shoulda written down the specs, but i was in a hurry to get home before i fell asleep driving.
stopped at a local shop and while they dont carry any specific freecarving or hardbooting equipment, they showed me a 2004 Oxygen SuperX 159 i believe. Was a pretty solid board, brand new he offered it to me for $150. I want to jump on it but i don't know / have any luck finding any info or specs about it online (the board at the shop didnt have a factory sticker on it).
tail is not as round as the nose, not completely flat though.
any help/advice/info would be awesome.. im going to keep trying to find something about it online

basically i would need someone's opinion on the board and some specs if available.
waist, scr, stiffness, etc..
it seemed pretty stiff when i did my manly flex it on the floor test with it compared to my customx. :cool:
would this be a good board to put my soft bindings/boots on, or would that defeat the purpose.. i'm looking to have an all mountain board with a soft setup and a freecarve specific board with plates by next season if everything takes off!

I have a 164sx..Very stiff.

Great board. I ride it with my soft boots. I use it mostly for my all around board.

I love my donek sasquatch 170 for carving in soft boots. I dont know much about the oxygen, but if you like carving in softboots I would recommend a donek. If the new price of 400 is too steep for you I did a breif search in the classifieds which yeilded this:

apparently its still for sale for $100, although it doesnt seem to be in perfect condition.

I have a superx 164, which I use as a powder board with hard boots. Good board, stiff, can be a bit rough in the chop if your not driving it hard, will carve hard. I like it in the powder too. I think I paid $200 for mine about 2 years ago.

I researched this board back in the day...it has a narrow waist for a soft boot board..23.5-24cm I believe. It's suppose to be fairly stiff, fast and pretty good.

If you are getting a full blown hardboot setup, then I would not recommend this board for all mountain riding given the waist width and stiffness. This would be a good compromise if you could only buy 1 board and you wanted a hard charging machine for all mountain riding. The price is very good, but I personally would go for something more soft flexed if I was going with 2 setups
