I have one sitting in my closet right now still new in the wrapper. But I also have a Danny Kass BTX. Now sure which one I'm gonna keep. Havent ridden a BTX yet (yeah, so i'm not really much help).

But I do have an 07/08 Riders Choice MTX that I absolutely love it. The magnetraction is no small feature. Makes a big diff in icy conditions here on the east coast. I expect the BTX to be even better.

Your unlikely to get much feedback on this board as it is new for this year and most people haven't started there season yet. There was a limited release at the end of last season so maybe some of those people could chime in. Shayboarder.com has a review of it on her website.

I rode it wednesday. The tip and tail are dead for pop its pretty craptacular. It is softer than the old regular mtx version but nothing special.

I like the TRS, Dark Series, Temple Billy Goat. All non banana as I haven't been on the banana versions yet. But frankly Mervin has a hype train and thats about it going for them.
