+1 on the detuning tips - especially on the front end of a race board. You don't want that end catching quicker than the rest of the board!

I still have an original Wooden Sims Switchblade. Yes...WOOD!

My first board was a Burton Free 6. That's when they went with a foam core. Kinda handled like a 70's Cadillac with worn shocks!
I still have my old Burton PJ 6 raceboard. My buddies gave it to me as a gift the day I finally got my cast off my leg. Broke my leg in a snowboarding mishap. The next season, I strapped that race board on, and never looked back!
Also have a Burton Asym Air 6.2.
Sadly, I haven't had a chance to go boarding for a couple of years, and I didn't know that the older boards are holding their own against the new stuff. Good to know.
