skategoat Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Anyone have one for sale? Not sure what lengths the Oxygen came in but I'm looking for a soft GS board between 164 and 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skategoat Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 not the same animal, but i do have a 164 to sell if you care. Isn't the 164 a lot stiffer? ie. a slalom board? I'm looking for a soft GS board. Keith, I'm in SLC in January. If I don't find a board by then, I'll get a look at yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Henry, the 167 is the snarliest most unforgiving board of the whole line. Are you sure that's what you want? The 173 FP would be a much better choice if you want a soft GS board. The longer UP would be OK too, a bit shorter sidecut but soft and friendly.

skategoat Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Chris: It's for my kid, not me. I've ridden one. I thought it was quite soft and forgiving. In fact, I owned one until last year and I sold it for some unknown reason. I know the 160 is a SL board. I thought the 167 was marketed as a softer GS board for lighter riders. Not sure about the 164. Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The 164 is far from what I would describe as soft. I mostly ride a 167 which is not soft either. I've a 173 with an 18 waist and that is probably on the order of what you are seeking. There was a red one for sale on this forum as of just a few days ago - $75 I think.

skategoat Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Thanks but I think the 173 might be too long for a 5'6" 120lb-er. I'm going to try him on a 168 Volkl but wanted to pick up a 167 FP to compare. I had both in my posession at one point and sold the FP thinking it would be years before my kid needed it. I didn't think he'd grow this fast. I also recall the FP was softer than my Volkl which is why I think he could handle it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Three of us had the 1996 6.7 (metalflake blue topsheet) and it was a snappy gnarly ride (thus snarly), far more than the 5.7 - 20, the 5.7 - 18, or the 7.3 - 18. Thus my comment about the lack of friendliness. Why not try your son on an Oxygen, the years with Titanal were medium soft but held an edge well. But let him ride the Volkl too, I think it will be a bit much for him at 120 pounds, but you never know. Wish I had something for him to try.

skategoat Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Good suggestion. I'll keep my eyes open for an Oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hello Skategoat, I have a 172 Oxygen for sale in the classifieds. Don't know if you're worried about that length, but it was a really damp forgiving ride. I bought a Coiler so no longer need it. It is in great condition as it was primarily my race only board.
