I'm not sure if 15* concave will be enough and I'd like to know how well it works for not only DH, but cruising as well.

Alright well i know there is a guy on the washington dc skate team that has one so i will try to contact him. Ill let you know if he can throw down a review for you.

We had some dead links on the site, of which I was unaware.

Now you can easily get to the Graphics and Gallery Section:

I believe your Tech page is also dead, XVD.

On a different note, is there any way you can get me the CarbonSpeed44 template so I can make it custom?

I can't for the life of me get the one on the website to work. Surprisingly enough, my photoshop can't open a .pdf, nor my adobe for some reason.

I'm super tempted to order a custom CS44, and beg for a tiny bottom image.

I want this in the bottom left hand corner, pretty small but still noticeable.

hes out of town at the moment, when he and our other DH rider get back im going to get on them for a review, dont worry

Awesome guys, thanks a lot. I'll look forward to it.

And yea, I think that pedobear image is epic. The official seal in the middle would be funny, but I think that'd overdo it a bit. That little one in the bottom left would be just perfect.

Rob, if you're reading this, think you can make it possible?

you'll probably get a quicker more direct response if you ask via email

Yea I know, but I won't be back in Arizona [where I live] till July 23-24, so if I do decide to order it, it won't be till then.

I'm in no rush

just remember it will probably take about a month to receive your board after you order, so if i were you id be anxious to get my hands on my new deck and want it as soon as possible haha. maybe youre a more patient man than i haha

Possibly, I've been going over 4 weeks with no skating. Once I get back home from Argentina on the 23-24, I still have my s9 to fool around with till I buy this [hopefully] or another I find.

i was asked for some of my thoughts on the stoagie, so here they are:

the stoagie is tight, it works really well in nice flowing lines like in a bigger bowl or pool. in more abrupt transition i felt like my front foot wasnt locked in as well, a little more nose or a slight kick would have been nice. the tail was very fuctional, but if it was maybe a little longer i feel like the board would have had more pop for ollies and stuff. even so, as it was the board had enough pop to get up curbs and stuff, i learned no-complys on this board. so in a nutshell i would really mostly recommend the board if youre planning on skating a bigger, smoother pool, but we have one with some big soft wheels that is used for filming purposes very often. a note on wheels/wheelbite: i ran no skoolz with loose shortboard trucks (thunder trucks) and a 1/4 inch of riser with no bite.

hope this helps anyone who is considering enjoying a stoagie in the future
