patmoore Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 One of our ski club members is selling a 165cm LaCroix RaceBoard with hard boot bindings. The only reference I can find to LeCroix boards is a Skwal board. According to their website, LaCroix makes wooden skis. Any idea how old this thing is? I'm pretty happy with my race boards but some of our club members have expressed interest in alpine boards and I was wondering if this was something they should look at. As always, Much obliged, Pat Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pre School Rider Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 They pulled out of the U.S. in 1999,and got bought up by Rossignol in 2001.The had the most boards here in the '92-'96 seasons,so it's likely older Vs. newer. Nice boards for The Day,but with pretty narrow stances,insert-wise.Also,a Warning here-If this thing is mounted with Ski-Screws(no inserts! Eek),DON'T Ride It,just hang it on the wall.Seriously...

patmoore Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Thanks Eric. I figured you'd have the answers. I'll check out the mounting before recommending it to anyone. Do you plan on spending much time on weekends at Okemo this season? Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Eric - you were right. The bindings were screwed directly to the board (it was the original installation). I guy I know bought it for $50 anyway. He's only ridden soft boot boards up 'til now and figured he'd do a one time switch to goofy to try out hard boots.

Guest Pre School Rider Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Pat,I advise that the board not be ridden.However,knowing human nature,I can foresee that someone would want to ride the dang thing anyway.If that ambition comes to pass,do the following if possible before the board hits the snow;Check all the screws,gently tightening them as not to strip the threading.Use it only on moderate slopes,no Black Diamond stuff at all.If it turns out to be something that is fun enough to continue riding,go check out Sun Valley Tools,buy the 'snowboard insert' kit,and bring the board to me.I'll put inserts in it for a marginal fee,but only after a waiver is signed. Hmm,who'd ever think there might be a niche market for 'antique snowboard repairs'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
