Zhangger, great to hear!

Vica, awesome on the board choice! I think you’ll be happy with it and if you take a trip west or find powder, it’ll help you stay afloat.

My bf got me this board, and i love it! glad to see that you think that it’s a good board to start doing park on because its my goal.
I’m from upstate NY so there is barely any powder during the season, so its not a biggie if Eminence is not a good powder board. =D

I got the Eminence finally! Love the board. I rode a 152 b-pro before. Way way too big and heavy for me. The Eminence BTX that I am riding is 147 and I love its skinnier size. I have 7 size feet super wide stance. Eminence allow me to have wide stance (feels wider than b-pro same size) and faster turns (Skinnier). Love it in powder. Took it to whistler last weekend, had no problem going down 3 -4 feet powder Peek to Creek powder run. My bf was riding a regular camber. I came out in much better shape than he was.

[…] I've heard the B-street and the Ollie Pop are pretty similar, but the B-street and Eminence are exactly the same. Here is Shayboarder's review of the Eminence, in which she mentions the B-street: Snowboard Review: 08-09 Roxy Eminence BTX – Shayboarder.com. […]

Hi Shay!

I ended up with the Roxy Eminence BTX- 147. Love it. I ride mostly in VT and it was perfect for both the super icy conditions and when we finally got some powder towards the end of our trip. I wear a size 6 1/2, so it's def. stable and wide enough for me. Its so much lighter than the board I had before too. I can't wait to ride it again next week.

Love your blog, by the way. So SIA was a good time?! :)

Either way you are getting mtx, it’s just deciding if you want the reverse camber. What style of riding do you do and your experience riding? What was the board you had before?

Hi Shay,

I’m a beginner/intermediate rider and am torn between the Eminence BTX vs MTX. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the reverse camber but wasn’t sure it’s right for me. I like the magnetraction for it’s (supposedly) control, and the reverse camber for the (again supposedly) reduced edge catching and ease of initiating turns. I made a mistake of getting a stiffer and larger first board to learn off of, and don’t want to make the same mistake of getting something too advanced for me to handle. Any opinions?

Eminence held up well in the powder but is more of a park board. B-pro is more charging, really stable wider board. What size boots are you rocking and where do you ride?

I’m so torn between the Roxy Eminence BTX and the Gnu B-PRO BTX. I read both of your reviews.. I want an all-mountain board that is good in powder but I can still learn park with. Which one would you recommend??
