Thread: New Company - Thrive Snowboards

I'm sure some have already heard of them but I'm guessing most haven't. They just launched their site the other day and will be starting off with three boards, some outerwear and some other gear. Run by some good people so at least go check them out.

ThriveSnowboards.com

Awesome graphics? Check.
New tech? Check.
Built in the U.S.? Check.

..........oh, wait a minute.......

Might as well just call yourselves Never Summer, as I see little difference between your boards and theirs outside of topsheets. Just sayin.

Well they are not my boards they are Thrive boards which I have nothing to do with. Crazy how they can be so easily compared to NS just from some specs and pics. Maybe hold out for a demo day before saying what they are like.

Nothing like never summer. Just more chinese cookie cutter crap

That Relentless graphic is sweet.

Yeah because everything made outside of America is crap! How is that computer you are on working out for you?

So... according to them, I won't be able to ride the 158 (longest board?) if I lose 5lbs? My jib boards are 156 and that's for East Coast baby mountains.

Not everything just mass produced chinese crap. There is nothing unique or special about these boards. Anybody could buy 20,000 dollars of them for 100 dollars a bored

Sierra Snowboards 2.0?

Nice butthurt defense. You missed the point. They aren't bringing much to the table that is going to make anyone want to ride them.

If they do have something that makes them special, they should probably highlight that rather than the c2 style camber of Never Summer and Libtech and v-stringers. Both are already mass marketed and if you ask me, a better value considering they are both produced in the USA and cost less or just equal to Thrive boards.

was I asleep for long?? When did they invent unobtainium cores

a "big Mt/freeride" 158 built for "expirienced" riders from 5'6"/150# to 6'4"/240#
yea right
who in their right mind could possibly think anyone over 6'/200# will consider using a 158 as a big mountain board? How come the clothing doesn't fit a 90# 10" size range?

this kind of marketing bullshit pisses me off, grossly misinforming would be enthusiasts.

Well if you need to rely on a website to decide what size board you should ride than you are a retard. Also I have known people that are over 6' and 200 pounds that ride a 158 or even smaller pretty much anywhere.

Uhh, nitwit, it's just that it's THEIR website that says stoopid things.

Maybe you should just take the thread down, you're falling behinder and behinder with each post.

Why the hell would I take the thread down? All I was doing was posting about a new board company. I can't help if a lot of the people here are big time fruits that think they are king shit. Half the people here most likely talk a huge game on the internet but hang out in the lodge all damn day.

Wrong, dude, most people here hang out on their computers all day and never leave the house.
