Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just got back from Tignes had an awsome time with lots of pow, whilst i was there i tried the following boards
ibtech skate banana and t rice pro, burton custom and fix.
I liked them all especially the fix but my fav was the banana 156 it was great in powder, i started to link turns riding switch and landing my first 180's of kickers and some ground tricks ollies, nollies to tale slide you can also slide this thing round and round if you like so a deffo result for me!! Very Happy so guess what i bought one well i just had to Toofy Grin
But the metal edge doesnt go all the way round the board, i hit quite a nice lump of ice and the front of the board delaminated, are there any nice tip and tail protectors out there i dont mean those crappy looking ones you see on beginner boards something a bit more bling maybe stab knows of some gold ones Very Happy ?
over to you guys
ps if you think im gonna look like a d#ck with them on my board just say wink but she did cost me 360 squid!! id hate to f##k it so early

romeowner, you'll look like a dick Razz

if its delammed then its a manufacturing problem, get it replaced.
All we do in work is araldite it together and g clamp it overnight.

As soon as I stopped looking at my boards in terms of money I had a lot more fun, for sure I break more but the alternative is avoiding things and not taking chances. Barbed wire makes a right mess as I found out today.

How did the fix ride with the spoon nose?

stab, cheers Laughing .
The fix was awsome mate very playfull and forgiving i could also ride this switch its a true twin isn't?
It was a toss up between this and the banana, banana came up trumps cause it didn't chatter at high speed whereas the fix did but thats expected as its a park board but very nice tho,
the custom was really nice too but almost identical to my anthem so no point there, t rice was nice too but again something like my anthem.
So now i can take 2 boards away withe me, 1 for some cruising round and 1 to jump around on or at least try wink
Haven't told the misses yet tho what should i say when parcelforce knock on the door with a huge banana Puzzled

Not so. Mr L had the same problem with his LibTech and it's because the rail doesn't go all the way round the front of the board - if you smack it hard enough at the wrong angle it will split the laminate. In fact, he found that the topsheet was quite brittle generally and chipped easily when berks ran over the board in lift queues.

He considered the nose-protection thing as well, but got it glued back together instead.

Confused
I think they will come off the minute you start any jibbing about.

That top sheet/edge thing sounds gash and I think I remember the only banana I ever saw was in for the same kind of repair.

stab, maybee if i trimmed the underside of the gaurd of so it doesn't catch anything at least the top and edge then will have some sort of protection, dont really wanna be drilling holes in the board for the other ones ive seen Confused

Glad you enjoyed your holiday Cool
Lib Tech boards (and some other makes) don't have the rail all the way around for good reasons, which I mentioned elsewhere (edited slightly today).

As the stabster mentions, get someone to glue n' clamp it back together if it happens to yours. I've heard other people talk about slightly brittle topsheets on Lib Tech - haven't had problems yet with mine (nor have my friends) but I'll post if I do.

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Shallimus, nice 1 for that makes more sense now was wondering why the rail didn't go right round, prob wont bother then but you know how it is when you get nice new shiny things all good intentions of looking after it, wont give a f##k after a couple of trips tho same old Very Happy
Got a couple of trips with it this year so i'll let you all know if i get any probs with top sheet etc.
Cheers guys Smile
