Per la misura in parte ci siamo, ma non saprei proprio cosa aspettarmi da questa tavola.. (Sto aspettando risp riguardo dati tecnici come flex e raggio)

Qualcuno potrebbe gentilmente darmi informazioni generali riguardo questo marchio e quelle strane protuberanze che tanto sembrano degli smorzatori di vibrazioni?


grazie a carver's almanac ho trovato questo per ora:

Tinkler

Tinkler is previously known for the Tinkler Plate, a butterfly-shaped plate that is mounted on top of a snowboard, to give it more dampening. Recently, Tinkler now manufactures boards that have both a carbon fiber butterfly pattern as well as SnowStix, which are rods mounted on the front and rear of the board to provide more stiffness for very long boards.


p.s.: Sono l'unico che nelle proprie seghe mentali ha una wish list di snowboard?

Grande tavola...molto costosa se mi ricordo bene...

freecarver è uno che compra e vende spesso bellissime tavole e credo non abbia grossi problemi di $$$ quindi sicuramente buon affare.

Tinkler è un pezzo da collezione. Pokkis se non ricordo male ne ha un paio.

Ciao

Yup, i have some Tinkler babies on my quiver. My Italian is very bad but if you have any questions in English i can answer.
With those sticks you can adjust board stiffer when needed, independently on nose and tail.
That board above is great board with super low price, it is steal who ever takes it.
Here photo of my latest one with my new Pen, both boys are 23cm wide with lengths 180/187

la mia "wish list" è una tavola unica: GS intorno al 170-175 con geometrie "moderne" e bella farcita di materiali "nobili" ( + la mia fida ed eterna speedx)

mmh... prevedo vendite all'orizzonte...

Hi Pokkis! Remember me? I' the white helmet guy who stopped you down LaCorne last ECS

I'm looking for a different board, maybe a swallow or maybe a Tinkler..

Snow condition in this early season suggest me the first one, but the morbid curiosity about riding a 13 mt radius board at higher speed on a empty slopes in the early morning, make me hesitant on what to choose..

my doubt are about width, radius and tecnich to use for it.

I began last year with the board that you can read in my signature, centering my attention on EC tecnhich, that now i've in parts understand but is not perfect.

Next step is learning and practicing race technic with a different board, as a Tinkler can be.

yes, buying it now will accellerate my ideal step, but it's a real occasion!

So, cause i don't know how could be riding this board, have to ask a little report of what will wait to me, with that combination of flex, radius and width.

i'm asking too much? i will consult the better way to decide!

Nah anyway that board is sold now, but here few comments.
Board is medium stiff/soft as base but with those stix you can adjust as stiff as you want. Independently for each corner that is very nice feature and i've been using that lot. Sometimes i like to ride with stiffer sttings, sometimes i like it to be soft. So there is more than one board there.
Board is very easy and comfortable to ride. Only thing what requires some time to get used ti is weight, board is quite heavy which is undersatble if you look total thickness of package.
If you are coming to Zinal, you might test run mine but i want it back
That board what was on sale was real bargin who ever bought it made one hell great deal. Unfortunately it was build as asym for regular riders, otherwise my friend would have bought that long time ago. Mine is fully symmetrical setup.
