The Nitro Cheap Thrills x Love is a soft, true-twin park and street snowboard with a 247 mm to 252 mm waist across its three lengths. This is the Cheap Thrills platform — Nitro's Cam-Out camber and Whiplash Core Profile, rated a flex of 5 on Nitro's own scale — wearing a graphic by the streetwear label Love-distribution. The shape is centered and symmetrical, so it rides switch as readily as regular, and the soft flex is chosen to press, butter and stay forgiving on rails and boxes rather than to hold a line at speed.
What sets this version apart from the standard Cheap Thrills sits underfoot: a Sintered EcoSpeed HD base in place of the base model's extruded one. A sintered base absorbs wax and glides faster, while an extruded base is slower but almost maintenance-free. That is the upgrade you pay for — at $479.95 the x Love costs forty dollars more than the standard Cheap Thrills ($439.95), and the gap is the base and the graphic. It is the same fast base the pricier T1 runs, dropped onto Nitro's softest park shape.
This is a jib-and-butter board first. The lifted Cam-Out contact points aim to keep rails and off-axis landings catch-free, and the Whiplash profile runs thin between the feet to press easily and thick outside them to snap an ollie off the tail. It is not a board for speed or big jumps — a soft, flex-5 twin folds where a stiffer deck holds — and a centered twin gives you nothing to lean on in deep snow. It comes standard width only, in 148, 152 and 155, with no wide and no 157; larger boots or a wider platform means a different Nitro, usually the T1.
The board ships flat, without bindings. Come see us and we will pick a binding to match its soft park flex, then mount and size everything to your boots before you ride.
