Dregs Alpine shape

**sniffleless** · 06-10-2004 01:27 PM

Have Dregs changed the shape of the Alpine? I've seen photos of it recently that show two distinctive shapes. One place shows it looking all sleak and other places it's all squared off looking and thick. Anybody?

Every one I've seen for the last 9+ months has been identical.

There three in my shop, all from different batches, all identical. Same smooth, wide, pointy pin-nose, same v-tail.
Some of what you are seeing is their adverts; all com-gen. Didn't give a realistic impression of the product.

Yup, some of the ads show board shapes and graphics that don't "jive."

Speaking of Dregs, just unboxed a Maggie with the checkerboard/king graphics... might just have to build that bad boy up for m'self...

Thanks. This board has really grabbed my attention but I kept seeing these conflicting photos that didn't grab me. Hated to chance getting the wrong one. After seeing the V8 racer I've been obsesssed with the Alpine. That concave is sooooooo smooth. I had been thinking of getting a pintail and now I'm convinced on getting the Alpine.

It's an amazing all-arounder:
Put DH trucks on and bomb hills at 60.
Put on some RII-180's and hit the ditches, or carve like a madman.
Enough flex to survive Bear tranny, stiff enough for speed.

It's not a true pintail, but that's okay. We won't tell anyone.

:alien:

True. It's not a pintail. But it looks so sweet I can't resist it. Once I can get the money it's mine. After that post by ol'dude it's for sure. I'm going to get the Alpine set it up with some Seismics and I have some brand new Kryptos just waiting to be riden. Soon. Very soon.

yup she was my third board. She's up on blocks now cause i can't afford to buy more wheels, but eventually im gonna put some gumballs on it, or perhaps my 74m flys. I ride it with R180's. And yes it is an awesome board for everything. It picks up speed very quick and is an excelent carver, i highly recommend it.

**ol'dude** · 06-12-2004 07:19 AM

Mmmmmmmm, Gumballs. Green, chewy, and good for your teeth.

**drew** · 06-12-2004 03:55 PM

not again....what've I told you about chewing your wheels...

*bad doggie*

**BOMBHILLER** · 06-13-2004 11:39 AM

Look at mine sniffleless...

**koci** · 06-13-2004 01:15 PM

i have the exact same except its black instead of blue, slc munchies i think takes the cake for the coolest looking.

**sniffleless** · 06-13-2004 06:38 PM

OH MY GOD!!!! I WANT THAT BOARD!!!!!
What are you doing to me? It's bad enuff I have to wait till I get some money. Now I get photo incentives to drool over. It is so mine. Very soon. It will be mine.

**ol'dude** · 06-13-2004 08:55 PM

Word's getting out... I've sold two in the last three days. One red stripey one, and one with the cool tiki/tube paint job. Down to one black striper; have to order more tomorrow.

**sniffleless** · 06-14-2004 04:29 PM

One of my friends is so anti-Dregs that he won't listen to me on this deck. I haven't been that impressed with alot of what they have but the V8 racer and the Alpine are the sh!t. I'm placing my order when I get home from the trip.

**drew** · 06-14-2004 07:20 PM

yeah there seems to be a lot of anti-dregs people around.. I don't see why and if I didn't have too many boards already I would get that one.

**joseph** · 06-14-2004 07:23 PM

you idiot you can never have too many boards!

**drew** · 06-14-2004 07:47 PM

well when you factor in time to ride them, and extra money needed to buy them it gets difficult. but yeah other than that I agree with you. (no I'm not an idiot)
