What? This is still/back on the market ? I'd just gotten this outta my head.
It's still here because it's waiting for you!

Bump. $325 for the combo, shipped in the continental US.

Hi Sandy, Just seeing this now. PM me and remind me where you're located. Many thanks.
-
Bump. Feel free to make offers.

Hi All, Picked these up a few years ago and they're just collecting dust. Better they get ridden!:
Tanker 172cm (2002/2003) --full camber, new in plastic. Tiny bit of shop wear on the nose. It's a beauty! ($300 shipped in US) - AVAILABLE
Rad Air RS4 Bindings- new with tags (discs included, but no mounting screws) ($50 & shipping in US) - SOLD
-
-
PM sent. I'll be second in line. Too tough to pass this up. I have some gear to unload anyway--including some softy carvers--which should more than justify the cost ;)

What rider weight was this built for?

A thread back from the dead! Just curious, how did you like the APO?
-
Wow, great board. Good score Big Canuck. If for any reason the sale falls through, I respectfully stand second in line.

Hmm, I just sold one of these and I'm pretty sure the waist was closer to 25cm, maybe even a touch below. I know the Tankers sized in the "7's" 167, 187 etc. were wide waist models. The "2's" were narrower. I also had 172's from successive years, and this year was even slightly narrower from the next, when they switched from the Elan to the Volkl factory. Bottom line, solid board.
-
Hey Shred, care to give your riding impressions of this board? Super stiff? Unforgiving?
-
Nice. Glad you're liking the Vampire Wing and spreading the Tanker love around, Dave. (Kind of wish I hadn't offloaded two of those 172's now that they're out of production!)
Curious if a shorter board could have the same feel, or whether that combo of long effective edge and softer flex is really the core of what makes a Tanker feel like a Tanker. Had my 182 out at Stratton yesterday and was amazed at how it ate up the golfball ice chunks. Calm, composed, subtle power.

Good to see some activity here again. Been a weird winter, indeed. Hope to see some of you up at ECES (I'll likely be there on Wed or Thurs), or at the Beast some random weekend before the snow melts.
-
I remember Gore having a ton of long, flat stretches. It's fine if you can avoid them, but take a wrong turn and you're toast. We actually had to dismount and walk with our boards on several occasions--like 10 to 20 minutes worth of walking! Mind you, this was 20 years ago. Things could have changed since then.
-
Nice to hear the Driver X's have stiffened up again--they played with the flex for a few years, dialing them down and making the boot nothing special for carving. The older, stiff Driver X's were wonderful, but they did eventually break down. I imagine incorporating more plastic should help that. Otherwise, the stiffest boot that I've ever found was the old, Deeluxe GTX. (I still have a NOS pair in my closet I plan tor break out one day.) They came with both plastic and metal torsion rods you could insert on the sides!
As for bindings, yeah, it's hard to find ones that are truly stiff. Nidecker Carbons have been my personal fav. Some of the aluminum baseplate/heelcup may work well too.
-
Yup, the Beast needs a bit more time to ripen. Nice to link a few turns today, but it's looking a little sad right now.

Thanks everybody! Thinking I'll stick with the Burton. Turns out it's one of the better regarded kids boards in terms of tech and build. And by the time we have snow, the kid will likely have put on another 5 lbs and an inch.

Hi All,
Trying to buy a softboot board for my nephew who started riding on rentals last year and progressed pretty quickly. The thing is, he's 10 years old, very athletic, but SUPER small. He weighs 50 lbs and is 49.5" and wears a size 1 shoe.
That puts him in the 110cm range, maybe 120, according to most sizing charts. The things is, many of those boards are made for real little kids and often have pretty low quality. I found him a Burton Smalls Flying V 135 at a local swap that I picked up because I liked the construction and design (soft, non-cap, flat camber, nose and tail rocker), but I'm wondering if I should keep looking? It would be a few cm's over his head (which is about a head shorter than most kids his age.) Any thoughts?
-
Whoa! What is this world coming to? End of an era. The Beast will still be great, but definitely not the same.
Best of luck to you in your new adventures, Mark!
PS- Though I'm not on hard boots these days, happy to drag out the big Tanker and crank a few turns with anyone interested this winter.
-
Thanks everyone. I have a few offers on the Tanker (sent via PM) pending. Should be sold soon.
-
Glad to see all the replies while I was away. Just held this board up next to the 02/03 version with sidewalls. Not surprisingly (I guess), the cap version feels a bit lighter. Oddly, it feels more solid too.
