All the reviews sound amazing but I am wondering how they ride for a "Big Tall Guy". I am intrigued by the boards but cautious since I have always felt more comfortable on my 120s and 125LEs than my shorter boards. I think this is mostly height related as I have a higher center of gravity that gets much further "outside" the boards while turning and requires more edge to hold the turn.

I'm doing my snow dance as we speak. I think is it going to be a good season but won't know until we get some Pocono pavement to ride on. Perhaps we need an East Coast meet-up so we can all try the boards in each other's quivers (Bear Creek, Elk, Killington)?

Originally posted by sempai View PostMy Blunts have arrived. OMG! They are so cool looking. I wasn't sure about this graphic, but now seeing them in person, I love it. The silver Receptors are the bomb. They are the sharpest and cleanest looking color in the RVL8 lineup, IMO. After buying a pair for my wife's Chickens a while back, I was looking for an excuse to have my own pair. Now I have it.
Oh man! The Blunts are so short and fat. I can tell without even riding them; they're going to be a riot and my new favorite pair of boards.
Why am I so impatient for them to arrive when we don't even have any snow yet?Just these, nothing else !

You know what's weird? I still haven't tried his RC's, and am not even curious about them. I wonder if any females on the forum have tried those out, and what they think... Maybe that will have to be my first test if I can't get Chad off the Blunts'07 "soft" ALPs

Originally posted by jjue View PostThe Blunts are little boards that act like big boards . For a Condor fanatic like me ... they feel very similar to Condors but easier to turn and more playful... certainly better carving on firm snow then the Rockered Condors and similar to regular Condors but without the extra length. Zero camber and Rockered tips make them super easy to turn and fun , smoother turning then Regular Condors or KTP's . Ease of turning similar to Rockered Condors but with better firm snow edging. They don't really feel like tiny boards ... they feel like super competent serious all mountain skiboards but with the added playfulness and fun of a shortie .. The Yin Yang motif really expresses the contradictions of this board . I love them !
The new SBOL modified Technine soft boot bindings are a superb match for these boards .. , all the control I could want , yet super comfortable and a more intimate feel for what is happening underfoot then hard boots.... No hardboots for me on the Blunts ... for me they are super fun comfy boards , that for the way I ride just cry out for the SBOL modified Technine soft boot binding set up . The new SBOL set up has a more flexible and easy going feel then the more rigid Rocker binding . Flexible in a good sense and not sloppy at all . I think I would definitely prefer the Technine set up on this board then my Rocker bindings .

Very short vid of Gromit carving the production Blunts this morning. This board carves so easily and sweetly it will self teach just via feedback. Wonderful board for a beginner.

Just in passing, I have used the Blunts now with four different pairs of boots ranging from beginner to full on. Made no real difference at all. My preference is for the beginner boots. The lighter weight and softer flex seems to suit the board characteristics. All hardshell boots of course but good portent for anyone considering the soft boot option.
Hey! Don't laugh at my boots man!
