"David" wrote What boards do you have? For the ones you still ride, what do you use 'em for? Boards: '02 Palmer Carbon Circle 158 - too short, awating to be given to friends or sold '01 Ride Timeless 158 - too short, awating to be given to friends or sold '03 Nitro Shadow 160 - RIP as of last week '03 Palmer Channel Titanium 164 - will be sold or given to friends shortly '03 Burton Fish 156HD - never had bindings mounted on it Basically, I don't have a good board to ride as of now. Crap. Maybe just try using the Fish for all-around riding? Skis: '03 Atomic SX:9 170 - lots of repaired rock damage, needs base grind '03 Nordica Beast 177 |

Especially because it seems to be your favorite board. '03 Palmer Channel Titanium 164 - will be sold or given to friends shortly I gotta make more friends on this group! The 156 is OK, but the two 158s are too short? I guess there are lots of factors, but I don't know anything about those boards and I'm curious. Oh, and what's wrong with the 164? |

"David" wrote '03 Nitro Shadow 160 - RIP as of last week Too bad about that one. Especially because it seems to be your favorite board. Well, every disaster holds an opportunity in it '03 Palmer Channel Titanium 164 - will be sold or given to friends shortly I gotta make more friends on this group! The 156 is OK, but the two 158s are too short? I guess there are lots of factors, but I don't know anything about those boards and I'm curious. Fish is a strange animal. It has a very pronounced tapered shape, and if you compare the binding setback and shape of the Fish with a more traditional board, you'll see that there's a big piece missing in the tail section of the Fish. So if you add an imaginary tail a 156 Fish suddenly becomes a 160+ (more like a 162 or 64) board. Oh, and what's wrong with the 164? Way too much board for me. Too stiff, too big sidecut, too heavy, etc. |

Are you thinking of the Brushie "fish" board from like '93 with the fish skeleton on the base? Anyway, in my collection: '93 Burton Terje 152? (signed by Terje) '93 Burton Kelly Slopestyle 164 (RIP) '93 Burton Twin Tip (Ouija Board) '95 F2 Spinner 149 (propeller on base) '97 Brushie 153 (Craps Table) (Lost off open roof rack at Killington) '98 Sims 154 Japanese Import (de-laminated GARBAGE) '00 Burton Dragon 156 (cracking after too many nose manuals) '03 Burton Code 160 I ride pipe and park mostly and the Code works great there. Everything else is retired or faulty. |
