Trust me, Dennis is no fool. He knows exactly what he is doing.
He owns/controls what is likely the largest archive of oldsnowboards in the world. I would guess it is a selling method that works for him.

Hi Todd, click on "Other items" for his auctions. My guess is he is simply clearing some duplicates to redistribute his capital. He is a business man that knows his product better than any other.

[~tb]

I just click through his other auctions. . . if this is what he has listed. . . he has a darn impressive collection.

I will get pictures up today or tomorrow for you.

Yes, those posted on Ebay are just the tip of the iceberg. Collection is beyond huge.

[~tb]

Here you go!

Please e-mail me if you want me to send you the full size pictures.

Top sheet pictures. Unfortunately the owner defaced the top with their name. . . unless S. Harding is someone famous!!!!

[~tb]

The base looks like it is either dirty. . . or someone used a black or carbon wax.

Would this make a good board for a beginner?

come on, somebody had to ask it!

Probably not. . . but I am sure it would make a great "plate system."

Specifications please!

How many days on it?

Would it be appropriate for me at 5'-2" and 350lbs? I am an agressive rider that likes to go fast.

Give me a couple minutes. . . .I will have to bust out the sextant to calculate the Sidecut radius on this one

Is it Metal?

Would it make a good starter board for an ex olympian that raised a family of 12 kids and now wants to return to carving?

[www.oldsnowboards.com]

Fact is , this would make a good soft boot carver for someone with some beans!!

Let's "Plate It" and kick some ass!!!


oh, oh, just had a flash!!

We (I) take a modern alpine board cut it into a plate mount it on the Safari. Get it. Old is new? Circular thinkers don't overload on this one ok?

Damn, talk about jacking the heck out of TBs for sale thread:smashfrea


Todd, I might buy it if you would get an avatar that doesn't make it look like you are closer to the ground than mine?

Quite enjoying the threadjack. . . but I don't know if a picture exists of me riding further away from the snow then you bryan. . . Ill have to start looking.

I think it would be easy to put a plate ONTOP of this board. Look at all the inserts on the edges!!! Lets cut up one of those tinklers and bolt it on man! Everyone claims these plates are magical. This would be proof of that!

Is it metal?

Hey Scott, bud out, I asked first :eplus2: :biggthump

[nekdut]

Is it metal?

The inserts and edges are! :D

[~tb]

Is it metal?

Actually. . . It is metal!

If you look, there is a metal plate in this board just under the topsheet starting just infront of the font inserts and extending to just behind the rear inserts. This board was so far ahead of its time. . . .Im going to have to raise my asking price now that I know that it was one of the first metal boards!

This board came out the year I went to Sims so I never had one...how much do you want for it and does it come with those plates or the old burton bindings?

Thanks

[John Gilmour]

I want to ride it as my everyday plank.

How much...

I am going on a backwards journey of technology...
'you guys are looking for the latest and greatest... I'm looking for yesterdays dried out turd- and from one dusty old turd- I'll look for the next dustiest from the previous year.. repeat repeat... until I'm riding what I started on... A Sims FE Pro 150 with no highbacks.

[OBie]

im interested, what is your price?

[www.oldsnowboards.com]

It has retired to a comfortable life at the House of oldsnowboards were it can hang with the other oldsnowboards and brag about how fast it was and how many glorious days it was ridden.

John, you all healed up? Cool.

You would likely just break this brittle old plank. Tinkler did template one and build a "Big Board" board for an East Coast ex pro a while back. It was his soft boot board, I don't know how that turned out.
