Speedzilla Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Looking for BX board suggestions. I haven't raced any BX events since twin tip boards were required. I'd like to do a couple events this season. I need to find something that is legal for BX, but aggressive like my race boards. Any ideas? Any good deals out there on leftover boards? I'm not looking to drop $500+ on a new custom board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frappe Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I personally recommend the Nitro Torque. It's one of the few racey/directional boards still in production (F2...Eliminator? being the other that comes to mind) I raced on it (all of twice. anyway.), but it's designed as a BX board.

palmer7716 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I like the Volkl Cross. It is a BX specific board, but is no longer in production. The Ealn Vertigo is also a real nice BX board. It is more of a freeride board and for soft boots, but still a fun, stiff board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer7716 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Should have read Elan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 If you can find one....check out the 2002 Oxygen SX157 or 164. http://www.oxygensnowboards.com It's a real fun board that's specifically designed for a boardercross. A few years ago I demoed a 157 with plates and it was fast, stiff, and zippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer7716 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 There is a place near Mount Snow, VT that has a couple of the Oxygen Snowboardcross boards. Don't remember what size. The shop is called Bonkers Board Room. They would probably ship to you and I believe they were cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I think Sean Martin said most of his Donek factory BX guys were on Inclines. You can get those new for a lot less than $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnken Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 My girl friend rode one of these last year and like so much she bought another one. Got in on sale from blue-tomato. http://www.blue-tomato.at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedzilla Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 For some reason, I keep going back to look at the Donek Axis. Is the Axis BX legal? I've run a handful of BX events on race boards (when it was allowed) and I've always done well. I'd like to stay on something that is still hardboot oriented.
