Thanks guys! But Buell, the specs you wrote seem to be specs to the old (pointed nose) model. I think Full Race has much more eff. edge. So you say it's a totally different board to ride? Cheers!

I do. It would be something like this: SG Race T Pogo Blitz Alpinepunk Metalburner (haven't tried it but it sure does look interesting!) Virus Berserker Team (or maybe some other Virus) Pogo Longboard (for pow days) Arbor A-Frame (just to have a softie :p) And I would leave my Xtasy Element 169 for small and crowded hills, and sell my Coiler and f2. But I don't think I'll have money to do that. Or even worse, how should I explain to my girlfriend?!?

hmmm I think your quiver says quite the opposite than you being poor! Unfortunately, I know what a Pogo costs, and I've been drooling to get one for years! But still can't understand how a 10 year old Pogo Blitz goes for over €400 on ebay!!! I got myself an Xtasy this winter, and I must say it rides really similar to Pogo! Hope it will last as long as Pogo does! Cheers

Oh! I've been planing to go there for over a month, but I can't It would be great to hear from you guys who go there some comparisons on the demo boards! I would personaly like to see a comparison of SG Race T, Goltes Titanal and Alpinepunk Metalburner! Thanks in advance if someone does it for me

anybody knows the exact specs on Race Full Pro Team 185 or the smaller one? Thanks

let's say favorite alpine boards: SG Race T (beautiful!!!) Pogo Xtasy

I tried SG Cult 169 and SG RaceT 178 and I must say that they are incomparable! Cult can't be considered a good carving board compared to RaceT. But Cult was the first AM board I ever rode, and I think, if you want a good carving machine on piste, don't buy a Cult. That's my opinion. But maybe I'm wrong!

so you say it's because it's SG, and not because it's titanal? I tried only one titanal board so I wouldn't know... http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=18550

Has anybody got pics of some other Xtasy snowboard? I'd really like to see what some other models look like.

I just have to say this: I love this board! Since it's quite short, one can't expect to ride it Mach3, but it is surprisingly fast and easy to carve and I must say quite snappy! Holds edge perfecly!!! I noticed that there were in fact HUGE parts coverd in PURE ICE on the piste only after my friend told me. I didn't feel them at all while riding this beauty! And I love the orange sidewalls!!! Looks crazy on snow trough my orange lens!

Thanks JK! My woman says she likes the 2nd one from the right best! And she's the one in charge :o

Thanks! JK, the second one would be funny since it looks like Croatian flag (that's where I'm from) I like the first one best! And I would be happy to see more inputs. Thanks again!

Thanks Chubz! I don't know a theme yet. I just know I don't want any robots, skeletons and futuristic stuff on my board. And I wouldn't mind if flourescent(?) colors were used (like the color in my previous post... I don't know a word for those shiny, glossy colors in english) For example, I like my new Xtasy (pure white with orange sidewalls) http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=19779 and I like most Pogo designs...

Bobby, you can be sure that I won't be building a cheap board! And since I'd rather have a better riding than a better looking board, I will give all my money to the builder. I somehow wouldn't feel right if I told somebody that I in fact payed for the topsheet design... Thank you very much for your offer anyway!

Thanks Bobby, but I still hope somebody could do it for free... and I would like something simple! no sceletons and stuff like that... If I don't find anybody I'll probably go with something like this

Once again I'm playing in CAD. This time not in snoCAD, but in AutoCAD This is a design I made (inspired by combination of round tails and Pogo tails :p) It would be great if someone could give me some top sheet design for this board... I don't have anything to offer to return a favor (except maybe drawing a board in AutoCad for you, after your specs..), but if you're bored and feel like designing a top sheet... I would be very thankful! :D If somebody wants to play a bit, I can send a .dwg file if needed, too. I'll probably have it made with titanal and carbon. These are the board's specs: length: 177 cm eff. edge: 158 cm nose length: 14 cm nose width: 24.5 cm tail length: 5 cm tail width: 23.9 cm waist width: 19 cm radius: 12.2 m

On Xtasy website there are two charts. In one chart it says nose width 24.2 tail width 24.5 and in another chart it says nose width 24.2 tail width 24.2. I did try to measure in my office and it seems that nose width is 24.4 and tail width 24.6. But I'll measure again at home. I've never riden a board with reverse taper. Should I expect very hooky ride?

That's right. And I must say that nose height is quite large. It reminds me of Pogo and Virus boards. Can't wait to ride it on Saturday!!! :D

this is what Torsten from Xtasy snowboards said: The hole in front is for a special leash with a lock we made. So you can fix it with a special screw.

yup. for a leash. specs from their site are: length 169 cm eff. edge 151 cm tip width 24.2 cm waist width 19.1 cm tail width 24.5 cm radius 11.1 m but I think it's actually 1 cm longer and about 1-2 mm wider in tip, waist and tail. It has almost 2 cm camber and looks very snappy, but I haven't got it on snow yet...

Just wanted to share some pics...

bump...

I've had a Nidecker Extreme, but didn't look anything like that... It was the newest and the fancyest model more than 10 years ago... And I really loved it!

ooops in one chart it says it has no taper, and in the other one it says 3mm reverse taper! I'll have to measure it myself

Hey No.2! I just got my Xtasy Element today! http://www.xtasy-snowboards.de/seiten/start.htm You can often find some very cheap on ebay.de It seems very nice! I even think they might be produced on the same machines as Pogo, so they should be quite high quality! I'll post a report on how it rides after this weekend... and it will be my first board with no taper to ride so we'll see.... So what board did you decide to get? Tried a Holzinger yet? Cheers!
