deck design, pt 2
Ok, Ok, so I set up an old vato rat from the 90s, only I
drilled a new longer wheelbase for it, so it got me thinking,
again... I saw on Skull & Bones where the new catalogue's
gonna have a pool ripper that's 10" wide, which I believe's the
same shape as the pool bomb from a few years ago. I'm gonna
try it out, but what I'd REALLY like to see is a deck just like
the hot rod flames @ 9.375 x 33.75, but with a REAL pulled in,
very tapered nose like those 90s vato rats -also, I'd like to see the
rosebones longboard with about 2.50" taken from the middle, same
nose & tail, same concave, just some length taken out for tighter parks,
maybe 33.5-75 long. I'd like to R&D some decks like these!
ps I did try the skull & sword, but it was just a little too short
& wide for my picky feet, even though the measurements seemed
close.

wasn't paying enough attention - thanx for the heads up about
the Charm City bowl, is it gonna be crete? I been skating the
Greenbelt park alot, Olney & lancaster once too; went to
Bowie last Thur for 1st time in a long time, & that freakin'
pool crippled my ankles the next day - geez that's got a harsh
trannie to it (Grindline?)!!!
anyway, yeah, you're right about the orange/sunset background
& chillin rats/pool tile, though the graphics are pretty much
gone...
wonder if it went to bulk & got deleted? (I still check
there too usually) anyway, I'll keep a lookout for ya
next time - any idea when the pool will be there? I remember
skating there long time ago when they had that other wooden
bowl, that attatched spine-wise to mini, why'd they ever
tear that down anyway?
playing trix on me... did ya ever skate the old cheap skates
wooden bowl in PA years ago that had the pool coping &
escalator? that was pretty fun, tight trannies like a pool,
but nowhere near as harsh as Bowie!
next night or 2 - that YORK park should be getting done
hopefully soon as well, a friend told me looks like things
r starting to happen w/that - I just have yahoo, & it's usually
no problemo, although my girlfriend just had trouble w/her
mailbox not being able to send email out - on another note,
the new CONCRETE WAVE just came in the mail today, & the
POWELL CLASSIC ad w/Steve Steadham in the Vans Combi is
killer!!!
On the subject of decks, a friend flowed me a
Flip Lance Mountain (w/the crest), which, when
I set it up is pretty nice - but it's still got more
nose than tail, & the concave matches the wheelbase
(16") too exactly to mess w/ - Long story short, I'm
back on my trusty HOT ROD FLAMES Powell Classic!
