skategoat Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 No affiliation but I thought maybe someone in Calgary would want a cheap starter board: http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/283975/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Nice find Henry! Crazy Creek was mostly OEM from Nidecker, but looking at the shape of that thing and the capped construction, I would say it is actually Elan Ballistic! If so, it would have carbon structure, tons of camber, very snappy, poppy and turny, with great hold on ice. It's a work out to ride, though, as it wants to turn all the time. Fun. Bindings seem to be the Wombats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 :biggthumpMaking room in your signature photo for more boards??? Naaah... I've got a Ballistic 171 already and Roy's got 163. We are both big guys, no point snatching another 157. I just thought that interested people might like to hear some review... I can't even say for certain it was a Ballistic in disguise. Maybe you could confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it looked like you overlapped the boards, didn't they used to be in line tip to tail? Maybe not. I thought maybe you changed it to make room for more photos of your quiver in the signature photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Ah, you are referring to this picture. These were 07-08 favorites, the new one is 08-09 favs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Here's Ballistic 171 and this other thing compared... Pretty similar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valsam Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Had one broke it and there is no carbon in it! They replaced it with a Nale 157 TIGER skin print witch is the same board! Except from being made in the same factory with the ballistic they are very different boards.(also have a ballistic and it's still my favorite) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 All made out of the elan (nale is elan spelled backwards) factory. same shapes different graphics and materals.. I have snaped a ton of nales into pieces, may still have a few around. My quiver may not be as big as Brain's but it still is 50+ personal boards plus another 50+ company sticks....Some times I lose track????
