S.S.Dad Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Lookng to buy 2 Prior World cup Race boards. I am considering wether to buy new or possibly if someone out there has these boards in excellent condition might buy used. 161 ish and 175 ish . For an up and coming 14 year old that is 5'-7" and weighing in at 130 lb. (slalom and giant slalom).Any advise is appreciated Thankspccervingbridge@comcast.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 if you have the means you should seriously consider this for your slalom board: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=21236 edit: also get in touch with "Snowden Militia" - Vic has had a few Kessler GS boards for sale recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I would go a bit shorter on SL for his weight/height. Someone had a sweet little Nidecker SL in classifides... Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Dad Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks Guys, One of my concerns is that this kid has grown 7 inches in the past year and his coach seems to think a 160 range for slalom would be a good choice. I will conseder all advice though . Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 161 is SL size for a grown man. However, I would go with what coach says - he knows your kidd better, riding style, level of aggressin, etc... I woul definitelly look into metal version of Priors. Way easier to ride then traditional construction. Next step up in money and ride would be the Kesslers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Dad Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks , I would definatly consider a 157. Your probably correct about the 161 issue . He has been practicing and a 172 just as an" all mountain getting his feet wet" board. If we don't come up with good used soon we will buy new while the prices are down . Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powercarver Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have a couple 171 WCR's I'd like to Sell. One has never been on the snow and the other might have five or six days on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Dad Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Interested in your boards, could you email me some pics. and what price you need to get for them. You can e-mail me at pccervingbridge@comcast.net thanks S.S.Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoasticerider Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would part with a Custom WCR I have .It was built for Canadian Team racer Ian Hodgekiss? It has I.H. written under where you place the bindings.Also I took it to get sharpened and the local dingdongs de-laminated the base a little where the two colors of p-tex meet.If interested Ill post a couple photos soon. It has a wicked sidecut (8.5) and is fun but I have nt been riding hardboots in a couple years. I would let it go for $200. a little clamp and glue job and it would be good as new. has a gutsy feel to it. not as soft as a regular 155 WCR but springy.very intuitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Dad Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks eastcoasticerider, I'm really looking for something in A1 condition or possibly new. I've got a couple irons in the fire that I am looking at. The 155 is also a bit shorter than what I am looking for, 157 is probably what I'm targeting . Thanks for the offer though!
