Tom Kirkman Pro Model Revealed in YouTube leak!?!

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 02:15 PM

Did ATCproductions erringly give us a glimpse of the new rumoured TK Pro Model from MBS? It sure seems like it, whether on accident or on purpose somthing was shown. Check out this screen shot from the ATC Productions latest edit "WE GOT RAILS":

If you watch the video closely its pretty clear that the board he is riding is about the same length but obviously not a Leon Pro as this is no paint job we're looking here. +

Watch the vid and you judge.

Could it be the TK Pro Model? Were ATC Productions directly involved in the graphics? Will it have a stick man sticking french fries up his nose on the bottom or a baby with a large body? Is there a direct link between the color of this hoodie and the board? Is this baby TK's illigitimate baby?

I think the answer to all of your questions is "yes".

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 02:34 PM

Good thing about the boards color is that you couldnt lose it if you wanted to, looks like it glows in the dark. I wonder what kind of suprises MBS has up their sleeves. With the introduction of spring trucks by G.I. and all the titanium and carbon fiber being thrown around by Trampa Im sure they have put some thought into this new line. What do you guys think and what should we expect from the guys who brought us mountainboarding as we currently know it?

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 03:25 PM

Well damn I thought it was cool

Jockass Dave · 01-28-2010, 03:44 PM

Looks awesome to me, liking that colour...

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 03:53 PM

I wonder how many Etchy will order when they come out?

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 06:44 PM

Guess its not green at all, the new TK graphics shown on The Dirt-Net look extra sick. Not to mention the sick ass new trucks which are sporting metal hangers. Great looking board.

So now that the cat's out of the bag lets here it, who did the graphics?

Devin Garland · 01-28-2010, 07:19 PM

The tops not Green, it's super sick, one of the best graphs on a board I like it a lot, there is more to come I don't know what else I can say??

All I have to say is props and holy poop if you don't have one you will...And what was that last trick in tha vid what? umm..

Great boarding by all in the vid..

SICK!!! MORE SICK!!

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:22 PM

Yeah, well I hope they didnt scrap the green deck idea all together. Hoping the new products are released soon. Im guessing the MBS E-news should be out in the next day or so.....so they will show off the new line then? This is a pretty exciting year to be a mountainboarder if you ask me, amazing products all around.

Looks way too narrow unless you have pygmy feet.

What do you reckon that line running up the middle of the deck is BG, seems to have a bit of a ridge in the middle?

BgSurfer · 01-28-2010, 07:28 PM

Looks like a photo or graphic artifact.

Of course, there could be some sort of stringer which is what I am working on for my custom deck. I may be projecting my own idea into this though.

follysurfer · 01-28-2010, 07:33 PM

a stringer in a mountainboard, that would be interesting too see.

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:34 PM

Well I dont think its a photo glitch because it shows up despite being in the shadow of the photographer. I've seen a lot of MBS decks and Ive never seen any kind of ridge or seperation or dividing line down the middle of a board. I'd hope they werent bringing a defective board to a tradeshow either.

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:40 PM

What exactly is a stringer? Maybe they are making a nod to the old frameboards and have added some type of internal frame to the current unibody design?

A stringer is the thin strip of wood running down the center a surfboard to give it lateral strength. Keeps it from snapping in half in the middle. Makes the light foam surfboard very strong in length.

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:45 PM

You think it would improve the reaction time on turns if it had a stiffer strip or ridge running up the middle as that picture would imply?

Stringers increase lateral strength and stiffness without adding much weight.
