newcarver Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 There is a bunch of these board on E-bay of various lengths for under $100. Couldn't find any info on them. How old are these? Any good? Here is a link to one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Generics-Race-Alpine-Snowboard-Mens-155-cm-522A-B_W0QQitemZ190176546320QQihZ009QQcategoryZ21250QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem They also have some Crazy Bannana asym for $30.

BlueB Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've got Generics IQ 170. Very good freecarver or entry level GS board, even AM capable as it has good nose. I ride it often, in despite that I've got few newer boards too. Very sturdy construction. IQ was their race line, while Peak and Chrono(?) were freecarvers / am carvers. They were purchased, along with Blax, by Head in about 2000. It seems that black 160 would make a good budget price AM board for a smaller rider...

Jrobb Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Too bad they don't have anything in the 170 range, It'd make a great rock board. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 My wife rides Generics boards in the 151 and 171 sizes. I once rode the 171 and was pleasantly surprised. It's older, kinda heavy, but the softer flex made for a forgiving ride. Pretty nice intro-to-carving board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglez Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hey, I think if you look close at the tail you see Peak. That would be in line with what BlueB said above. I bought one and it will be here by FedEx on Wed. I will let you know what it says. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 It's one of the Peak series, 148, 155 and 160 cm lengths. Described in the catalog as a medium flex directional freecarve/freeride board the 160 is an 8.8m sidecut, the shorter boards are even less.

eaglez Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hey, Just got my Generics Peak 48 (148) board from zboards off ebay. Got here in 2 days by FedEx. Packaging was a little lacking but the board was undamaged in the box. This board is pretty flexible. My son will love it for now. D.

eaglez Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thor - good eye, that would be Virus Team Tantalus that is in eaglez :D quiver now. Hope someday my riding technique comes close to Chris'. Then I can do these Virus boards some justice. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
