The thing is simply unstoppable, very fast and it comes to the surface even when you ride the front foot. I even head the bindings 10mm ahead of the centre, just because, and never needed to ride the back foot (unless I wanted to). No action pics, just a big, ride induced smile: Now, I need to search for some bottomless stuff... should have come to montucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I had both M and S on snow today. We had really nice groomers, pretty bad moguls and some crud from Friday's dump. A perfect edge change: I had the OES AM down the groomed, but also at high speed through the crud on the side. It handled beautifully! I did a small mod on the S: I shaved off about 50% of the edge at the transition from sidecut to the nose. It made it smoother, both visually and the ride. I might take a pic later...

skrekk Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Blue, how do you think this board compares to the Prospect SG1 ? I'm not sure that Henderson is making them anymore but it sounds like a similar ride. Edited March 4, 2019 by skrekk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm not familiar with that board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted April 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 @west carven, I'm replying here, so we don't derail the K168 thread... The AM167 is listed on OES site, at the original specs. I don't know how many has Alexey produced. He also offers another version, that is a bit wider but has MUCH longer radius, I think 14m or so. I liked the original a lot in pow and for carving, less in moguls and technical freeride... I feel that I have overdone the taper, the nose can be too hooky when not ridden centered. I have not ridden the version II... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
