Grip

Update. boots and SG bindings sold. Coiler BX spoken for pending payment. I’ll go $650 for the Thirst and $400 for the SG. Plus shipping. Could meet up between Boston and Sugarloaf for delivery.

F2 = 160 length x 24.6 waist. This one has more use & sratches than the others, but fully functional and should be a ripper for short money.

Maybe we should use the Coiler for a sign on the trails "DONT HIT US" Boots, SG Bindings and Coiler BX provisionally sold pending funds.

Coiler BX unscientific measurement = 24.25cm. I think you can use the sidewall code posted above to determine sidecut. She turns easy prob due to softer flex. Cateks - $125 + shipping. They are the World Cup Series 1ps.

Thirst is .285 flex in Mark's scale. I'm 195lbs but asked for less than full stiffness. It's LFF or Regular stance. Mountain Slope boots come with stock, original 27.5 liners. Keeping my Zipfits (highly recommended!) Coiler BX sidewall - T159 BXFRC 018SG - 7*2+9 Picks of the busted Coiler below.

My mistake they are Mountain Slope branded. Same thing anyway right. Some pics didn’t upload I’ll fix later or you can email me at danapswenson@gmail.com

Retiring my hard boot setup to focus on soft boot fun funs. Everything in excellent shape with normal signs of wear from 2-3 years of short New England seasons. Very much prefer a local deal in New England... discount for buying everything!! I'm at Sugarloaf almost every weekend. I'm driving down to NYC March 15-17 so could deliver near that route. Thirst XC 171 $750 - Regular Stance - 19.5 width SG The Cult 169 $500 - 24.5 width - stiff & tons of camber, width allows for lower angles Coiler BX $250 - 24'ish width springtime ripper, med/soft flex, very damp F2 BX $200 - 24.5'ish width. Bought cheap used a while back and never ran it Mountain Slope .951s $450 - C shell with stock original 27.5 liners, never molded. SG Plate Bindings $250 - with Northwave size bails BONUS - buy everything and receive a FREE broken Coiler (the blue one). Board was SUPERB until I got smoked by a straight lining skier on a green run. I've ridden the board since then and it didnt kill me but the impact/delamination is pretty ugly. Photos coming soon. I also have some older F2 carve bindings and Cateks in a box. I'll update when I dig them out.

I’m having the exact same experience. Got injured a little over a month ago on the hard boot gear. Swapped back to softies for a bit. Running front binding at 37 and rear 21. The new Burton step on Bindings and stiff’ish Ion boots are fantastic. Effortlessly shredding the entire mountain now. Still laying down plenty of nice carves, just not quite as sharp and dramatic (albeit at a much safer speed). Throwing in some scrubby turns too when conditions require it, which feel great and still traverse laterally across the trail (just not on a pencil line edge every time). Doesn’t mean I’m just scraping down the mountain. I’m calling the mixed style “grooving” instead of all out “carving” every single turn on the hard boot boats.

Sending PM on both!

Howdy. Anyone selling a set of SG bindings? Bonus points for ones with the bails that fit the UPZ/Mountain Slope boots.

Perfect soundtrack too!

FYI that was me chasing you down Wiffle Tree for a few runs on Tuesday. I’m pretty much a novice but your turns looked great at the bottom of the run where I could see you from the lift. I also couldn’t lay down any hard turns on the upper part of the hill. Too much speed and couldn’t trust my edge. Found it hard to see all the contours of the hill in the flat light too.

Thanks. Looking like Tuesday at Sugarloaf will be first day... and it’ll prob just be slush over ice (or grass) at that point.

OK here you go... We didnt discuss any “special specs” specifically. I left it to Mark to do what he does best and make me a board for the east coast. 19.5cm waist and my weight around 210lbs. We worked together on the color gradient, and I asked him to “make the logos look like pure gold!” Hahaha. I think he nailed it.

This sweet Thirst XC just arrived today. Kudos Mark!

Dang I’d be all over this if I didn’t have a new board already in the works. I’m in Portland too, over near The Great Lost Bear.

Is the SG binding considered an F2 clone?

Thanks for the note. They have less than 30 days on them so I guess still settling in.

Hey hey. I’d love to try a set of wrap liners in size 27.5 or 27 for my Mountain Slope .951s. Tongues on the stock liners seem to wander no matter what I do. What have you got? Whichever have less volume in the shin/calf would prob be best for my tree stumps. Thanks!

I think I’m getting this with my SG bindings too. Seems I can never get the right tension on the bails, so I carry the Allen wrench in my pocket. The little rubber pads in the binding blocks cause some extra friction with the .951s rubber soles which gets a little grabby sometimes too.

Sending PM.

I’d love to tag along as well some day. Mid week sugarloaf is doable. Will send you guys a PM once I get me schedule figured out.

This one is very well composed yin yang affect. Very zen. You are one with the carve

I have 2019 UPZ RC12 size 27-27.5 for sale. Check the classifieds

Hey hey. Anyone planning to ride Sunday River, Maine next week? I’ll be there for the week starting Sun 31st, and would love to meet some fellow carvers. I’d also love to demo a narrower (19-20cm waist) board and would be happy to swap for half a day with my SG Cult 69, or a Winterstick Seth Wescott 160 soft booter.
