1xsculler Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Smothered in Mark Miller’s magic sauce (and, yes, I am a believer that Mark has developed special boards especially for the carver trying to reach the next level). After making my first turn on a Thirst I thought, OMGOSH, this is a different animal I’ll have to admit I have thought the same when first getting on some of the Coilers I have owned I will keep one Coiler and one Thirst in my quiver and concentrate on those two boards. I’d love to keep this one but I am trying NOT to be a collector of snowboards which often takes more self discipline than I can muster. Left foot forward, W.A.R.P., Rc3t, ex-cl, and all of Mark’s current technologies. Don’t ask me what all of those letters and numbers mean. I believe the side cut radius is a different shape on each side and is designed for either left foot forward (regular) or right foot forward (goofy). Go to the Thirst website for a full description of the SC. This board: 175, 19 waist, flex index=.217. about $1200 new...will sell for $650 including shipping, stomppad not included condition: 9/10 I am waiting for PayPal $, and a friend will hopefully deliver it to MCC or I can ship it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 lol; it's like blood in the water Glad to see you are thinning the herd to focus on 2. It did wonder for me. I can feel the dragon sickness/hoarding instinct kicking in lol.... LFF - regular foot. Is it built for your weight or stock? What year model was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1xsculler Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Only Mark can answer your questions. He will remember it as I bought it only a couple of weeks ago. He sent it as a demo and I talked him out of it as I couldn’t think of any changes I would make if I ordered a custom and I liked it a lot from the first run.

lonbordin Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Damn... Now that's tempting... Just the 19.5 waist... Hmmn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwavedave Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 That looks a lot like the demo I first rode. Maybe not the same board, but similar vintage with a carbonium topsheet. I'd almost consider buying it, but for the stomp pad. That's a deal breaker. I liked it so much I asked if I could buy it after riding for an afternoon, and he wouldn't let me have it.

Carvin' Marvin Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 @BLOODTYPEZX10R is this the board that was at MCC last year? If so I absolutely loved this board. Super stable and LIGHTNING fast edge transitions. I don't remember it ever losing grip either. $650 is a great deal. I plan on getting one just like it except extra stiff to put up with my oafishness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll throw in the stomp pad. $550 plus shipping. Yes it does hold an edge extremely well. You guys are talking me into keeping it. I should re-measure the waist to be sure. I normally like a 20 or 20.5 but I also like the quicker transitions of a slightly more narrow board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Super made to my specs, but I really did like this one. And I actually have a new stomp pad here waiting for my next Thirst which just came out of the press yesterday! You're putting a lot of nice boards out there at bargain prices for some lucky carvers. Thanks for that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most generous act was trading my nearly new custom K168 to Bruce for one of his boards because he had done so much nice stuff for me. Much to my surprise he sent two new boards to me...a truely great guy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
