your dh setup

[spoctopus]

No reason to go all douche bag on me it was a question just a question I don't even know how to make a board. Now about street decks tho how
come they are all the same shape and nobody is throwing lawsuits at eachother? Remember boys and girls it was just a question and nothing more

You dont skate street do you?

Street shapes differ slightly, but the small differences make alot more of a difference on a street deck then a "longboard".

Shape of kicks, width of kicks, length of kicks, width ect.

That and I don't believe a patent on the shape of a street deck exists. You can patent a product, but I do not believe you are infringing on the copyright of said product if it is made with different materials. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i could be totally wrong here and probably am, but there aren't that many different factories pressing mainstream freestyle decks am I wrong?

Im pretty sure you are correct. I think the factory that makes almost, makes a few others

No and most companies are all the same.

[speshlspeclsteak]

just cus there arent that many manufacturers doesnt mean there arent alot of molds

Well kahalani is an out of country company, with no international patents. So highwind had every legal right to make those trucks.

Now making your own TVS copy for yourself is one thing, obviously. But mass producing the same exact shape and idea would not only be pretty lame for TVS, which actually still makes boards though they are pretty sucky now, but it would disrespect the guys that came from that time and actually rode those boards.

The shape that I have is Gary Hardwicks shape. And being able to even have the real deal in my room gives me shivers when I look at it, and being able to ride a copy is pretty sweet for me. Obviously its not some epic shape, or has some ####### retarded patents like stupid krimes does, its jsut a respect thing, and I would like to keep it that way.

Very intresting setup u got there

I've got a dregs alpine chopped to 41 with a 31.75 wheelbase some randal 180's and 70mm potsngs

And an old 44 inch double kick made by s9 with a 25 inch wheel base some indy215s and yellow fat frees

[green]

44 inch double kick you say? Got pics? Want to sell it?

[gordo6987]

Nooooo I can't ever sell it I like it more than my fast setup I actualy haven't used the dregs in like 2 weeks because the s9 is soo much more fun. IT's my favorite setup since the 42 inch race I had setup for carving

edit: ye I have pics but there from a cell phone

[Squirrlyismyname]

i think the REAl issue at hand is WHY does Green have a drop thru?!?!?

[gordo6987]

^^^80a lime short cones on top and 83a lemon barrels on bottom, also the bushing is being pushed because i had to trim them since i didnt get the hybrid215's and its kinda hard to trim a cone with a kitchen knife lol.





both boards will be painted/stained or fabric'ed

sorry for the shitty cell pics btw

just got the trucks today, then skated all the way out of town to bomb some sweet roads.


the board is much shorter than i have used before, and the touhou 204's are the widest trucks i've ever used, not to mention my first precisions. with purple and red venoms, tall cone up front.

[stunt]

Comet Pagan - 50 degree Bear baseplates with 195mm Paris hangers, 90a barrels all around except for roadside tail 93a - 70mm Orangatang 86a Stimulus
Super stable and turns/slides when needed/
P.S. If anyone has or knows someone who has 75mm or bigger on this board let me know, wouldn't mind knowing the setup to deal with wheelbite.
