AFAIK
Skywalker, what does AFAIK stand for? I always have difficulties with your abreviations....
Another question: how old is this specific boardl? If this is old enough then we are writing history here, man...
Thx,
Istvan

@ Istvan and all others with translation problems (like me )
I suggest you to get Babylon : www.babylon.com
This great multilanguage tranlation software knows most of usual abreviations like AFAIK
"AFAIK (As Far As I Know)

virus extreme carver
hey guys!
this board was build last season. first ridden at the end of summer 2003. i am sure there ar some guys in this forum who have ridden this one. including me...
thank you olaf and boris for this interessting test! the only thing i could imagin what your problem could be is really your weight. looks you weight in too less, to proper bend the preload of the board in this builded version. sounds very simpel to me. i will arrange a other type for you, of corse in the same production quality.
we will see us again soon!
ride on,
roman

Hi,
i would like to add some words as well because i am the lucky one who has a Swoard 175 H and a Virus 175 EC in stock
So i think i am really able to compare both boards. Important is that both boards are build for my rider weight (100+) so i dont have the issue of too less weight to bend the board
I am agreeing with Olaf, Boris and Istvan that the Virus board is more agile and reactive and kicks you more from one turn in the next - the Swoard is more lazy compared to the Virus.
I cannot agree to the comment with the edge grip of the Virus especially on the backside. I have a total other feeling when i am riding my Virus. Indeed the edge grip of the Swoard is very good but the edge grip of the Virus is little bit better and sometimes unbelieveable.
IMHO the Virus carves pretty stable on well grommed pists as well as bumpy ones - the dampening is very good.
So as conclusion the only point which should everybody keep in mind is that the Virus is really demanding - like Istvan said a wild horse. This board is very fast and wants to be ridden aggresiively - to be honest i need a little time on this weapon to become the mast of the board and not vice versa
So finally both boards a very good carving machines of very good quality and everybody who ones one of them should be really happy.
@ Olaf, Boris - i am really looking forward when you test the Virus EC from Roman fitting in your weight range.
Greetings
Thomas

According to the new announcement of swoard made by virus.
Does this mean you have been riding a "stolen technology extremecarver", a 2D model or a 3D model. Roman said to you to provide you with an appropriate board for your weight, meaning you have been, will be the first official 3D testers?
This is getting confusing

As of yet, Virus and Swoard both keep their own technologies, and the Swoard boards are using our tech, while Virus uses its own tech. It means no virus is using the ATC technology as for now
