Thanks Evan, I have one similar at home.
Its colors are a little different.

Shall get a photo when I head off mountain next.

I love old skate & snowboards.

There was the 1990 Mystery Air.
Which was also a Craig Kelly Signature board from the year before.
Same graphics but different colours.

Welcome to Boardworld Tobi smile

Evan, this is the board I was talking about from Hakuba. This was Craig’s actual board.

Also took this photo of a snowboard from approximately 1985.

 

^^
those bindings look… umm… comfortable.

Rider26, yeah i think that top one is a 1992 Craig Kelly

I just checked and the bottom one is from 1984

As i mentioned before, this site has a great list of all the old boards up to todays models.

Sorry to all the others, we probably should have started a vintage board thread for all this smile

Thanks for the welcomes guys!

Can’t say I’m actually a local though Tambazz, although I seem to confuse the locals into thinking I’m one with the amount of time I spend up there.

Will drop into freezer on the weekend to say hi. smile

Hey Kids,
Might be one of the older posters on this forum grin

Am 34, having been riding for 15 years, have clocked up 300+ days of riding. Spent separate seasons in Whistler and Breckenridge and have totalled a couple of months of riding in Japan also (Niseko, Rusutsu, Nozawa Onsen).  Also a complete gear wh0re. Big advocate of “you get what you pay for” grin

Probably due to age, the park no longer interests me, however I am amazed at what these “young kids” can do nowadays. If there is no fresh snow for a few days, I tend to lose interest pretty quickly - its all about the powder for me smile

+1 and I love our riding and always aim to do at least 2 weeks a year. Last season was the first season we had not skied in Oz since 1995 and we can honestly say we do not miss it. Happy to bypass the Oz winters for other activities and save our $$ for overseas jaunts instead.

Heading to Heavenly for 2 weeks in January ‘10 so fingers crossed they get a few 3 foot dumps whilst we are there!

A favourite pic of mine is below - Niseko 2004 coming down from the peak…...thanks to whoever snapped this pic of me grin

Hey kort, welcome to Boardword! Good to see another familiar name join the community. There are quite a few members around your age (and older) on the forums. I have also done seasons in Whistler and Breckenridge. It’s great to see you are so stoked on riding, you will fit in perfectly here. Awesome shot by the way… love the spray!
