desperate for some GI cubes ! anyone with a source let me know

BLUE kite cubes would be ideal but will consider all.

1st or 2nd generation? Color preference?

2nd gen. what ever i can find.

the blue kite cubes is really what i need.

i usually run 7's , a set of 4's lasted about 4-5 months.

not to picky just need fresh

actually not sure about the color thing, most of the ones i use are white i guess

are you referring to Ground Industries torsion cubes?

thanks for the cubes !

whats that mean "nitify"?

Sheered the tendrils right off, ey?

I REALLY wish GI was still around. I love Torsion cube technology.

i called and spoke with owner of GI back in spring ,,,said "they" still have production ready status. they are in a suspended holding pattern with some legal issues so that can kill the best of things. i def want gear from them if possible.....or perhaps start my own stuff!

those sheered are 3's and feel amazing when fresh but barely made it 3-4months.

way too soft for super heavy use....50-60 sessions maybe 150-200hours

if you noticed the wheel bearing also blown out....

rode it back! upwind 5 MILES after it blow out...no way was i gonna walk

Typo. Meant to say notify. Just for myself since I forgot to flag first response with email notification.

Hey Phree, let me know if this board interests you. It is still near mint condition and that is an understatement!
The best part is it also comes with a fresh set of yellow cubes that I purchased after buying the board. Unfortunately I just have no use for this board anymore but would really like for it to find a new home. I can say with confidence I'd be shocked if anyone has a better condition GI board anywhere, let alone with extra cubes.

looking not seeing, i do remember , it having plain deck and new bionics . you got fresh pics?

Absolutely. I'll take some fresh pics and post 'em up by tomorrow night.

cool

Here are some assorted pics taken today.
It is a very phresh board!
As far as I know the spec is as follows: blue Bionic Torsion trucks with yellow cubes, white Crossair wheels, and white/yellow Talon Bindings on a Maple Groundscape Board. I also will include
an extra set of yellow cubes I bought when I got the board.

tidy phucking virgin annie!... phresh indeed

if remember this board is super stiff, board looks nice

$ ?

I haven't used the board other than to try it twice on my local grass fields. I really didn't like riding on the grass so it's just like it was when I bought it. With the extra cubes how about $265 including shipping? That's what I paid for it BTW, which was not including the cubes.

P..S. did you see the tires even look nearly unused :o

deep gratitude to ANGUS !




annieO i'll think about it.

The board in question is a flight 93 deck circa 2006. I have the exact same board with original trucks and bindings and standard GI grip tape. It was my first board and I still have it today and its in great shape with all original components except the bindings and a cube or two. Its 9 ply maple IIRC. it came with the original version of the 4 cube which was way too stiff for me (145#s) so I dropped it down to the 2 cube and then up to the 3 and eventually back down to the 2. With a 3 it is carvey and with a 2 it is super carvey at my weight. The board is indestructible and though stiff, with the right cubes it will be springy and it can take a major pounding. The cubes will fail before the board does. Its heavy but the trucks and wheels and hub on the board in question are all second generation and lighter than the original so though its heavy it is short and can be whipped around.

I quite like it and though I ride my Prodigy nowadays, I kept the Flight 93 because I really liked how bomb proof it is and will ride it again when my Prodigy dies.

it def makes back up grade. i'm down some kingpin parts but have at least 2 complete back ups sets.

wanting different straps. talons are good while they're young but fail pretty quick in my experience , lotta little parts, plastic breaks, but duck tape and some line keep things together.

i just got one of these out of a dumpster last week....it needs some work but nothing wrong w/ it...go figure, non-kiters can be so strange
