The creation of two brothers Kurt and Tyler (guess their last name), Tierney Rides was born originally from an idea that came to Kurt in Spring of 1999. He wanted to create a street board with all of the characteristics of a Snowboard. Speed. Control. Touch. And, most of all, he wanted the feeling of carving the hill. It seemed obvious to Kurt that it had to have two wheels. Kurt and Tyler decided the only way to be sure was to make one. The first prototype was made from hardware store parts in their mom’s garage. While nowhere near the ride they were looking for, they knew it was possible.
After 10 months and countless trial and error, the basic ideas for the final Torsion Response Technology™— were finalized. Snowboarders, skateboarders, friends and family tested prototypes. The feedback was extremely positive. Like all great ideas, everyone who rode it couldn’t believe no one has created this technology before. Tierney Rides LLC was officially formed in October 2000. Manufacturing began in March of 2001. And as soon as you step on to a T-Board, you’ll understand how well the passion has paid off.
