Algunderfoot Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Yet another awesome build from the incredible mind and hands of Mark Miller. This 2018 8R W is a 185 WARP design, featuring a new nose and tail shape, an extra layer of carbon, and a gorgeous textured / back printed nylon topsheet. I've named her Sylvia Trench (aka. Dr. No Bond Girl). She'll get her first tracks in CO, later this week. Edited February 14, 2018 by Algunderfoot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I would love to try a Thirst/Mark Miller Board. To those whom have tried both the "main stream" and Thirst: Coiler, Donek, Kessler, Prior, SG, Virus and etc... Need a Rosetta Stone of sort: How does the different Thrist Model translate to said a Doenk/Coiler model? or maybe a better questions are: What are the major difference between each model/feature? WARP vs non WARP? 7 vs 8? R vs X? and etc. maybe @BLOODTYPEZX10R can chime in :-) I do like 1 board that does it all: I don't race but seems to prefer race deck construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WARP vs non WARP? 7 vs 8?

I love my custom Coilers, I have four, my wife has one. I'm sure plenty of folks here will say the same about their Doneks. However thirst has taken its own path to its board performance, building boards since '79 there's a plethora of experience few share. Mark uses no Titanal, only woods, carbon fiber, other damping materials and the steel edge and ptex of course. Topsheets are all a clear textured, reverse printed nylon which is far a more durable material and creates a irredescent / 3-D effect. His dual core, twice pressed construction, and unique sidecut profiles results in a response, edge hold, and carve cleanliness like no other...skiers even notice that in the efficient pencil lines. They're happier ? Thirst's are also freaking fast, Jimmy John's fast! Gone is the need to shift weight, pedal the board, it carves a true arched line, meaning the board flex and sidecut work together, and may I say, eliminate the need for a plate ? Yes, just did. For us aging Carvers, this is well deserved. The WARP Waist Aborated, Radias Proportioned design, lets the heel side ingage quicker making transitions more efficient as well. Its asymmetry in a symmetric package. As far as a do it all board, I'd go with the 7 Warp Superconductor, or if you do find yourself riding switch at times, the BX.

I myself have only ridden the WARP boards, and they are great. 7 vs 8 is just the cm range. I also have Coilers and Doneks which are really nice rides, but the Thirst is the smoothest riding in my opinion, and the easiest to change turn shape. GS turns right into slalom, cross under, cross over and back without much effort. They also float amazingly well in new snow compared to most carving boards I've ridden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Really interested in the dual core. Is there anything between the core and are the cores flat or shaped (with camber)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 There is a dampening layer between but the rest is on a "need to know" basis, in other words what you see on the website is what Mark is willing to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRAZZ Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Finally time for me to join the 21st century and Coiler up! Apparently customs are afraid Canada will infect us with poutine and a health care system. That's the only explanation of why it took them a WEEK to pass this through. Still, it got in undamaged (phew) and looking awesome!!! Can't wait to ride it on Sunday. Coiler NFCB 174 built for a 190(ish) person with a 10/12.7/12 sidecut. #superexcited!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Gruumer Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Possibly the only one in NA.. Pulled this in from Austria factory in Eisenstadt (funny as my mom was born there). Do not know why they keep secrets. They do not offer it to North America.. no demand once again..we just jump around! Santa Cruz SRX 161.. Euro site has the specs...no much!
