  1. Hey Carp, May I get a copy too? is this still for 13$ to california? thanks,
  2. Always wanted to try one of these....but the total costs (especially the shipping part) takes it outta my 'experimenting' zone.
  3. what's the length on this skwall?
  4. Burton for the past three seasons and they are still like new. Indeed, Burton clothes are much better than their hardware.
  5. I do the Crayon method too, works great!
  6. Interesting points John.

    Ready to carve, You are right. I'm sorry for the bad vibe I might have sent into the forum. I'll just think about snow from now on.

    wave..., Thanks for the tip and your help. I'll be a nuthead and try it here first for this price, if they don't sell for the price I asked then I will preach some B.S. about market forces and supply and demand blah blah and insist another month or two. If they still don't sell, then I will erase this thread and start all over again so that all the feedback will be erased and I can aim at new potential buyers. I may do that another 3 or 4 times. If they still don't sell (god forbid because this is so worth it of course )then I will sell them for half the price I originally asked (after all the deductions) on ebay. Who knows perhaps even the village's idiot may come to my aid and back me on this crusade. Guess where I learned that?

  12. see if you find the disks you are looking for here: http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=10067
  13. Cool, I am heading up to squaw tomorrow and will take the tantalus to Granite chief in Truckee for a tune. The rest of the weekend I will be at kirkwood. Love to see this stealth from up close. Others may disagree but I would not hesitate to experiment with the bindings, positioned away from the center and towards the back of the board.

    heel and toe plates + universal cant and center piece are SOLD.
  15. Paul, The cateks work just fine for me on my Virus. I did try Burton physics on Virus as well but needless to say that cateks are far more solid and superior. On WCR I started with TD2s (should have started with what I know ((cateks)) as you did, but I was too lazy to take them off Virus) and I like TD2s too. I've only had 2 days on TD2 but I can't say I detect any major difference between cateks and bombers. Both are just solid, state of the art bindings. One thing I noticed with Virus is that in the middle of the carve, you can shift your weight on the board and effectively change the turn into a tighter or a bigger one. With WCR I get "locked" in a turn with a determined radius and I have to commit to the turn as is. Again this may be just "me" and I am not an expert on this. I ride 63/63 on Virus and 63/60 on WCR. The latter I might change since I've had only 2 days on them.
  16. I am just a recreational rider with a limited knowledge of board and technique. All I know is that I lasted longer on this board for any rational reason one may come up with. Yes we did have hero snow on that day and yes I did have cereal for breakfast so all possibilities are wide open.
  17. Rode the metal WCR yesterday. Simply amazing. Very light weight, so I could carve a full hour above my normal limit for the morning (4 hours instead of the usual 3). Very very smooth and friendly ride. It carves deep even at medium speed. Can't wait to try it again in a few days. Thanks Chris for the Great Job on my titanal.
  18. Three things I could totally relate to: 1. Virus likes to go fast to perform at its best 2. Physically a (more)demanding board ( I can say that comfortably, now that I got my Prior metal WCR to compare it with). 3. Virus takes you to another level
  19. I think it's good to keep the products review updated in any case.
  20. In life, there are tons of time for 'self expression' and 'fun',...but only a very few rare moments to compete with the best of the best and win the ultimate gold medal. Not to forget that even the opportunity itself happens for a few people only. I hope she wins a gold medal in the next olympic and leaves this sad moment behind but then again as someone rightfully pointed out; there will be many new talents by then to compete against. Usually olympic medal winners get good commercial contracts once they return to homeland. I wonder what kind of commercials she may get.
  21. Thanks Istvan, Running length of the virus is some 6 cm longer than the prior. and of course Virus's waist is 2.4 cm more on diet. They were both made for my weight but prior's flex definitely feels (by pushing with my hand) softer. Overall SCR of virus is per number close to the WCR but since virus uses multiple scr's in the same board, it's hard to compare the two (at least for me). Chris Houghton may be able to explain this better. I was very happy with the virus, but I was looking for a board that would carve deep at lower speed. Don't know whether WCR metal is going to deliver it but I am sure it won't be a disappointment either. As for Kessler and Tomahawk, need to learn more about them and then who knows.
