Blast Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I've used the BFS and although I prefer the Carbon models, I have to say the BFS was a bloody nice allround board. We've sold quite a few and all love them. Some people found the Carbon BFC a bit stiff:rolleyes:, generally the lighter not so aggressive riders. We have just received a few Blankforce Ballistic (new Carbon boards) and I'll put some pics up soon. They are friggin' sweet lookin mofo's! Oh and by the way, the New 2010 Ballistic M boards we've had are a tad over 40cm wide not the 41.5 they were talking about! Quote
NickOfTheNorth Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 sh*t just bought it lol, £300 on ebay from bridgend, just getting the hang of my jumping etc at the moment so it should be well good enough for some serious progression summer 2010?? mega excited man. she'll become my soulmate hopefully :-) cheers guys Quote
Blast Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 The new 2010 Blankforce Ballistic (replacement for the BFX Carbon) http://i11.servimg.com/u/f11/13/31/75/40/blankf10.jpg http://i11.servimg.com/u/f11/13/31/75/40/110.jpg Quote
simon1976 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 suits you sir, any pics of the top? Quote
Blast Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Ignore the straps pads as these are last years, and I believe they have changed for 2010 http://i11.servimg.com/u/f11/13/31/75/40/210.jpg Quote
Andy-j Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 looks the same as the proto i got as my warranty replacement although the graphics on this one is better... Quote
KiteItRight Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 jess maan im glad he hasnt changed that cos its an epic shape Quote
simon1976 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 Nice one Blast, looks nice, would prefer if the underside was still white. Im not posh i was going to put bottom but thought i might leave myself open to a barrage of abuse and inuendo!! Looks good anyway Quote
Blast Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 Cheers Simon, the photo's really don't do them justice. But I know what you mean, the plain graphics of last year worked well for most, but there were plenty who wanted a little "more" so I think these have done the job well. Marc Quote
NickOfTheNorth Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 had my first session on the 132 BFS today and loved it! bit of a problem with the inserts for the footpad bolts but a tap n die set soon sorted that out. might try moving the pads up more towards the middle as my heels were catching the water and causing drag. bloody lovely though. think it was off you blast? as i received a blast sticker with it which will be going on the van soon:cool: Quote
Blast Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 Nice one Nick! Yeh sounds like the pad is maybe a little close to the heel side rail!? Mine is about 1" from edge which works for me. Like I said earlier, I really rate the BFS as an excellent all round board without the stiffness of the old BFC (carbon) Quote
alan ainsdale Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 looks like a naish thorn 05 06 07 to me carnt be bad Quote
NickOfTheNorth Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 yeah it just felt so comfy straight away, and light! mine are about 10mm from the rail i'll put them up a notch for tomorrow's sesh Quote
Blast Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Hey Alan, yeh profile of tips is similar (as are a few boards I guess) But the boards dont ride like any others I've tried! Quote
Blast Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 All new Blankforce Advisory's just arrived plus some Logic's Can't believe the finish now on the boards! http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs514.snc3/26999_400452956293_220023371293_5438619_6886630_n.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs494.ash1/26999_400452941293_220023371293_5438616_1784298_n.jpg Quote
heres jonny Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 looks bloody nice.. but christ is that short unless the pictures warped edit: maybe super wide stance? Quote
Blast Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Nah it's the photo, this one is 130 x 40 Stance is in the middle setting, not measured it yet as still drooling! Quote
Andy-j Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Pads look like an improvement from the 09 boards.! Graphics are sweet! Quote
Blast Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Yeh quite a few nice touches, pads are still just the right kind of density, some of the comfiest I've ever used, they now also have the toe grip too. (Never was a fan of the airpad type of pads as I found I could compress them right down to the board on heavey landings, felt I was gonna bust my heal) Straps are finished in a kind of suede, no benefit but they look well cool. Overall the boards have a much more pro feel to them. Add that to how they ride and feel on the water plus the low prices and it's looking very good for blankforce this year! Quote
Tone Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 All new Blankforce Advisory's just arrived plus some Logic's Can't believe the finish now on the boards! http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs514.snc3/26999_400452956293_220023371293_5438619_6886630_n.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs494.ash1/26999_400452941293_220023371293_5438616_1784298_n.jpg aaaah Simon!! look! "This product may not work for posers" you can't get one, won't work! Quote
Blast Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Haha, false information cos it even works for posers! Doesn't look quite so short / wide in this photo! http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs494.snc3/26999_400452976293_220023371293_5438623_7970606_n.jpg Quote
simon1976 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 aaaah Simon!! look! "This product may not work for posers" you can't get one, won't work! play nicely please tone...... You little bitch Quote
C4C Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 very nice boards, but 130 maybe too short.... 6'2 & 13st... cant see it working for me... Quote
Blast Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 Blankforce has chosen to go shorter but wider this year, so no more big long TT's. This is to make boosting and rotations and ofcorse edging in strong winds easier. They do boards now such as the Advisory Carbon in 133 x 44 so that kind of dimensions may be better suited or they can even make to order!! Quote
