    Default happy graduation stinee, here ya go buddy....baseplates will be done soon

    these are the best ones yet....but not the last








    the ends of the hangers are no longer square, i chamfered them to a 30 degree angle, and the ends are the exact size of a bearing inner race.

    they are 180mm wide, and can easily be run at either 180, or 200 depending on how you set up the spacer, and if you have 2 5mm spacers, 190mm, all without having to change the axle length.

    sandblasted finish, then the logo was cut so its actually a shiny logo, on a matte hanger, then 12 coats of clear.....

    they look even better in person

    I took a bad fall on 5/24/2008 at Mt. Baker, went off the road and fell down the side of the mountain. I went into a coma, badly broke my pelvis, lacerated my liver and almost died on the mountain AND later in the hospital. The rehabilitation therapists had to teach me how to do everything again...everything.

    I survived that mountain because of my helmet...WEAR ONE and send your family to the hospital, not the morgue.

    The beveled/chamfered hanger face is a really nice touch.

    Those are the most amazing set of longboard trucks I have ever seen ! Those are even better looking than JimZ's!! I bet you could sell those for more than $500 dollars a truck!!!

    Oh hohoho....wait until you see the full thing mounted and ready to ride. I'm so proud of this setup...pics within a week, as soon as these arrive. Massive props to Chris and Julian for two amazing pieces of equipment and a huge thanks to my parents for the best graduation gift I could have asked for.

    Oh and Chris...thank you so much for getting those done in time, I know I've thanked you a lot but I wanted to make it public. Despite everythign on his plate, Chris managed to get these cranked out in record time...so I can race them in Vermont. Chris deserves the highest recommendation as a fantastic guy to do business with and skate with.

    thanks dude, represent in vermont, i wish i could be there, but the money situation at the present time will not allow me to go.....

    on a side note, im still working on getting these things into production, its just really, REALLY hard to go to shops and get quotes when im going to school full time, and working full time

    those look amazing. i wish i could do stuff like that.

    just wondering since i know nothing about manufacturing and metals, how much are they really worth, like if you just bought a big chunk of metal for a pair of trucks and baseplates, and what does is cost to make them?

    I think its about 200 or so...maybe a bit more when everything is taken into account. Actually...it might be as much as 300

    Well those just outright kick ass.

    How long is the process to produce a set? You must have and amazing shop setup.
