Solid Board

By Big J Ranked #190 - Snowboards August 12, 2010

I've been riding strictly NS boards for the last 8 years or so. Been riding going on 16 years. NS boards are the way to go. Built like tanks, awesome 3 years warrranty, and ride like a dream. I've been riding NS Legacy 174's for my last 4 boards. I'm 6'7" ~215 lbs. I wanted something a little shorter and much more agile for those resort riding days. I ended up purchasing a 169 Titan TX w/o rocker and camber. Plenty wide for my size 14 boots. Once you get up to speed in powder, this board handles like nothing else I have ever ridden. So solid and stable, cutting through the snow like a knife through warm butta. Immediately got comments from friends about how hard I was charging that day. All that being said, I went over the front of the board countless times. Not sure if it is just me being used to the extra 5 cm of my other boards or what. On groomers it does not have as much pop as my legacy 174 (to be expected from a board more geared towards big mtn riding). Bottom line, on semi-powder days (fresh 6 inches or so) this is my board of choice. On straight up powder days, or days riding some deep in the backcountry, I will stick with my Legacy. If I were purchasing it over, I would end up buying the Legacy 174 w rocker and camber. I hear that the rocker and camber boards ride a little shorter then those without. If you can get by with a 169 or shorter board, and do a lot of big mountain riding, no question, buy this board.
