go go. progress can only really be made through failure in my opinion, you learn real lessons, at least that has proven to be tru...

nice link, looks like fun. proves my point that you dont need anything fancy to shred pow, just some plywood painted white. now lets see those designs preform on anything other than waist deep, and lets see them stand up to more than one sesh. commune has some cool stuff but it is all a lie, owned b...
