ursle Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 More serious, have read somewhere that too much sunlight does no good to Zylon, but may be that isn't true. That's what I was referring to, it does, but the zylon has to be raw(open to the air and suns rays), the urethane or whatever finish on the top of the board will keep the sun from touching the zylon so its OK. It's not like an afterthought adding it to the top of a MADD:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 @Pogo: Buying a Virus Gladiator II Zylon Evo III + living in Curacao = decadence .. I bet it confuses the **** out of the customs guys at the airport too! Can't remember there being too much in the way of snowboarding there.

Hans Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 What I know from the FB forum is that the board is in Germany waiting for snow So that's even worse: I can see it, you in the Dutch Antilles and your dream board somewhere on the other end of the world. Didn't know people just could tease themselves that way...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogokoenig Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's not even the customs guys. It is more about: How can I explain the check-in girl, that I take this thing to Curacao as sports equipment? "How many pieces of luggage do you have?" "1 piece and this .. eeehm ... snowboard ...as sports equipment" "okay, one piece and a surfboard." "Not surfboard! Snowboard!" "Sorry Sir. You wanna bulls..t me?" "Nope" "I do not accept this. Makes 200 euros for bulky items." "But I have my swimming goggles in there as well." "Why didn't you tell me before? Okay 20 Euros for sports equipment." "Thanks" Hans: No prob, with the teasing. I have plenty to do here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Wow, nice finishing touch, congrats Ray. We must organise a VIRUS 'SLAYER' weekend with all these beauties around. As for the "congrats" go they sure belong to Frank. Yes, I really wanted it this way, but Frank put the extra work and skills into it and delivered a design masterpiece! Everyone who saw it so far says, too nice to put in the snow. Yea right So, why not make it a week or even longer and you come to Aspen next Feb. As it seems there will be a nice group of crazy Euro riders coming together again, now that will be fun! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogokoenig Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes, but don't show up with this ugly thing. niceveeerynice My girlfriend edit says: The model year written on the virus boards is 2011 but this is the board porn thread for 2012. That means to me: 1. I need to check, what's written on my own board. 2. Frank sold us the leftovers from last year 3. Ray, Hans and probably myself have to get outta here with these boards.

Do you really care what it says on the board? Hmm, mine was built in '11, it is '11, I am totally cool with that. It MUST kick arse, all what counts! And even more importantly, you pack your stuff in time and make it out to Aspen so we have some fun ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
