wingnuts514 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just wanted to give an official hello first post. I have been prowling the classifieds for acouple weeks looking for a tanker 200 with no luck! My name is Eric and I have been riding a Salomon Definiton 156 with flow bindings since 2002 up here in Idaho. Well back when i bought that board I weighed about 155lbs and all I wanted to do was slide rails, etc. well these days I just love cruising and floating in the powder. And now I'm 6ft 215lbs so the tanker 200 seems like it would be a blast for me. Anyways, nobody rides alpine around here so I am pretty much a noob and the only way I'm gonna find out what it's like is diving in and buying a board. Seems like a great group of guys on here and Iwould appreciate any suggestions. thanks, eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
