oldkey Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Certainly the GS version of the Metal is an awesome board, especially in ice and ruts. How do you think a WCR slalom would ride in a Metal? The same? I wonder why Chris doesn't offer that configuration? Has anyone ever ordered such an animal?

Chris Houghton Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Also a lot more stress I would think, would be harder to keep it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkey Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 ....is 135 lbs. His current WCR 155 was made softer....and it really absorbs crud well.....at least seeming to allow him to not get tossed out of rutted courses. We kinda thought that a typically configured Metal would do the same. Are you suggesting Chris and Kent that for SL a damp board is a bad idea? The most noticeable "new" thing at RTTC this year was the number of Metal Kesslers - though certainly a different board, I only heard rave reviews. Thought that a SL Metal Prior might be the answer to a Kessler now, with hopes of a used Kessler when possible. Looks like I need to understand the physics better......

D.T. Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Maybe there is a trick to making a Titanal slalom board, but Kessler and Nidecker both make them. Call Chris and ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 kessler makes them and people certainly do like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkey Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 ...my question is should I have one made? The kessler SL boards do work well.....would a Prior Metal be comparable.....or much softer, I wonder? My son rides a softer WCR race now and loves it.....just needs a longer one. Thought that stepping up to the Metal in a SL configuration would be easier than trying to actually get a Kessler this season. But....am I comparing apples to oranges?
