jason_watkins Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I saw an interesting board on the hill yeserday (mt hood meadows) and am wondering if anyone knows what it is. It was a wide, short boadercross shape. But, it had a long nose, with the point just rounded off a bit. Somewhat like the fish or the voile boards, but even longer. It also had a rounded tail, but with the last few cm of the tail chopped straight accross. She was riding it with plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest __max Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Maybe mysterious was not a board, but She? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dold Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 How come you couldn't catch her and find out what it was. Was she faster than you? That would be very embarassing. Are you sure it wasn't really a man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCrider Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 hey Link N why be embarassed if she's faster? I kinda dig fast women myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_watkins Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 fleaman: yes, like the ones in the middle. linknturns: gee... unless you got a gold medal hanging around your neck, I'm pretty sure there's women faster than you. Besides, is hassling random chicks your method? How's that work out for ya.... ohh, I guess based on the avatar maybe you go straight for the grope? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pre School Rider Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 would be a Burton Air from the '95 season,but I'll scour some old Buyer's Guides and see if another board fits the description. BTW,I get some questions about my Rad-Air Obsession's squared-off-but-curved-up tail all the time.My reply is that it keep it from tipping over when I stand it up in a rack.Really,it dosen't ever affect the board's switch handling,reduces swing weight a tad,and indeed dosen't tip over propped against a wall. At times,I almost feel sorry for the new-schoolers! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 1993 is the last season that the tails were REALLY squared off, after it was softly squared for a couple of years, before seeing all the rounded tails we have now. My soft board is a 1993 Burton Air (like the one at the bottom of the picture) and the tail is pretty squarred off for a freestyle board. Also, it is around the same years that the tip and tails were starting to have a similar lenght instead of having a long nose and short tail. About the boards in the middle of the picture, I would say more early 90s, because they have really square shapes and have little sidecut.
