#47 - Charity Time Again

Another year, another donation board from my kid's school. Low and long over 10" Originals, the trucks that everyone loves to hate. I find when mounted low they make for an amazingly fun carvy ride. Not built for speed or tricks, but just to cruise. Board is two plies of 3 mm w/ one of 2 mm between, one layer of 6 oz glass and two of 5.5 oz carbon fiber, 1/8" risers are tigerwood. Deck has a really nice pop to it even though I exceed max weight by a handful of pounds. I'm sure it'll land in a good home.


#46 - And a Boy Turned Three

My boy turned three last month. I figured his first skateboard was long overdue. Three plies of bamboo, two of 2mm and one of 3mm. No carbon and just a little bit of fiberglass, light as a feather, max rider weight < 100 lbs.
