www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Another example of "Oldsnowboard" graphics being "Sampled" and brought back to life. Barfoot "Freestyle" Avalanch "Bump" Burton "Air" Others? Lib-Tech K2 "Gyrator" I like the idea of visiting some classic alpine board also. The Burton PJ has been done. What other boards do you think would "Sample" well? Specifically that would work well with my next Tinkler Designs board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have seen that example. I guess it would be asking too much to hope they used the same nose profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering the "Stealth" block letters, simple graphics and base materials (if they can be found), I am just concerned about getting carried away and actually building a radical asysm with a plate, sticks and carbon topsheet and tex plate. OUCH!! 2000$ to build the most insane aysm ever? Oh, and 205cm length and a 17CM waist!! DUDE!!!! Someone want to get carried away? I can't afford this fantasy build.

Jack M Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 did somebody say retro graphics?? The Gyrator is a sore subject for me. In my circle, the Gyrator was deemed a poser board simply because it was made by an evil, interloping ski company! I thought the original Hot Logical was cool.

Carp Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Anyone have images of this board? It's the board that got me to stop slamming when I was learning to board. Greyish/white with confetti type top sheet. It was a rougher top sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Safari Coiler is a great example. The PJ is too! K2 was pretty early in the game, however, I do remember Lib-Tech threatening to make skis. Which they now make NAS instead!!

tahoetrencher Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 1987 Kemper? I do. It's not pink, it's flamingo. 100% Eurotex! I think it was originally $399 in '87. I bought it for $149 three years later It's the only one I've ever seen. Still ride it on bottomless days It's almost too toasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest Kempers are from well before 87. Sounds like you may be describing the "Freestyle"? Photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoetrencher Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 :o I should be more careful using words like "original" in the shadow of your collection. It's the first one I ever saw in my little neck of the woods, Lake Tahoe. Could have been '85 or '86. They kept discounting it every year until I finally bought it. I guess everyone thought it was just too ugly! Never into fashion- I figured that the corollary was to not be concerned with being flamingo. This one has neon green arms and hood. It is a thousand times more serious than those vinyl neon 1990's things people have posted here. Someday I plan to post a pic of this and that rare carbon Atomic (1994?) that we spoke of on the phone a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cool! I don't think I have seen that example. I guess it would be asking too much to hope they used the same nose profile? Haha, no. ;) It was a regular profile, not the TrickStick one. His buddy had another retro-styled/knock-off board, I think it was an Avalance Kick type of graphic. I can't remember for sure though. Seeing the two boards side by side in the rack certainly stopped me dead in my tracks! I had to pull out my Iphone to verify which decade we were in. Neither owner knew they were copies of old board graphics. +1 for the Burton Fish, I really like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svr Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Stepchild is the brand that made the retro look lamatrickstick style grahics (it said kool instead of look)..they also copied a sims kidwell (both the sims and look knock-off graphics are from 07-08) and a burton (08-09 latchkey) as well. cheers, sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ur13 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I love the fact that the Avalanche has imprints from the old A-plates that Damien Sanders and the like used to ride on those, I also dig seeing the old 5-hole Burton pattern on the "Mystery Air", and I find it funny that the K2s look to have haggard t-bolts on them (which they ALWAYS did back then). Otherwise... do kids still ride Forum's now-a-days? I thought their hey-day was about 10 years ago. Oh, and Jack - Gyrator's were deemed the "poser" board in my circles back then too...but more because they rode worst than a plywood ironing board (and yes I have a Avalanche "Kick" in the era). Sure we were all Burton boys back then, but those K2s were horrible even for the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 the gyrators were too soft but the TX carved better than any board the rental shop could get in '87-'89. a narrow Look alpine came close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Otherwise... do kids still ride Forum's now-a-days? I thought their hey-day was about 10 years ago. I am a 40 yo "kid" and bought a new forum park board last season and have a stiff freeride board in the quiver also. The tech in the park board makes it a blast to ride and is a very versatile board. So yes, they are still out there and a great board to ride........and not just for "kids". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Umm, b0ardski? The K2 TX was a monoski. We're talking about snowboards, yes? Ha... actually the Hot Logical I was thinking of doesn't seem so hot anymore... How 'bout a Sims Blade... Although probably the only graphics that would look right under the Tinkler plate would be the Madd boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtslalom Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I had that exact Hot Logical with those exact sno-pro bindings. That was my second carving deck after the first year pink and white Burton PJ. I was wondering who's board that is and how they acquired it?

b0ardski Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 That Sims is the 1st metal edged board I ever saw, a dorm mate got 1 in '86, still a plywood core though like the burton cruizer. K2 used vert/lam cores in '88 which had way more spring out of turns. Sims used Volkl vert wood cores around '90. I got the monopl8 conversion on the 3yr old TX when I demoed and bought the Lib Grocer in '92. I'd love to see the litigator/grocer/doughboy pair of ski graphics make a come back, it tends to blow parkrat minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
