It sounds like this is the type of board i am definately looking for. i have a need for speed but can't spend a whole lot of money since its my first alpine board. if there's any way i can see some pics that would be great and most likely we can negotiate a reasonable price. thanks for the reply.

I have a 173 burton factory prime available. Used part time for a few seasons but in great shape. All edges have lots of material and the base have a couple scratches that would come out with a grind and no dings or repairs.
The base is the black sintered race base.

It is the same specs as this one on ebay but is red.

Running Length 1530mm
Sidecut Depth 22mm
Nose length 150mm
Tail length 50mm
Waist width 200mm
Sidecut Radius 13.31m


I also have burton race plate bindings.

Good luck this season.

I am the one who has posted the volkl for sale. I will tell you this. This board is fast, I have ridden a lot, and I mean a lot of boards and there is a reason that the speed record was set on a volkl. If I raced I would keep this board, but it is a gs race board and it loves to run. I only rode the board for three hours and when I let it run it would run scary fast. I would even tell you if you don't by mine, you should still get this board.

I would love to see some pics of this board and a possible price you're looking for. as for me, i can't spend very much since its so close to christmas and i'm a new rider but looking to race. thank you very much and you can email me back at kormansk@clarkson.edu. very interested in this ride.

My friend has a 173 Nidecker Tornado (same as GS model) for $150. This board is in great shape. It was once mine so email me for a pic if you are interested.

I would really like to see some pics of the Nidecker Tornado GS model. Very interested buyer for the price but i would like to see some specific specs and details of the board. also, any dings or scratches i would like to see. thank you and you can email the pics to kormansk@clarkson.edu and hopefully we can figure something out

It has been ridden twice after a race tune and it very clean.

Sent pic with my old Rossi on the left.

Board looks to be in pretty good shape. The price of $150 sounds pretty fair but if you were willing to come down a little bit since i still have to purchase plates and boots elsewhere and pay shipping fees that would be awesome. of all the boards i've seen i think i'm ready to purchase yours. before we settle the agreement tho can we have an online chat re: the specific details and specs of the board because i'm relatively new to the alpine riding sport. my aim sn is shaggydaddy19 or you can drop me another email re: specs, details etc. and hopefully finalize the transaction. mainly i'm just concerned about how it will handle at high speeds, through rough and choppy terrain, and over icy patches. thanks.

Cool, I neglected to mention that the owner is in S. Baja for a week or two. You missed him by a day. I hope you are not in a hurry. I can give you all of the specs for now.

[SKKor19]

that's fine. i'm going to be gone today to whiteface and gore mountain for a couple days and won't be back until xmas eve. i guess if you could just send all the specs and what type of rider this board is particularly for that would be great. i also noticed that the board is in CA and i looked up shipping fees which would be pretty high. would your friend be willing to take 100$ for the board? email me what you can and hopefully we can square away the deal when ur friend gets back. thanks again.

Just found out that the Tornado owner plans to be back 1/8 from Baja. He doesn't know about the potential sale, but does intend to sell the board.
