YouTube - My Bladeboard

I bought one of the blade boards and have had problems with it from the start. The casters on the blade board are much harder to power then the wave or the ripstik. I have tried many things to make it ride easier, but none of them made it work. I bought the board when it first came out, so I paid about $100. If anyone has any ideas please tell me because so far it has seemed like a big waste of money.

YouTube - Grasping 4 Air on the TimberWolf...

Been a while since I've updated on the progression of TimberWolf caster board riding. Here My son NatO (13) does his first significant FS air and opens the window for much more to come in the ever more exciting world of caster boarding. It really is concrete surfing.

Wow! Great product. I wondered how someone was going to solve the single direction limitation of Rip Sticks. I looks like it can go faster than a Rip Stick too.

The skatepark speed limitations of these in-line wheeled boards are a problem that I don't think this board fully solves. The wheels are 82a. That is pretty soft and slow for a skatepark. In-line wheels have a tendancy to side at slow speeds on transitions.

I'd like to see how it handles downhill speeds.

I wonder what skateboards can do that this board can't? If anyone wants to say, "it can't look cool" don't bother. Coolness is reative to fashion and fashion changes with time.

It was smart of the manufacturer to make the deck look as much liuke a standard skateboard as possible. I don't care much for "Klingon battle axe" style grinding arms. This deck should just be split in the middle so it looks even more like a standard skateboard and less like a Rip Stick.

The biggest problem with this board is the name. Nothing should be called "extreme" ever again in the history of advertising. They might as well have called it the Radical Awesome Skateboard.

Hey TJ. I bought a Timberwolf for my son in June and we've both ridden it quite a bit. It's a good product. All the neighborhood kids who ride ripstiks are in awe of it when my son rides it with them.

I stumbled upon this thread and have enjoyed reading the back story of your work on developing the TW boards. I have a question about something I've noticed. Looking at the Roller Surfer boards, it looks to me like their casters use parts that are the same as some parts on your casters, but stamped with their logo. Did you license the parts out to them, or is something else going on?

Thanks, and best of luck!

well here is a fun fact that you might not know But the casters on ripstiks and waves have angled casters.
But the blade board is not, to test my theory look at the kingpin on the ripstik and it has about
50 degree angle. but the blade board is 90 degrees (up right) so over all you want a board that has a angle of about 50 degrees or so, btw timberwolf xtreem is a Bidirectional board also but it has angles. TimberWolf XtreeM casterboards casterboarding

I saw the Timberwolf Xtreem Casterboard Skateboard Team riding out at the Brownsville Skate Park. The Video does the Rider no Justice. The Kid in the bowl rips BIGTIME. They seemed to be having a good time. Nice to see some thing different. Stay Stoked and keep ripping. Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws.
