places to recycle old snowboards denver,CO

[snowboardfast]

Does anyone know if you can recycle old snowboards in Denver,CO?  Afew years ago you could take them to Colorado ski and golf but not now.

A modern composite snowboard is not recyclable. It's landfill, give to someone else to use, burn in sacrifice to Ullr, or wall of fame...

This is how I recycle mine (my wife and my dad)

Or, with stiffer boards, cut 1/4" inside of the edges the full length, then shape your nose/tail, drill for mounting Longboard Trucks, add griptape, and make a street cruiser. It'll be flat throughout (don't use the nose curvature as a kicktail, it's too soft), but if the board still has some camber left, it'll pump turns quite well. Wheelbase ought to be around 24" max, unless it's a real stiff board. I've made about a dozen of them over the years.

Try asking Living the Dream Brewery if they want it for their decor. They use skis and boards in the brewery.

Have you ever doubled up two boards like that to get a stiffer platform? Would they need to have almost exactly the same camber profile? I've often thought that a skate deck bolted to a ski with trucks on the ski could be fun...

Nice! I have that Arbor Munoz...it's still ridable (I think), though I haven't been on it for years...

Nope, not with two boards, or a Ski. But, along the lines of a Powell Beamer, I have added another layer of wood the a softer snowboard/turned/longboard. I did this for Schwippert's debut at Turri Road, which was a 40mph Super-G skateboard race. His ride was formerly a Burton freestyle board, cut to 45" (with an Ick-inspired swallowtail) and I glued/t-nutted a beam of Basswood to both raise the tucks, and stiffen it a bit. Somewhere, on a CD, I've got photos of him riding VT Route 279 outside of Bennington, just before it opened to traffic. If I find them, I'll post 'em up.
