Brian,
A good flexy carver.
The Supercharger with no nose or tail rise.
The same concave as it has now.
Add 4-5 sets of truck holes every inch going back in the rear for longer / flexier wheelbases.
Maybe make it a bit less stiff than the current model or offer several flex options.
A Dervish, Vanguard, Bigfish killer.

Wheelabrator is kind of like what a longboard skate park would look like (albeit without a really great DH run). It's a bit of a hike from NYC, though.

That video made me want to buy obscene quantities of Earthwing products.

**Alpha06** · 12-31-2007 02:37 PM

That video was strangely awesome.

Lol.

Serious question here:

How much would it cost for you guys to make a drop down deck (a la evo, dont care about concave) thats made of fiberglass/completely see through or at least frosted

I'd be willing to drop $250 but I have a feeling it will cost a lot more than that.

If you want to slide, get Slide A Superballs. If you want to cruise, get the 56s, 65s, 70s, or the new 76s depending on your preference.

For a deck to be only fiberglass, and strong enough to hold a person, there would need to be a lot of layers of glass and it would be near opaque.
It might have warm glow if you hold up to sun, that's about it.

It would be like $500000000. Actually I don't know but it would be way to heavy to be a practical board.

Or just slide soft wheels...
It will make you a better slider

**bpz** · 01-01-2008 07:00 PM

Soft wheels don't let you stay sideways like the SlideA Superballs do.

There are a lot of great suggestions on here. I LOVE my supercharger and am saving some dough up for 35.5 drifter as well. A drop-thru, supercharger-esque speedboard with cutouts I would be all over, as well as that weird ass party board. Also ... How about something like an LDP board? Maybe something a bit shorter than a superglider with a bit more flex but a similar shape. Something to throw a Bennett/RT-X combo on and pump all day would be sweet.
Man, every time I ride my supercharger I want to throw you guys some more dough. Too bad I'm poor. ... Hey, how about a super rockin' rep program?
