shookom Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) How much snowboard gear does a former US Team member need when she lives in Houston. I dream of getting to the slopes one day to use all this stuff, but this is getting ridiculous. Oxygen Proton GS 172, Sold. See info below for 178 Oxygen Proton GS. More pictures available. email with questions. Prefer paypal. Prices do not include shipping. Please note I was on forum before, but I guess my login expired. I have excellent feedback at ebay. I can find references if needed. Thanks, Stacia stacia dot gollihar at gmail dot com Edited January 7, 2014 by shookom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbeckett Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi, sent you an email with a couple questions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookom Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 This one is sold. I have others... 178cm, 168cm. May consider selling a Custom Made Lui Holsinger the same length and shape as the Oxygen 172 with a channel. Let me know if you are interested in Oxygens or the Lui, I can post pics. I will post new listings later. Thanks, Stacia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlineofdefense Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hey, I'm totally new to raceboarding. I've been a softboot snowboarder for 7 years, and I ride proficiently. Looking for entry level gear across the board. I'm 6'4", 220 lbs. Would the 178 cm be a decent fit for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookom Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) See new pictures above of 178cm board... This board is 178cm Oxygen Proton GS. It has a cap construction. The base is flat with a race structure. It has some superficial scratches in the base, but overall the base is in very good condition. Board edges are clean. There is plenty of edge. The base bevel is 1degree and the side 2degrees. There is a ding in the nose top sheet, but this does not affect performance. This board was made around 2000 plus or minus a year. It was used for 1-2 seasons on the FIS world cup in regular GS races by me. I am 5'3" 145lbs. The waste is 19cm. 14meter side cut radius. I can measure running length, let me know if you want me to. You can see from the pictures that there is camber, but perhaps not as much as my other boards. Oxygens are typically stiffer than most stock race boards because of the cap construction. I am not sure the weight range. I rode this in wide open GS races or out bombing groomers on the mountain. Someone larger and stronger than me could ride this board, especially freeriding. Limitations in this board for men would come with racing. If you are a strong rider and can carve a freestyle snowboard, you will likely figure this board out. My husband is 220, 5'11" and I would not hesitate to put him on it to go freeriding if he wanted to carve. Basically, I am saying I think it will work for you. Riding a race board is an adjustment, but once you make that adjustment you should be good to go. The risk with going smaller is you would grow out of it too fast. With this board, down the road you may want a longer one, but you will still be able to ride it around the mountain and have fun. I usually ride a 172cm now, but I have a 164cm board to use when I want to carve, but need more flexibility-- like bumps or powder. Let me know if you have more questions. I am asking $150 plus shipping. I have a couple of other inquiries, just FYI. Thanks, Stacia Edited January 7, 2014 by shookom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
