  1. Upgrade to Prior 4X4?

    Good info guys...I'm gonna go with the 4X4...thanks!

    Rick, I ride Burke weekly (free pass from work) and I get around to one of the following, Cannon, Bretton Woods, Wildcat and Cranmore at least once a month. My son has a season pass to Cannon so I try to get out with him some.

    Thanks for the info guys.....

    My angles are steep enough that I don't hang over on either Sims...around 57 degrees regular on Oxygen 01 step in bindings.

    Besides wide open groomers I also like the narrow trails with more terrain to negoiate...that's why the shorter boards.

    The Descender has been the All Mtn. Carver for me and the Daytona has been the wide open groomer.....kinda looking for one do-all Board.

    Here's the stats for those boards: I had the board lengths wrong......

    Daytona: length 162cm

    Waist 25.3cm

    Sidecut Radius 9m

    Flex 5.6

    Descender: Length 157cm

    Waist 25.3

    Sidecut R 8.7

    Flex 6.7

    What about a Prior ATV?

    OK...I an old and cheap SOB and I've been riding a Sims Descender 163 and a Sims Daytona 168, both bought new in 2001!

    I'm 6'2 and 225lbs, mondo 29.5 and get out at least once a week throughout the season and all though the Sims are still running strong I guess I might benefit from a newer ride.

    I'm riding in New England and have fun on blue/blacks doing mostly big, wide carves.

    So...I was thinking of a Prior 4X4 174....slighty used

    What do you guys say? Is this a move in the right direction or would you recommend something else?

  5. Raichle 324 Boots 29.5 $50

    Raichle 324 Mondo 29.5 SOLD!

    The 300 series is the stiffest boots Raichle ever made.

    Replaced straps and heels two seasons ago.....toe buckle is difficult on right boot, but catches towards the tightest setting. Traditional liners in fine shape.

    I would rate these 4 out of 10, mostly for the scuffing and buckle wear.

    $50 + shipping

    Well,

    See ya on the slopes, I'm the old fat guy that just passed ya!

  10. Oxygen 01 Bindings?

    in For Sale

    Posted

    OK...this is my monthly post looking for anybody that's been riding as long as me (early 80's..25 years?)and still got some Oxygen 01 bindings parts laying around.

    Need a couple front bails to get my rock board back out carving on the slopes...you don't want to know how old the board is either!

    .....and yes I'm a cheap mofo!
