  1. Thanks s-force for clearing that up but what is up with the name wishbone, was that board Kelly's wish and Jake threw him a bone? Here is a photo from the seller, I will post more when it shows up. The base hase two small ptex blem.
  2. I am new to the board but I have been snow boarding since the mid 70s I started out on a yellow snuffer with the rope attached, snapped about 5 of them. Some how I got a Sims yellow plastic board sled that you got on up right and again I folded that in half, but not after years of riding it. Got a Burton performer and I was hooked on riding ptex. My 1993 Craig Kelly 171 was my best board ever (after1 gnu, 2 k2, 2 sims) I rode that thing till it was a noodle sent it back to Burton and they sent me a all black Kelly 173 the one with the wire on the bottom. I sold that Kelly to friend who begged me for month's till I brock down and sold, what a mistake he trased the board in one season. O.K. so I am on e-bay and up pop's a 1995 Kelly wishbone with a buy now price so I clicked and purchased it. The seller said Kelly went to Jake Burton in Feb. of 1995 and talked Burton into making a free style powder board for big MT. riding, jibbing was the rage back then at that time. The board is blue on top and has an off white plain bottom accept a B logo at the top. Can any one tell anything else about this board, I am hoping that some one has one that can fill me in. I will post a pic. when I get the board. Maybe Kelly & Burton decided the making of this board over a wishbone snap.
