Pokolikrat Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I just saw these somehow I am still missing asymmetric boards. Just guessing probably nobody on forum rode one of these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezer Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 No, but I learned to carve on a Burton Alp just like this. The green stained wood top was beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezer Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 As long as we're getting all misty about old snowboards like former girlfriends, this was one of my favorites of all time. Mistral 174, cap construction and an edge like a razor blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet top-sheet even if the shape looks goofy in retrospect. That Virus board though... looks kinda sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I rode assym. I rode some before assym were around (red MBoo (actually Bamboo) slalom board comes to mind - red on topsheet, bottom was red & black like a cheetah pattern, smth like that). Then came assyms, all the hype, and then they went out just like that... Always liked them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 i had one of these for a while, used it on the continent a few times - it was phenomenal. if i lived near big slopes i'd have one again in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) I had a Hot Logical 172 (1990 I think), which was the first board I really started carving on (beyond just tipping the board on its edge). I guess it also was my first board that was really suitable for carving with a good sidecut and stiffness. A lot of camber also, it was good at launching you from one turn into the next one (at least that was my impression, maybe more due to my skill & weight at the time...) After that I had an F2 Beamer 162, and on that I learned that asyms were not working for me. I consciously had to bring my weight back in heelside turns not to go over the nose. But I still love the way asyms look! Actually tempted to make a board with a longer heelside edge, to have a skewed nose and tail, just for the looks of it Edited April 4, 2019 by TimW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that was a spelling error or not, and at this point I'm too scared to ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
