Inspired by his dad’s career as a pro snowboarder in the 80s, this frame is reminiscent of the boards his dad used to tear up the mountain on. We can’t wait to see Talus rip some desert pow down the legendary @redbull Rampage course this Saturday.
“This bike is a tribute to my dad’s career in snowboarding as a pioneer for the sport back in the 80’s. He used to compete with the legendary snowboarder Craig Kelly. There’s an old article my parents showed me about my dad, Carter Turk, and Craig Kelly explaining their styles as snowboarders. ‘The Beast; quiet, clean and discreet approach to his lines (Carter) and the Bionical Boy; flashy, big and lots of confidence (Craig), these two names would resonate during that era of snowboarding.’” - Talus Turk
Fun fact: Talus’ dad, Carter, was the first person on a snowboard to do a double backflip on camera.
