Revscene's Own Snowboard Tech - "Vangruver" Hey everyone, I recently had my board waxed/repaired/tuned by Vangruver. So I thought it deserved a thread of its own. These were the steps I quoted from Vangruver. Quote:
The prices he charges are amazingly cheap compared to other stores as well. I already recommended a few of my friends to take their boards to him. He even came to pick up and drop off the board. It doesn't get better than that. So if anyone on revscene (or have family/friends), is looking to getting their board repaired/waxed/tuned or anything snowboard related. Don't hesitate to msg Vangruver. He will do it all. :thumbsup: |
Thanks Vince. I have every bit of wax for every condition, so if you tell me where you're going, or where you normally go, i can set it up for that snow. I have every bit of tuning eq that you can imagine, and if i don't have it, i will get it. ;) |
This is borderline spam advertising according to our guidelines. Ill allow this for now but make no mention of a shop name, sales or prices. Thx |
*update* Currently I'm at my new place, w/o internet temporarily. I will be able to check messages, but slowly through my blackberry. I do have internet @ work so I will be able to read and reply to messages quicker than through my phone. If anyone wants, send me a pm, we can correspond further. At my new place I do have my service area set up already for tuning, so no worries for a turn around delay. Cheers. Van |

How much are you offering for this service?! |

it depends on the board, in all honesty, I would need to see the board to assess what needs to be done. I am working on a contact right now for base grinds. So that might help for those that have boards that cannot be filled with ptex, but want to have their surface smoothened out. |
I need a guinea pig. I'm getting an order in for Synthetic wax. Temperature range between -5 to -9. I want someone to try this out and give me a review. I'd do it, but I don't plan on going up till after the new year. I'm only offering ONE wax. ONLY ONE and i will post when i have a suitable candidate. I need to know the board you have as well. |
^ Somebody take that offer! I'd go for it, but I have an injury from crashing into rocks. Can't board until Jan. |

Watch the name calling there brosef, I'd be willing to put some fat cake on a wager like this. This "chump" means business. |
i dont like cake |
um.....are you a trained certified technician? do you have a wintersteigger? if so which model? do you have a ceramic finisher? how many years have you worked with wintersteiggers? |
Quote:
And when you say Winter Stieger, you're referring to a base grinder...correct? Same with ceramic finishers, you mean edge polishing stones? |
Quote:
yes, i have a 5000 sq foot shop area that has over 500 grand in wintersteiger equipment. You're serious right? Do you have a wintersteiger machine? let alone the one's that do multi purpose services? I've personally worked with just the base grinders from steiger for roughly 2.5 years. You want credentials? How about building snowboards for Revelation/Capita snowboards out at the surrey location for over 2 and a half years. How about tuning and finishing up the entire fleet of 600 + snowboards at cypress mountain's rental shop? How about working at comor, when they were located at 3rd and fir in their shop, ONLY tuning skii's and snowboards. Yes they had a wintersteiger machine there for skii's only, everything else was hand tuned. Not to mention the countless years of tuning and waxing for myself and friends in the snowboard cross series? How about riding for Invasion snowboards for 3 years when they had a 3 board presses. Yes I built each one of my own snowboards, finished them, and then threw them into the wintersteiger automated machine, and gave each snowboards that i built for myself a structured/stone ground finish. And if you still don't trust me, i'll forward you 6 names and numbers of the people i worked for. quit drinking haterade. |
hey vangruver why don't you PM !SG to discuss sponsorship opportunities, or I can let you know the prices to get you set up as a VLS sponsor. If you're interested pm me or !SG. You seem to be quite knowledgable about sporting stuff so it would only be fitting to have you as a sports/fitness sponsor on the VLS side ;) then you can advertise all you want without worrying. |

It's not like it's my primary source of income, in fact I have far too much responsibility on my plate to even consider this being a full time position. Plus i don't mind the little bit of hatred, it's publicity regardless of how you look at it ;) If i do take on someone that needs some work or some kind of income then i might consider sponsoring on this site. thanks though. |
