My first board was a ’90 Burton Free5 that my parents bought for me for Christmas in 1989. I rode it for a couple of years and my second board was a ’94 Burton CK Slopestyle in the fall of ’93. I’m pretty sure I have those years right, it was the one with black on black graphics. I still have both of those boards. After that it was a string of boards from a local Burlington, WA company called Hauser and then a Burton Custom, a handful of Division 23s, a bunch of boards from Sims, then Options (still my favorite boards), and lately it’s been all Libs. I still have some of my old boards, I’ll never let go of the CK or my first snowboard. I really need to get them up on the wall.

November 16, 2013 at 8:31 pm #672180 HansGLudwig 601 PostsI’m always amazed at how far set back the bindings are in those early boards. It’s like the front foot is on the center of gravity/pivot point or something. They must have ridden pow with the brakes on all the time. I imagine constantly leaning forward to go fast and getting leg burn in the front.Be sure to bookmark Splitboard.com's Recent Activity page... http://splitboard.com/activity-2/ November 17, 2013 at 5:13 pm #672181 C balke 74 PostsMy first board was this Nitro Pyro I wanna say it was a 93’/94′. I have not rode the board since I put it away but want to ride it for the hell of it. Crazy to think I rode with the heels hanging over like that.
