Ok it is working again. So it has been 2 months since injury. It was the hardest time in my life. I was going from one doctor appointment to the other. My record is 3 in one day. I am on disability. I still wearing moon boot. I had to even sleep with it. Inside ankle ligaments got beaten. I am going through physical therapy for shoulder. It was 5th dislocation. I st after shoulder surgery. They also thinks ligaments between shoulder and collar bones were torn. The biggest problem is my right eye. 3rd and 4 th eye nerve we’re damage. So I have only one working eye. Doctors told me we need to wait and hope if any improvements will happened. But so far it looks bleak. Pretty much it is end of my boarding/ skiing carrier after 54 winters on the slope. If I will be able to do backpacking is also questionable. Probably no my cross country trips. A couple doctors told me I can be lucky be still here. Thanks all of you guys who sent me mail I am using forum to just write one answer. I will have a lot of stuff for sale boards, bindings, never used boots and loathing, tuning stuff and so on. I just need time to depart with all that stuff. It was 30 years every weekend at least on slopes. It is hard. Thanks all of you and safe ridding. We are just targets on slope with wide turns.

I hope is will be only post here. On January 3 rd I got most likely hit in my blind spot, back leg side, by 70 years old skier ion Kirkwood chair 2 somewhere at middle of the run. It is blue wide run. I don’t remember as I was in a coma and had to be air lifted to Reno hospital. Spent 3 days there and I am home now right shoulder was dislocated or something is broken they are not sure. My left ankle is all swollen stretch ligaments. My right eye is shut down even when I open and held the lid I have double blurry vision. Of course bad headache and short term memory problems. Bruises all over right side of body. I wear helmet and full body armor. Everything was cut in pieces by ski patrol. You can be careful as you want but somebody will get you eventually. If you can ride with somebody just to have a witness. Nobody did not see anything I was told and ski patrol takes is as no foul accident. Pretty much not have a idea when I will be on the slopes again or what will happened with my job. This occurred on my 9th day of the season. Currently I am dealing with Kaiser insurance. No fun no neurologist’s appointment for next two months. Probably policy if we will be lucky he will die sooner. I am getting pretty pissed by every day but I can probably lucky be still life. Again ride with somebody if possible.

First time at Keystone. Pretty nice resort like it much more than Breckenridge. But 4 days no one hardbooter. Just stupid questions: what is it? Never saw it, ski boots and so on.

Well if this is a top quality we are probably living in different worlds. I tried to contact them twice. No I did not want new board just sent me missing letters and I will fix it somehow. Absolutely no answer. By the way world cap racers don’t pay for their boards. So for you guys think twice before you dump 15 hundreds maybe you should consider company which already know how to glue stuff together.

Probably some cheap stuff from China!
Well consider quality of their products and customer service( non existing) you are probably closer to the target than you think.Their workmanship is big disappointment for me. I will post pictures later but I will never buy anything with that name for sure.

How tall are they compare to regular Deeluxe? Please some input. Blue Tomato have them on pre order for “just” $590. I would like to try them, what will be most likely problem in States, before dumping 6 hundred. They looks like nice for resort ridding. Climb in these with classical harbor sole if pretty much impossible or very danger. Too bad they are not build on AT sole. That’s why I like Scarpas and Dynafits. Much better for not just climbing but regular walking.

Pretty much that is how it will be. I have Epic and Ikon passes for several seasons I am buying full price passes because anything cheaper has severe restrictions and day ticket prices are getting insane. These two passes cover all California resort, except Sugar Bowl which I liked in the pass. It looks like both companies went with the same beer distributor. Now you have the same crappy beers everywhere.

Not bad for June 9.

Take your gloves. My friend was there several years ago and had to use spare socks.

It is Revolution narrow Shred did you try it yet? I took my recently at Taos and Santa Fe ski.it performed well on steeps, moguls, trees and some fresh snow. And it carved well also. What is the board on left?
-
I know but not everyone has time to get in the middle of nowhere. I was checking this winter and it was pretty much nightmare Wasting two days on travel something I can’t afford in current job. If this will be future carvers meeting place it will not make this sport more popular for sure. Close event in probably in one of the most remote resort in America.

Thirst flex/sidecut seems to be designed to keep edge bite underfoot. Slower initiation,
this is so far the most important information for me I found about Thirst boards. I talk to Mark a couple times he seams to be really nice guy. My concern was the almost all reviews were written hard core Coilers rider. And you just love these boards or not. After surgery on my foot several years ago I can’t put pretty much any pressure on the tip of my front foot so my toe side turns really suffer. And I did not master Jorg’s Style of riding. This was main reason to get Kessler 62 which should have a starting radius of 7m. Well it did not work I just don’t like that side cut shape. So without trying Thirst on the snow I am not willing just blindly buy another board. But where to try it? It was the best thing on SES ability to check different boards. So my last two custom boards built by Frank still work the best. I also liked MK a couple years ago but probably would like it a little bit wider for shallower angles.Maybe just simple side cut working the best for me. What is MK around 9m?

Pretty much take this forum as source of entertainment nothing more. Too bad but I guess that’s what happened after 20 years.

It took some time but my this winter collection is finally complete. As we will have long riding season here in Cali, these boards still fall in this winter. From left Jones Ultracraft split, Virus Revolution Hypercarbon Narrow and finally Virus custom UFC 165 Evolution.
I see no picture so I will try again

Yes, I couldn’t find the post.

A couple pictures. I bought it in September here on forum put 3 days on it. Side cut just don't work for me. It is 4x4 patern with Kessler risers there are two nick on tail check picture. From manufactured number I don't know 12? I don't have more information as it is standard or custom. The bord is pretty stiff, smooth, fast ride but just not u cup of coffee.

Kessler 162 for Donek MK. Kessler is very smooth ride but that side cut somehow does not work for me so I don’t plan to ride it .

Great service. I ordered new binding on Sunday and received it on Wednesday.

Well, unhappy update. Yesterday I had appointment with my ophthalmologist. Not so much vision improvement. I had still horrible double vision. And my depth vision is really screw up. They now consider surgery to get that vision somehow better. It looks like 4 cranium nerve never recovered from that hit. So I don’t see me back on slopes, maybe I will try do some sliding at Soda springs resort later. I had to be extremely carefully not hit my head. Of course I would have get new body armor as everything was cut in pieces in January. Make thing worse A month ago I went thru 5 hours surgery to remove bladder cancer. So this winter really looks good for me. I will sell most of my boards and bunch of other stuff. I will take a pictures soon, after I will be able to move and lift stuff better. So just first cut: Kessler 162, Donek MK, Oxess166, Voile split board, Virus UFC 162,Soulcarver163, La Glisse175, brand new boots, binding and so on. It is so sad after 54 years on the slopes. The boarding was such a big part of my life for last 30 years, it just feel so empty now. I hope you guys will have a great winter.
