Hi,
I did my first test of the Lando BTX 160cm! Wow amazing board!
You can carve very fast, stable and at the same time feel pretty light and agile under the feet for goo freestyle! Plus, it is BTX with Twin radius what could you ask more? :-) So happy cause it is as good as my last Elan Vertigo 162cm for carving (if not better because of the Magna Traction) and feel very freestyle as any RC on the market including Skate Banana!, I know now why Mark Landvick rode this one!

TESTER:
Francis, Montreal
5'10'' 165pds
Drake Mentor Large with Northwave Legend size 9US

153 just isn’t my style… i’m small, compact and heavy… i like a long board when charging steep terrain. the 153 would be hella fun for EC… but i’d have to first get past my affliction: Burtonitis.

So that’s how Lando plows through everything…he rides a tractor of a board.

Man. I want to go ride…

Hoon,
I was the same dilemma cause I was also looking to T.RICE… the 153 BTX should be very powerfull and good in pow depending of your wait… Me because I already had the TRS 154 BTX my choice went to Lando 160 for big fast mountain riding but for sur the T.Rice must kick ass to cause my TRS do! 😉

good luck with it. i really want a trice btx but the WW on the 157 is way to wide. my 08 was fun but not quick enough for me edge-to-edge... wonder if i can get away with a 153 BTX in the pow. just what i need another board right?

dying to take out the Volcom board.

Sound interesting Shay and Hoon.
Just bought it and shoulb be able to ride it in few weeks (around Montreal)and will let you know guys about my openion.
I do have a TRs BTX 154cm (that I like a lot) and want a faster machine for grooming that is not afraid at Mach2 or Mach 3 speed but can also go Powder or 360 since my other machine Elan Vertigo 162cm was only good on grooming...

Yep B-pro up later this week :)

Totally right Hoon. I don't think early season at Loveland gave it a fair chance, I'm gonna definitely take it out again when the whole mountain is open at Loveland or Steamboat to really judge it in powder and bigger runs with it.

Honestly I didn't really notice the btx when riding...I didn't really judge it either because I wasn't doing any freestyle stuff with it or riding powder...and btx in powder is just plain fun. A 160cm for me is 2 cm's more than i usually ride. In powder I ride bigger so we'll see how this handles when we get more snow.
