Michael_A Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 This Generics 159 of unkown vintage would be a great for loaner, starter, or beater board. Decent base, edges. Blax bindings OK serviceable as well. I bought these as part of a package deal and after using once am riding my plates on my freeride board (until I get better) and am looking to buy something a little bigger and wider. Board originally bought from fellow Bomber forum member. Length 159, Edge 146, Width 19.7, Sidecut 9.3 Email me at michaela AT puritanpress DOT com if photos don't show up -- I am doubtful that this upload is working...

dragonrider Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 do you think this board is good for some one learning how to carve the first time, taking lesson first time on carving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_A Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi, This board is sold, thanks. Now that I have 10 days on plates, I would recommend starting like I did -- learn how to carve on a soft setup, then put plates and hardboots on your freeride board, then get an alpine board.

skipuppy Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Or you could learn the more difficult way: buy a board, get some people to set up the bindings, and then find out four years later that they reversed the cants and it actually isn't supposed to feel like you are going to pop out your hip. good luck with learning!!!! and don't do it allone- or you could waste four years or you could just be smarter than me!

Guest kennyusmc Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 dragonrider ..what area do you live in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipuppy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hey kiddo, If you haven't already, check out the www.tahoecarvers.com forums. There are two threads open for Kirkwood next week. While at Squaw also check out the 5/12 radio channel because thats what the tahoe guys use in the area so maybe you'll be able to hook up with some other people. If you can make it down to Kirkwood (its a bit far from Squaw) that week it would be awesome- it looks like we might have eight people or so next Wednesday and Thursday. HAVE FUN AT YOUR LESSON AND DON'T GET HURT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
