Jack M Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have several copies of Absolutely Radical and I think it was issue # 3 or 4 that advertised the "Prop snow plane" which sort of looked like a propeller prop of an airplane and was what I believe was the first advertised Asym. T Hold the phone. Was this thing intended for carving groomed hardpack? Was its asymmetry intended to improve carving? If no and/or no, then I don't think this qualifies as what is being discussed in this thread...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 did not mean to get off topic... I have a couple on the wall too :) here then is another opinionhttp://www.k5.com/page.asp?itemid=217 [ATTACH]30627[/ATTACH] Rode one of these back in the "late-earlies" aka 1988-1995. I remember blunting it... (cutting the tip and tail with a jig saw) as that was popular at the time. Shortened the board and shaved some weight. a fun, forgiving board.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 The Asym question came up recently. Just had to bump this thread. :D Some great alpine history mixed in there too. Ride on my friends :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardfast Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Keep this thread going as I like to remember what asyms I used to ride although I got to demo a Virus asym race board not too long ago that was new production. I might take the hooger Booger that I have now and install inserts on it so that I could ride it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambertoMI Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have several asyms that are in my quiver. I have an alp 7, PJ 7 and also the woody asym air 6.7. I ride these regularly and still enjoy to run old school. Actually the funny thing is that my newer Virus boards deliver performance that was as fun and aggressive as these old style asyms did. Fun can be had anywhere, anytime, and any style. Lamberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
