You are soooooo uncool.
I'm the only one that saw it and I have to have it.
Super rare.
Did you even notice that is SIGNED by Peter and Jean!!?
$1000 is a steal-
$200 less than that silly clown board with the brass inserts that shaggy just dumped.

The reasons for the snowboarding industry's move away from asymetrical shapes are speculative, however it is most likely due to the fact that regular or goofy specific snowboards were costly to produce and difficult to stock. One conspiracy theory asserts that Burton colluded with Rossignol (who never figured out how to make an asymetrical snowboard because they are French) to kill off asymetrical snowboards in order streamline and cheapen production, so that it could be outsourced to less skilled laborers in Kazakhstan, the Dominican Republic, and Cleveland. They did this by many means, including spreading negative press about asymetrical technology and the corresponding riding technique through the then-blossoming online snowboarding media. Since Burton held an effective lock on the racing snowboard market and on the international World Cup podium, they had the leverage to incite a trend towards ultra-narrow alpine snowboards. It is precisely at that time that the alpine snowboards began a diet. Their width decreased (untill 16 cm to the waist width for some of them) for a supposed reduced egde to edge transition time. Because of this, the feet angulation had to be increased (60 degrees and more), imposing a uncomfortable position which reduces significantly the rider's mobility on his board. Furthermore, this small width lowers the stability at slow speeds. In fact, these new alpine snowboards were in most ways superior to the older asym shapes for pure carving and racing ability. However since only the strongest and best carvers and racers were able to realize their benefit, alpine snowboarding began a natural selection process that ultimately sidelined the discipline into obscurity. Today, the world of alpine snowboarding exists only on internet discussion forums, and in the ego-maniacle minds of racers who are above participating in them. Some alpine-specific snowboard companies today produce snowboards that attempt to replicate the performance of the wider asym shapes, but they cannot afford to produce regular/goofy specific models because as stated above it is costly, and because they are afraid the intelligencia of pro-symetrical alpine snowboarders would gang up on whoever bought one and tell them they were having fun incorrectly.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lots of mileage out of one hoax :eplus2:

The most I have seen a PJ sell for was a very rare version , new old stock, sold to a Japanese buyer 4 years ago for around 500$. Most sell for approx 50-125$
