zachp13 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I might be interested in the 149. Do you have any pictures? Where are you located in the Northwest, maybe arrange for pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest knothole Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Could you send me some photos of the board? I am new to carving, but not the hill, and looking for something that is not quite a beginner board. If this board might be for me let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowcoach Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Excellent opportunity for a great rare board! The MLY is in as new condition, a medium flex with excellent edge hold, able to be ridden fast and furious or comfortable just cruising. Will be a great prize to whoever grabs it. Not likely you will see another. -snowcoach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Side Cut Radius 17m Hey Dave, first step is admitting it! I.E. the Nidecker most of the day today! SWEET! Also rode the Rossi 190cm Yesterday , the Donek 186cm and the Identity 186cm Way fun to mix it up! The Donek is super smooth and stable The Nidecker is snappy and very light. The Rossi is fast and damp with snap. The Identity is still my favorite. Must be the "Turny" sidecut radious :) The MLY is very forgiving, soft-ish with an all terrain nose that can be ridden off-piste a bit more readily than the other race boards. The 17m radius tightens considerably under pressure, especially for riders over 175lbs. An ideal "Easy Racer" and an excellent all mountain carver and a good choice for someone that isn't looking for a full on stiff race board. I personally road one for over a year and loved it. Still very fast , yet not as demanding as the stiffer boards. I will likely have one in my quiver for a while. I know several of the riders on BOL have personal knowledge of this board and its qualities. I sold at least 6 of them NOS. Enjoy.
