tex1230 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 specs? is the extra insert up front for a leash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 is the extra insert up front for a leash? 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 specs?is the extra insert up front for a leash? I bet for Snow Stix. Strange there isn't one on the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 that's why I asked the leash question - never seen just one in the front for stix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfj04 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's for a leash. I was givine the same information by Torsten (Xtasy owner) as well. I had the 178 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtanner Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Cool a board with Flare... very hooky ride I suspect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Curious Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was the one that picked up cfj04's element... I took it out to the slopes for the first time yesterday for some real carving in ideal conditions... I have the 178. I'm a beginner and my previous board was a Rossi 172 Race, and I don't have much experience on other boards, but I have to say yesterday was an eyeopener. The ride was very damp with quite a lot of pop for some easy transitions. Endless edge hold. Needless to say I was STOKED. Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furi Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I love the orange sidewalls! very nice with the white topsheet. What color is the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Curious Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sintered black base, with a little stylized orange "x" at the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sintered black base, with a little stylized orange "x" at the nose. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 reverse taper? 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovastic Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Has anybody got pics of some other Xtasy snowboard? I'd really like to see what some other models look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
