i use to dream at night about riding this board...

Its one of the best boards of the mid 90's, so appart from the fact its an asymetrical ( hope u have the one for your stance ( regular or goofy)) and will need some adjustment, its an incredible board, and not bad for EC.. cannot remember the width...?

Try yourself at it !

i didnt now something about asy boards. i think it is right for my stance. i am driving regular and the longer part of the tail is on the backside.

i can imagin that this is right, because this is my weak point on the backside turn. i am pusching the tail harder then the nose on the backside because it beginns easyer to slip away than on thje frontside.

Hi Bowen,

according to this picture of an old Beamer version you can see that the long edge (fronside) is on the toe side of the boot/binding thus the short edge is on the heel boot/binding (backside).

This is the only picture i could find on the web.

Hi Bowen!

Don't panic. As I see it, the bindings on the linked picture are set incorrectly. They are set for a rider with goofy stance and the board is made for rider with regular stance. On asy board you can only ride if you have the same stance the board is made for, otherwise the result is not at all what it should be. I used to have two asy boards so I can tell. I liked it and the last one I had, 95' Burton Factory prime is still in use by one of my friends and is still a good ride, although the edges are nearly gone.

However, you probably know whether you are goofy or regular and besides, you can find tests to find that out on the net. Now all you have to do is comare your board with the one on the picture. On the picture it is made for regular. If you are regular, you should try it. You'll probably like it.

And for god's sake, don't attach the bindings on the board the way you see it on the picture!
