Here's a good one and just over 18 minutes + a few MOSS sticks for Barry Near the end (starting around 17:38) there are a few minor wipe outs, suggest using the gear icon to reduce the playback speed to 0.25 during your replay to determine why the wiped out or lost their edge.

Thirst set-up from Mark Miller: "Hello all you happy carvers out there. I really enjoy hearing and seeing about your new season in full swing. After talking with so many of you about your set up, it is obvious to me that the Thirst boards are riding differently than other boards you've ridden. I specifically want to address binding mount position for your Thirst board. One of the many custom features of your ride is that the binding location was built specifically for you and your typical stance spread. There are so many variables in the precision placement of inserts such as a person's body mass, lift, cant, angles, boots, BTS spring systems, riding locked or unlocked that it is recommended you spend a couple days playing around with your binding placement to find your own sweet spot. Start back then move forward- explore - your board will ride differently with changes to your mount position. Experience the changes you feel by having your bindings in the aft, center and forward positions of the insert pack. Changing binding mount position has taken several Thirst riders from "well, maybe..." to "this is exactly what I wanted!!" To eliminate additional variance keep your normal stance width. If you haven't already, move your bindings back to the rear set to see what differences you get in your performance. This position seems to be the most favorable among most of the Thirst riders. A Thirst Snowboard is different in core construction and WARP design ~ these features have to be experienced to understand ~ treat it differently and enjoy the amazing options that your Thirst Snowboard can offer you."

DMKW - back in 2010 I dislocated my right shoulder while in Aspen. Went to see a specialist upon our return to Michigan and he too advised against surgery based upon the probabilty that this would not happen again as being >50. I told him I wasn't so sure with the odds and told him I would send him a few pictures of my style of snowboarding for his consideration. So I sent a couple of photographs that afternoon and he called me within an hour saying we needed to schedule surgery. So far, so good.

I usually ride with a STORM whistle on a lanyard around my neck just in case I need to get someone's attention in an emergency. Less than $10 on Amazon.

Hydrate. Sportlegs from day 1 and throughout the day. Walking and stretching at the end of the day will help. https://www.alpineaction.co.uk/blog/2019/10/29/how-to-help-your-body-recover-from-skiing-or-snowboarding/

Side note, wrap some Teflon tape on your heel screws and/or change out to stainless steel M5 x 20mm (hex head) bolts. Had a corrosion issue as they usually apply salt in the parking lot where I ride. Broke two drill bits as I had to drill out a couple of screw/t-nuts. Be careful not to over tighten the hex head bolts as you can apply more torque vs a Philips head.
