The T-board is great. I have been riding it all summer. It is the best way to stay in shape and train for the snowboarding season! Chris Klug Olympic Snowboarder Bronze Medal 2002 Olympics

The riders loved them. These boards have proved to be a valuable tool in our off snow training camp. We will use them often and I am sure our team will benefit from the T-boards when our winter season comes around. Thanks again for this great practice tool." Sincerely, Tom Hutchinson Head Freestyle Coach For the Canadian Snowboard Team

Members of the US Snowboard Team have tested the T-board and found it to be a great cross training tool. Many of them plan to use T-board to augment their conditioning programs while away from the snow. The body movements used in T-boarding are very similar to snowboarding. Most importantly T-boarding provides the same carving sensation as snowboarding. Peter Foley Head Coach US Snowboard Team

Had a chance this past weekend to ride the board on some steeper terrain, and I think it performed really well. It took a turn and held well, going to try it again this weekend, it was fun! Jeremy Forster United States Snowboard Association

I had a blast on it today. Just a mellow hill to get used to it, but it turned well and stuck to the ground…. the folks at the Rally will dig it. Eric Snowboard Chairman, American Association of Snowboard Instructors

I enjoyed the ride and found it very stimulating and challenging. The ease of carve and the "lay if down" feel of racing was similar. The extreme "edge" angle that can be felt on the Tierney is also quite comparable. We clearly see the cross training benefits of the boards for the team's style, technique and entertainment. I hope that we can use the boards again next summer during our camps. Thank you for a good summer. Christian Hrab Head Alpine Coach Canadian Snowboard Federation

I just got back from Europe lastnight and the board was here. I tried it today, its awsome! I took it up to one of my local shops and they love it too, they are going to check out the web site. Thanks, Pete Pete Thorndike US Snowboard Team

I've been in Peru and just got back .. I can't believe how much it feels like snowboarding!! .. I have a tendancy to drag the rails because I like to crank turns but, man, is it fun! Lisa Kosglow Olympic snowboarder

Two weeks ago, Kurt from Tierney Rides called me and asked if I would be interested in trying out a new two-wheeled board that's fresh on the market. Of course I was interested! I had read about the board, but never seen a picture or had any idea how it might work. Kurt said he would send one over and hung up the phone. The next day Kurt called and asked me what I thought of the board. I didn't have it yet, so I told him I would call him when it arrived. He told me to look outside and sure enough it was there! Overnight from the East Coast! I knew he meant business, so I went outside on my hill to try it out. This is the SICKEST (BEST) downhill pavement board I have ever ridden! That was my impression after I took a couple of hard falls and started to get used to how far I could lean into my turns. (The board will lean about 40 degrees without sliding out). I have been riding it for a couple weeks now and can touch the ground with my toe and heel, mid-turn, without the risk of breaking loose. My shoes are wearing thin on the ends! The only other board I have ever been able to lean this hard with into a turn, is a snowboard. It's super stable at high speeds as well - I think I've broken the 30 mph mark! I highly recommend this board to anyone who wants to lay into turns all day long during the summer months. It stomps that "other Board for Carving" that all of my friends have been riding! Go to www.TierneyRides.com to check out some photos and videos of their boards in action. If you get one, send me an email and we'll go bomb some hills. Dave Dirickson REI Product Review Team Seattle, WA

This is the first streetboard that delivers a ride that duplicates the lower leg movement of a snowboard." "It's an extremely effective way to practice technique and keep a snowboarder's muscles conditioned year-round." Scott Palmer, Snowboard Program Director, Stratton Mountain Snowboarding School

I'm on hiatus from snowboard competition this year due to extensive knee surgery, and am almost hoping snow will wait a couple more weeks to fall so I can get some more time on the tierney board! I shouldn't have waited so long to get on one. No one else should either! Graham Watanabe Us Snowboard Team
