ballistic Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 so where do BX boards fit into the spectrum of Race, Freecarve, and All mtn. boards (generally speaking) ? And what would be a couple of the more popular BX board models be that race teams use? Im trying to figure out the relationship boardercross has to "alpine boards" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 bx are generally wider (most bx racers use softboots), have a rounded tail, and are a bit softer (this depends on the rider's personal taste) Top brands I've seen lately have been Kessler and Oxess, but SG and others are making great boards as well. And Palmer - but iirc those were made by kessler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ridden with h/boots, a BX board fits an All-Mountain description. If ridden with soft boots, it's as close to race/freecarve as the soft boots get.

scrapster Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hey Boris, Hope you're enjoying your summer. If you had to take a guess on the sidecut profile of your Kessler BX, how would you describe it? Does it tighten-up again towards the tail? Or is it more NSR?

BlueB Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hey, thanks, great summer - 2 full months in Europe, will be back to Van in September. The way it rides, the Kes BX is more of a NSR, something like 10-14, or so. The other wide Kessler "VSR" I had, hooked the end of the turns a lot more.
