For sale is a brand new in plastic wrap YES OPTIMISTIC 157. This is a 2019 model, but brand new. I got it thinking I'd ride it when my other Optimistic 157 got too beat up. But decided to got up a size to the 161 last year. Asking $420. Includes shipping to the lower 48.

It's time for a new board: I'm currently riding a Salomon Ivy from 2002. Yes, 2002. I did say that I hate to shop. Personally, I'd say I have advanced intermediate skills because I have some absolutely fabulous spills. Talk to other folks and they say I'm advanced. I'm 47. 5'6". 155#...

enjoy! :D

Hey, as the title suggests im looking for a good board to handle moguls and trees. I currently use a Ride Machete which I love, but I am always looking to upgrade. Moguls and trees are really all I do. I tried a GNU Pickle earlier this past season and hated it. I felt that the Magnetraction...
