I posted this on the Lush boardbuilding forum and thought it a good idea to put it here to.

This contest is looking for all types of riders for testers. I'm hoping that there will be a real mix of people, both in ability level and age.

The technique I have come up with, in the grand scheme of things may not change the way skateboards are built but it's an interesting way to build a deck and worth experimenting with.

Pulling 5 decks out of thin air for this contest is going to be a challenge for me. My expertise is playing with ideas and leaving it up to others to take them to the next level. (ie: Roarockit) I'm not a boardbuilder. So don't be looking for an indestructible, explosion proof board or the best handling slalom stick on the planet to come out of this. I've got an idea and I want to share it. Simple as that!

I think this is a great way to get people who don't have an industry in to get involved in a bit of R&D.

so..., if i read the bulk of that correctly, particulary the part about you not being a boardbuilder, and wishing to share an idea... does this mean sometime in the future we can hope for some roarockit kits that come w/ a combination of materials? such as the usual veneers and some composites? or am i being ignorant/hopeful?

This is a possibility. We have been experimenting a lot with maple/carbon over the last 3 months with some positive results. Need to see how it fits with what we do though.

Is "old fat guys that carve grind, but not well" a discipline?

I would think so! I believe that's half the guys on this forum.

I don't know, from the pic on your link David, the bellies not hanging on the floor yet.

I sometimes call myself a "pasty white guy from Canada"

I think as long as it is no longer than 90 seconds, youtube would work.

We are going to postpone this contest until the Arcane contest on the Front Page has finished.

I will inform everyone about the dates when more details are known.

Thanks

Ted

The Arcane comp. is slated to end on July 3rd with a week long voting thread to follow. It's strictly for sliding. If you think it's best to hold off your's I'm sorry if it has disrupted your plans at all.
