110/220V Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 FS: Oxygen APX. Excellent cond, MINT Microstone Base Finish. Diamond Disc Edge Finish...9,5rad Densolite Core, Sintered Base, Made in AUT. 225USD (shipping extra)!! I'd used this board one morning, about 8 (mid-winter/groomer) runs here in Mammoth Lakes. The board is VERY responsive, and eight runs were sufficient for my purpose (handling/wax testing). Although the board was ridden on packed powder/machine groomed soft, the board had excellent hold through turns for Alpine/angulated-style turning, and will certainly come into its own in icier terrain/courses. This board will not acommodate a custom titanal plate due to the Atomic/Oxygen BETA geometry, and I am selling as a result. This board easily translates the Alpine style. It also works well with soft. The tail is semi-squared and of course FIS legal. The shape of the tail would compliment the most aggressive SBX ability-level. The board requires a solid interface, such that plate bindings tend to provide, and 3 of the 8 runs were actually with OS1s. I used a Freeride mod, and I'd only recommend a similar, stiffer (Freeride-type) soft binding. The board is much more narrow than a Soft, freestyle/twin-tip board, and a bit wider than most Hardboards. The board is also thicker (at sidewalls) but this may result from the densolite shaped core. Cheaper than the 4WD here...great board, but not for everyone. The board is racer red and of course, fast and solid...the base is sintered with no other base diecuts, and holds wax well. There is easily +14mm of camber if I recall, but I can update the post once I relocate my depth caliper. This board will not acommodate a custom titanal plate, and I am selling as a result. I've read the moderator post, and the board is definitely NOT a closeout...it remains unused, and taking up space. Pick up in Mammoth Lakes avail this week; in this case, we each can avoid any shipping charges/hassles. I recommend a prep wax/tune, in addition to any day-wax for your personal preference prior to use. You will be responsible for any and all service work with your own resources and at your leisure. PayPal preferred, I can forward the PayPal info to prospective buyers, or do cash this week upon pickup. I'd like to sell the board by next week's end.

110/220V Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 ...but not quite a [give-away] either; 225 is a fine price for this fine, delightful culmination of Austrian snowboard-craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalrob08 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Not to bust your bubble or ruin this thread....I will delete this if asked. But, my local shop had 4 of these boards brand new in the wrapper and sold each one for $75? Just thought you might wanna know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110/220V Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thank you for the info. There is no need to delete your post...obviously, you chose to post rather than PM. No harm done, as there is always the Bay-site, in case I remain inclined to sell this board, and cannot here on BOL...but I sure could have used your info before I'd purchased mine! In fairness of free enterprise, can you disclose the name of the shop? You can either post the shop name here (unless that violates some site protocol), or PM me with contact info for this same local shop. I could be very easily persuaded to switch my board setup, if I had at least a couple of this same board for my own use. You must understand that I cannot offer you any finder fees, but I am sure all interested parties (including the shop proprietor) would appreciate the info as well. Or, perhaps you would be the APXmiddle man? If you can arrange 3-4 boards identical models (comprable in terms of usage), I would be happy to keep this board, and purchase any others you can find for 75USD! In this regard, it is worthwhile for me to keep, unless there are no more to be had... So...In addition to a pending sale of my board, I concurrently offer 75US for any BOL visitors who would be happy to part with their slightly used APX165! If you aren't mistaken, there must be at least a few out there! I'd already mentioned this board is not for everyone, so there has to be at least a few avail! While I won't hold my breath for timely info at the risk of any pending sale of this board, I'm happy someone out there (whether it's me or ?) will eventually put this thing to use.

110/220V Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'm mistaken, here...I just realized your post said the shop HAD four of the same boards and closed them out at 75. Of course the shop had no problems moving the APXs...but I would still appreciate any help in case anyone has an APX165 they would part with...for a quick 75US. THX.

Vandalrob08 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ya man! The name of the shop was "The Fifth Season". As you have already figured out I said they HAD 4 of these boards in different colors. Seeming they were a few years old and not a Super Popular board with any of our local Carving Community the owner let them go brand new for 75 USD. I unfortunately didnt appreciate the APX's width as I have grown up on narrow sticks so I didnt get one. However if one of our locals decides to part with his/hers it would probably be like $50 and when I see one come up for sale I will send you some Mail!!!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstzephyr Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 forgive me for being confused....but what? Are you commenting on the core material of the board? Because if you are do you mind explaining why you mentioned that. Iam interested in the board but price is a bit high for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

110/220V Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi. OK if there are any interested riders looking for an SBX plate-friendly machine...(and do not want the fat tip/tail combo like the MaddBX or the barrel-waist of an F2speedster), may I recommend the APX...but I don't expect to force a camel to drink. I can sell this APX for 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
