Riceball Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I was at the Calgary Snow Show today and happened to wonder into the gear swap section and found this board. I'm curious what year it is from and what the history is behind it. It has Tremblant stickers on it as if was in their rental pool. Thanks.

Riceball Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Have only found this online at the Snowboard Museum - not exactly the same board though. http://www.snowboardmuseum.de/board/show/id/283 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 1994 Pj 7.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi Riceball This is a 1994 PJ model. I think it has a double sidecut (9.7 - 10.5m). Try it and tell us! Silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 This was an amazing board - held an edge well at speed, but you could also force it into extremely tight turns ... memories ... Not sure about the performance 16 years later ... Specs: Burton PJ 7.0 from 1994 (the last of its kind!) length: 168,8cm running length: 145cm nose width: 272mm waist width: 220mm tail width: 272mm radius:9.75/10.5m weight: 3.9kg (wow!) rider weight: +70kg Any more questions?

Riceball Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks for all the replies. No, I didn't spend that much for it and basically bought it for an extra set of bindings for friends to use. I may try and ride it once just for the hell of it, otherwise I think it would look good on the wall in my bar in the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riceball Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 were there any more avail?thx kc No, sorry. There was an old '57 Burton alpine non-asym board there, that was still in shrink wrap, but it was over-priced at $70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 7.0 goofy - I hate you! (In a good way :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 If you're an expert carver in search of a trip down memory lane, this will be a pretty fun board. Heck I'd like to try it just to remind myself of what asyms were like. However if you are a novice or progressing carver, there is no point in learning on such drastically niche equipment. You'd learn to carve on it a certain way, and then when you decided it was time to upgrade, you'd have to unlearn a good deal of technique and learn how to ride a normal board, unless you got another asym. The only way to get new asyms these days are to get a full custom, or import one from the scant few manufacturers in Europe that still make them over there.

Puddy Tat Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I know. I never see goofy asyms! Any chance it might be availiable for a spin at NES? Nah I take it back the board actually looks like it is in such good condition I don't think you want to expose it to lift line abuse. Especially if you are going to wall mount it.

Puddy Tat Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'll look forward to giving that a run. I'd look almost period specific as the new jacket I bought this year is lime-green and totally reminiscent of 80's neon. Unfortunately my pants are black and nowhere near bright, or tight, enough to complete the look. Apparently everything old is new again. Including me :rolleyes:.

inkaholic Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have this same board in Goofy also. I used to love it in powder. The low nose would plane out real easily and just float on top. Ahh, good times. Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 And here I was thinking I started riding alpine in 1990. Apparently I started in 94, my first (alpine) board was the PJ 6 from that year, which was green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I see Kato has given it the seal of approval! That's in nice condition. It would look good behind the bar. If it's on snow at the NES then the goofy riders (and I think that's pretty much the whole crew) should line up to take it for a spin. It might make for some entertaining video!

Corey Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Or even better: the regular riders should take it for a spin! What would be more messed up? Going the wrong way on an Asym, or riding a goofy Asym with a regular stance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I gave up trying to take a shot without the damn cat in it. Not sure what smell he was attracted to, but he wouldn't stay away from that board for a whole hour. Maybe it was the smell of fear...
