[frogbone]

Ralston is still out there. Like sabbath said there should be some skates out this month.  I would loan you mine until then but, shipping back and for to CA costs $$.

Thanks for the offer    buy  i got   today free Burton  board  its  a junk  but it s the same board with what i started  snowdecking  , here in timmins we dont have snow  yet  but   hill will be open on 17  dec so  i have a bit time  ,  and i have to wait ma salary   to afford a  prober  snowdeck  5 years ago  cost  burton junkyard  the real name should be  Burton junk  300 Canadian dollars In Estonia  In Estonia it s   a lot of money .

Dude don't get a boyd hill that would be blowing it. Patience is vital,waiting two or three weeks will pay off.

To Ralston have some official  date  for opening ?

Pretty much all Cies are making really strong boards, whether you choose Ralston, Boyd, Minus7, Lib...etc. just check all the threads in the forum about them and you'll hear more objective comments than sabbath
Lib are great boards but you need to add the Rocker trucks, they pop as good as the Ralston and I'd say they even are more versatile on different snow conditions it depends on how you use them, you should try a few boards if you can.
I need to set-up my Boyd hill (inserts aren't centered) and I'll have some different nice boards here if you can come try them > Ralston/Lib 39 & 43/Chillerdecks/Chiller-Boyd Hill, it's fun to see how they behave, all have pros and cons, all are fun to ride!

Thanks man it s a nice offer   i have do admit i am never driven  with  proper snowdeck       i took  best from my  burton and sims snowdeck (http://www.osta.ee/10437944)  example of the snowdeck   more primitive then  burton  but with  longer ski  , i bought really small  skate deck  and  replaced the original to  copy the look of nowadays  snowdecks  it almost  worked out   gave me couple of cm pop , i am really excited  to have a   poping snowdeck this year .  but like i  told  i am kind of stuck  in Timmins so  thanks for the offer   but  i cant to  come   have to  work in resort  an earn  money  to   deck

cheers

barontieri is right.  They all have there pros and cons.  $$ is and issue too.  The BH ski costs almost as much as the new Ralston, then you need trucks, hardware, deck, grip, leash just to get it on the mountain.  I just drilled out the base of  the trucks to compensate for the crooked inserts on the BH ski.  The way it is now it would retail at around $449.00 with the parts mentioned above.  Lib $339 and you have to get rockers for $50 - $70 and a leash. I have not had a chance to ride the new chiller 135 yet.  I am pretty sure gripped with a leash it is also around $420.00 The Ralstons are a good deal and sounds like what you are looking for.  If you want to call I will answer any questions. 

Ralston is my  kind of my  wet dream ,  but i really hope they  open business soon

[frogbone]

Really,

What do you want?  Do you buy used? I will just steal one from the resort or get one from my buddy. Tell me what you want what you really want.  Or, ask me.

I will wait the BH offer and then i will figure out  but Ralston is the deck what i  really want .

must be nice to be in the united states.  Been trying to purchase another ralston for what seems like an eternity.  I think i would have better luck splitting an atom.

Me too!
It looks like that ebay snowskate is from last years first production run.  I have two of those in my shop but they are going to separate the base from the core.  Look it says may be a factory 2nd and no returns or exchanges.   

It is probably someone who just got tired of waiting for a replacement ski and cut their losses. 

[AlexanderTH3GR8]

U could be so right on that, I can tell by the trucks. So do u guys think on that cheap price on that Ralston could a blemish board.

[snosk8]

Not a blem, just one with the bad glue from last season.  If you are a little handy or know someone who is $199 is a deal.  It comes apart and you epoxy it back together.

You are not the only one.  I have been wanting another ralston since the beginning of December.  Finally got ahold of  a brand new lib for my buddy for $250.  I am almost at the point of believing they are out of business.  No response to emails as of late etc.  Too bad because alot of people liked there product.  They will be missed.

[zak123]

They are not out of business. They have been going through alot of changes this year. That sucks that you guys didn't get your skates. Don't give up on them, they make a bad ass product. I know it's frustrating, I have a lib tech and several other snowskates. But IN MY OPINION they have the best skate. I'm not trying to start a pissing match. Lol all I'm sayin is don't throw the towel in. There's always next year ya gotta Let them work out some kinks they had ta change up alot of stuff this year.

The good news is that if you have a Ralston snowskate on order it is going to ship today or tomorrow.  Just got off the phone with Danny at Ralston.  Keep the faith brothers.
