nekdut Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Looking for a smaller 147-154cm all mountain carver, bx board or aggressive freeride board for a friend of mine. She liked an older Burton Wire 147 quite a bit, and since her feet are small, she was able to ride softies on there (21.5cm width) with reasonable angles (small footprint Catek Freerides helped). What do you guys have stashed away that you might be willing to unload? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have a Rossi Alpine free-carve 160, maybe a bit bigger than what you're looking for, but it fits the style. All mt carver designed to be ridden with hard or soft boots. I have some old rad-air hardplates that could go with it if you want. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=35428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey thank you both for the options. LCENTENO: I think full alpine boards will be too narrow. My friend will probably use small softies on this board. What are the waist widths on those? dave: Thanks for your link. It might be a bit too long and/or stiff for a smaller female, but I'll ask her. The width seems perfect though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I've got an older F2 Eliminator.... I think it's a 147cm not sure on the other specs. It's a red/white/blue one .... was my goto board for several years. I'll let it go CHEAP (hint, hint.... make an offer!) I rode it both with softies and plates.... TON of FUN either way! I have a 7 1/2 women's foot (24.5 mondo) and if I remember correctly, I could use fairly low binding angles with the softies with no problems. This board was my teaching board for a few seasons too. Trying to think if I have an old picture of it somewhere.... it's been in storage the last two or three years at least. Oh, nekdut? If this is a gal you care about PLEEEEEEAAAZE don't try to teach her yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hey Kinpa, that might be the perfect board. Could I see a picture? Specs? Any significant damage or issues to be aware of? And no, not going to be teaching this person. Just a friend who is looking for a good board for a good price. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a friend who is looking for a good board for a good price. :) If you think you're really interested, I'll have to go dig it out of storage and get a picture.... I will tell you this though, it was my favorite for many seasons... honestly can't say it's in the best of shape, but therefore priced accordingly! Um, significant damage? like a core shot or something? no, I don't think so, but if I remember correctly, it does have a cap constructions, so of course, the top sheet is a little rough on the edges.

kinpa Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Just remembered, I also have an Oxygen FR board which is about the same size.... a little more direction oriented (the F2 is a BX board) and probably in better shape too.... I'll dig them out over the next few days and get pictures to post. The Oxygen would also be on the cheaper side as it is older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
