Bump.

BTW, my mistake. It's Sean not Shawn ;) (I was thinking about my current boss!)

Yup, that's the plus of a multi-radius sidecut. I just like the predictability of the radial--the board responds the same way even if my body is out of position. Also, it gives you a nice pop out of turns in the end.

PS- If you ride switch a decent amount, I'd stick with the Incline, or even try the Saber. The tail on the Razor can do it, but it's not really designed for it.

164 for you--maybe even slightly bigger depending on how much maneuverability (164) versus carving performance (longer) you desire. Sean likes to put people on bigger Razors. Honestly, I never understood that. But then again, I was basically looking for an amped-up freeride board that could carve exceptionally well and rarely needed to off trail. Given that the Razor already has much more edge and a shallower sidecut than your average freeride stick of the same size, I saw no reason to go much longer than I would normally ride. I'm about 145lbs and short at 5'4." My 164 Razor is at the upper limit of stiffness for it to be enjoyable for me in all conditions. (Keep in mind that Sean will tweak stiffness to your weight and riding style.) I also ask for the same dampening as his Saber BX series boards--which is really nice for icy/hard conditions. Lastly, I like a radial sidecut on my softboot carving boards--between 9 and 9.5m. But that's just my personal preference.

Big +1 for the Razor. I've had three over the years. I've found that the longer, stiffer models like to be ridden with a more forward stance--particularly on the back foot. Otherwise, the board can spank you unexpectedly. But they're SOOO much fun. My last 160 was about the best freeride/ softboot carver I've ever owned. My current 164 is definitely more carve oriented, but still friendly enough to slack off and get surfy on.

Same here! Great to catch a few laps with you. Later on, I managed to get my carving legs back under me for one more run. Why do I always forget about Lower Flying Cloud? Would have spent much more time over there...

I suspect Comp will be closed a good part of tomorrow for the pentathlon. Big weekend at the Beast. Should be pretty crazy.

Is the B-East open right through to the end of March? Gotta make sure I get a few more days in.

Hmm.... might have to go to the B-East on Monday. Headed up to Stratton after the storm this Wednesday, if anyone wants to join me. Tickets currently going for $38 on Liftopia. (Snagged mine earlier today for $29 )

Jasey-Jay BX Board 156cm --$650 +shipping -- SOLD Metal (Molina Model) Waist: 23.2cm SCR: (vsr) 9-12-11m Decambered tip and tail. Great board--fantastic materials and build quality. Used 1/2 dozen times for recreational riding. Never raced, ground or sharpened except for the prep tune that Jasey did. Made for riders less than 160lbs or so, but it's no noodle by any means. Very, very light wear with no scratches or base dings. Need the cash, or else I'd keep it myself :)

Awesome! Yeah, the Razor with extra dampening is a beautiful thing. I have another in the works and opted for the textured topsheet too. Perfect East Coast board. Enjoy!

Nice hill. It can get crowded on weekends with all those bums driving up from...oh, wait :rolleyes:. Snowdance has always been a favorite of mine, especially in the spring. Do yourself a favor and bang a left off of Rt 91 onto Rt 2 west at Greenfield, MA and then a right on Colrain-Shelburne Rd/Rt 112 to Rt. 100 in VT. It's more direct and a nicer drive.

Wow! This is one cool-looking board. Can't wait to try it out. Great packing too. Thanks, Ron!

Sounds good. Sent you an email.

Do you know the specs on this?

Snow got a bit sticky, but another fantastic day at the Beast. Finally started to make friends with my VSR BX board on Exhibition.

Looking for the foam pads that fit under Nidecker 800/900 series bindings--preferably M/L size.

Probably headed to the Beast on Friday morning for a few turns--sometime between the morning freeze-over and the afternoon-slush fest.

Thanks for everyone's interest. The board is SOLD!

Yeah, the wind was blowing all the skied-off pow right back up the hill--natural grooming.

Good times were had by all! My last run on Saturday...and the first time playing with the helmet cam. It's a little bouncy.

Sale pending with $trider.
