I have just lent my 175M for the week end to B., who wanted to test it despite beeing not the same size as me....Experience wasn't that concluding because he found the board too stiff for him (he is suppose to ride the 161M or 161H)...Good point is he found the board versatile and tolerant, but in now way he could bent it...appart from beeing in steep slopes where the G's helped...

Morality> make sure you are choosing the right swoard for you: it is well explained in the board selection section, and will make the experience unforgettable once you're riding the jewel! We are providing 9 (NINE) different boards to suit almost every needs ! its the only board besides custom boards that provide this!

Get ready for next season

Hi Nils!!

I bought a new Virus Lightning 2003 for about 900€ last Season. it has a Waist width of 17,1 cm. I think cause of the small Waist width I´ve to use a very high angle of my Binding (60 to 63) so I can´t give enough pressure on the Edge for Carving the Board really horizontally (it looses it´s grip and slide away...Only possible in very very sticky snow)
So my Question: Did You have the same experiences about small Waist width (I had a Factory Prime, F2-Silver Pfeil)? What is the Waist width of the Swoard (168 Shoes Size 43)??? Is there a Possibility to test the new Swoard???
I Just watched the extremedramer again... Can´t wait for snowing again
Thx Maxele
