How old am I?

[GHarrison]

I currently only own one snowboard, a 173 Burton Factory Prime. What can I say? I like going fast and am a Uni student on a budget. I'm not sure what year it, perhaps someone can let me know? More for curiosity's sake sake than anything. Here is a Picture of the topsheet.

I think it's 2001.

I don't have that year's catalog, but I suspect 2001 Factory Prime. 2002 only had the speed and I think it's with the blood splatter and 2003 is black with some colored wood or something like that.:confused:

Isn't that the design that came out after the first batch of FP's - the ones that were two shades of dark grey with a pill/mesh pattern on top and red bases with metallic "burton" logos across them?

I seem to remember a design with a solid black topsheet coming immediately after the first FP batch - Which I'm guessing would have come out in 94/95' so my guess is considerably earlier I guess: 96 - 98?

I remember the first batch pretty clearly because I bought a PJ 6 the last year they produced PJ's and was green with envy looking at those sexy FP boards on the mountain, while I was riding my new yet outdated PJ 6.

Then again, I am really not that great with dates and my memory is dim at best when it comes to this sort of thing ...

I'm pretty sure it's a 2001. I have a (folded) 2001 Ultra Prime with a very similar topsheet graphic. Picture and reference near the bottom of the page at Scott's site http://www.alpinecarving.com/board_models.html
