Comet- A freeride/fun time deck

[jason]

All I can say is wow. I am so psyched to be a part of this. The board looks awesome, glad I live on the East Coast-shipping. The nose looks spot on from the pics. I was actually thinking of getting some 42* Randals (from MHS of course) to try on this deck as well.
Jason-grade A musical inspiration, I forgot about Radio Birdman-must revisit them for sure. Just curios on what era Miles Davis, Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew?

I have this live at filmore vinyl which is a lot like bitches brew tunes. totally insane. also kind of blue stuff mixed in... we'll see what happens tmrw. Actually screen printing tons of boards so it will have to be some clash.

At first, I was kinda sketchy about everybodys inputs and I didnt really care much about this board but I gotta admit, it turned out perfect. If it wasnt so wide it would fit me better though. Great job. This is what skateboard companies are supposed to.

[Mile_High_Mark]

looks that way but still not getting any rub...
the kingpins are finger tight too.

you should be test pilot mark ... ha

I'm always open to trying new things. I weigh 210 and generally run 85a bushings with very loose trucks, so I tend to "find things."

Clash seems appropriate, I also had Richard Hell / Voidoids on the brain for some reason.

I don`t think that should be an issue, with the concave and rocker it should provide plenty leverage for smaller feet. I have baby feet at size 8.5 and my 10" wide Hellcat doesn`t feel too wide at because of it`s deep concave, but we`ll see when I get the proto.

Derv, I`m only 36 and still growing.

Would it be possible to put wheelwells on it, similar to the hellcats. It looks almost as if wheelbite is achievable in both pictures, but I dont imagine it can lean much more. You need to be able to fit 75mm wheels no problem. We shall see what the test rders to say. Id be tickled pink if it werent possible, because theres a goodsized standing platform with that sized cutouts.

Did these ship out this weekend or no?

[grimble]

also do we need to get grip tape?
i'm going into town tomorrow, i'd like to know if should pick some up.

cheers.

[ridesnow.]

i would say get some grip tape, can't hurt. Embarrassingly, I've already got all my tape laid out and ready to go.

haha! you're so bloody stoked!
nothing embarassing about that.

i ordered some new wheels. looking forward to them arriving.

my grip tape will have to be gnarly non-slip stair edging.

[ridesnow.]

Good call on that. I got some 3m safety walk for my heels and toes, it's good stuff.

[ridesnow.]

It's my favorite grip next to insect grip... I try and save money by not doing the whole board though....
