1967stella Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi everyone ive been snowboarding(freestyle) for about 6 years now and when i started my uncle gave me a carving board and i dont know anything about it. It has never touched snow because i just never wanted to mess it up while learning. Its a nitro scorpion 66 i believe and i dont know any thing about it is there anybody that could help me find the information such as any specs, msrp, and possibly the year i am trying to get rid hand it off to somebody who will appreciate it. I will try to post some pics of it tomorrow. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ardski Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Those Nitro bindings are from '94-'96, I collect the stepin version, so I'd guess the board is similar vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipstar Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I am fairly sure this Nitro is from the 1994-97 period, somewhere in there. While a very nice riding board for that era, it is heavier and possibly not quite as nice to ride as a modern board. Waist is about 200mm and it should ride like a shorter GS board. I used to ride the 163 scorpion which i believe is almost the same shape from what I can guess is 1 year earlier or 2 years earlier than this one. The bindings should be ok for someone of medium size, and the board would be about on par with a factory prime or rossignol of the same era. Having bought an oxygen 178 since and ridden them back to back, I would have to say that while i loved riding the scorpion, the lower noses and lighter weights of subsequent boards means you can enjoy a bit more length with better edge hold. I'd say since I paid about $200 USD for the oxygen brand new (a 2004 board I think), that the board with bindings should be priced something similar to the FPs and rossignols that you see from time to time from the 90s; maybe $80-150 for the board and about $50-75 for the bindings. But I know naaaaahthing ('ullo 'ullo) Based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967stella Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I apologize for keepin posting in the sale section but dont know how to move to general board.. Since i have had no luckselling this board i might as well learn to ride it.. What kind of boots do i need to work with these bindings and do i need bigger ones i wear a size 13 boot. Any help would be appreciated. Also i live in northern va where is the best resort for carving and learning to carve, i just went to whitetail last weekend and it was ALL ice it was hard even for freestyle boarding.

snowboardfast Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I owned and rode that same board back when it was available in the 90's. I believe some time in 95 or 96. I rode it so much I wore it out. I had a lot of fun with that board. You will have to get a pair of hardshell boots to use with that board. Also you will need to know what mondo point size is right for you as hard boots are sized in mondo sizes not shoe sizes like soft boots. Those bindings might work? Maybe you could find some alpine snowboarders in your area that could help you get started? Post in the forum to try to find someone that might be able to help? Also post on the ride board for the resorts in your area. Maybe you could meet up with someone who has gear you could try out and or buy? There is a demo center at Berskhire east. I don't know if you could go there or not to try gear? Good luck and let us know any more questions that you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
