you caught me :) definitely i don't know it's that copyrighted glamourous Alu alloy until I place the board into spectroscope, but it's definitely some aluminum alloy topsheet, as seen on the photo and as seller writes

so, question remains: absolutely unknown O2?... i'll be the only rider on it? ;)

Maybe you will not be the rider of it too: maybe it's just made of topsheet... without a board under!

Scary as that sounds, I went to Bromley Mountain on a school "ski club" trip last year and noticed an unusually floppy board being unloaded from the bus when we got there. Some kid had a board without any board left in... it was just a topsheet and inserts! yikes! needless to say his day of riding ended extremely quickly.

I have the same board in a 172.

Rob Stevens has ridden this board and pegs the date around the mid 90's - it's called an Oxygen Dangerous.

And yes, the top sheet is Titanal. Mine rides SWEEET.

Wow, why did Oxygen abandon their titanal topsheet experiment? Spontaneous delam a la Volant?

got that Alu beauty! it's definitely oxygen - ptex design is from older late-90 oxys, crafstsmanship of the board seems like it's prototype or some one-off, not a serial board

oxygen word is cnc machined off Alu topsheet! real nice overall.

as of geometry (metered myself):
155.5 contact
17.9 waist
-5mm taper - REVERSE!
12m radius (off NateW calc)
46-50cm stance
seems like softer flex, for rider around 60kg
reverse stiffnes - !!! - very stiff nose and softish tail

will try it soon

noone else seen that deck???

My Dangerous 170 is of traditional construction with a graphic of a Doberman on the nose. Didn't know they made a titanal one..... :confused:

I had one of those dobies too circa 1992 or so.

Good ride. good times.
