Hi all,
thought i'd get this one going, i've not been on before, but been in the LDP thing a while, now i'm moving onto pressing one, i'll add pics of all i've made, hope you like them.
I started small, this was really aimed at me starting slalom, but i rode it all the time, great little pump set up, it taught me alot.
This one was more for fun really, only 24" long, Larry Bertleman twin fin copy, mistracks and zigzags, we had some fun going through cones on this.
But sooner or later i had to get to the real stuff, this was the begining of set ups that really worked well, with James's help i tried the Carver CX front and various other things including Randals and Fibrelite's, but RTS/RTX i found worked really well for me.
Since then i've tried the 4.3 bennett, but have found i like the 5.0 better, but have kept the RTS on the back and moved onto the Pink Gumballs.
My brother then got interested and i thought it would be a good chance to try a proven shape. It was another flat deck, but proved a point.
This week i've pressed one, but have gone slightly to concave on the rear, so i'm just tweeking with another layer on top, i'll let you know the outcome soon.....
Just finished shaping after the last layer glued last night.
Last coat of varnish drying in the sun, i've left it a bit ruff and ready, it is a prototype after all, i have taken lot of time over new ideas and made them look great, then found they are useless!!
Good to see you buddy, i'm sure you will get to try this one next time i see you.
on your what did you put under the board to to give it concave? _________________ The concrete is our canvas, our wave, our playgound, our catalyst for growth. When you feel it, flow with it, live in the moment; and shred it like you'll never skate again, everytime.
