Chris Yeah, the day you posted that was the day after I already ordered the 162 Element from backcountry.com. I paid about $335 for the board, but if I can get it for $240 or less since it is not the top model like the A-Frame, maybe they will chargeback the difference like how bestbuy or Circuit City does within 30 days of the purchase. : ) - this way that amount may pay for my bindings. Was it an online flyer? pdf? Also, was the Arbor element model on the flyer as well as the A frame? Please advise Thanks again "Christopher Cox" wrote in message .. .

How do you know the board will go on sale for that amount? : ) Are you sure it will? Regards. W "Christopher Cox" wrote in message ... Howlee wrote: This group has always given good information. So here is another question. http://rdcshop.com/index.php/Arbor/0.../item_id/13532 the Arbor A frame. the 162. What do you think? I am 6'2". 165lbs. mostly freeriding, hitting only jumps that the terrain provides. Intermediate level- (Can ski all blues and most blacks. ) I can buy this board brand new for about 400. your thoughts are appreciated. Element - more park oriented, but a good all around board. A-Frame - pretty, stiff, way stiff from what I have seen. The bamboo is in Mystic and Stance. The Mystic has been getting rave reviews and is in demand, around here anyways. Lots of flex. The A-frame should be for sale at Backcountry.com for about $240 this weekend. If I had not picked up a new board, it is probably the one I was going to purchase. Regards, Chris Hello Howlee, I received a fly'er in the mail with the special in it. I assumed you would have to call to get the price, because I never saw the promised price on the web. I had been looking at the A-frame for a while, and my family instantly made me aware of the special. But I had already (that day) picked up a Palmer Crown, so I trashed the fly'er. Hope you are able to pick up the board for a great price! Regards, Chris Hey Howlee, I called Backcountry.com and asked about the A-frame. They said "Yeah, it was a great deal. Sold everyone of them the day the flier hit". Oh well. On the plus side, you did O.k. on the Element. You will probably find the Element a little more general purpose the the A-frame anyways. Later, Chris |
