Bordy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Could You please post a drawing in exact 1/8 scale. Also would this be a good board for a begginer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think the important question here is what graphics? Because we all know the graphics make the ride sweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your selling a 158 but 1250.00. for that price it has to do a lot more than a good ride!!!!!!!!! were are you riding these days? i heard you got a new job-let me know whats up and i will see if we can get out and ride one day catch ya soon ed griffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ed, Check out the detail of the 58, they are not like this anymore. Great to hear that you are learning from one of the best! Your ridding friends are some of the best around! It's good to be you! Let's plan on getting together next season as this one is done!

SEJ Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Why does the Nos go for $1200.00 when the other Madd 158 go for 300.00? Must be an amazing difference that I don't know about! PLEASE! Educate me. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate me. Scott the last couple of these I've seen (used ones) sold for around $1000, so $1250 is a reasonable price. it is a totally different board from the new ones. I can tell you the difference in the ride, but it's also very much a collector's item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack M Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Now that the board is sold, I'd like to chime in here. I've never ridden an original 158. I didn't really like the 158 I demo'd in 2004 - didn't see what all the fuss was about, and it just seemed like any other short, nervous board with a minuscule sweet spot. They worked for some people, just not me. The $300 used 158's we see popping up here and there are surely of this variety, given away by their blue tinted topsheets. Then I demo'd a new 158 in 2006. Completely different board, *had* to have one. This January I took delivery of my new 2007 158 f3. I cannot imagine any 157-163cm alpine snowboard made by any manufacturer at any time now or in history carving any better than this. If the original Madd 158 is indeed better, then it is surely worth the price someone paid. However I don't believe that is possible. My new 158 eliminates all curiosity I ever had about the originals. I can enjoy and recommend it without reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 This January I took delivery of my new 2007 158 f3. I cannot imagine any 157-163cm alpine snowboard made by any manufacturer at any time now or in history carving any better than this.Which I lovinly packed and shipped....How can you really be "ILL" with me when I pring such joy to your life?????? If the original Madd 158 is indeed better, then it is surely worth the price someone paid. However I don't believe that is possible. Its true and is in my Opinion... My new 158 eliminates all curiosity I ever had about the originals. I can enjoy and recommend it without reservation.[/i] There are huge differences in many of the Madds flex and ride in the same shape. The hope is everyone can find their dream ride...
