Jack M Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Whatcha got? Finally have a place to hang my first 3 boards… 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Oh, I lusted after those PJs with the mixed base. Unfortunately I sold my first two boards, a Burton Elite 150 and Sims 1710 Blade. The rest are hanging on the ceiling of my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Looks great, Jack! Paging @www.oldsnowboards.com! I wrecked my old Black Snow Edge, and sold my Burton Cruise 165 for a criminally low price. Would love to have either one on a wall. My Nitro Fusion got me into carving before I knew what carving was - also sold for pennies. I have a Volant SL that I want to polish for wall art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Kind of a shitty picture but… closest one is an old Prior 4WD 169, not sure the year but one of the early ones. There’s a ‘94 Asym Air 163 and a ‘99 (I think) Tanker 2K. Plus the first board I rode with hard boots, an ‘89 Gnu Race Room 178, still with the Elfgen bindings.

Neil Gendzwill Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 The Prior is around that '99 vintage for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yup, had that very same Elite 150. Took it to Sunshine for the first big mountain trip. Back in those days you had to take a lesson in order to get your snowboarding permit. Payed my $12 for the lesson plus $5 for the permit, then took the board to the top of the mountain on the Great Divide Chair. Half way down the front binding pulled out, and I ended up walking down to the top of Angel Chair and riding that chair back down to the base. Turns out they used helicoils in the foam core. Shop drilled it through and remounted with T-nuts but they used the same hole locations, so the binding just pulled straight out again. Drilled it through in a different location and that held. Then those old webbing/Fastex bindings had to be screwed around with for 5 minutes at the start of every run. I sold it and wasn't sentimental about it in the slightest at the time as functionally those boards were junk but I regret it now. Bought the 1710 Blade which was way better, and I really regret selling that one to finance the Gnu. But money was tight at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softbootsurfer Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 well...Jack and Dave have Beautiful displays!! The Wall of favorite Sticks came down when we sold our home a couple years back, I consider Old Sticks, are really Talismans, all those Turns stored inside, along with all those Smiles....I still have some of the originals up above our garage in the new home, but the Wall was it for many years 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad and I t-nutted the weak inserts. Created a space between the top sheet and base by digging out the foam core, filled the whole space with epoxy to distribute the loads over a larger area. 2 hours ago, lowrider said: You responsible for the tail light on the Buick I was wondering that myself. I do not recall. That was a great vehicle! 1970 Buick Estate wagon, seating for 9, great in the snow, had a 455cubic inch motor that never left you wanting for power. Not so quick off the line but 60-120mph happened pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcar Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Unfortunately my Kemper Apex 160 Asym wouldn’t fit on this wall! I still have a few more to hang in my Board/Re-loading room! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 the quiver evolved since this pic, but most of them are still here collecting dust 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Out of all the older vintage boards, my favorite is still the PJ series from 90’ that @Jack M posted with the zebra base. I had a PJ6 and loved it. Wish I still had that board. That is the one missing in my collection. @dredman you have a great collection of some classic Burtons 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 @dredmanthat room is a shrine and a prized collection. I don't think I've seen a more valuable grouping of 7 boards. The pic is sweet too. Great photos tell a story and that one really does with the old wagon behind you. @Neil Gendzwilllove the RaceRoom. Yeah the Elite 150 was a horrible board in anything but powder. I also never loved the graphics I got. But... she was my first! Full disclosure, I sold my Safari to fund the PJ. The Safari on my wall now belonged to my late best friend and first riding buddy. So that's nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) John Gilmour says it's likely from the batch after the first run of 3...maybe #4 or 5. It's all there and tight!

I had most of my actual race MFR’s made at Prior. The Burners were made in the Elan factory. My custom burner race boards were made there at Elan as well. Early Predecessor to SG’s.
