Um, that would be one SIXTY two Bryan!

umm, one of a distinct lovely board, with no camber but hellishly lively, fun-slalom weapon

[Chubz]

They are fun but the delam issue sends me running.

[terekhov]

that ride justifies some POSSIBLE issues fully. BTW, I've bent my first 162sl in soft just forming moguls, bought second without second thought. will buy third in case of failure <knocking on wood:>

I have never finished a run on a volont or aggression metal board with out bending, delaming or breaking it. Not once. After 5 or 6 (thanks Dowd) of them I stopped trying.

yes, it's definitely not everyone's board :) but I definitely rode them in mixed conditions for some 20 days combined (not as everyday board), and I'm not passive sidecut-glider too ;) IMHO it's DIFFERENT ride make this board worthwile many years after volant goes R.I.P. and yes, it's ride resembles glamorous modern metal boards :)

yeah, if you're hard on boards these are not for you.
you can actually hear it when they let go, the capped solomons make a similar sound when they explode.

I spent a fair amount of time on steel aggressions, we had a demo fleet of them, at the time real nice boards if they last you more than a week of riding.

I've had 2 173 aggressions. The first popped in one weekend....The second lasted 1 season and the beginning of this one. the 1st - the cap popped in the middle of the board on my back side(reg foot) - the 2nd I folded the tail and it delammed and creases....didn't pop though. It felt like riding with a flat tire...LOL. I am currently working with Bruce (coiler) in producing a metal board with very like specs......I want that ride with todays technology.

Paid about $200 for each - I'd do it again.....

[colintkemp]

My 173 is bent just a bit. But, it is still a fun ride.

[S_carve]

it would look real nice all polished as a wall piece

[colintkemp]

Actually, that's were mine now is because the FC is the go-to stick. I would, however, buy another 173 in good condition in a minute. Wonderful board, IMHO.
