glenn Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Have a Virus BX 168 for sale. According to Frank from Virus, it's a prototype from 2014. I acquired it in 2015 and haven't ridden it at all. The base is like new. The top sheet has marks on it from bindings. Edges are good. Camber is as original. I'm asking $600 U.S. plus shipping, as Frank said that's what it's worth. The markings stamped on the top sheet read 68 14 001 (168cm, 2014, 001 designates first prototype) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Can't seem to get that info. Wondering if Virus considers that proprietary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambertoMI Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yes they do. I can never get the exact dimensions. Was just wondering how close it was. What is the stance width? Min vs max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kneel Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Man. VERY tempted, but SO many unknowns here. And you've NEVER ridden it? I bet it's an absolute DEMON on ice and hard groomers. But no idea what this would be like otherwise. Where are you located in NJ, Glenn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an alpine guy and I like groomers so never really had a use for it. I have three alpine boards that I only use one of. Yes, N.J. around Mullica Hill. Where are you in Jersey?

Kneel Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Warren, northern Somerset county. Same here. It takes a lot of powder to get me out of hard boots, but I've been broadening my horizons and trying new things. :) But I just don't know what to expect from a BX board. It could be a great northeast bulletproof and crud board or...not. I just don't have the experience. That's why I was thinking we could meet on a hill close by and I could try it out? I'd pay for your lift ticket so I'm not wasting your time. You could let me know in pm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could mail it to you and you could try it and you mail it back if it doesn't fit your needs. I can pay one way and you pay the other if you don't like it. If you like it, we could come to an agreement... That work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well, if that's o.k., give me a shipping address and I'll get it to you asap so you'll still have some snow to try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneel Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 That's an even better deal. I'm pretty confident the local conditions are not very good. And if this is really ok with you, I'll be in Park City the first week in March to try it out. I think conditions may be marginally better there now... PM'd you my address. I'm happy to pay shipping both ways or even pick it up. I can find other reasons to be down near your area to make a day out of it...

Budge Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 How did this work out? Is this board still available? -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I was torn for a long time in this one too. The “I want it” level was very high. The “can I afford another board?” Level was higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneel Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 My son has it and there is ZERO chance you will see this board for sale again. Seriously though, he loves it and it compliments his frenetic riding style. I rode it and found it rather bland. I suspect it was built for a lighter rider as his 5'11" 155lb frame threw it anywhere he wanted it to go whereas my 6'1" 200lbs of atrophied doughyness just beat it into boring submission. Typical Virus though. High quality. Rigoddamndiculous edge hold... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
