home-made board builds for eddie
On 11/12/2005 Julien wrote in from United States  (68.85.nnn.nnn)

I used a Roarockit vacuum bag to glue to two sheets together w/ even pressure. The glue I used was Titebond II but I heard that Titebond III is better. I used a toolbox to weight the middle and held the ends up on sawhorses. Cut the board out afterwards using a jigsaw but I don't see why you couldn't use a router table. I'm kinda inexperienced with routers but I've heard they work fine for cutting boards out, plus you can get nice roundover edges.

cheap flexy boards
On 11/6/2005 Julien wrote in from United States  (68.85.nnn.nnn)

buy a sheet of 1/4 inch baltic birch and have them cut it on the cross-grain then laminate two sheets together with a weight in the middle. I have a board thats just shy of 40in that I built like this and it can flex all the way to the ground if I jump on it.

SkaterBuilt ConeKiller Hybrid
On 11/5/2005 Eddy wrote in from United States  (207.69.nnn.nnn)

Last night Gumby and I had a session from 8pm till midnight. Mellow hill, 8 straight cones 6 ft apart 2 ft over 8 more cones 6 ft apart, stepover 2 ft and 8 more 6 fts then about 8 ten ft offsets, then 7 ftrs to finish the course. Gumby was having problems with his setup, only had one wedge on his front truck, so sorry bro, I did not bring extra wedges ): not turning fast enough. Tonight I am unstoppable, victory is mine, bumb knee and all. I myself am making the course clean 15:80 secs. Gumby starts going through my collection of quivers in the back of my X-Terra. The bro gets out my Skaterbuilt Cone Killer 32 inch Hybrid, extremely wedged RT-X front and Tracker Offset back. Abec 11 Grippins. He takes a couple of runs through the course, clean runs and fast. Post a 15:00 sec run clean. The SkaterBuilt responds very quickly. Damm you Gumby and you too Davo. Eddy Texas Outlaws on the mend.

Brad Bowman Longboard
On 10/29/2005 Spanx wrote in from United States  (67.120.nnn.nnn)

Bought a longboard deck at the local swapmeet about a year ago . It has the OLD SCHOOL "Superman" (BB) Brad Bowman logo and a very cartoonish large breasted longboarder girl with a hobo knapsack . Other than that there is no company name or logo. Its approx 42" long and 9" at widest point . I just set it up with mid 90s era indis and Alva dub cons . About to list it on ebay but wondered if anyone had any info on it first . I would keep it but my quiver is getting pretty big for how often i skate . Plus everyone needs a lil extra cash this time o year . Cheers !

I've been thinking about getting myself a Dragonfly but am concerned about the lack of any concave. Can anybody let me know if this has been a problem for them with Insect boards.

Cheers

insect sidewinder
On 10/23/2005 lonerider wrote in from United States  (65.249.nnn.nnn)

I have a Insect Sidewinder 30" med-light flex (I'm 150 lbs and asked for flexier since his boards are normally very stiff). It has a nice wide nose to give you feet a lot of purchase, great energy return, and feels very precise under your feet. Lots of energy in your pump as well.

Details...
On 10/23/2005 Martin Drayton wrote in from United States  (70.58.nnn.nnn)

Hey Todd, long time no see!
Yes its a special board, one I will NEVER sell.
The trucks are Splitfire Dragonslayer 90mm. Both have the lighter 50 degree Randall baseplate. The front has a Khiro 80A wedge, the rear is de-wedged with the same.
The front truck is set up slightly wider than the rear(I like it that way. Have you ever stood on a board and it felt perfect straight off, as if you had always ridden it? I rode it once before travelling to California, and knew it had magic in it...Works for me!

Martin.
