Neil Gendzwill Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Race Rooms rule!! I loved that board...Neil get some soft boot bindings you like, and drill out holes in the base plate to match the gunu pattern and get after it!!! Sorry, don't own softies! I think I will just leave it as a souvenir board. I regret selling my other old boards so I will keep this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sort of adds up. Pretty sure Fawcett is goofy- but it's a cool board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Love the Mark Fawcett video! This photo from 01(?) was and still is so inspiring! ...and before that Chris Karol's "Don't Pat The Dog" video....I must of watched that 100 times! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi Eric. Yes, this board was first mounted goofy. It has been remounted. My thought is this was owned by a few racers perhaps over the years. The key items that made me wonder is the channel bottom , snow stix , cross M remnant and the red Fawett sticker on the tail. It is always fun to learn the history of a particular snowboard. Thanks, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil get some soft boot bindings you like, and drill out holes in the base plate to match the gunu pattern and get after it!!! was about to say - i'd assume it'd be easy enough to drill out some f2 discs to make it work. granted, the vintage tech probably wouldn't really be worth riding seriously, apart from the novelty factor. how to justify getting a coiler w/ custom topsheet now...

slopetool Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Seems as it would be the time to start up some regional races. Whats the common perimeters again? Racing on boards that are from before 94' ? before the three/four hole pattern? Is the old school race at Donner still going on every Spring?
