I don't know if anyone has a couple new ones lying around thay want to sell to me, but if you do, please feel free to PM me

I have some, but they are all Teebirds though :D

What a shame..... :p

I know the Zippers were the first runs but what was so different about them? I have a friend that might have one but I would have to check...

They were actually stable.....flew more like Teebirds.

I love TeeBirds. I have a nice old stiff translucent Champion Edition one.

The Zipper Viking comes in handy in the cold weather. I pull that one of my bag when I need a better grip. It's my longest disc along with the Orc. Maybe it's a little bit softer than the later runs, but I could be wrong. I sank my other Zipper Viking into a lake last winter....still miss it.

I just ordered a special blend Orc to find a disc with a better grip.

i herd that innova is going 2 stop makeing teebirds :( :mad:

I might have a couple of 150g gummy zipper Vikings. I'll check the stash when I get home 2nite.

Why not just get a teebird then?? :confused:

No, not a 150....don't want gummy. 170-something ;)

b/c for some reason disc golfers like to spend money on certain types of discs when there are suitable replacements that are identitical (See 2001 Roc)

I have quite a few early Vikings, I'm not sure if they are zipper?? Hadn't heard that one yet. Any identifying clues.....

Run your fingers across the top plate. Sounds like a zipper.

Plus -as far as I know- they were all yellow with a silver stamp, close to max weight. But I could be wrong.

I've definitely thrown red 150s with that "zipper" effect when running your fingernail over the top.

The World is flat! :eek:

Like when you run the pad of your finger across the top of a first run Starfire and it make it a sound like a DJ doing a vinyl scratch?

zzzzzzz......zzzzzzz....ZZ

OK .........i think i know what your talking about, my Vikings dont do that but my first run Starfires do.

I have a red zipper viking 17? that has been in my payout box for about 2 years...brand new.

How much are these things worth?

Trade?

PM me if you have one for sale/trade.

150-classers unite!

until it gets windy.......

Not so fast, Willie-boy. IF you know how to handle your plastic, 150-class are sweet in the wind!

My highest-rated tourney round ever was in a gale at Hawk Hollow.

I've been looking for something a tad more stable then my Valks when it's windy. Viking the way to go or T-bird? I love proving the masses wrong about 150 class and the wind. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Honestly Ray, is there any disc in 150 you don't have?

tailwinds are not the problem, i have a superlight spirit (130ish) and when i throw it into a headwind it hyzers the whole way but goes a good 100' shorter than a normal spirit in a headwind, but it a tailwind flex shot... LATER.

Ch. Viking & Ch. Teebird are relatively similar in stability for me. Viking maybe a tad flippier & somewhat longer; Teebird straighter & more predictable over a range of conditions.

If it exists (even in minute numbers) in 150-class, chances are I have a stack!

I just got a couple of 120g Speed Demon DTs from David Mac, but have yet to try 'em out.

149g gummy Champion Firebird will fly forever into a headwind for me!

speed demon dt's i bet you can rip those on huge flex shots.

We'll see. Taking a trip to SC this weekend. Hope to hit 4 courses & will have a 120g Speed Demon DT in the bag ready for an audition.

Why 120g? They are not overstable. :confused:

I think I have to hate you now. :D

Oh 150 class guru: are those 150 QOLFs all that they are reported to be?

Vegan Ray no likey QOLF (or SOLF). For me, they feel awkward in the hand (I have Arsenio-like spider fingers) & do pretty much what a "seasoned" DX TeeRex does, just not as predictably.
QOLF is slightly more predictable, but not much. It's not bad for 75% fairway drives, but, for me, I'm not quite sure what it's gonna do if I give it the full treatment.

Riverdog will have a different opinion, though; he swears by those babies!
