I could be wrong but those dont look like freestyles. Unless they are an older model?

Bambi would have been a better and shorter movie if he was shot in the beginning with his mother
if a ride on lawn mower takes bumps better than your sled, its time to upgrade

It's a bit scuffed up, but I can't see any core, so it's nothing a little P-Tex at the board shop can't fix. I say go for it.

I don't know if this helps at all, but all the kids at my school have either Rome or Burton.

i like Santa Cruz. Burton i think is played out.
Doesn't Burton make Santa Cruz?
im pretty sure burton doesnt make santa cruz... but i believe they did have a board named that awhile ago... not 100% though. but im pretty sure santa cruz is their own company. the only company burton owns are anon, and a few others i cant think of off the top of my head, but those are clothing companies, not any other board companies.

My buddy sells this stuff and rides all the time, He says get a Rome, guess there really good.
yeah i would get a rome thats what i have there really nice
rome is a really nice board, when i get a new board im getting a rome (possibly, depends whats out there when i buy it). but he wants a board for 100 dollars, and i dobnt think your gonna find a rome board for that.
i got mine for 175 used but its in new condition

they actually are from 2005, i had a pair like that also, they are fairly cheap made, i still have mine if you ever need parts for yours. ive had a few new pairs since then so i wouldnt mind shipping them over for spare parts. Quote originally posted by 87srvsnow

thats actually in ALOT better shape then mine haha. like said earlier, as long as no core is snowing you'll be fine.

thanks ill keep that in mind. but i will probably end up getting new ones this October. there are huge sales. what is core? the center stuff of the board?

yes, the core of the board, most are made of wood, yet some new burtons have this crazy honeycomb core, makes it so much lighter and really durable, but your talking some $$$CHANGE$$$ for those boards. like the Burton Vapor... i think its like close to 900 MSRP, but the lightest board on the market. im looking into taking one of my old snowboards and turning it into a split board, for the back country i do when i go out west. its a riot and makes the trek up the hill so much better.
