#16 - A Dancer of a Different Shape

Something a little different. Nice diamond tail shape and clear grip.

I really like getting my 42s in there.

A fabric that I knew I had to use the moment I saw it, looks amazing up close.

Specs are identical to #15

#15 - Michael's Dancer

Michael wanted a much like my first with a little more length. Nice looking build and delivered ungripped.

Nice looking snakeskin fabric on the bottom.

Specs: 55" long, 9" wide, and a 40" wheelbase.

#14 - The Prototype Speedboard

The prototype speedboard is done. Two plys of 1/8" bamboo, a 1/4" x 3" maple stringer, and three layers of 5.5oz carbon/kevlar twill weave make this deck very stiff in all directions. It's currently undergoing testing and I should start getting feedback on it pretty soon but I sure as hell enjoyed riding it.

#13 - Eithne's Rocket Deck

Eithne gave me free reign with the build and so I built this deck with a board building competition in mind. I don't really have a whole lot to say about this deck at the moment, just that I'm really really pleased with the way it turned out.




Quick details:

Two layers of 1/8" bamboo, carbon and kevlar fabric under the hand cut mahogany stringer, 34.5" length, 9.5" wide, and a 25.5" wheelbase.

#12 - Kayla's cruiser

My niece spotted an Eastside Tabor at Portland's Saturday Market not too long ago and decided that she just had to have a longboard with a handle. I decided a nice diamond tail shape would be just about right.

#11 - Jeff's double drop

Another double drop, this one's built with only three layers instead of four because Jeff's such a light weight. It's got more flex than you'd want for speed but Jeff's just going to use it for laps around Greenlake and it'll be just right.

#10 - the dancer

This is really just a proof of concept deck. It's a simple build made out of a single piece of 3/4" bamboo ply with a little kick added to both the nose and the tail. Total length is 51", 9" wide, and a 36" wheelbase. With Paris 180s, 1/8" risers, and 70mm wheels it doesn't even get close to wheelbite.

Nice fabric graphic on the bottom.

Clear sand grip on the bottom.

Good stuff.
