just pointing out that interesting piece of info 🙂  

It should be interesting as Mark said "Metal (titanal) it's not damp... It's about frequency/resonance and averages." I've had over 50 days now on my 8RW and that I think was my first board without metal so it should be interesting to compare the ride quality of the two. I'm expecting it to ride like a dream as the reviews for the tesi8 (8RW w/ metal) have sounded good so far.

Representing Virus here. The board is new to me and I got this board used from German website with very good price. The seller was gracious enough to send it to the US 🇺🇸

Board176cm Black Death Zylon Evo. 15cm width

 

I cannot believe the board is from 2013 and still looks awesome in 2022!! I love the Zylon/Carbon combination. #magicdust #frankthetank

 

Now where are the snowy weather !?

@yamifumithat's almost a skwal. You'll need a little bit of outward canting at those binding angles.

I actually have inward cant with lift on the front bindings and just a heel lift on the rear (i usually ride with inward cant and heel lift on the rear but I got rid of Inward cant on the rear for these narrower boards). I do have just enough outward cant on rear boot to not have boot pressure.

i never liked the outward cant on bindings even with narrow board.

@yamifumiseems that you go more narrow year on year! Looks great that board!

I actually have board that has 14.5 width (Virus Cyborg 181 Hypercarbon). 
 

narrow boards are super fun 🤩 and I love being more forward stance. Last season went from “18cm? No way” to “man, I love 15cm!”. just ask @b.free

I got old Virus storm with, I think 17cm waist.  Same as gladiator. In addition to swallowtail that I posted earlier. Now I'm thinking if two new boards for the season is enough. 

I feel like it’s never enough 😆 

you are more than welcome to try my BD and Cyborg anytime you visit CO

Four new softboot boards for this winter! No new alpine boards this year - waiting to do some demos at MCC 😃

The two on the left are a Stranda Cheater 170w and a Stranda Descender 162w. The Cheater will be my new softboot carver and the Descender will be an all-mountain freeride board that can still carve.

The next two are mellower all-mountain boards that I bought as NOS. Third from the left is a 21/22 Rome Freaker 157w. Definitely the most playful of all of my boards, but still camber dominant and wide enough to carve deep. The furthest right is a 20/21 Yes The Y 154. I think this will be my main pow board this year, but we will see. It is replacing a K2 Instrument that had several core shots at Silverton last year ☹️.

It's possible I will sell one or both of the Rome/Yes boards if they don't fit in my quiver. TBD...

Well... I lied. I happened upon this Nobile factory GS racer for about $325 USD total. It's NOS from 2019. 176 cm length, 19.2 cm waist, 16.5 m sidecut.

I swear this will be last board I buy until next year 🤞

Made with Polish hands!

Your swoard is made there too.

 

I got something too on Nobile garage sale at the factory:

Ptex Ti GS 183

Race Jr 122 for my son

Nice boards! Your son is a lucky to get a carving board at a young age. Will he be in softboots or hardboots?

I was looking at Nobile's Ti racing boards with Allflex inserts as well. Very tempting, but I decided to get a cheaper board for now. I will need to save for an Allflex setup. The GS board I picked up has Vist inserts, so I may look for a Vist plate as a cheaper alternative to Allflex for the near future.

I'm looking forward to trying my Nobile. I've only seen a few reviews online but it seems like they have a good reputation as a manufacturer. Perhaps they will grow their international market after having some athletes in the 2022 winter olympics.

I have a full hardboot setup for him.

Will see how he will fare - he is 6 yo at the moment, so not going to force it too much.

Nobile is one of the top quality manufacturers. They do a ton of OEM manufacturing with swoard and korua being the most notable ones.

Boards are camber only and very lively.

For the upcoming season nobile has decided not to produce a new raceboard model. Maybe they will come back in 23/24.

Only Polish riders rode nobile in the Olympics in Beijing.

They have a lot of stock though, so if you are interested in getting one from Poland I can help you with that.

Let me know when you try it - I am curious about your opinion!
