Board is sold.

Overall Length 168 Effective Edge (CM) 151.5 Side Cut Radius (M) 13 Nose Width (CM) 22.6 Center Width (CM) 18.6 Tail Width (CM) 22.6 Construction: Sandwich Bought this board in 2009, rode it 2 or 3 times. It's a bit too much board for me and my tiny mountain. It is in very good condition, and the only scratches on base are very small and shallow scratches at the tail from moving to my new apartment. Asking $200 shipped to continental US

I picked up this Rad Air Soul 154 Asym today at a local used sporting goods store for dirt cheap. It looked cool and I figured it would be a laugh to use as a rock board and give the old asym shape a try. Anyone know anything about them, or what year they were made? I'm curious what the sidecut is. <a href=" " title="Rad Air Soul Topsheet by apv211, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5297/5516019930_e49f13246b.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Rad Air Soul Topsheet" /></a> <a href=" " title="Rad Air Soul Base by apv211, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5251/5516019936_54b26241e6.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Rad Air Soul Base" /></a>

If you're planning on using the Fin Tec step-ins, you should buy the heel receiver kit from bomber. The FinTec's use steel guide pins which will not play nicely with the standard aluminum receivers on the Catek step-in kit.

In the lift line I noticed another guy on hard boots and yelled "Nice board!", he kind of shrugged me off until he noticed I was riding an alpine board and replied "Not many of us left are there". I found it amusing as this is my first season on hard boots. Same day... Woman "Is that like a combination of skiing and snowboarding?" Me with a grin "Nope, it's all snowboard" People seem to always ask me if my board is fast, and it's usually easiest to just reply yes and tell them it's a race board. -Anthony-

Ha ha yeah it's mobbed all the time though so that's not new. I was at Camelback last Saturday from about 10am-4pm and it was way crowded, but I had a really good day so I was happy. I'll be at Blue this Thursday night 5:00pm to 9:00pm if anyone will be around. Stopped in the rental shop but apparently you were on break Greg, I'll try again next time I'm around. Anthony

Bummer, looks like I'll be making 1 carve then evasive maneuvers the rest of the way down paradise, worse things have happened though, I'm happy to at least get out with the way my luck has been going. Well if all goes well I'll see you at the summit lodge shop at rental shop at some point, maybe later on after the initial bus-rush.

Well, since we're doing introductions I might as well stop lurking and post as well. I've been riding alpine gear on and off for about 2 months (1 last season and 1 this season) with riding sparingly maybe 5-6 times a month. I'm the president of the Lehigh University Snowboard Club and we have 3 other alpine riders at the moment. We usually go every Thurs. and Sunday night, and I will be there this Thursday from about 5-9:30pm if anyone will be around, or I can maybe stop in and see Greg( I assume you'll be somewhere behind the rental counters?). I met NickG a week or so ago but haven't been out since I saw him because I've been loaded with work. I also briefly spoke with someone in the lift line on pond skim day last season while I was on a 167 Burner in nothing but board shorts and a T-shirt, no idea who it was though. Hope to see you guys on the mountain, feel free to flag me down if you see someone wearing a black coat, white pants and white helmet while making sloppy carves(or yelling at a large group of hooligans in my club at the upper lodge). -Anthony-

I use Baltic Birch 1/4" plies, two sheets laminated together with titebond wood glue, and as far as I know it's fine to do a drop through on that, as long as you put an extra layer just where the trucks go. Like they do on the Kracked Skulls board I linked to below. The great thing about laminating is you can add camber (and concave if you make a press) and it makes the boards a lot livelier rather than a damp flex. http://krackedskulls.com/images/IMGP0069.JPG I just got back from longboarding around, and tomorrow my Never Summer Heist gets here so I absolutely can't wait for that!

Nope, no special trucks required. Just take off the king pin and the hanger/bushings. drop the baseplate through and mount with nutes, reattach hanger. Very simple, and I like drop throughs a lot. Of course if you want to get real fancy, you could do a flush mount. :p
