timinor Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think it's awesome. I rode the 172...I think. It was last year at the Aspen SES. Of all the boards I tried, it was hands down the best. It is softer flexing and very smooth. It held well and felt solid yet was nice in softer snow. Now, I weight 145 so a softer flexing board has very little downside for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts.Scheinman Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 thanks i would rather not have a rock as a board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 but, I'll express it here for you too....I love my Silberpfiel, been riding it for the last 3 seasons and it is the one board in my quiver that will put a smile back on my face no matter what kind of day I'm having. After 3 seasons on this board the guys down at the local shop are still amazed at the camber left in this board (I've got about 60 days on it) When this one finally wears out I'm going to get a new one, and I'm thinking about adding a SL to my quiver this season as well. You'll find detractors here on Bomber over the F2's, but would Bomber themselves sell them if they didn't like them? :rolleyes: Good luck with your decision, Have fun, Paul p.s. My boards a 168cm, I'm 6'2", 195lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapofTaziFoSho Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I absolutely love my silberfpiel. This will be my second season with it and I cannot imagine riding another board. I've ridden the F2 RS, the burton Factory Prime, and my old airwalk 157 something. This has been by far the best ride. Stiff enough, but soft enough...It's heavenly. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts.Scheinman Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 wow great reviews i think i will get it when winter comes around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexeyga Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 wow great reviews i think i will get it when winter comes around You shouls probably get it sooner, because stocks are limited, people love these boards and you'll have hard time finding a used one in good condition, since not many want to part with...

D.T. Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 For thoes people who have rode this board i just want to get some feedback on it.. Your weight? Height? I am 5'9" and 205lbs and thought the board was on the soft side for me. I could rail tight turns all day long but felt very limited. I think a Con shox would have would have greatly helped (considering my weight) but they are not easy to find. I wound up buying different boards to serve the purpose and sold the Silberpfeil. As always, demo before you buy if possible. P.S. - I was riding a 172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 all have been quality boards, they make good stuff. I assume the silb is the quality as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffh Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Anyone know how it would compare to lets say a 167 Donek Freecarve flexwise? Stiffer, softer, about the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I agree very much about all said about the Silberpfiel 172. BUT thats the 02/03 and 03/04 models. That was then a new sandwich construction. The two later models got a new stiffer core and flexpattern and it transformed the board from a magic carpet to a much more aggresiv slalomboard feel. To sum it up: Get the older model like the one in the pic. (Before 02/03 it was a pure cap-construction - also a different board.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carve4life Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i love my F2. i first saw my dad riding it and he cut some serious turns with so i was next on the list. at first i found it a difficult board to ride because i was still learning to really comit to the turn and i would either go down in the turn because of a lack of trust or i would not be able to get it into the turn on my heel side. after about 2or 3 hours however as i gained trust in myself, i was able to real dig in and lay down turns like i never had before. after riding it more and more i grew to love the board. it doesn't seem like a good board to learn on but hey what do i know!! i highly recommend!!

MapofTaziFoSho Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I re-learned on it after a 5 year carving board hiatus...absolutely loved it. I have been boarding for 11 years now tho. Makes me feel old.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
