Hi BlueDevil!

Are you talking about the "Renntiger" by Voelkl?

Hi, Blue Devil

Try to make a post at Bomberonline.com. Or search the forum and the old forum of this site. I know there are some hardbooters who have experiences with this board. Fin does also sell this board through his shop.
http://www.bomberonline.com/reviews/boards.htm Or try this one, there are some reviews of this board.

Greets, Hans.

Thanx, guys! Really, I didn't manage to get that kind of info after searching the net for 2 days 8O
But, I do read that from 9 reviews there are, 2 boards actually broke. Should that be considered a major issue, or just a factory mistake (like sh.. happens)?

Volkl RennTiger

Post by patmoore » Wednesday 18 February 2004, 19:09

I've been riding a Volkl RennTiger GS board for two seasons and love it! It's a 168 cm model and I use it for racing and freeriding.

If you have a chance to grab one, do so.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I DID IT! I GOT IT!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The new beast has arrived. It's RT GS 173cm model, and as far I can see without tryin, I can put my feet under 60 degrees!
It's the model for the next season, it looks like a beast, and I can hardly wait to test it!

It's not the SWOARD, I know, but for the $$ I paid for it...

I will post as soon as I get a chance to ride it...
