  1. Hey Guys, I never actually got around to selling it. Life unfortunately got in the way. I'll probably just throw it on ebay shortly (next week or two?) for convenience purposes. I'll post a link to the board when I do. Apologies for the late response. Thanks.
  2. Yeah, bummer about the 157 vs the longer one. What can you do though? Thanks very much for the estimate.
  3. Hi guys, I picked one of these up a while back, and am thinking of selling it. I'm posting it up here to get an idea of how much it might be worth, as some of you guys are very knowledgeable about such things. If it's not worth enough, I'll just keep it, as it's a screamer. Here's the details: Reto Lamm Rad-Air LSD Vessel Concept Snowboard About 34 photos here: http://imgur.com/a/LY9Md Description: This is the 157 model, as opposed to the 164. For those of you who know this board, no explanation is needed, but for those who don’t: http://www.norskdesign.no/industrial-design/rad-air-lsd-vessel-164-157-snowboard-article740-433.html http://www.abry.no/html/2002_03_press_vessel.html The "Rad-Air" snowboard is designed for a narrow segment of the market: snowboarders who want to ride fast. The unique three-dimensional shape of the board has a functional purpose, but also adds to the visual identity. Use of carbon fibre is illustrated in a subtle graphic pattern, giving the board a clean and discreet look that appeals to the more mature customer. Huge 9m side cut [not so much according to Neil below - oh well] for major gas. And yes, it comes with rocket boosters. They are still functional. ;D Condition: Damn near perfect. It is as close to new as I’ve seen on one of these (lately). Still has a fresh quality control sticker on it. :D It has only been ridden 3 times, according to the previous owner (a financial desk jockey), so it has a couple of small scrape depressions on the base; you couldn’t ptex them or anything. There is a scuff mark on the nice metal of the nose, but that is likely removeable. The base is so good, that I would not base grind this one, unless you are a psychotic enthusiast. Edges are close to perfect. The edges need next to no work, unless you want razors. There are a few slight depressions on the top sheet, but otherwise perfect. There is one small depression/chip that looks to have been painted over by the factory right in the center near a binding. I endeavored to capture these by photo, but they were so light that they did not come out. I’m not a great photographer. Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you.
