  1. I tested some Virus boards...

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Come to Sölden (Austria) this coming weekend and test some of the new Virus boards, like the Stingray Evo III or the new Black Death III :D

    Seems a good group of people is getting together this weekend to get the season started :biggthump

    I am sure happy to join in as well. Need to get an early start on these so not Aspen conditions :o

  2. Virus WorldCup UPM GS Board

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    New Board from Frank: the WorldCup UPM GS Board

    Specs: length 186 cm , width 19.9 cm parabolic sidecut

    Materials used: This ist he latest technology carvon kevlar titanium construction.

    Looks like I have to testride this baby to look/feel if it will fit my quiver :cool::eplus2:

    Hans, I saw this or a similar one (not 100% sure) last weekend when I visited Virus. I sure like to try it, as well as the new UFC narrow and Black Death!!!

    ... and as I said in another post, now is time to make use of the (still) weak(er) EUR (who knows what will happen to the USD or the EUR!)

    I believe Virus sells the Worldcup UPM in the US for $1200 shipped as a pre-season special :eek:

  4. UPZ Hardboots 2010/2011

    The spring system seems to have much less travel compared to a BTS. It seems a much stiffer boot because of that, a bit like unmodified Head Stratos boots, is this true? Did anyone replace the springs with a BTS or something similar?

    I also rode the RC10 with the mechanism open and the amount of possible flex seems not less vs. my Deeluxe Track 325 with BTS which I consider a very soft boot with lots of possible forward flex…

    After testing the RC10 and RC8 during the Carving Masters I decided to finally switch from Deeluxe to UPZ!

    Wolfgang (UPZ) just puts so much effort into his products and the fact that he is listening to “us” and puts "our" suggestions (if they make sense) actually into production wants me to be even more supportive. When I tried the RC10 vs. my Deeluxe it felt like I was wearing a sneaker, the weight difference is just insane! Perfect flex pattern and super fit.

    I will end up with the Virus edition of a RC10 (w/ soft tongue) for the carving machines and the ATB for riding my Virus La Glisse Powder Guns.

    On a different note, do you guys realize that buying a Virus board in Germany now and paying with USD puts Virus pretty much “on sale”! I heard of a few guys who already made use of the weak Euro and Frank was knocking off even more $$$ to be in the price neighborhood of North American manufactures. Thought to mention this, because it was said in the past that Franks boards are too/sooo expensive. NOT the case. If in doubt give him a call ;)

    Cheers from Switzerland

    Oh man, sorry to hear! Heal fast!!!

    My season not over yet. Just got back from Soelden, Austria today. Heading back Friday and for the Carving Masters end of this month. That will be it for me/us for this season. Cheers!!!

  18. For sale: Virus Avalanche 162cm “FLP”

    John, I rode it in about 5” of pow and soft groomers. Very smooth and easy to control in the pow due to the lightweight, especially at high speeds.

    Carving the groomers was totally effortless and fun, also at higher speeds! I like for all my freeride boards to be stable at high speeds and to also carve well on groomers, but unfortunately this FLP comes too close to my Virus "La Glisse" for what I use it, and, the fact that I am over packed for my flight back to Europe, I made the decision to let it go now.

    FYI, someone is up for a treat and will grap this for a really great price ;)

    SOLD!

    This board is in absolute great condition; I received it back in November and rode it only once!!! The reason I would give it up is, it is very close to my other powder board and the La Glisse, which I also only ride when it has a good amount of pow on the ground and my narrow sticks just dive away :o
