Hotbeans Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 hehe..anyone have one in pristine condition they'd like to part with? Quote
Chris Houghton Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Perhaps Frank brought a demo to SES that you can make a deal on at the end of the week? Quote
cail Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 how about a Virus Tantalus Team Edition? lot of fun to ride http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=23370&highlight=tantalus Quote
Hotbeans Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 Cail, interesting offer and I may consider that board. Chris, I really wish I were at SES this year! Are you out there? (Good idea, def..) off to work.. Quote
*Ace* Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I would make a stab at the Tantalus. It is the same exact specs as the Gladiator except it doesn't have a 3D topsheet. I think you actually might have some trouble getting it out of Cail's paws... Quote
Hotbeans Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 Yeh, possibly. I have a WCR that I suspect is closer in personality to the tantalus than the gladiator. I wouldnt mind a test ride, though.... Quote
Chris Houghton Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I've ridden both boards, HUGE difference in ride. The Tantalus is quite friendly, where the Gladiator is more, um, performance oriented. I mean that in a good way! Specs alone do not tell the whole story. Quote
John H Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I've also ridden both boards. I liked the Team Tantalus more than the Gladiator. Quote
*Ace* Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I bet almost EVERY Virus rides differently. It all depends on whats in it and the the flex. I've ridden both boards, HUGE difference in ride. The Tantalus is quite friendly, where the Gladiator is more, um, performance oriented. I mean that in a good way! Specs alone do not tell the whole story. Quote
Hotbeans Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Posted February 14, 2009 I just got back from 6.5hrs of freakin' perfect railing conditions. WCR makes me laugh with what it can do.. it can rail tight salolm arcs and tail-pop me into the air during transitions..or..laid out EC...or..sweeping, hands skimming 2" off the deck, gs carves. After a day like today, I'm wondering just how much a Gladiator, tantalus or whatever can offer above what I've got:1luvu:. Quote
