  10. Burton parts

    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? :biggthump

    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.

    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

  22. Spoiler Alert - Women's Olympic BX

    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.

    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.
