D.T. Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Anyone have any experience with this board? I found a few older posts (2004, 2005 time frame) but no real reviews. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulk Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I have the 2004 65 boardercross shape. bought the first one from the factory store in Mass. for less than $300 as a Demo in 2004. Bought the second one from Klug riding .com last year and thrashed it over the rock bands in Chile this past august. Waiting to order my next one before x-mas. Three hard winters, and I always brought that board with me on every trip, as an easy carver/ all-mountain board. Soft flex in the nose, stiffens at the bindings all the way to the tail. If you like the stiffness of a Madd in the nose this 65 is not for you. Shred Grummer hated it, Shredder Jen loved it.... Burton made it only one year and I'm guessing the racers hated it... I have no time on any of the other r17's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.T. Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 PaulK - thanks for the response. Guess I should mention that I am looking at a slalom deck, the 6.0 (160 cm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I can't read the language but I get the impression that the Japanese riders love it: http://www.iidakei.com/r17shijyoukai.htm My daughter rides a 154 R17 but I doubt her review would be relevant since you're probably twice her weight. I can tell you it's pretty stiff and it sure is purdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertAlexander Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I picked these up today, with the matching set of burton plates , looks like it was originally bought as a complete set, boards and bindings in 2004. boards are in very good condition, they both look to be very well made sandwich construction, burton was made in Austria, the Moss looks like it was/is made in Japan.

Guest Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 This may be one of the oldest thread revivals I have ever seen. Almost 7 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
