  1. VIRUS SCALPEL 180 in great conditions, $550.00 shipped in the continental US only (paypal friend/family no fees) around 25 days of use and mostly half days, waist is 21.5 cm. the Virus sidecut is always a mystery but I’m guessing around 12m. average, usual lift line marks on the top sheet but the base looks great and was never ground, the edges are sharp, there is wax on the base just scrape it and it’s ready to rip, not as stiff as your average Virus, just a great all mountain carver with great edge hold, one time I used it in 10-12 inches of fresh snow over hard pack and I didn’t have any problem, I’m not riding as much as I used to and I didn’t use it at all for the last 3 years, the top sheet color looks different depending on the light and reflection and you can polish the top sheet to a mirror finish if you want

  2. Hi Lance, I received the board today and I am looking at it right now, looks good to me, the base looks flat and smooth ( no funky grind spots) the edges are sharp and straight (no accidental magnetraction to be seen) the top doesn't have a scratch on it, it looks like a brand new board with no visible defects and it came with a sealed plastic sleeve, I won't be able to try it until next season.

    Is it possible that the first one you got was a demo or a prototype or just some kind of mistake? did you already get the second board and does it look as bad as the first one or does it look like a new board should look?

    not sure if they come in different stiffness but the one i got feels pretty stiff overall and just slightly softer at the nose (probably because it's thinner at the nose) I don't know how well they ride but I am getting another one just because it's so cheap, it will be good as a loaner or rock board and if it turns out to be good and fun even better, for $82.66 shipped you can maybe get a used and beat up 20 years old snowboard, just saying

  3. I won one of those on ebay for $50.00 plus $32.66 for shipping and they sent me a message asking if I wanted to buy more, apparently they have about 30 they need to sell and this is what they said

    You can use coupon code ebayaxer at americangearcompany.com for the same deal if you wish.

    I am in no way affiliated with them but if you want to get the same deal feel free to try and see if the coupon works, even if you just need a rock board or a loaner you really can't beat that deal $82.66 shipped

While we can make the argument that used equipment is readily available at a reasonable in the classifieds section of this forum, do any board makers offer an entry level Alpine board? Something under $300? Boots/bindings available at $100 a piece? A price competitive with the lower end softie set-ups you can pick up at most sports stores. $700+ for a board alone is a hell of an investment just to try something. That might be part of the reason only high-end shops continue to stock the stuff.

  5. Bomber Carving Community

    Welcome to the Bomber Carving Community.

    I just checked the site again to make sure and it still says "Bomber Carving Community" it doesn't say "Bomber hardbooting Community"

    I ride both, it's good to know I'm still allowed here on those days I ride on softboots

  6. i switched to TD3 SW step in and i couldn't be happier, you have all the benefits of the Sidewinders with the convenience of step in, i started the season on them and never looked back, i didn't try standard SW and step in SW back to back so i really can't tell you if the step in are any stiffer then the standard, they did not feel stiff to me and because they have the side to side flexibility i don't think step in would be stiffer then standard, by the way, i use them with blue E-rings and i'm 215 before breakfast (maybe somebody tried them both back to back and can chime in)

  7. 1 set of 2 TD2 4 hole center discs with mounting screws, plus a set of well used yellow elastometers $ 30.00 shipped in the continental US only

    the yellow elastometers have a small crack but they are still useable, if you have 2 cant discs you have yourself a second board kit

    1 set of TD2 toe bails with clips (standard bindings, not step in) $25.00 shipped in the continental US only

    or take everything for $ 50.00 shipped in the continental US only

  8. TD3/2 HYBRID STEP IN BINDINGS $ 240.00 shipped in the continental US only

    here are the details:

    TD3 base, blue E-rings, 3 degree cant disc, 6 degree cant disc, 4 hole center discs

    1 TD3 binding plate

    1 TD2 binding plate

    TD3 stainless steel receivers

    TD2 front bails

    everything works as it should, very little wear on the receivers

    if you want an extra TD3 second board kit (blue E-rings, 3 degree cant disc, 6 degree cant disc, 4 hole center discs, mounting screws) make it $ 330.00 for everything shipped in the continental US only
