BlueB Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 :O I just did it... Well, I don't quite know if it was really the favorite, but certainly my most ridden board last year - Prior 4WD 174. Why I did it? I don't quite know why... Probbably to get myself of it and ride the other more specialised boards I've got? Or simply to live more space for metal dreams? Or because I realised that I had abaut 5 AMish type boards? Anyhow, it didn't go too far. I'll be watching Roy ride it, weekly. You never know, if I missed it too much, I could always talk him into selling it back to me :D Let's hear your stories...

~tb Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Simply put, after lending the board out, I was given an offer I couldnt refuse. ~tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzcanuck Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I had a COILER AMX169 with 19cm waist, red topsheet. This board was the first board that I could really carve. Before getting it, I was timidly carving on occasion. Where are you my friend?!! I think I sold it to someone in PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Prokopiw Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Every board I've ever owned has been my favorite board... :D A very cool and Zen-like sentiment...I would have to agree even though some have been at the front of the line longer than others.

pebu Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've never sold a board... My previous favorite (since retired) is going to become a bench for the mud room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I had a COILER AMX169 with 19cm waist, red topsheet. This board was the first board that I could really carve. Before getting it, I was timidly carving on occasion. Where are you my friend?!!I think I sold it to someone in PA. Still seeing snow and safe (somewhat) in PA. It has been one hell of a board; from groomer to trees. It was also my first ride for hardboots and really a great board to learn on. It doesn't see the time on the slopes as it use to; had some additions to the quiver, but still nice for early season and following the 11 year old around. I had thought about passing her on to another beginner, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Thanks again, Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Donek 186gs. Wonderful board, would buy it again. Sold it while it still had good value in order to finance my ongoing tour of all the boutique manufacturers. No regrets. Only board I regret selling is my 1989 Safari Comp II, which I sold for $200 to put towards a '91 PJ7, which I still have. Wish I could have it back.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have 9 and I have only sold one it was a 196 F2 Speedster. I do wish I still owned it . It was hard to let it go. Every board I have was A favorite at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Every board I've ever owned has been my favorite board... :D Exactly! Every board was my favorite at one point in time, that is why I bought them. Does not mean that they would be my favorite now though. As my abilities have changed, so have my board requirements.

Guest GeoffG Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 No. Which is why I have a garage full of boards (and skis, and boots, and...) that I never use anymore. Gotta learn to let stuff go...(I've been cleaning the garage today, it's on my mind!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikerdad Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Volant 173. Rode it for 5 years and it still had good camber even with my 220 lbs pounding the s**t out of it. Sold it to finance my first Coiler (long decambered from a crash). Before the Volant my favorite was a Sims MFR 174. I didn't sell it though, I broke two of them and would have bought a third if I could have found one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I sold my Volkl Renn Tiger to buy a Ride Timeless with Burton soft boots and Burton soft bindings. It was the best thing I ever did to improve my riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoast Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have never sold a favorite board. I either break them while riding or the core gets too soft for any useful purpose. I have an old Burton Floater I was going to use for a bench but it is so floppy it would work better as a seat for a swing. ________ Lovely Wendie99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Sold an RT SL, I really believe it was a 168, but have never since seen one that long, so It may have been a 163. Nevertheless, I loved that board. Sold it for a dime and a song to a kid in a boarding school who wanted to get into hardbooting. Sold it to him with a pair of Cateks. Anything for the kids...

BlueB Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Would you trade the Magfire 10s for something? I've got plenty of toys... Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Don't think that it was my favorite board since there wasn't anywhere to ride it in MN, (plus my life situation) but I sold my Burner 197 to Bryan (OSB). It was a sweet ride............Bryan, you may get a call later this winter about it unless you want to dicker on a Tinkler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Sold? no. Stolen? yes. TWICE, both my favorite boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 My favorite board of all times was my Santa Cruz Tau. I absolutely loved that board, sold to get a new one the next year. The best part is I sold it to get a Sims Terry Kidwell, one of the black ones, it was a horrible board, the nose folded if you leaned forward at all. As you can tell I am an old freestyler. My next favorite board was my Sims Halfpipe, it was my first "modern" board, it was also my first non-used board. Then my Burton Craig kelly, one of the orange, yellow and white (most had black instead of white) ones, that was a fun board.......... Boy, to all those who say that all there boards have been there favorites, I could tell you some stories. The first Mystery air, the all black one........ A NASTY board, I was glad when it got stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powell1.8 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 My favorite board of all times was my Santa Cruz Tau. Also my favorite all around board. Kind of a tank of a board, but it never failed on me. If I could only remember where it went. I lost it in my college years, been MIA ever since.
