Skwalleur Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just ordered a 161 Speedcross as it seemed similar in spec to Joergs #Two Purecarving board I tested during the Swedish Sessions a couple of weeks ago. Anyone ridden both and compared? I loved the #Two in the conditions we had (http://forum.alpinepunk.com/photos/default.aspx) and had loads of fun on it, but'll probably have to save up for it... And I guess they're out for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I own both and the #2 is light years ahead of the Speedcross for all mountain carving. To me, the Speedcross feels like a too narrow freestyle board, compared to the #2. The 2 has bit more tip for powder, stiffer waist for holding an edge, more camber, more lively feel, but still a very forgiving and stable ride. The Speedcross, in comparison feels soft and a bit twitchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwalleur Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thanks. A bit how I reckoned. I'll just have to get Joerg's baby for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I haven't ridden the #2 but I have ridden the 168 f2 speedcross and I loved it. I didn't find it twitchy at all but then the longer length may have made the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Teddo, you should have let me know that you were after wider board at HBU, i tought you were pure Skwal guy. You should have tested Pen Blackjack :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwalleur Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Teddo, you should have let me know that you were after wider board at HBU, i tought you were pure Skwal guy. You should have tested Pen Blackjack :rolleyes: Hey Pokkis! Of course I'm the Skwal guy, but firstly a carver Don't know If I was just after wider, just something new to evolve with in different directions. I sure know my new Thias will make me improve as a Skwalleur and since I had so much fun on the #two I was just looking for something new (until I could get my hands on the #two). The Afterburners are too little action for my taste, how would you compare them to the Pen? All Skwalling put aside, the Silverpfeil remails my favorite beeing narrow and lively.

pokkis Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Titanal boards are from different worl compared to non-metal boards, ok Tinklers are another issue. Sad that you could not participate Oppdal session cause there i had all my toys. You would have loved Tinkie. Perhaps next year at week 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwalleur Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 What was the name of that metal Virus I rode? Not my board at all compared to the silver/black faded one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
