eastcoasticerider Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Theres a lot of Burton Amp 160,s going though Ebay from a resort of store out west.....I always liekd the design of the Amp as a crossover board from freeride to carving and got quite a few people started on the Amp that had trouble with the very wide in comparison freeride /freestyle boards......I always thought that neat oldschool design was easier to learn on and a lot more fluid ride......... I think a pair of catek Freerides and an old Amp is perfect fro east coast may be westy too.....How about an Amp style board custom made at Prior,s and a set of Catek Freerides maybe even with a third strap???? The ideal geezer setup........ I went to MountainView in edinboro pa. and the T-bar nearly killed me!!!! you have to really be in shape to ride that thing...yikes.......

Derf Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Sorry, I always forget, being bilingual. The board in the store is a 1996 model, it is more of a yellow than an orange, but it is the same graphics. Like I say on my webpage, it looks like it has been mounted, but they say it is new.
