MUD Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 173x21 VSR I still can't get over the shape of this thing. Sorry for the cell phone pic, to lazy to find my digital camera. NICE! I can't wait to see it Erik. Looks like we are going to have a few Coilers in the local mix this year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 The UPS man made my day today, and Bruce definately outdid himself on this 2010 AMT 176.

Algunderfoot Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nice stick Al! Are you bringing it to SES this year? "Stick" That's no way to talk to a shapely lady like this! Yes I will be bringing three of the girls out this year Diamond, Biera, and Desire'. Hopefully they will keep me from wanting anything else for a few seasons!

Ray Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ok, here’s my Freeride stick. Virus Avalanche FLP (F**king Light Project), 162cm, weighs in at 2.54kg = 5.6 lbs! http://www.virus-snowsports.com/en/products/freeride/avalanche_flp/fr_flp_62 And since I just packed up for Aspen, received my “Blings” back from a friend who polished them for me (he had a machine), I took some more pics... After all it’s the Board Porn Thread… :) Evo I, II and III Some people asked for the difference between the Evolution I, II and III. All three have some sort of different construction and I don't know exactly what the diff is ;)but one big difference is the camber for sure. The picture shows my 3 Cyborgs, the one in the very front is the Evo I, second behind the Evo II and last the Evo III. The pictures says it all! Funny is, when I first rode my Evo I, I believed I am riding an insane agressive board... That's probably why it's called "Evolution".

Hans Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ray, you are really sick. All those people you have infected here by all those VIRUS's. I hope you have a good insurance. Think of all the claims you get. Let me know how that Cyborg EVO III rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algunderfoot Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ok, here’s my Freeride stick. Virus Avalanche FLP (F**king Light Project), 162cm, weighs in at 2.54kg = 5.6 lbs! Step away from the glass Ray, slowly step away. Since depleteing my board quiver slush fund I'm going to need a restraining order on you my friend, please keep those temptresses at least 50 meters away from me at all times this year. Pehaps if I start saving today, I'll be able to swing an Evo V. I'd call her "Luv cup" FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ray, you have 3 Cyborgs? And they call me sick just coz I have 2 Zylon Gladiators..... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ray, you have 3 Cyborgs? And they call me sick just coz I have 2 Zylon Gladiators..... :lol: Istvan, you can't count. He has four! This picture is missing the ZYLON version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well, one more.... Ray, how do you decide which board to take with you? Before someone asked: my Virus collection consists of boards with different characteristics (well, except for the 2 Gladis), so before hitting the slope I decide which one would suit the best the prevailing conditions. But how do you decide between 4 Cyborgs? Color matching your pants? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommaso2k Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 @IStvan my friend i told you many times you need to buy a new board this season. You have the same equipment for a long time now. Either you are getting old and settled or you run out of money :lol: I expect an immediate purchase from you sir, look at Ray to get inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've ordered a Connelly Prophecy (water) ski for warmer days... does that count? And yes, I do need some inspiration... already asked our friend Tom if he could bring a few toys to Zinal where I could test them properly. And unfortunately also yes for the remaining 2: I've got old and also ran out of money. How else could it be working for a bank saved (and hence lead) by Mr 'bama..... Later, a poor banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 a poor banker There aren't any poor bankers, that's why we are in a crisis right now because their pockets are loaded with our money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekdut Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ray, you are out of control, as usual! Those are beauties. I'm sure they are all mind blowing rides. Right now my new (well new to me) board is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" according to tracking. The anticipation is killing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 If I would match the boards to my pants, they would all be simple black Now seriously, all these “Cyborgs” have totally different riding characteristics. When I got used to my first Cyborg, the Zylon and switched to the Evo I, I first thought it was 10cm longer and had a much bigger SCR… When switching to the EVO II (during the last SES) same thing, felt like a 200cm+ board first, with much more snap/pop, took me at least 20 days to get it dialed in the way I want it… actually to the end of the season, last day, I remember Copper Bowl, all of the sudden, OMG heaven here I come!!! So now with the Evo III, no idea yet, the camber scares me. I have to be really careful and it will be very strange at first… Kinda like breaking in a good horse! I sure could just by a totally different model and get a totally different ride that way, but I strongly believe I found “my” personal best shape of a board and therefore can really fine-tune with just the materials being used… so far so good, every board Frank built for me was a new challenge, but after a while a fantastic experience… Setting my personal bar higher and higher, that’s what I am after… Cheers! Oh, and btw, if someone is interested, I am giving up my “Zylon” while in Aspen… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 since I got infected again. The Cyborg (EVO II) is just a hell of board to ride. It's so versatile and when you are dialed in, it's easy to ride (if you are in shape). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 This makes sense Ray. Finding the ultimate Cyborg is an exciting quest. A Cyborg or a UT is also on my radar and looking at you there is a serious chance of getting irreversibly addicted... But don't you feel sometimes that different slopes and conditions (mainly steepness and number of people on the slope) require different boards? Maybe its just me.... but I always have 3-4 boards in the trunk when I go snowboarding and I pick the one that I believe would suit the slope the best on that day.

Algunderfoot Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Per Ray "Oh, and btw, if someone is interested, I am giving up my “Zylon” while in Aspen…" Now why did you have to go and say that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 This makes sense Ray. Finding the ultimate Cyborg is an exciting quest. Oh yes, it sure is :) A Cyborg or a UT is also on my radar and looking at you there is a serious chance of getting irreversibly addicted... Go for it, you will love it! But don't you feel sometimes that different slopes and conditions (mainly steepness and number of people on the slope) require different boards? Not at all, I have great days and really sick days on my Cyborg(s) :D Yea, I switch between them depending how the conditions are. Soft snow, or tired, Evo I, hard and fast, Evo II... now Evo III, just moving all up the ladder a notch ... Maybe its just me.... but I always have 3-4 boards in the trunk when I go snowboarding and I pick the one that I believe would suit the slope the best on that day. Sure, me too, Avalanche or La Glisse for powder, Cyborg(s) for the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Softcarver Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ray let me know how you like that Avalanche FLP after you ride it if you don't mind. I just bought a Nidecker Megalight for this season, but there's always next year. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
