<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dude, post: 4410770, member: 13170&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Going through some old emails and didn&#039;t realize Dave Billinghurst of Retro Snow was kind enough to get back to me about the boards. Here&#039;s his reply below:</p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><b>Dave Billinghurst &lt;<a href="mailto:daveb@puredesigngroup.com">daveb@puredesigngroup.com</a>&gt;</b></font></p><p>Dec 31, 2021, 7:37 PM</p><p><img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>These boards are cool but not super collectible.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a</p><p><br /></p><p>MORROW APLINE RACE BOARD.&nbsp; This is a cool board, I think 1992 or 93 is the year.&nbsp; Made in Salem Oregon. Rob Morrow was a pro rider and his family was rich and he started the brand named after himself.&nbsp; They later sold to k2 and it became a big box brand and is dead now but back in 1992 they were big. Great company, made their own board in Salem in their own factory.&nbsp; Race boards are not that desirable but there are some guys that collect them.</p><p><br /></p><p>BURTON Air</p><p>This was burtons price point entry level board and the 64 for 164cm was the 2nd biggest board.&nbsp; This is also I think a 1993 or 94. Can’t remember for sure.&nbsp; The boards a couple years before this one were a bit more desirable for collectors but someone that might be looking to collect the entire air series from that year might be looking for this one as it wasn’t the most popular size and is harder to find. Burton is biggest brand in snowboarding and was started by Jake Burton the founder of the brand and one of the sports original companies next to tom sims from sims snowboards.&nbsp; Jake was based in Vermont and sims on in cali.&nbsp; Tom sims was a surfer and super popular skateboarder when he started sims and Jake was a Vermont guy from ny that had more of an east coast vibe and he was more of a business man and took Burton to the top of the industry.&nbsp; Both tom and Jake died in the past couple of years.</p><p><br /></p><p>AVALANCHE</p><p>Not sure which model this is but its about the same as the others I think.&nbsp; Avalanche was a Utah based company and was big in the late 80s but by the 90s they were pretty much dead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
