"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!"

"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 Schultz
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."

Head Alpine Coach

"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

"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!"

"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."

"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
"It
is BAD A*%!!! It felt soooo much like boarding. I took it to
a semi-steep hill where I could get some good speed going and
it is like carving up a run. At the end of the run I finished
off with a big toe side carve and got that "damn"
feeling you get after linking some good turns."
Ted

"I
just wanted to send you a quick note that I've had my T-board
for a couple of weeks now, and I really like it. It's much easier
than I would have thought and has a lot of potential as far
as speed and maneuverability."
Chad

"After
years of harassment from my son, I decided that this was the
year to trade in the skis for a snowboard. Wanting to do everything
I could to assure success and minimize the time, embarrassment
and pain spent on the beginner's hill, I purchased a T-Board
and started practicing here in Florida.
It wasn't until the end of my first and only snowboard lesson
(in icy conditions at Tahoe) that I realized how much the T-Board
had contributed to my learning to ride. Glen, my instructor
quizzed me about my experience and again I assured him that
this was my first time on a board. I think his next comment
summed it up best - "I've taught hundreds of skaters, wake
boarders and skiers but no one has picked it up as fast as you!"
I have a feeling he was visiting Tierneyrides.com that night.
Thanks for making a great product - one that was long over due."

"I
bought a Tboard for my son from Timbo(?) at the X Games yesterday
(8/19) after he tried it on Saturday.
When I got
it back to the office, a couple of my co-workers wanted to try
it on the spot. On the carpet, on the 12th floor of the building.
They are both interested.
After I
got it home and gave it to him, we immediately had it on some
local Souith Jersey hills last night. What a kickin good time.
The smile
on his face couldn't have been bigger and was totally worth
it.
Tonight
will be my turn. At 49 going on 16, you are only as young as
you feel.
To Timbo
and all the guys at the X Games, thanks for all the help. Time
will tell if one is enough."

"Some
of our snowboarding instructors and I busted out the T-Board
this past weekend and had a blast. We took turns riding it on
a long, steep, paved walkway and it was allot like snowboarding.
We have a few more weeks here in Vermont before the snow falls
and the T-Board will make for great training and lots of fun."
Thanks allot,

"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!

I'm sure
you've heard a hundred times, the Tierney board rides like nothing
I've ever tried on pavement. Everywhere we go, we're spreading
the gospel (and it happens guaranteed everytime we go). Which
is half the fun--- the other half is when we carve it up to
the gaping jaws of the unbelievers!
I bought a flowlabs board at the same time, but right away it
was easy to tell that the T-board carves and arcs far better,
with a lot more control and stability. I can't thank you guys
enough for developing this thing; it's changed summer to a fun
season again (not one waiting for snow).
By far,
the best thing I've bought in the last 10 years."
Sincerely,
Rachel Tanaka
"This thing is awesome. A must have for snowboarders! I
first tried it 08/17/02 at the Xgames, and I can't stop! I'm
hooked! Always looking for a new hill to carve."

"I have had a great time so far riding my T-Board. I think it was be a great tool for improving my board-riding balance and smoothing out my carving skills. I suggest trying one for yourself and turn some heads in your neighborhood. If you can't afford to buy one, Tierney Rides rents them for an incredible price! Check it out and I promise you won't be sorry."
