LeeW Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Definitily a Rossi, but dont know which model. For sure, with that bumper thing ont he nose, it makes it look like a rental snowboard (its what timberline uses for rental -- Rossi with those exact bumpers on both ends of the board).

bobdea Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 they made a board called the spike or something like that back in the day, that looked somewhat like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 This is fun, no thats not a spike.. this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 says rossi on it pretty clearly...didnt they make a board called a rooster? (you can see the logo)if its long enough it looks like itd be fun! Good one. The rooster is the symbol for the French (not the frog...). Hence the rooster on Rossignol, a french company.

timinor Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Seems like the rooster was the logo for "Equipe de France" which meant it was equipment that sponsored the French ski team. Way back when the rooster was also on other French ski brands like Dynamic, Dynastar and Lacroix as well as gloves and boots...or am I dreaming this up?

AaronG Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Timminor, no you weren't dreaming the the rooster was on many french skis. In the ski shop that I worked in we carried Rossignol, Dynamic and Dynastar, they all had a rooster on them. The dynastar chicken was of different design than the dynamic chicken and the rossi chicken was a different design from the other two. Looking at that board though I can tell you that is a Rossi Chicken, I can't tell you what board it is though, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just to clarify, the rooster (le coq) is the french symbol for the French people. You will see it in most things french. Many times it represents the pride of being French. For a detailed history, here is one link: http://www.insecula.com/article/F0010612.html As for a short translation of the first line: "Gallus" in Latin means both "Gaulois" (ie the original French, cf the cartoon character Asterix and Obelix), and "rooster" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 couldn't find a pic of my Prowler though. Same topsheet design as the Slayer pictured, but it was black and red and had a rounded tail. I've seen a board like the one your asking about Bobby, but it was yellow....it's on the tip of my tongue.... Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just found another website with the same board pictured as you have at the top of this thread listed as a Prowler. Here's a pic like the one I had..... Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 If any one would find it you would. Yes its a Prowler and the yellow one was the Slayer. Did you ever ride the prowler? What type of board would you call it? I thought it was FAST back in 99 Did you get your sweat shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Bobby, I rode the Prowler for one season and loved it. It was what I started out on when I decided I wanted to transition to hardbooting. It was a fun all mountain board, but pretty soft by todays standards. I still wish I had one though and search regularly for them on ebay. There was a ton of them at one time and you could pick one up brand new for $99.00! The flex was pretty soft and I wouldn't recommend one for hardboots. I rode mine with K2 clickers and Yak boots, the kind with the built-in hard back. The hoodie arrived last week and it is AWESOME!!! You weren't kidding about the quality, first rate! I'll be sportin' it this season when the weather allows and it's my new "anytime I leave the house and the wife can't tell me what to wear" favorite. Thanks for the brain teaser "name this board" thread too, I had fun! Have fun, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alxdim Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 The Rooster is the French emblem as the Bald Eagle is for the U.S. Funny french quote: 'The rooster is the only animal still cable to sing with both feet in ****'.

Bobby Buggs Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I rode mine with 121s at 45/35 back in my power skidding days. Yes it is a soft flex but when I got it it was the fastest board I had The year it came out is was in the alpine section of the rossi boards. Prowler, Slayer and World cup. I am going to put my cousin on the Yellow slayer. Enjoy the Hoodie and wear it proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
