Zanci Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Do you ride it with hardboots or softboots? I will probably order a new 182 this week, so asking for your opinion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Do you ride it with hardboots or softboots?I will probably order a new 182 this week, so asking for your opinion :) Over the years both, last couple years , hardboots only. Are you heavy? Know that the newer lighter Tankers have seen an increase in damages with heavier hardboot riders. Just an FYI. The 2003 model holds up the best IMO.

bobdea Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Do you ride it with hardboots or softboots?I will probably order a new 182 this week, so asking for your opinion :) I'm pretty adamant in saying that they work best with softboots if you use them for what they are marketed as and that being a pow, woods, chop and corn slayer. I ride the wide models, some people ride the narrow ones with plates but I think these are usually people who don't ride softboots on anything.

Zanci Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 im pretty light, 80 kg with gear. I got some f2 freestyle stepins, but the boot is bad and they dont make new boots. I rather ride it with hardboots, 182 2010 model. I'd use it for powder and carve on the slopes, ofcourse. I'd rather go with the new model, since it's rockered.

Zanci Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The shipping is just too much, and I probably get the tanker much cheaper ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The shipping is just too much, and I probably get the tanker much cheaper ;)you'd be surprised on the shipping. the killer is any import fees you'd have to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buell Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The rockered Tankers are great and unique boards! I put up my thoughts about my 172 here. I say go for it. Their construction does seem to be a bit light for hardboots though. If you use hardboots, make sure you use a softer flexing binding.

I remember Sean saying he gives euros a deal of some sort that makes VAT and shipping hurt a lot less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelsch42 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 ... I ride the wide models, some people ride the narrow ones with plates but I think these are usually people who don't ride softboots on anything. I ride a 192 (the skinny one at 24cm) in softies. I'm a lightweight at about 165lbs. I'm ready to put one more year on this board before I look at a Tanker200; or something custom from Sean or Bruce. It's my everyday, go anywhere board. After three years of trying I'm still confident I haven't pushed this thing to the limits yet. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
