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

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.

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. Bryan
