Would you be interested in a trade by any chance? I have the Axis 182 and it's a bit too long.

[Thor VonRippington]

Not looking to trade.. making room for new arrivals.

[BKStrout]

Very interested, pics would be great. Feel free to email: BKStrout at yahoo dot com.

[Thor VonRippington]

It has a few personal touches.. tats.. pimpings.. that could easily be removed. The base and edges are in excellent condition. No repairs or other surprises.

Built for somebody how heavy? How would you compare it to a 4WD?

[Buell]

Hey Scott,

I sold a 172 Axis at the same time you picked up my 4WD. The Axis is a stiffer board than the 4WD. I find it less forgiving, but it will hold a better edge on the groom at higher speeds.

You can do a search for 'Axis 4WD' and likely find a bunch of opinions on the comparison.

Here are a few (I really should be going to bed):

Axis v 4WD 1 (http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=9119)

Axis v 4WD 2 (http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=11500)

Axis v 4WD 3 (http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=4456)

Axis v 4WD 4 (http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=13522)


It is a slow time in the used board market when a 172 Axis doesn't sell at this price.

[I_LOVETT]

Been Riding An Axis 177 for 2 1/2 years weigh 210 lbs and have only demo'ed the Prior. I found the Prior to be more lively but not as stable while carving, and a little quicker in the tighest of trees. I agree with this statement made by Sean at Donek: "I think the major difference between the Axis and 4X4 is how we weighted the powder vs carving performance. When I designed the Axis, I build a board that could go anywhere, but I looked at the frequency I felt many riders would see hard pack vs powder. I felt that the hardpack won out in most cases. As a result the Axis was designed to be a carving board that can do trees. I think the 4X4 is more of a powder/tree board for carvers. Chris might say it a bit differently, but the flex on the 4X4 is a bit softer than the Axis." Hope this helps and Thor is a great person to work with, looking foward to seeing you on the hill Buell, Kipp

Hmm... the check I've been waiting for arrived today.

/kicks tires, gazes longingly

[Thor VonRippington]

I had someone ready to buy but considered me risky because I don't do paypal. :freak3:

I would be more than happy to send the board first and collect payment later, but I don't think this person has ever posted to BOL.

I guess my question is... how is someone with paypal less risky? Either way the seller gets the money and then sends the goods.

[Blue Bird]

TVR is solid, send him the money if you want the board. You will get it in better condition than you expect

[cfj04]

Someone was concerned because Thor doesn't accept paypal - that's funny. TVR is as top notch as they come. I have witnessed the manner with which he maintains his boards. If anything, he is too modest as to the quality/condition of what he sells.

As for character (aside from the fact that he is one :lol: ), you can't go wrong dealing with him.

[Allee]

I can't believe that someone hasn't snaffled this already. The best all rounder in the Axxess family and in mint shape to boot for $350? If I hadn't spent all my money buying a car, I'D buy this to keep the 167 company.

[Derf]

+1 on reliability for Thor

[Hugh]

:biggthump 10+ I bought a sweet board this summer from Thor, great guy!

I had someone ready to buy but considered me risky because I don't do paypal. :freak3:

TVR - if it would help, I will "buy" the board from you and "sell" it to the interested party for the selling price plus PayPal charges. If you and the "buyer" are interested, you could bring the board to Loveland on Sunday. Let me know.

[tcody]

Hi- Is the board still available Thor? Willing to try to work out a deal beyond paypal.

[Thor VonRippington]

bump... still for sale

[John Bell]

Thanks.

BTW, I wouldn't take PayPal either; don't they take like 2% or something?

I'm intrigued but unsure as to whether that length is too much for me, a newbie, on East Coast ice-rink narrow runs. What say the Greek chorus?

John

[John Bell]

Don't know how I overlooked that.

[Thor VonRippington]

John... email me here: ssegress@earthlink.net

Mighty tempting Stan. Only problem is I'm dumping over a grand, not including lost wages, on SES. AND, I bought a Burner that I haven't even ridden yet! I might be better off if I hid my boards under the house instead of DISPLAYING them in the garage where Gretchen sees them every day.

[SEJ]

Damn it Stan! I've got to stop doing this. SOLD. Half the reason I'm buying it is because it's coming from you. I know there will be no issue with the shape it's in, or the deal. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! Maybe I can paint it to look like the speedster I selling and nobody will be wiser. I assume personal check is still OK?

[voysey]

I have a Madd that i compressed the edge on so looking for a new ride. If you change your mind. I will buy this board

[SEJ]

WHEW! That was close.

[Thor VonRippington]

The board is SOLD... Thanks!
