Sounds interesting. My only concern would be the base. It might not be designed to hold wax. Have you tried waxing it yet?

 

i have not, the retailer seemed to know what she was selling and said that i need to wax it. not sure yet though. my buddy picked up a similar board that was used and had been waxed. his had a solid black base though and i believe it was a K2.

my base doesnt seem to be any different than my other boards, it just has clear plastic. my guess is it is clear so they can check for any cracking or delaminating. ill try to wax it tonight

 

Sounds cool. I rode on a ride kink for a little while a couple seasons back. It was a fun board.

Does it still have the slimewalls and whatnot? Can you post pictures? Sounds cool.

 

i am almost positive it has slimewalls, ill get some pics up tonight

 

 

Dunno what you got there, but it looks sick!! :thumbsup:

 

Yea =)
If it'd be board design, mani riders'd buy it. Definately a good buy, even you're not sure if it's a kink or not.

 

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have slimewalls. I don't see it. Unless they have pink slimewalls? It also looks like the pink part is on the inside rather than the outside like slimewalls (can't really tell).

Either way, that board looks really sick!

That board was probably a prototype so I'm sure there are differences between that and the production model. Weird, I'm almost positive that the person isn't supposed to be selling that board. I don't know if you want to get anyone in trouble (if Ride doesn't allow it), but it would be worth contacting Ride about this board. If anything, you bought a $150 piece of snowboard art. I personally think they should really make some snowboards like that. Looks soo sweet. Although I'm sure the stuff they put on the topsheet protects the board. That's another issue.

I'm pretty sure, Ride doesn't allow it. IHMO contact the Ride ain't a good idea. You can make problems to person, who sold the board, and even to yourself. just ride it and amaze all the people aroung with a top-secret board =) or put it on a wall as a modern art.

 

looks pretty sweet. good buy for $150 :thumbsup:

 

I vote to keeping and riding it. Rules are only meant for people who follow them

 

It looks cool, I'd keep it...

Otherwise, you could print your own topsheet graphic for it if you wanted.. nice and unique

 

Shit sir, if I were you I'd get rid of that thing right away, looks like problems on the way, if you'd like I'll take itt off your hands for $150.00!? Haha naw I kid the guy who just bought the sikk snowboard stolen from a secret snowboard lab somewhere in the Mojave desert, give Ride a shout, or make a phone call from a pay-phone haha.

 

Over the years, my daughter and I have gotten team and proto stuff, kinda of cool cause you know its only one manufactur's run or 1-off. Ride it, sell it, wall it...its part of the manufactur's swag stoke thing. There's tons of protos, demo, swag stuff from pro, teams and ect. Its known that pro, team and industry folks give away or sell the stuff they get from manufactures. There are insiders that buy last season's protos and demos to resale to the public...so the manufactures are removed from a direct retail relationship...to avoid warranty and liability issues.

 

That is definitely the ride kink. From 2009. Looks to me like it has all the same tech as the production kink had. It is funny that it has the pink slimewalls. lol. Here is what the production model looked like. This is the same board I rode. It is a really fun board.

This is what the house has to say about it:

Did someone say the base wouldn't hold wax? Really? Come on now remove your head from your ass.

 

How about you shut your mouth and kindly put up a review about the Nug you rode the other day

 

NUG will be mine next year after reading copious amounts of reviews....

 

i think it's a ride kink. i ride an older model myself and when i bought my older model i was looking up what year it was and came across even older ones that look just like this board. Looks like ride went back to the beginning with this board you got, sweet deal if you ask me.

ride kink snowboard with bindings and boots!

 

thanks for the comments guys, makes me feel better about dropping a bill and a half. it will definitely see snow this season.

after researching slimewalls, this board has them. edges are way more rubbery than my K2, almost like a thick eraser.

 

If it's Ride it's possible that's Kink. Very simply board, biax without any carbon waves, kevlar inlays etc. You can check the sizing, nose, tail, waist and compare it to "original". Sometimes prototypes are stronger than serial production boards

 

Yeah keep it! I have a board that was Kurt Wastell's prototype from the original Solid Snowboards back in the 90's. Jib board back before the term jib was used. Peterbolts and all.

Hell, I even take it out for urban sessions still!

 

Every company has test/demo/proto boards out there. Ride's always have the clear topsheet like that. You're fine, enjoy.

 

scratch and sniff deez nuts!

 

I love the stupidity of people on here. Way to get butt hurt you got called out you fuck. Rides done clear bases for a long time, you do a clear base on a proto so you can see if anything is breaking inside it. Fuck remove your head from your ass there chief if you don't know about it don't talk or speculate on it.

 

You're a very angry person. Why is that? Did a drunk uncle touch you down there once upon a time? Or more than once as the case may be? You should probably get help with that. Talk about your abuse, get it out of your system and maybe you'll find peace and happiness.

On the off chance that you weren't abused and you're just a complete dick by nature, you might want to just go ahead and kill yourself. If not for your own self improvement, do it for the sake of humanity. The world would be a better place. Thanks. And have a nice day

 

LOL you must be new to the forums. You got off with a light BA lashing
Regardless, out of anybody on these entire forums hes the one to listen too when it comes to prototype boards....

PS - Extra hint, his blog is called Angry Snowboarder for a reason.

 

everyone chill the fuck out.

im going to wax it, ride it for a few days early december, and post results

 

It will be awesome. Keep in mind it is designed to be a little soft, more of a park board. Very playful though.
