Kurt, very cool!!

I see very few shots of riders on Slickers!!

Only 300 were ever made. One season, three lengths, made in California by
skate legend Steve Cathey.

Can you send me a high res version of you riding a Slicker. I would like to use it in oldsnowboards when I get it going again.

Very cool!!

I'll work on it Bry. My tech is pretty low in that dept...

I'll see what I can strum up.

Take it easy.

Yes my K-Way is tucked into my bib pants, yes I'm wearing Vuarnets!!!.

I'll see your K-Way and Vuarnets, and raise you earmuffs... Haa! Haa! Ha!

1983, Gaspe Peninsula, Burton Powdergun.


I never got to see a Slicker back then. Only saw them in mags. Do you still have it?

[big canuck]

Sweet shot dude!!!

No I sold the thing unfortunatley.... I saw one on Ebay a year or two ago and it went for $2500.00 or something crazy. I would have spent a grand on it.

And I thought original Madds were expensive!!!!!

1986, Switzerland. Very, very few snowboards around, I guess a lot fewer than in the US at that time. I had this 'Snowfish', the idea was you could use it as a waterski in summer and as a snowboard in winter. Downside was it didn't have steel edges so you could only use it off piste. But it did work ok in powder if you managed to keep your feet in the rubber strap bindings. The other pic is me in exactly the same spot but 25 years later, time flies

I like the pair of shots. I remember those funny boards without edges... at the time I was mostly on piste so I could not see how I could even get to the off-piste without edges, hence I waited a couple more years.

New meets old-this is my 10 year old daughter- Maja with 20 years old Burton M6.
It is extremely pleased....

I wonder if the building behind you survived without repair

Do you still have your "Powdergun" ??

Road one at SES a few years back.

[Futahaguro]

My quiver. Note the Burton that I believe is the same one as RJ @ Milk in the above photo. I thought mine was a 1989 though. The 2nd and 3rd pictures can be bigger but the forum auto-resizes them.

Yes, still have it. It's a wall hanger now.

Love that board!!! I have always enjoyed longboards. This is one of the earliest.

Love that board!!! I have always enjoyed longboards. This is one of the earliest.

I made my first carves on groomed snow on that board. I sewed some velcro on the heel straps to keep them from becoming loose and a leather loop at the top of the backside of my "Sorel like" boots. Passed the heel straps through those loops and that gave me enough heelside support to carve on soft groomed snow.

Biggest error I made was going from the Powdergun to the Performer Elite 150 (square tail, red two-piece bindings). That board couldn't even turn well in powder... Haa! Ha! Ha!
