HOT ROD FLAMES

NICK SPESIA

i was wondering.. this deck is really growing on me..especialy in the colorway its coming out in and in k15. is this deck shaped more like a popsicle? if so i want one..the width seems to be perfect and i want to start riding more modern shapes for street. any input from anyone that has one is appreciated. thanx.... when is this colorway coming out????

The Hot Rods are cool! They are a long way from a popsicle stick, though!
At 33.875" x 9.375" it's a big ol' beast with plenty of shape.
But it's also a 10lb tank when only trucks, wheels, and grip are added!
I have been hard pressed to find a dude who can flip her, successfully!
I'm 6'5, 170, and it's almost too much deck for me! Makes a fantastic cruiser though!
Here's my monkey ass trying to get her airbourne!!

yeah..it looks like the tail is squared off in your pic? in the pic on the website it seems to have same shape nose/tail. oh well.. thats a pretty cool picture though.. nice shot =)

Thanks, man!
My homeboy took the pic at the wrong time, though! Hahahah!
You've got a good eye there, bro!
It's the black Hot Rod with the gold and purple/green flame from last year.
The tail was a bit more squared than the current Hot Rod, but it's similar enough to report on.
Stay rollin!!

I know we're talking about the flames deck, but I can't recommend the new Rodriguez enough. When I Put it together and stood on it, I really just wasn't feelin' the way it looked under my feet - that giant nose just seemed too fat and awkward. But man, once you push off and ride it, it's like heaven.

If you're thinking about a big, popsicle street board, the R-Rod is sweet. I use mine for bowls, and with some labyrinth's and DTF's, shoo - perfection!

NICK SPESIA

sweet.. maybe il give that a shot. thanx

hey Nick,
I've ridden the hot rod flames deck pretty religiously the past few
years - the graffitti ripper's kind of been takin' its place some, kind
of because it feels like the way I'd alter the hot rod flames to my
personal preference: redrill the holes to give a bigger tail/smaller
nose, & sand the nose down to be somewhat more flush w/front trucks.
I've got a few classics in reserve, & when the new k-15s come out, I'll
definitely get a couple - they're great for big bowls, big, drawn out
carvin' round the sk8park. Definitely not for flippin', but I can still ollie
on them ok, & the stability/shape is real solid for goin' fast as $%^*#

Howdy, Stranger!
