You’ve still got these?!? Heck ya, I’ll take them. How about $100 including shipping? Send me a message and send $$ your way. -Dave

Bindings arrived in Santa Fe safe and sound! Thanks Pius!

Prior 4WD arrived in Santa Fe safe and sound! Bindings will go on it tomorrow in a gallant effort to appease the snow gods... Thanks Pete!

Is the Nidecker sold? If not, drop me a line.

+1 to that. Does that mean it's now +2? Or if I'm really passionate about it can I + more than one? Can I +10 if I really agree? I feel somehow that a +1 doesn't exactly capture the intensity with which I care about this issue...

Wow. Lots of great info in this thread - thanks so much to everyone for sharing your suggestions. I picked up a used Prior 4WD from Mudbone and I'll most likely mount my Burton Race plates to it to try it out initially. I'll also be tweaking my stance a little next time I go up, and bringing the E Deck with me to give it a go. I'm still hoping that a Nidecker Proto will show up for sale...but I ain't gonna hold my breath. Maybe I'll be able to catch one at the end of the season. I'm also doing more research / thinking about whether or not I have the right bindings in my possession to match what I want these boards to do. Now, if only it would snow...

Seriously- they are yours if you're gonna do something cool and Frankensteinish with them!

Holy smokes!! I'm not sure if you're a genius or insane. Probably both... Hey, I've still got my old pair of Burton Race Step-ins if you want them, although I disavow any knowledge of or culpability in your future prototyping and/or subsequent death.

Nice looking board!

Ahhhh...you got me. I'm in on the Prior 4wd for $130. I'll PM you to get details. Anyone know if I can get 3 hole inserts for my Snowpro race bindings? Anyone?

Yes... but then that wouldn't justify my getting a new board. Which in turn will validate and undoubtedly improve my hardbooting habit. Kidding - the E Deck is coming with me the next time I go up. Unfortunately, it is dry as can be in Santa Fe. I'm holding out until we get another decent snowfall. Until that point I choose to continue to lust after the perfect board.

BlueB - can you comment on Ultra Prime vs Proto? What are your thoughts?

Appreciate the heads up on price. I'll start saving up - it looks like I'll have some time, since I can't find a single one available on the internet!

I've been told that Ultra Primes are also excellent bump boards so.... I'm also looking for a nice Ultra Prime, on the smaller side. 158 or 162.

Got an UltraPrime you're willing to part with? What size Wire, Coil, Amps do you have and in what condition?
