Next year's Revel8 boards?

[sempai]

Any chance that they'll be lengths longer than 110 cm? Who here besides me would be interested in such long boards? Will there be new graphics next year for the existing boards? Greco input please.

[Kirk S]

I don't think greco wants to take over any of Jeff's market

But I am looking forward to seeing another nice design or two

[tyberesk]

the new designs will probly be held secretely in grecos top secret basement lair until the fall again...probly again with a suprise or two.

[skierbrent5530]

Yea I doubt that G well tell us any thing about new designs or graphics. and I don't think that he will go longer then 110 so he doesn't take away from other core companies.

[airdonut41]

I'm pretty confident that he'll come up with some good stuff; he always has.

lol - I'm picturing a secret bat-cave...

I think another set of 90s would be cool to compliment the tanshos. Maybe throw in some 85s & 95s to fill the gaps and add more options to the growing population of riders

[SkaFreak]

Yeah, G isn't going to go into Jeff's market. They both support the other quite well, and I don't see why there would need to be any improving on the 130's at least. I haven't tried the 120's yet, but from what I understand they're nice boards too.

[pinkkid]

so, what would be your perfect specs for a new skiboard?

[tyberesk]

ive wondered what a 107-108 would feel like...but 2cms from a Revolt and 3cm from an ALP wouldnt really feel like much, but id just like to compare it to both lol.

[Roussel]

i think we need to constantly be trying to improve out skiboards. regardless of if there is nothing you think could make it better.

if we start thinking that then the industry will be at a stalemate.

we need a constant flow of new shapes designs, dimensions to keep the industry going.

i dont believe there are perfect skiboards. there is always room for improvment.

believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it.

[pinkkid]

Then maybe something around 85cm, though I like 96-101 range myself, that's just me though. finding new and better materials, trying other widths.... Kirk's board (KTP) was a big new step I think!

[zapmeister64]

The KTP width was a great improvment and I think it should stay as a good building point for the all around board. I would maybe suggest a bigger difference between the middle measurement and the end measurement.

I don't know if that would help performance, but it's just an idea.

[trickslide]

maybe some VERY short ones like 60cm like groms but like as wide as the KTP's and the tips really curved. would be fun to ride

[sempai]

Whatever comes out will have to appeal to the masses. I don't think any of the skiboard companies can just make boards for one person here and one person there. They'd go broke.

[SkaFreak]

Trickslide, only problem with that is that I think the 75's are probably the Revel8 boards that the fewest people buy because most people look for an all mountain board that can handle powder. For a younger kid or really short/light person the 75's might be a decent all mountain board, but for the people that make up most of the market, they need something longer, closer to the 98 and up range. Anyways, there's always a chance that G could surprise us, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the cost of creating a new board.

[taimos]

yeah defaintely, i really want to try a pair of bantams for like, messing about doing flatland and jibs when there isn't much space, but i cant really justify getting a pair for the few occasions when thatll happen.

id like a bwp that is a little longer i.e good flex short turning radius but just a few more cms.

only problem is that the 100cm and around market is well clogged up.

i really loved the tanshos when i rode them, i think ive got a bit of an emotional attachment now, was gutted to sell them on, reckon i would happily give another 90cm model as well.

would also love a really stiff around 100cm board for going really fast.

[CrazyBoy-1]

I think extra width is definitely something to look at. The KTPs have shown that shorter and wider can work quite well, which makes me curious about other possibilities in that direction. I'd be interested to see a 90-95cm board with a lot of width and a deep sidecut.

[pinkkid]

me too.

[BrklynCarver]

The new limited edition ALPs are super sweet!

[trickslide]

just for fun on the wicked short ones like $100 a pair or something
