Anyone else still throw a Viper?

I think this was one of Innova's first discs that they came out with, and a couple years ago I picked up a used one for $2. For the first year or so that I had it, I hardly threw it and wasn't all that impressed with it when I did. And then...

I threw the Viper with a tomahawk and fell in love with it. I can get it to do almost anything I want, and can even get it to skip right where I want it to.

Anyone else throw this old disc? Or am I the only one stuck in the past?

I think the viper came out in '92? or around that time. Maybe the winter of '91? Definitely, not the first disc that they released. The Whippet followed shortly thereafter. I've got a glow Viper that I still use for night golf. Also have several vipers in my collection and a Flying Eye stamped Viper on my wall. Good disc, but the Firebird, I think is the newer Viper replacement.

I have a couple of CH Vipers in my backup/alt bag. I only use them when it's really windy. They don't skip as much/far as a Firebird ... so I like them for wind shots when I don't want a big skip. It's gotta be really freakin windy for me to put a Viper in the bag.

I love my Viper... it's my get out of trouble disc. I can flick it, thumber, or huge hyzer it!! Love the skip on it!!

I wish I had a better plastic but maybe Santa will get my a Champ edition.

Great disc... I have 3 DX and am always looking for different colored ones when I go to the sporting store.

If the Firebird is the replacement I will have to try it also...

I just found one a couple weeks back. It's clearly well-loved. I feel terrible for the guy or gal who lost it. I found it at Giles Run in Lorton, VA, and if you can describe it, it's yours.

Haha, Rick. You do love your Viper. I saw this thread, and knew I would find a response from you. The Firebird is a great disc. I had a Viper for a while, and was actually kind of glad when I lost the thing. Didn't work for me.
