Sold

Hi Carvers, I am selling a set of TD3 bindings, ready to rock. Bought these new 8 yrs ago, rode them less than 10x. Had kids shortly after purchase, and priorities keep slipping away... Excellent condition, been stored away. Comes with 6 degree cant plates, and medium(blue) e-rings. These are awesome, the 6/6 cant worked super for me and I LOVED the flex of the blues. Time to let them go... asking $250, with free shipping CONUS. Located in San Ramon, CA. Thanks!

I've owned this deck, it is fabulous!!!

I’ve had the same experience with mine, exact same board & length. I’m 190-200lbs fully laden and I can push that thing as hard as my legs will let me, but it cranks it in. It responds with input, and the more concerted I am, the better it rides. For Tahoe slops it is a great length too, a bit short & tighter sidecut for being able to snap it in tight, but you can still visit Mammoth & stretch your legs out back a bit to extend the melodies at high speed. Ideally I’d stretch it out & make it a 170’s length for the bigger resorts, but for one main carving schtick, the WCRM 169 is ideal. Really a wonderful board, Metal is amazing, and Chris Prior has done a great job incorporating it.

Very good deal!!! That's one of THE ideal carving sticks, midrange sidecut which suits the majority of runs, metal, if I didn't just get my 169, I'd be on it! Good luck!!!

So, I'm 180lb guy with about 8 yrs in hardboots. Been through a Donek FCI 163, an Oxygen Proton 178(scared me silly!), a Prior 4WD 169, and today I had my first ride on my near-new WCRM 169 I just received second-hand. The venue was Kirkwood, and the weather was packed groomers, a bit hard & cruddy, but a fairly decent carving surface. First off before even riding it, I was impressed at how light it is, and how thin! Much thinner & lighter than my previous steeds. In fact, to compare it to my other boards really seems unfair, because it's such a different technology. Second, the dampening built into the board makes for very confident edgehold on imperfect snow. It's wonderful how it eats mild icy-crud when cranked over, even better than the 4WD did. I could really feel a difference in the way it responds to bumps, much smoother & controlled, without chattering. Now, for useability overall, I'm happy to report I can skid it at will almost as easily as the 4WD did (Shhhh don't tell anyone I'm a skidder sometimes!), but when it's time to rail, it delivers MUCH confidence when cranked over. It reminds me of a Ducati sportbike...it likes to be "on it's side". Most of all though, predictability is what I'd say is the best asset of the WCRM. The board is predictable when railed, when slid, and when straight. It does not surprise you which is very refreshing for a 'race' board. However, what I thought was REALLY best about the predictability aspect, is the transitions out of a turn. Whereas some boards with either stuff the nose & toss you when pushed, or wash out, or pop out with much unexpected force, this WCRM comes out of a turn with as much composure as you put into it. In other words, if you want to pop it hard & jump from transition to transition, it will, and it will remain smooth doing so! A bit on sizing; I thought I'd want a wide version when I was hunting for one, coming from a 4WD, but I run 65/55 angles with mondo 27.5 AF600 Raichles, and had no issues. Plus, being skinnier wasn't actually as twitchy as you'd expect...responsive is what I'd call the feel of it, again it gave me what I put into it. For example, I was sloppy/weak in a few entries off the chairlift for the first turns, and it responded with a sloppy wobbly reply. Then I got in my game with proper stance & concentration, and it responded with control. It's really a communicator of a board. So, to anyone seeking that board that is truly useable in many areas of the mountain, but still wants a real dedicated trench digger, try a WCRM. It is really a great carving tool. FYI, I 'think' I'd like the 173 a touch better when fully cranked over for the slightly larger scr (even in skinny-tahoe runs), but the scr of the 169 served up well, good arcs with enough trenching time to enjoy and lay it out, but remain within the run. Great Board!!!

What model season is that? 2009/2010 or this season 2010/2011? Why are you ridding yourself of such a beauty?!

Thanks all, Armitron came on thru.

Funny, my liners get fuzzier every season... related?

VERY interesting thread. I've often felt od going above 19.5" on any board, and I'm 5'11" with 31" inseam. That equation works out to be 19.5! Rad! Anyhow, widder will feel like a more controllable stance, but as you stay centered on a bolt pattern of a board, it will cause it to behave differently, since we all favor a leg. I tend to rocker back ALOT in my riding, extending a carve out longer(probably a habit of riding <10m scr decks), so I set mine back a bit from center to give me that happy spot I enjoy. It really is feel on a particular board, just make sure to take notes!!!

what year is the axxess, & condition? refresh my memory on that board's specs too. thanks!

$325 shipped?

Did some homework, and updated some trade options in the 1st post, to open up the possibilities. For selling, I'll take $350 shipped, $300 local pickup...

Good question...I was hoping to trade, or even trade + cash. I'll have to give it some thought.

Hi all, I'm unfortunately looking to trade or sell my Prior 4WD, 169. The board is 5 yrs old, bought new from Prior. It only has 1-5 days per season on it, so not alot of use(went through a busy new job winter, then a busier newborn child winter, and I ride a freeride deck when the 4WD isn't suitable for conditions) The top sheet has general scuffing & wear from lift lines & bindings(TD1's then TD3's as you can see in the pics), with two minor topsheet edge gouges(pic) and a few more very minor topsheet edge nicks. Base is in very good shape with two very shallow scrapes(pic) that would come out in a base grind if desired, but I've never felt the need. I hot waxed it every 1-2 days, base has never been ground, and edges are in excellent condition(tuned @ 89deg). I still love this deck, it drops into a carve so easily, yet can be scooted around at will. It's a great beginner-intermediate board, especially for technical & skinny slopes like in Tahoe. I've simply outgrown it for my riding style, and am looking for more effective edge, and greater sidecut. Bummer is I can't justify having two boards at once to my wife! I'm looking to trade for something with greater effective edge, and larger sidecut, 11-13m, something in the 170's. So, a Prior FLC, FLC Wide, WCRM or WCRM Wide, WCR or Donek FCII, Blade, or maybe an Axxess. Also interested in Coiler(but need to get educated in them) If a trade cannot happen, I'll sell it outright & look to buy later. Thanks for looking, please PM or email questions! hiperfind@hotmail.com -Glen
