martin
honestly
i am getting sick of this garbage
nothing against gecko and the guys who make the boards,but....
do your statements imply that the rest of board constructers is stupid?
i'm talking about me,alex,markus(there's 2 of them),chicken and a few otehrs out there.
i wonder where gecko buys their products,maybe on mars?
otherwise they won't surprise me/us with anything.
we all cook with water,even gecko uses water,right?
i know all the stuff you can use for laminating slalomboards i did over 500 already and still counting.
improvement these days is made by creating moulds with different concaves(progressive,degressive,flex zones and such stuff,different kicktail angles.
the shape defining the board after it comes out of the mould is also a very crucial factor.
besides that,what else can gecko bring as an invention to the market that hasn't been already done?
also i would love to point towards r&d
i can also make the "lightest board ever" but i can't really guarantee it " will hold forever" unless this certain baord has had a few different riders during a season giving it its punishment.
so please,i really find this so annoying,
go and ride the board give it to other really experienced riders for a longer term and then we'll see what's happening .
again,telling people what you are telling them gives a totally false impression about what other industry folks have been doing for years.i don't see gecko in this queue right now.
they haven't been around that long,especially not in the competitive race circuit.
as of now there really are no surprises when it comes to construction or materials used,don't try to give a wrong impression about that given fact to the outer world.
no bad feelings martin,but stick to the facts.
