Okay, I really slacked on this post since I wrote it back in January! But what can I say, it was a great season and we spent most of our free time on the mountain.
After months of going back and forth, I finally decided on the Roxy Eminence BTX board. I was torn between this board and the Gnu B-Pro BTX, but I definitely made the right decision.
Its the perfect board for me…holds its edges great in ice and is super fun in powder. It took me a little time getting used to it after 3 years of riding my Ride Vista, but after the first day or two I was so happy with it.
I made so much improvement in my riding with the Roxy Eminence BTX, I went from being comfortable on greens and blues to conquering black diamonds easily. We spend most of our time riding in Vermont, and it was perfect in conditions ranging from ice and hard packed to deep powder. Thank you Torah Bright and Roxy/Mervin Manufacturing for making such a great board! The Banana Tech with Magne-Traction makes all the difference in the world.
And of course it looks good (I know – I’m such a girl)! I love the black & yellow colors and the flashy design.
The only thing I am going to change for this season is to adjust my stance, I really think a wider stance is going to help give me more stability. Having gone through ACL/PCL surgery I was hesitant to put too much weight in my knees with a wider stance, but I think it will definitely help my riding skills!
Now I’m just counting down the days ’til the season starts. Only like 3 – 4 months to go!
