Jesal Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I don't know what it's like to get infected. But I am dying to find out. Fedex delivered a nice thin package today, courtesy of Shred. Got it all mounted and ready to go. This is my first Virus so I am excited to see what this infection everyone is talking about :lol: Is there a cure once infected? Or is it all downhill (hopefully) from here ? Happy Turkey Day Everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Tat Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Sweet looking ride. Are you bringing that out to NES? It will fit right in with the red jacket and black pants look everyone had going last year. :) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a fee to join? No fees. Post on the thread that you are coming, and then watch the thread as it approaches for timings. It's pretty typically been three days of riding at Nakiska, people meet in the lodge around 9-9:30, then we go out and ride together for the day. Typically Riceball has had everyone over to his place on Saturday evening for pizza (chip in) to hang out and look at pictures of the days riding. Lots of fun, its a great place to meer other riders, get pointers from people if you want them, and you get to hang out with 15-20 hardbooters. Dave.

poutanen Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Did you get out on the Virus today? I was at LL there was fantastic snow, if a little (or a lot) rocky in sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordering your own new personalized one from Frank makes you giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. I ordered my first from frank a couple weeks ago. He said he was making them (I had a little group buy) last week, so knowing my premium handmade freeride stick is sitting in Germany is MAKING ME CRAZY!!! :D It feels like xmas and birthdays all put together, of course my wallet is a little lighter but...

My buddy went to Louis last weekend and wrecked his board, he wasn't too happy. I'll probably go next weekend and finally ride this virus.

arneburner Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nice board. You may want to consider putting a lexan plate (1/4 inch) or another type of plate between the Bomber Bindings and the board. Although not as fragile as a Kessler; I have seen Virus boards destroyed (inserts pulled out and top sheet pulled up) by Bomber Bindings. I use either a lexan plate, a Vist Plate or a Kessler K-Plate Speed (copy) on my Virus Boards and have not had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Tat Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have seen Virus boards destroyed (inserts pulled out and top sheet pulled up) by Bomber Bindings. Was this a recent board with TD3 bindings like Jesal has on it? Or was this on older board with a metal topsheet and TD1s? I'm 215 lbs and use TD3s SIs with UPZ RTRs on a 2006/2007 Prior 187 WCRM (metal top) one season of riding (I got this last year), a 2009 Coiler Schubby (metal is a sub layer) three seasons of riding, and a 2010 Donek Incline (Fiberglass) two seasons with UPZ ATBs. I've averaged >25 days a year only on hardboots and have yet to see any damage to the inserts or the board. Additionally I've made some respectable jumps and runs through moguls on the Schtubby and I even took the Incline off the headwall at Standish for about 18' of vertical drop which I guarantee loaded the heck out off the inserts. I asked Bruce about this when I originally bought the Schtubby and he said with the newer Bomber bindings it wasn't an issue anymore. While my experience my not be the same as Jesal will have with his Virus; other than binding suck, which I got the first time I actually put the bindings on my Sctubby, I've not noticed any damage to my boards from TD3s. It's not my board so I wouldn't suggest that he not use a lexan plate, but I'm not completely convinced that this is actually an issue anymore with more modern bindings.

Jesal Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hopefully this is not the case with TD3. As there are no hard contacts Only the soft E-Rings and screws are touching the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
