Nice dave! But how much of that did you really pay for

[tsp13]

How did you get the cool fade effect on the trucks???? Is it just spray paint???

[danthedmrrider]

heres my new long trampa board , not as good as some on here but i like it

[Dubs]

Nice one dan Cut that mofo down! You've got some sick hardware on it- the deck will thank you

[danthedmrrider]

i wish i could cut it down but its waaaay too flexi for that

How many ply is the deck? How flexy are we talking? If you can bounce on it without bottoming out, you're good to go. You could always move the trucks in an inch either end - I did and it's made a massive difference, my board feels less 'spongy' to ride. (Mine's a 13 ply short deck, i'm just under 10st)

[danthedmrrider]

i was told its a 15ply but im 80kg and i can get it within 4cm of the ground just by jumping up and down on it (without a kite) so im not sure whether its a 15ply or not but ive never riden a trampa before so it might be normal. its a long skate deck though so im not sure if that makes any different to a short deck

[Cyprino]

It's normal for them to feel really flexy. Mine felt so strange to start with, but I've got used to it. Jon's got a CKB which is as stiff as a board, hence he doesn't get on with my deck! If you can bounce and still have 4cm to the floor at the lowest point, you've got a fair bit of chopping space. Move the trucks in, curve the sides in, cut down the tips and it'll be awesome

LOL. Anyway.

 

A friend of mine did it, he can do other kit, set of trucks from about £40 more colours you want the more expensive it gets. Its properly done, stripped back with primer and sprayed on with car/boat paint, very sturdy. you wouldnt get it looking this sexy with a tin of spray paint.

 

I dont think he's advertised his services as the price to get the paint, prime it, cleaning out spray gear after every time seems a bit excesive for just a pair of trucks or board....but if your interested let me know.

[sneds]

mines a 14 ply and i weigh 13 stone its on here some where i took out half an inch on each side and cut the curved ends down i have to fair jump on it to bottom it out.

[danthedmrrider]

i think i might just ride it and see how i get on with it, i think its just that ive gone from a scrubs lion canyon board which was very stiff and heavy, and i just jumped up to this so it feals really spongy and flexi, and because it feals really light in comparison to my old board i just think that its going to bottom out on every jump

skates or revos cant decide

 

have you double drilled the board? or do you have weird trucks?

standard skates and revos do not have the same hole spacing.

 

 

as to your question... skates for turning & jumping, or revos for never breaking; your call.

[redmark]

just weighed with revos and alloys 6.1 kgs mmm i can cope with that revos it is me thinks

Revos look nicer, but are like carrying a cow, if you happy with weight stick with revo, but take the dustbin lid washers off, they look kack
