dingbat Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 About an 8.;) Try the Volkl website. It's all flash. Just click the RT and specs are at the bottom of the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 8, huh? the sidecut radius is 12.5m. Note, that number is a hair larger than the largest radius turn the board will carve. http://www.bomberonline.com/store/boards/volkl_renntiger.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 12.5 is the new 8m eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Who said anything about sidecut? 12.5 is the new 12.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASMAN Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 thanks for the feed back.. i guess being form Canada you were trying to convert from cm - inches for me??? :-) ..... the board i picked up must a few years older, cause it does not have the graphics that the new version does. it is just straight black. do you think the specs wold still be the same? i cant seem to stop this bad boy from wanting to go straight down the hill !!! it just wants to go FAST............

Corey Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 A 178 GS is my favourite board when conditions are decent (for reference I'm 205 lbs). Try moving your bindings a little bit forward of the center of the inserts. I have mine shifted about 2 cm forward of center, it made a nice difference. Be confident, tip it high on edge, load the nose, and feed the board forward under you through the turn, and hold on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree -- I did the same it made a great difference.. I ride the 178 that has the Orange Tiger. great board!~!! Between that and my Prior 179 4X4 -- I am a happy red wine and red Corvette Lover.
