Post Your Review - Win a T-Board

[x_boarder]

Hey guys,

Alright, so here's the deal:

Everyone who gets one of the boards in our upcoming blowout (at http://www.tierneyrides.com/februarycontest.html ) is eligible for the following contest...

Write a Detailed, Experienced-Based Review of The T-Board, and You'll Be One of Up to 10 Possible Winners of a Complete Refund for your Order!

Here's how it will go:
-------------------------

To submit your "testimonial", simply reply to this thread. Keep in mind that we're looking for candid, told-like-it-is reviews that especially focus on the actual experience vs. your initial impression of the T-Board.

Please include your zip code in the post, as we'll use this to track contest entries, making sure that only those who take part in the 72-Hour Blowout are eligible for winning

Why do we say "up to 10" winners?

The more people that take advantage of our 72-hour blowout, the more boards we'll give away. Up to 10 winners for this contest - those are some pretty darn good odds!

* If we blow out 30 boards, we'll give away FIVE "review boards"

* If we blow out 40 boards, we'll give away SIX "review boards"

* If we blow out 50 boards, we'll give away SEVEN "review boards"

* If we blow out 60 boards, we'll give away EIGHT "review boards"

* If we blow out 70 boards, we'll give away NINE "review boards"

* And if we blow out 80+ boards, we'll give away TEN "review boards"

Since we normally blow out, well, LOTS of T-Boards each time we run a special offer, I'm quite confident that there will be ten winners for this contest.

Can you see how no matter how many people buy - the odds of winning are still VERY high?

(Especially once you factor in the first two "instant refund" bonuses for the first 2 orders placed, as well as the fact that not everyone is going to submit a story - let's face it, some people are just lazy...)

You have a VERY good chance of winning if you simply submit your story - it's that simple...

I'll unlock this thread a few days after the blowout ends.

Until then, make sure you BOOKMARK the order page, and get ready!

I opened up the box Wendsday after classes only to be rewarded with my T-board. I haven't seen one of these in about 6 years at the Philly X-games, in 8th grade.
As i pulled out the board, I must say, I had no clue how i would be riding it. I had no true experiance snowboarding, so i wasn't sure how i was going to be carving it. I Felt like I would sprain or twist my ankle the first time i would try it. The euro wheels did feel like they could help stablize it, since they are so big and flat. My biggest concern is how the board would ride on flats. If it would be good for campus or not. It looked like it was mainly for hill carving only.
I took the board to some small hills for a test ride. I stepped on and gave it a few kicks and i was off. The ride was nothing like any skateboard i ever rode. It was smooth and sturdy. I got to the bottom and ran it off. I went back to the top and tried it agien, but this time i tried to carve it a bit. I didn't get any good at stopping it yet, but i'm still in the first week of having it.
After riding it for a little while, i learned a few things on it. First, you need to realy lean and twist ur body into the turn. You cant just lean into it alone. It's realy hard to get use to leaning into it, since its not fun falling on concrete. It takes some getting use to. It realy does feel like your carving on snow. Also, I needed to get better bearings for it so a can roll better. It would help alot for cruising the flats.
The T-board rides alot better then i thought it would. It has a real sturdy ride to it, and is one unique board. It realy turned some heads when i went to my shop Loweriders to show it off. Later, i had my friend tow me behind his truck in an empty parking lot. We would get some speed and i would let go and just start carving away. The faster i went, the sturdier it got.
Final Review: The T-board is amazing! I want ride it now! February is a little to cold to bomb a hill in PA.

My boarding backround:

So i haven't owned any kind of board with wheels beneath it since my
second-hand yellow banana board in the late 70s and early 80s.
Being the only local 13yr old with a jig-saw and hand tools, I was more
into customizing boards for the neighborhood kids. Some lucky kid would
get a new Peralta deck or something and their friends would want me to
trim up their K-Mart Nash boards to have the same shape.

I've been snowboarding since the mid 90s and can carve up the slopes
pretty well, preferring carving in and out of the tree line rather than the
open slope or the terrain park. I live about an hour and a half from Mt
Hood, but my work and family schedule rarely permits a trip to the slopes
as often as i would like.

Enter the T-board:

I stumbled upon hybrid boards last year while looking for snowboarding
gear and was instantly, well i wouldn't say i was obsessed, but it was
somewhere in the neighborhood. Carving can be done on the pavement ?
I did my research on the growing selection of hybrid boards out on there,
research consisting of alot of YouTube and Message Boards posts.
I finally decided on the Tierney board because of Kurts reputation and
overwhelmingly positive reviews.

The box arrives:

I received my T-board at work and immediately took a break to go and try
it out. There isn't much of a slope anywhere but the loading dock. So after
a few runs down the slope of the loading dock, i could already tell that I
won't be taking advantage of Kurts gracious return policy. Quite a few of
the engineers i work with admired it as well and kinda gave me crap about
buying a "skateboard" at my age. I'm only 37, i'm not dead yet!
Because of the crappy weather, the board then sat for about a week
until the skys cleared up last weekend.

I wrote the following blog entry on my MySpace page:

So about a week ago i purchased what can be considered as a
pre-midlife crisis item. Its called a Tierney Board. It is best described
as a "snowboard simulator". When compared to riding a skateboard, its
like when you finally got the training wheels off your first bicycle. The
initial experience is excitement mixed with a bit of uncertainty.
You have been on a board before, but never like this.

The Tierney board carves in a tighter radius than a traditional skateboard
i'm not sure about a longboard having never ridden one before. It requires
the rider to lean like a snowboarder and flex at the knees, not the ankles.
This is probably the hardest part, keeping your ankles somewhat locked
while you lean into a turn over the unforgiving pavement.
Pavement is like that line from The Terminator.
"Listen. And understand. That pavement is out there. It can't be
bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse,
or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
Well, i'm not dead obviously. Although i am missing some skin
in a few places and there is a new lump on the side of my right knee that
i'm sure, was not there before. I've donated flesh to the driveway, as my
children have done many times before me.
I never was a great skateboarder but, i can snowboard pretty well if i do
say so myself. I believe that this is something that i can learn rather easily
....just as long as i can stay upright.


After a single tumble down an aggregate driveway, I can honestly say that
i took to the T-board like a duck to water. I haven't ditched it since.
I've since bombed and carved the local suburban terrain with complete
satisfaction.
You know that floaty feeling you get as you carve your way down the
slopes, its a kind of disembodied mental state where its just you and the
snow. I can get that now out on the street behind my house, as long as
i avoid the cars...lol.

Thanks Kurt.
I really tried to keep it to 3 paragraphs.
