i bought a couple of skiboards seven years ago, they were barely used..so, i dont know what to do with them. They are made by canon and i have have one pair of bindings too (i say they were not great bindings at all), theyre also 90cm
so my questions are: can i still ride them? would i need new bindings? how can i tune it?
what if i want to sell them? do u guys think anyone would be interested in something that old?
please help..its just collecting dust!:p

eBay them!
Make sure to take good pictures and let people know the condition they are in. You should be able to get a decent amount of money to put towards a new pair of skiboards.

first post some pics of them depending on what kind they are will change how good they are (they had problems with some models) or you could make an end tabel out of them

If they're in decent condition you can still ride them. Post some pics of the topsheet, base, and make sure to show anything wrong with the edges and we can tell you if you can fix em up or not.

yeah i could get pictures, i would love love love to skiboard again ..but this time on better boots 'n bindings, the last time i was on the lift my boards fell off! i had to hike halfway down to get em!
its hard being a chick skiboarding because i feel alone in it...most folks snowboard, so it was hard to get support..

Those are pretty old Canon boards, but they look they are still rideable, and those bindings aren't the best on the market, but they aren't bad either if they're well adjusted. The other thing that helps with those is a touch of loc-tite on the screws that adjust the bindings. Just put a drop on, then adjust them so they are kinda difficult to close the toe clip. If you want to get new boards those would probably sell on ebay. You could probably get around 100-150$ dollars for all of it, possibly even a bit more. It's also entirely possible that someone on here might want to buy em from you.

Yay! There are other female skiboarders! Woot!
And yeah, getting back to the subject at hand, those look quite ridable.
