Hey David Kirk

[C5 Snowboarder]

Welcome back to Bomber -I read your post.. How's that Tanker riding? Off to Whistler Sunday riding my Prior 4WD and Hot Blast 178. The Whistler web site shows great snow conditions. :banana:

Tankers are the $hit. I use a 187W for everyday riding and a 200 for deep days. Despite their length that are the easiest thing to ride in everyday conditions. And in deep stuff they drop other boarders and skiers like an anchor and they float over the crud.

Can you tell I like them?

A few years ago the Tanker company , Rad Air, approached me about being their North American distributor. They thought it would be a good piggy back onto my bike biz. When I told them I was just a guy building bikes from his house and that i'd have to store snowboard stock under my bed they thought better of the deal. But they've treated me well and I doubt I'll ever ride anything else.

We got 16" of fresh the other day and the Tanker life was good.

Have a good trip.

Dave
