MADD 158 Freeride Texalium prototype.

Very similar to the 159 in the MADD specs:

Radius 8.5
Waist 25.8
setback 2.5

I will get some better measurements later. I just want to get it going.

I am looking for $250 shipped.

It has a few flaws that I will explain as interest arises.

Thanks for looking.

Okay, you have me curious. Do you think this could handle hardboots?

OK, Lets try this again. I forgot to post it after preview.....:AR15firin

Here are some pictures and explanations of the flaws.

This is a dimple. It is kind of an optical illusion, but you can feel it a little.

The nose has a slight bow to it. This is my straight edge going all the way across the nose, you can see a slight gap.

Here is the base of the nose, as you can see it has been ground pretty much flat. The base material does not appear to be excessively thin.

One other thing is the edges tend to have a slight gap where they meet on the board. This is kind of a MADD thing, my BX had this as well.

None of these flaws effect performance. I just wanted everyone to know what I mean when I say it is a prototype.

This is a really neat little board. I go about 220 in gear and it did not have any problem putting up with me riding it pretty hard. It rides great with hard boots, but does have a rather short radius side cut, so it is good for busy days. The only reason I am selling it is I got a Tanker 187, and it appears to be THE board for me.

One more thing. It has only been ground once and it is a PTC tune, (1 base 3 sides). It does need to be tuned again, the edges are a little dinged up.
