    Default baby drop... as much fun as it sounds

    So heres my latest project , a "baby" dropdeck. Its 42" x 10.25" and has a 1" angled drop on the front and a 1/2" drop on the back. It was really my first time working with a drop and concave so I wanted to start small. The concave is sick and really locks you in, I'm hoping with the small drop the board will react like a drop through but retain the strength of a topmount. Well enough talk , heres some pics....tell me what you guys think .

    Man, I have that DVD. Awesome show, the new 'fits suck so hard. I wish I hadn't wasted the money seeing them, although they did some cool covers of Black Flag songs.

    None of you asshats are in the hammers shadow but, I will say the new year will bring some forum changes, one of which will be much stricter enforcement of the general anti-hater TOS rules.

    I like it a lot. the whole board seems simple and what looks like everything you need and nothing you don't in a first speedboard. I would definitely love to buy one of those.

    I assume you mean 10 plies of 1/16". 7/16"? geez, that'd be a tank.
