Default Re: characteristics of a perfect pumping board?

to paul bonchi,
There are certain characteristics of your boards, which I am assuming are v-lams, that are desirable; being that they are aesthetically pleasing and have the appeal of being totally handcrafted from an exotic wood... and that's great. But carbon fiber/fibreglass board have something to deliver that your board, without a doubt, cannot duplicate. Among those things are that the board itself absorbs everything in the road (you compensate for this with your risers and leather, which is cool) and has certain flex patterns that a vlam cannot provide. So simply put, both types of boards, I think are the best within there own category. Your board brings something amazing to the table that the boards that pavedwave described cannot and visa versa. However, if you come onto silverfish and promote your own boards, then proceed to insult other peoples hard work and inovation people are gonna start thinking "bonchi = dick." I'm hoping that what you did in this thread was a one-time thing and that you won't continue to do it, I think everyone here would be willing to look past it, and it would help if you provided an apology.
