MCA Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 I've been offered a Dirty Harry from a chap. Is this a good board for a beginner? Does it suffer from speed wobble? He says its got hard bindings? What does this mean? Would I need to replace with soft bindings? Are they cheap? What's a good price for one of these in good condition? Anything else I should know about this board? I don't doubt the guys sincerity, just trying to get as much info as possible. Quote
Flying Funkster Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 dont know about the board, but the film is top, one of my all time favourites...... Sorry, not the answer you wanted, but its a dull friday afternoon at work Quote

MCA Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Posted July 25, 2003 Those hard bindings look pretty unforgiving. How much does it cost to replace them? Quote
trebor Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 With the hard binding attached - I tried on of these a while ago, think it had 9 or10" tyres - was pretty heavy but nice cruising at speed. :D http://www.bigpeaks.com/ check out all road section the mountain boards - sorry wouldnt accept pasted link.

Alex Brown Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 hi, i started on a dirty harry board about 4 weeks ago and i couldnt board atall. within a few hours i moved onto a scrub 39 then an air deck. personally i wouldnt get it but it depends on how fast u can learn. it really heavy aswell so jumping is a no for the board. the deck is also quite wide which makes it brill for learning on. its up to u dude on what ur capable of using:p Quote
oakley dude Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 You can get soft bindings from http://www.bhi-uk.com for about £29.00 and these are wider then others and they have a slip proof pad to help you. cheers Chris Quote
MCA Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Posted July 28, 2003 I've decided to go for an Exit Airforce board instead. Thanks for the advice everyone. Quote
