scrapster Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Donek Razor 162 w/ Olympic Core $375 + shipping SOLD Waist: 24.5cm Effective Edge: 139cm SCR: 9.25m (radial) Decambered Tip & Tail Razors are too much fun not to have one in your quiver! I had Sean heavily tweak this one for me with the aim of creating a quiver killer, and it's very close to that. The board absolutely slays soft snow, powder and marginal conditions. It's a very energetic groomer-carver with great edge hold as well, though it gives me (at 145lbs) a good workout on east coast hardpack. I imagine it would be wonderful with hardboots. Near new condition with only 4 days on snow. Very, very slight base wear. I only had a prep tune done to set the bevels. What's up with the nose? Many softboot carvers (and BX boards) are stubbies that don't excel off the groom. I wanted to bridge both worlds with this board and have a softy carver that also excelled in pow and crud. It works well! I think it also made the board torsionally stiffer--which is great for carving and pow--but more board than I was looking for at my light weight. Will consider trade for Prior ATV 161 or 167 Edited April 11, 2012 by scrapster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Burton custom x 164. The last 3d model. 24/9 for angles. I have size 9 feet I only ride one deck and never alter my stance for pow or otherwise. I am looking for a directional, quiver killer or to have one built. I'm thinking saber with decam tip tail about 25cm widith bamboo core, carbon and rubber. I ride switch about 40% of the time Edited March 3, 2012 by slopestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The Razor has a flat tail.) I have another Razor with the rubber dampening from the Saber, and it rocks. Just FYI though, if you get both the rubber AND the bamboo core, that's going to be one heavy board. The ride would be interesting though, and at 200lbs, it might not matter. If you have the $ to spend, I'd suggest adding an Olympic core with the Saber dampening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes please email me @ joefranklin77 at gmail dot com Hey Joe, I did some research and US street shoe size 8 is supposed to be the max for these. I think that's a mondo 26.

slopestar Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Its so hard. This would be a straight carver for me. I will be posting up my hardboots and binders soon. I'm going all soft boot but the best stuff possible. So, it looks like a new snowboard during the off season. Im adding flow frx binders with bomber soft plates/modified with custom aluminum base-plates to accept the flow high back and straps, instead of bolting them to the provided plates(less weight/height). I need something that gives back at the end of a turn and isn't as skid-dish as the custom x is with its weird side-cut. It is by far the nicest ride I have had compared to my mid 90's Lib inner-course's (non asym bro-models) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapster Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) one more... The base never had a decent, new board prep grind since I purchased it in December, which is why it looks a little "hairy."

It's MUCH stiffer than your Custom X. I've ridden it with Power Plates and they work nicely. Given your weight, you probably wouldn't need them for more power, but they'd certainly help eliminate any overhang problems.

slopestar Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 With 8.5-9 boots. I would probably run shallow angles anyway. 33/18? What is the story with the nose? I will be dumping my 26 deeluxe 700/td-1/burton race plates/ultra prime 62/burton fusion 165to fund any new purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi Slopestar, I came up with the shovel design after I dug the nose of my other Razor in spring conditions last year (which, in retrospect, was my fault and not the board's). I wanted a nose that was almost guaranteed to cut through chop and work well in powder too. I was mildly influenced by the nose on the Jones Hovercraft powder board which seemed very versatile. Interestingly enough, the flex pattern on this board is different than on my other Razor too. The nose is a touch softer and it's quite stiff from the mid-section through the tail--which adds to its "all condition" purpose. (This is why I think it would work for a heavier rider. The "meat" of the board extends from the binding area back.) My other Razor seems stiff in the nose and tail and softer in the middle.
