Burton Brushie - Snowboarding Forum

fix it or leave it...

So Ive got an old 1995 Burton Brushi Cruzin 153 (Artefact x2007.323.1:**Snowboard - Canadian Ski Museum) considering the history of the board, and the fact that it is missing a 14in. segment of edge along the nose, should I fix it? or leave it

probably just leave. why not get a new board. the lowerend burton boards are prolly better then that.

anyone else have an opinion on the matter? I know this is kind of a collectors item in a way, and before I start hacking chunks out of the base I want to know some other peoples opinions, maybe a moderator, or someone who remembers when this board was released??

Your basically asking will it ruin the value of the board to fix it like an old piece of furniture.

I would email that place you found it and ask them, they will know a lot more about collectors items then people here probably.

Can you post a pic of the damage? I would think fixing it flawlessly would not affect the value but doing anything obvious to change it would.

Ive owned it for a few years, but it has not been in my possession for a while, I bought it off an old high school friends buddy. the edges are just about solid rust and there is a 14 in segment or so missing and another 3 in missing. Ill try to post pictures tomorrow.
