Wolf Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) My couple of leads fizzled out without any boards to to consider, so still... looking for an Elan Ballistic 171. It's an older board, vintage 2000-ish I think. I have one now that really suits my riding style and small hill I'm on, but edge stock is getting thin. If anyone comes across one, I'd love to get a "spare". Edited February 18, 2013 by Wolf still looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Is the Elan Ballistic made in Austria ?? post a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I can get a picture of mine tomorrow. I don't see any indication of where it's made, but Austria would be a good guess. Here's a picture of a 155. They apparently had three or so different topsheet graphics depending on the year. http://shop.snowboardel.cz/images/inzerce/622.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have a few in the basement. I'll take a peak about the condition. Black with the yellow stripe. Cool board....sidecut of a SL deck, yet stable at high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks Kent. Sounds like I want to see your basement. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveBomber Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 just curious but what is so special about this board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 It just seems to work well for me compared with other boards I've used. I don't get a chance to demo a lot of stuff here, so when something works, might as well stick with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i know what you mean, what are the specs on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i know what you mean, what are the specs on it? 190 waist, small sidecut radius - I don't exactly what but it calculates to around 10. Stiffness is "just right", whatever that is. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smilin'Dave Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My 1st HB board was 171 black w/the 2 yellow stripes. Great board. After a season, maybe 2, had an insert spin inside the board. Shipped it to Elan w/my TD1 disc still on it. Elan shipped me a new 171 silver topsheet and my TD1 disc. This is all back in...early 2000's. So the 171 silver sits in my attic in my Bomber board bag w/a Rossi VAS 160. Last time I went Ballistic was about 2 years ago, for one day. Rossi I bought used. I've never ridden it. RedWhiteBlue topsheet. I'll sell either or both. Dare I say it, I ride softboots, again. Angles? Front 57 Rear 60 Donek Incline 160 Radical Airlines 182rockered Why? b/c i can Trades? My interests are traditional camber boards serrated sidecut boards (magnetraction, magtek, etc) Boardcross-style boards 165cm or up, minimum waist 22cm (size 12boots) Rad-Air Tankers 160cm or up, any year Catek FreeRide I or FreeRide II bindings Nidecker Act or Carbon 900 xyz123,etc bindings Sims Burner 197 and ur Madd 158 Cash sale? Cash is king. My Elan Ballistic 171 silver is nicer than any other you'll find. $150 plus shipping, it deserves to be ridden. Triad sidecut btw. 9 at the tip, 10 at the waist, 11 at the tail I'm not very tech savvy. PM? What's that? email me at smilin_dave@hotmail.com or just post here. I'll check back.
