I have a JP x-Cite Ride 120, and would like to know if there is any way to tell the age of this board.

The only information on the board is serial # 126572308, 259cm / 8'6” and 67.5cm / 26.6”

Thanks in advance

Tony
Can you post a photo up here so we can see it. The colour(s) should make it easy to tell.

See how far you can depress the deck in-between the front and the back front straps. if it,s about half an orange, then it's 14 months old!'!

Ask the original owner when he bought it.
(Sorry, couldn't resist )
