Viking lovin' who doesn't want some?

[DiscGolfDan1]

So personally I freaking love Viking why do I never hear anyone talking about them?

Is there some code saying that you have to hate Viking? I haven't seen anyone ever throw them but my brother?

Where can I find a champ pro or star Viking? I've never seen them in shops or at sheels.

 

[JeremySW]

I've never thrown one, but judging by how people talk about them on here - They sound like a great disc that is just the victim of being a disc that is easily overlapped by others.

Never heard anyone say they hated them, and people seem to like the Discmania CD, which apparently is like a Viking but with more glide. Hard to say why it isn't talked about.

I wouldn't have thought champ Vikings would be that hard to find, there are even some up on discmania.fi, which isn't known as a great place to get rare discs...

Oh look, DGV has them.

Well where I'm at in Iowa to buy discs you go to walmart or the nearest discgolf course pond.

I like the good vikings. Maybe in 5 years all the bad ones will be gone. Maybe? Hopefully? Edit: BTW My local store just got some new run Champion vikings in. I might have to pick them up.

It's one of Dave Dunipace's favorite discs that he's designed.

Oh yeah, there was the whole mess with a lot of miss stamped Vikings, that might be worth noting.

That too, but I mean the broken mold piece they didn't notice. The broken, or "bad vikings" are glideless overstable pieces of shit. A smear on the viking. There are still a bunch floating around I'm sure.

Reasons the Viking isn't a particularly liked disc are piling up... =)

How can I tell if I have a crap one? I have two they seem ok.

I don't remember an easy way, as I think it was a core piece. If you can tell newer champion plastic from old you shouldn't have much trouble. Older is bad.(For once.)

 

[jubuttib]

As far as we know he might have "bad" Vikings already, miss-stamped ones that is. Can't remember what those were actually, Valkyries or something like that?

Yes, they were valkyries. Much easier to tell those apart though.

 

[money 21]

I like the champ viking, never thrown any other. It is just one of those discs that does alot well but nothing great.

 

[BrotherDave]

Yeah, I really like my Champ Viking but as JSW said, it tends to get overlapped by lots of others.

The ones I have are dx. Is it possible I have fallen in love with a valk?

DX Valks have a rather sharp nose, the Viking is blunt enough that even without seeing a Valk I still wouldn't have called it sharp.

 

[DiscGolfDan1]

They look pretty similar to me. Idk maybe it's just me.
