Thank you for viewing. Ride Berserker 153cm Used for one season. There are small scratches on the nose and tail, but I don't think they will affect the ride. I am selling it because it is a bit too stiff for my purposes. Storage wax has been applied, so please remove it before riding. The blackening of the sole is due to dirt from the storage wax, so I think it will be clean if you remove the wax. If you are still concerned, you can use a dirt remover to remove it. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing.
