hey everybody, our friend (and skullcandy dj/owner of noble threads) kody stopped by to help us out with a railjam in the backyard. he stayed for a couple days so we got to show him what we do up here in summit.
he did a short video of layup and then we went and shredded the board a couple days later.
board specs
157 directional
poplar/maple
20oz triax
vds
sintered base
clear topsheet
shitty graphics, $, jokes
we were rushed for the most part, board didnt come out with a flat base (1st one in 17), but it made for a cool edit.
here is his blog post

I'm getting tired of flickr personally. It just sucks though, because I have a lot of photos linked off of there on old threads, otherwise I would tell them to go jump.
Basically, if they aren't your pics, you have to link them, so replace the image tags with url tags.
Grindrite to profile cores????? What was going on there?
Get rid of the west systems. Call QCM. Much better for compression molding, and much better pricing.
Nice vid. Cute puppy.

. That puppy needs to have a steak. I'll figure you're buying cores and just need to clean them up on the grindrite? Nice shop!-

that sucks about flickr

the cores were already profiled when we got them, but we have been fine tuning the flex (.25mm passes) for our pro rider, he is generally asking for .5-.75mm less under the bindings than we originally ordered.
our woodshop is still in storage so the grindrite is the best tool for the job. scary as all hell with an 80grit belt on it, it makes for a two person operation.
we have been doing small runs with a number of companies to try and understand differences in resin suppliers. i was happy with QCM for sure, west is wayyyy durable but im not convinced. we have also been trying a number of mixing methods with various results.

Yeah, you do NOT want that autofeed to "slow-down" in a spot. Kiss that core good-bye haha, plus, the dust is fierce. That "pro-rider" stuff is a little bit close on that one. I used to have directors asking to remove 3 or 4 frames from a scene. I'd give them the EXACT same shot back and they'd say "that's much better" and try to get me to agree. I'm just sayin'.
I finally ended up telling one to just sit and look at it until he liked it, because it was perfect, and that was all he was getting haha. Sit!
Casteneda said "things that seem impermeable, immovable and impassable can be changed via perception. Suddenly, passable, permeable and moveable."
Just a little perceptual bump. I only say that because the 600 is a heinous tool to try to change that minor of an adjustment, it removes a FEARSOME amount of material in a non-repeatable fashion.
K shhh.

to tie in with what Brazen is saying a little bit. Different epoxies and different cure times can have an effect on the flex pattern also. Even minor changes in mix ratio can have a significant effect.strangesnowboarding wrote:that sucks about flickr

we paid our neighbor with a huge earthmover to get a pile in the middle of the backyard, everything else got moved by hand, lots of hands, lots of shovels, lots of beer, the quarter pipe is around 15 feet tall and the drop-in at the top of the hill is 10foot tall.
in total we have 6jibs and one hip jump
20'downbar
20'cbox
8'box
15'pvctopped wallride
corrugated bonk/jump
pvc topped spine
now its frozen solid and will hopefully stick around all spring!
dough and brazen
with the current west mixture (finally accurate cuz of a scale from the hydroponics store) i can tell the flex difference between every .25mm we take it down from the original 7. 5.75-6 is almost scary, 6.5 getting close to the sweet spot.
im gonna have to build a couple hundred decks this year to really understand all the permutations and how they effect board feel.
our "pro" is just a homie who has been riding with us for years
but he can throw down doubles all day and spin 7's in all 4 directions no prob.
he is def the best guy to push our decks to the limit im not going that big anytime soon.
