Thrasher

I guess I'm the second Dan to write a review of the Thirst 8R Warp. For consistency, we both agree on pretty much everything about this board. If it sounds like plagiarism, there's a good reason. I rode mine for the first time two days ago at Park City. I was a little nervous as I used to have another brand of board the same length that gave me fits trying to ride at such a crowded resort. I always just assumed I must not be a good enough carver yet to manage a board that size without ALLOT of space. Really brought my confidence to an all time low. But by the end of the second run on the 8R Warp my confidence was coming back ( and then some.......SLOW DOWN)! This board felt so predictable, stable, and maneuverable, I was soon looking to try things on it that I hadn't thought to do before. It just became more fun every run. As I started getting tired I really began to appreciate the light feeling underfoot this board has. Flickable is another appropriate description. No noticeable issues with dampness. I had one very bad run down a manky area that had frozen into a minefield of thousands of piles of "Close Encounters..."mashed potatoes. Brutal! But I just picked a line and went. Other boards I've ridden would have gotten through also, but the added confidence this one gave me was comforting. And it's worth noting that this board is surprising at how fast it is. Not normal fast. But surprising as in "...Oh Crap, how'd I get going this fast so quick?!" Caught me off guard a few times. But the more I pushed the limits of where I thought edge hold was going to start failing, the more I started to realize that as long as I didn't get lazy in my form and maintained weight where I should, this thing just doesn't let go! And the poppy feel as I was exiting turns had me start to look more for lines with little rises I could grab a little air off out of turns as it seemed so much easier than I'd ever felt on anything else. So, just a really great, fun board that does what you tell it. And that's how I feel about it after just a few hours! I'm really looking forward to getting to know my 8R Warp better.

This delicious board has been sold.

Let me know if I can do anything else. Thanks, Dan Note: This one's a collectable, with that kind of typo. ( Model : Meatl FC)

Selling my 185 Donek Metal FC. I bought it from another forum member here 2 seasons ago. I've used it maybe a dozen times since. Just bit off a little too much board for where I'm at in my carving abilities right now. Board is in excellent condition. It's my first time selling here, so let me know if I've made any errors. I can send more photos upon request. I'm asking $435 plus shipping. Contact me at dant471 at msn dot com or text at 801-750-2990

YEP, breesej, thats the kind of advise I was hoping for! And I'm gonna take your advise, though I dont know how long I could leave it in the closet. But I am curious about the conditions being right/not ....every time comment.?

HAHA, Ya slopestar, its the Bliss potential I'm getting more and more excited about the more I think about it.

Hi Pat Donnely, Let me be the first to express serious interest. I'm in my third year of carving, second year hardbooting, but started snowboarding in '82. I'm six foot, 175 without gear, so probably at least 180 by the time I'm on the board. I've been more of an all mountain free carver, but want to refine my technique this year. I'm still learning what boards are best for what, but this looks like it might be a good fit for me. Any thoughts?

I'll have to pass for now. Thanks for the info, dragonrider.

dominc, no worries. some stuff happened here that kept me away. sorry for the trouble, Enjoy that board!

Email also sent. ( I was lolligaggin, midwestspeedstr....dang!)

Hey cka9, I'm interested in the Madd. How long have you had it? Seen much use? Would some closer pics be do-able? Thanks!

Hey, I am interested in the year and some more info on F2. Maybe a couple more pics?

Steve, that's an awesome time! All seven runs are great....I would love to have the opportunity to ride gates with ya and get some feedback and help on how I'm doing. I'm also curious about your POV mount...when I get a camera I would want to talk to ya about buyin one of yours, the videos make it look like it's workin out great.

Trenching Truths.....or, The Entrenched Truth......or, Truth or Trench....., finally, True Trenching!

Please add me to the queue. Thank You! These seem like they would be perfect for me as a first set of plate bindings.
