Bobby Buggs Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have a 178 thats been sitting in my basement since I was at Steamboat in like 2005. I was thinking about getting it cleaned and waxed and perhaps riding it on the spring days of Cream of wheat. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have a 178 thats been sitting in my basement since I was at Steamboat in like 2005. I was thinking about getting it cleaned and waxed and perhaps riding it on the spring days of Cream of wheat. Any thoughts? I go the opposite direction and go for a very stiff board. harder to break the nose or yourself in the soft with something thats really stiff.

bschurman Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I rode my O-Sin 3800 on a late spring day a couple years ago with hard boots and ending up splitting it right down the middle tip to tail. Kind of interesting break but I can say I wouldn't recommend it in those conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Tried it, hated it. Just ride your AM-T... great corn-snow board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Guess I should just sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 It rides great in slush/chop and any kind of messy soft conditions. Set her with bindings back and ride centered. It is almost impossible to stuff the nose that way (comes up on autopilot). How much to buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Guess I should just sell it Don't do that. You're going to need it for the 4' we're getting tomorrow!;) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdahbonz Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Or how about a trade for a 168 4807 for your 178? I'd rate it a 9 out of 10. Guess I should just sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Never liked the 4807 in anything but fresh pow. Nose is way, way too floppy. Just get rid of the board and get something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
