  1. Jamie / Oxygen SX / BX board

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Its a good board, I rode mine the last few days here in PA.

    I put some nice stiff carbon fiber bindings on it. Didnt hit the park but got some nice runs.. Some a$$s were trying to hit me with snowballs from the lift, I was moving way to fast for them.

    Took a little getting used to, but once I got it., I moved ... my cousin could not keep up with me (he was on skiis)

    I am a little concerned about the quality of oxygen boards though.

    It seems a littlle on the lower end of quality side.

    I dont have the ability to try anyting here.. the season is over.

    If anyone has a Lowes home center go in the tool section, they have a silicon & krytex spray. I bought a can to lube up my bike and such... Works really good.

    Ill buy another can for next year.

    KryTox comes in several viscosities, Im assuminug for different usages, and tempature ranges.

    http://exceed.dupont.com/Krytox/webpub.nsf/Pages/index.html

    Is duponts main page on the product.

    Im sure you could email them for a "Professional Sample"

    I use to have electronic companies (motorola) send me "demo" chips..

    In looking around Duponts web site I think the "General-Purpose Grades -- clear, colorless; nonreactive, nonflammable, long-lasting; fluorinated synthetic oils safe for chemical and oxygen service"

    Is probally the product you will be looking for.

    http://www.tmcindustries.com/krytox.htm

    you can buy a 1 pound bottle for about 103$

    I may be wrong but it may be in a small squeeze bottle. (check the MSDS )

    ... There you go

    As far as it getting in the snow and water suply......Hmm

    Im SURE dupont would not let anything bad happen to our enviroment!

    not wax is just that-- not wax

    its a florinated oil (KryTox)

    used in things that need a inert oil (pumps, medical stuff)

    and bike chains!!! (go figure)

    its Finish Line Victory Lube Booster Shot about $10 for a syringe full

    look in the dry lubes section.

    For 14 its not a bad deal for the puck though..

    Since I never have used no wax, do you have to strip you base clean of all wax??

    ....

    Just a off thought, why not disolve your favorite wax in some naphta and tissue some on? It will leave a nice film.

    Just a thought but what do I know... I know naaa-thing.

  18. Crash stories ...

    I was skiing and a snowboarder going mach 4 turned infront of me. I turned/stopped really way to fast for my ability and... Snap..went my ACL.

    Had ACL repaired 6 weeks later

    Doctor cleared me and following season I bought a board and never looked back.

    Another..

    Cousin and myself were riding a narrow trail, I ride a little faster, I was trying to pass him... he zigged, I zagged (full force).. bonked heads (with helmets on) and we must have looked like rag dolls going down the trail.. Ski patrol was behind us, came over looking white as a ghost said the standby "You OK?"

    We both sat up and said .. "We have helmets, were cool" .. Got up and were really impressed by our wise purchases only a week before.

    Ahhhhh... Happy endings

    PS If you never had you ACL busted, be glad.. Id rather have a broken bone. Knock on plastic

  19. boardercross and angles in soft/hard setup

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Just curiosity,

    I dont know how many people have "boardercross" boards.

    But I was wondering what angles do YOU use for boardercross boards and what degrees (cants as well) and are you running a soft/hard setup?

    I ask because I now have 3 boards, regular freestyle, a race board (with plates) and a new boardercross board (with no bindings)

    Just thinking as to what to screw on the top of this new BX board.

    Thanks

  25. Want to buy Alpine/ Soft Setup

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Hi

    Looking to buy a 162 - 165'sh depending on brand.

    I am going to be using soft boots and bindings.

    Brand name or age is not important, as long as its a decent board in decent condition.

    If you have (large) soft bindings for this that would be good as well. (size 10 foot)

    Just looking to get started in carving and see if this is for me. So please keep it on the mid to lower end of the price range.

    Please feel free to post here, or email me... Thanks. !!

    Matt
