thanx guys.. =) they are g bones. and. i gotta say.. nothin beats spf's i cant go back after ridin em. g-bones are too slick on masonite. which is mostly what i ride, especialy in the winter. but i love the green on that deck alot.....oh well... the shape is good though, but the longer nose on the barbee is somethin ive grown a custom to..just feels a little bit more stable. their both good. cant beat that k15 concave. its tha s@#t !! there was a guy at the park today with an underhill and it was signed by him. he said he met him at eastern skate supply about a month or so before he passed away, and when he signed it he said ray told him to skate that thing and not hang it up! he was shredin it in honor of him.which i thought was pretty cool. god bless....
That is so sick! I skated with Ray down in Wilmington a year or so before his passing and he was a kick ass guy! And Nick your right nothing beats SPF"s. I like the classics for color and that oldschool look and feel but when it's time to get down to bizzisness SPF's rule the pool!
no prob. i actualy put an 8" on it after i shot those pics. very slight overhang on edges... i mean SLIGHT, hardly even noticable. i dont know if theres an slightly smaller size than 8.i dont think so. the 8 looks good. il post the pic when i get a chance. 9" would be waaaaaay too big. =)
I know this is REALLY late, but how do the g-bones do for cruising badly cracked streets? They're 97a so i have my doubts...but the guy at the skateshop said they're just as good as the ratbones but you can powerslide better. Input?
GBones in my opinion are better for parks and ramps and some pools and ditches but for street they may be a little hard and heavy. for the street my favorites are the Skull and Sword, Rat Bones I's, and the cubics. 3 different wheels completely but as you know everyone has their own taste.
