Big D Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I recently have been putting down some notes on the few old boards I have in the garage. I picked up a SIMS Burner a few months ago and was hoping someone might know what year they made the 188 with the triangular graphic in dark red and white.

Chris Houghton Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Bryan will know. Late 90's I think, but most memories fade with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks Chris, I am fairly new here, can you direct my question to Bryan or tell me who he is? Thanks for the response. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Houghton Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Here's somethiing else I found, says that red and white is from 2000. Not sure if it's credible or not. http://www.outdoorreview.com/cat/snowboard-equipment/snowboards/slalom-downhill/sims/PRD_85526_3142crx.aspx Don't know if it really matters, as all years had the same specs. The most important feature is that the inserts are centered on the board - there were a lot that were offset one way or the other by quite a bit.

Big D Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks Chris, yes that is one of the few returns I found as well over the net. I was not however aware of the offset inserts. Interesting info. I have only been on the thing twice and it was a blast but as many have said, you got to put it away when the hill gets crowded.

norman Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Big D I can tell you the year it was made, if your still interested.But it will be a few days.That link was interesting but the date of man. was wrong. I have the brochure for that board at home. Norman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thank you, no rush but if you get a chance please let me know what you find out. Pretty cool that you have the brochure. I have some old buyer guides and catalogs from Burton and have thought of posting the pics out of them. Thanks for the help. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 OK Big D,according to the catalog that I have the red & white 188 was the 98-99 season release. There's also a purple 188 in the same design that came from the 99-00 season.Those are the two catalogs that I have.I also owned a 188, that was not a symmetrical design ,it had green going down one side on a white backgroand I'm sure that was the 00-01 season.I believe I'm on that board for my avatar photo which was shot by Chis Webster a couple of years ago. Enjoy your new board,I sure enjoyed riding them Norman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
