WinterGold Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nice rides, Wintergold. When will you get on the snow? Our local resorts (not too high) normally open by the end of November or beginning of December, but right now it is far too warm (10°C/50°F). So it doesn´t look very promising for the near future. Next glacier would be a 4 hours ride ... so this might be an option (if I get too desperate ...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogokoenig Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Sure thing, will do. First, see ya in Soelden :) Nope, but very likely in Aspen. I now live on your side of the Atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortcutToMoncton Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I went full metal for this season :D. Haven´t ridden any of these yet :( ...There is an Apex TheFast 163 SL, a Kessler KST 162 SL and a Kessler KST 185 GS (with Vist plate). Great line-up! I'd love to hear a riding comparison of the Apex and the Kessler... cool to see both standing side-by-side; looks like Kessler managed to squeeze a little more effective edge out of a slightly shorter board, which is exactly one of the things he's known for! It'd be cool to see their camber profiles as well. :) greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be cool to see their camber profiles as well. :)greg The Kessler definitely has a longer effective edge. Also the Apex´s tail is rounder. It will be interesting whether the board will be more forgiving because of that ... About the camber profiles - the Apex has 11mm of camber (with plate and bindings mounted) and the Kessler 162 has about 12mm of camber (with bindings only) - so it is about the same and pretty standard for raceboards I think. They also have the same thickness (core profile). Here are two pictures of the nose profiles without being pressured in the middle - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 And one more thing - I found the shape of the tails, especially of the Kessler GS 185, interesting. They are quite decambered a bit ... Here is a picture of the tail of the Kessler GS 185 when slightly pressured in the middle (pushed down a bit by hand) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I rode the Virus Chimera for the first time today at Abasin. :1luvu: I think all the searching for the perfect board may be over for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterGold Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 @ursle - very nice ride . Are you going to use the center screws of your Vist plate? Or does the setup stay this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 If the board had been built with the inserts for Hangl plates I would use the center screws, it wasn't so I'm using the binding inserts, it won't hit the snow till there's lot's of it (you mean Vist - not Hangl, right?) Have you seen the video explaining the Vist plate. It shouldn´t be too difficult to add the center screws and that´s the way the plate is supposed to be mounted. But maybe it works that way as well ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterGold Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hangle requires inserts on the sides?(haven't had one in my hands)Vist mounts to the binding inserts, if the side inserts were there it could be mounted to them also, but there are only two and the binding inserts would have to be used also, not a chance of me drilling into this board, no haven't seen the video, got a link? I´m not sure I can follow you exactly . The video is here on Bomber - http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=26578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 It was Ann's birthday today. It was coincidental that the board she won at SES last year showed up on the front porch. I wonder if she'll let me ride it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortcutToMoncton Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 NSR 185. 198mm waist, "CST" sidecut. DAMN that is a gorgeous topsheet! Custom, or a new "Coiler" stock? Now all we need to do is design Bruce a stylish new logo... although I really don't think he gives a rat's *** anyway, given the number of logo-less anonymous Coilers in this thread.... :D greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
