Marc H Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I occasionally ride a rossi judge 168. Little spit-tail with a lot of setback and a big shovel. Very nimble board for new-snow days, great in the bumps, great in the trees. Floats pretty well despite being rather short. Pretty and somewhat carveable too.Outdated quiver pic. The black on white board is now white on black, thanks to Frank's handiwork. The Donek and Kildy are long gone ... I rode that ride kildy way past its prime too. Where did you pick that up? I had one two years ago and sold it to someone out west. Was wounder if it was part of of quiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobm Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was riding a 1993 PJ 6 (about 10 runs a year, since 1993), now riding an Alp 5.6 1997. I have a Burton Elite 150 sitting in my board closet, but it is a POW only board. East Coast Snow has be poor, so no ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEJ Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not sure what year the hot shine or the osin is. (Any guesses?) The 184 WCR is an 01. Chris custom built this for a racer named John Shelly. 18.4 waist, 15.4 SCR, and, believe it or not, it's got metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gilmour Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm sure some will appreciate that my original Madd 158 is still my main ride. Granted I don't ride much anymore so it's more board than I will need. I still love it. It did get new Cateks a few years ago. Oh and hi...it's been a while. Get your butt out to SES I LIVE IN ASPEN. If you just want to bring your carriages I have a 158 for you to ride with discs. Could I make it easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks John, didn't realize they were that old. That Hot Shine is still a little ripper, it's got over an inch of camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ardski Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I figure someone here can date this 185 oxygen that used to belong to Anton Pogue? The best off piste soft snow alpine board I've ever tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSage Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 My oldest is a Burton Alp 4.5 I believe its a 1998 board?? but it is a great board And has very good edge hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 O- Sin (made byu a ski co .)was 92-95 likely, O'Sin (Dynastar) 4807, that particular model is 2003 and up to few years older. Before that it just had a pin line down the center. 2004-2005 it changed to Dynastar and had blue/green/silver/black "flames". Next, the last generation, was kinda grey/ochre and not too many made... I stand corrected, if someone had better info. Maybe Bryan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that got away... that I should have bought but was expensive and the ugliest deck ever made was the dynastar hoodooguru. That was a serious fun ride at the time... maybe the most fun for a freecarver I ever rode prior to 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 O- Sin (made byu a ski co .)was 92-95 likely,The Original Sin brand started around '89. They were first made and designed by LoFo (Louis Fournier) in northern Quebec. I still have a custom race board he made for me under the Original Sin brand name around 1990.In the early 90's, LoFo became one of the co-owners/founders of Surf Politix Mfg here in the Quebec City area. Dynastar approached them to manufacture their first snowboards but wanted to do it under a separate brand. They liked Lofo's Original Sin brand name so he sold it to them (or may even gave it to them as part of the manufacturing agreement, can't remember right now). The first generations of Dynastar's O-sin boards were designed and made here in that factory from the start, through the mid 90s. I used to help out Surf Politix with shape designs and board testing back then, mainly on the longer freeride boards which was what interested me. So I got to ride the first prototypes of some of those boards, even before the Dynastar guys did. And for thread relevance: I still ride a few days a season a 181 cm K2 Eldorado from the late 90's (suuuper fun board), and my main rides are a couple versions (different flex paterns) of a 180cm freeride board I designed 12 years ago.

jsa Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 My powder early/late season rock board is a mid/late 80's Hooger Booger Grinder. I counted over 100 holes in it from mounting reg/goofy, different stances, different angles. I ride it mounted Monoski style.I paid .99 Cents on Ebay for it years ago. It still is about the best powder tool I've ever rode. With that long Old School nose and rounded/kicked tail it holds it's own with the best of the current stuff. Newer isn't always better...Don Feed the addiction... This was the first snowboard I ever owned! Got for christmas when I was 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 picked up another 173 Identity am (powder board) off flebay for a song and it ripped the scheite out of the steep braille trails today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
