How do you like the Amplid?

I haven’t used it for what I bought it for, unfortunately. But it’s an interesting ride. Super light, deceptively stiff and can rail turns with softies if that’s your thing. Best I’ve ridden it in was 6” of CO fresh on groom. It really wants to float, but when you dig it hooks up nice. Wish it was a little wider. It’ll fly with me to MCC but most likely sit in the loaner because I brought a pow board for the no-pow kiss-of-death…

Picked up my Coiler last night.   Just a regular Contra 😅  170 x 19 x 11.5m

Pretty pumped my workplace is funding a bunch of the cost - fitness related expense  😎

Also, picked up a couple vintage Burtons on same trip.   I learned to ride hardboots on an M6.  Always wanted another asym and found a 1995 Alp 64.  I think this was the last year they made freecarve asyms from what I can gather.  Factory Primes came in asym models for a couple more years I think.

My very 1st board was a asym air! I absolutely loved that board! Very similar to yours but red. I would give anything to ride one again! Paired with the classic 3 strap Burton bindings made it a beast! Sadly, I smashed it into a hidden rock riding backcountry in Durango CO 😡

Stupid rock!!

Great Graphics. and it answers the lift-line question, “what is that ?” !! Looking forward to review of the 174 / comparison to 185.

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of my new ride, a Thirst 8RWarp. I've never ridden a board over 171cm, so I was bit nervous with this one at 184.5cm. Mark (Miller) and everyone else was right, I had no problem turning this board as tight as much shorter boards. It's been a blast to ride! Working with Mark has been a great experience. He took my design ideas for a custom topsheet and came up with something I liked much better. He is truly an artist and a craftsman as well.

I had/have one too with the 3 strap Torque bindings.  I think I know where it is and keep thinking that I should get it back some day.  The edges are totally shot, but that woodgrain top sheet… was sweet!

My first Thirst - a Metal Superconductor.

It was great working with Mark. I mentioned what I wanted for my top sheet, thinking it'd be a printed top sheet with Thirst Graphics. He did it in Wood!

It'll complement my Coiler WogoCoco(s).

Hate to break it to you, from a fellow 7.3M owner, there IS no compliment. I have a lot of sad boards that don't get ridden when my Super is in arms reach. You're gonna love that buttery ride. 👍

Sick graphics but didn’t notice Thirst was wood graphic until I studied it.  Have you named them yet?  May I suggest “Enter The  Hip Draggin’”?  Bruce is one of my favs from childhood.

That's exactly what Mark called the topsheet design. He labeled it as "Enter the Hip Draggin'" on my spec sheet that was included.

I am a little busy for the next week and a half so no time for a good write up.  They are spectacular.  My carving buddy Eirik demoed them and ordered 1 of each.
