Good question.
For this season, I've been lucky enough to try several metal, de-cambered, hammerhead boards. I shouldn't expect the Virus to behave like that but well.. When I do hit same trails on some not-ideal condition, I couldn't help me not to compare the Virus with those decks.
Then, I took it to trails where BX board should be, and then, I felt it. very stable runs on both tight turns and wider runs. and was solid. I guess I'm in love with metal/new shape boards after all.
