Guest Jagger Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Anyone know anything about the Oxygen kr series boards? How do they compare to the proton? Are they newer or older? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I have one too, its a KR 159 Asym board, with Morrow or Mistral ?Bindings. I have no clue what kind of board it is. I have not been on it yet, it was given to me from the left overs at the ski swap. I was hoping to give it a tune and let my short friend try it out to get the feel of hard boots.

nils Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 The KR series was developped by Karine Ruby with Oxygen, and then became the Proton. Its basically the same board (older) and the KR was then getting a lot of podiums ( 96-00 era) under Karine's feet! Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPCARVER Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I just picked up a kr72c . I have ridden it twice and love it. I rode it all day at Beaver Creek during the SES.

Maciek Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 You don't seem to visit this place much anymore. Where do you post these days? Any new movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hey Maciek, well pretty busy with Swoard after the return from the SES :) am also doing an architecture competition that is time demanding !... New movie will be up tomorrow : Its a small 4 min clip showing the slopes of the ECS we had in Zinal end of January. Am editing a long version with every single turn that took place there almost; it will be online later on, on a P2P network such as bitstreams because otherwise our server will explode! ( we are already eating up as much as 130 gb bandwith a month ( almost a small porn site hehe)..) Hope you guys have fun at the ECES, Fin should bring there three Swoards for test there too, one of each 175's ( soft, medium, hard flex) so basically anyone over 175cm tall and from weight 70 kilos to 100 will be able to try! (just make sure you guys reduce your angles as much as u can, and ride flat!) New gallery will be also up tomorrow thursday :)! Nils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jagger Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up going with a newer proton 178 anyways though the graphics on the kr were pretty cool. Nils is Karine Ruby a woman or a man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
