We are Godspeed Longboards based out of Calgary, Alberta - it's exciting to see such an active Canadian market on Silverfish! Special thanks to the Silverfish admins for inviting us down here.

You can check out our new site at www.godspeedlongboards.ca and see the decks we're making, but let me take an opportunity to show you a few pics and tell you about the boards:

I might just buy one on the name, I own Jesus Christ, my JC beats your Mother Mary, Does Justice fly quicker than Peace? hahahaha!
Seriously, nice boards.

Oh man... that downhill board looks sooooo good....

**Mr. Zogs** · 10-25-2005 05:21 AM

its like, hot pockets! but not really, interesting speedboard, looks sorta like the usage of brianatferalarts's dropping plate, and also sorta like my speedboard's hot pockets...

I'm interested...maybe next spring....I always like supporting Canadian companies....well done guys....good luck...I think you have a great start.

Will you be doing customs?...flex,shape, etc?

**GPymp** · 10-25-2005 07:07 AM

...hmmm all the boards are carbon fiber..isnt carbon fibre French for 2nd mortgage on home? (to pay for board that is worth more than your donated organs) They look wonderful...

hehe, for sure dude. Something could be worked out.. we're really busy till christmas unfourtunatly...

I don't think you really have to worry about Skurf... we're more of a board co-op and research facility then a company. We spend most of the profit we make on more gear to make skates....and the rest on questionable things

Its the dudes at kebbek who I think are putting our corner of the continent on the map with no-nonsense performance designs, and innovative pressing methods. Those guys are the real deal.

**mark grimace** · 10-25-2005 07:27 AM

For sure....my very next board purchace is going to be a Kebbek. They have the speed market wrapped up on the east coast. I wouldn't ever try to take that away from them.

**EBasil** · 10-25-2005 09:22 AM

These Godspeed boards look killer. Certainly a different take on design and with a flair for style.

I knew what those truck plate shrouds were the second I saw them! I was riding a board recently, where the racer mounts his hardware with the bolt heads on the underside, and leaves the threaded spikes sticking up off the top of the board (not huge, but still...) and I found myself distracted by them for a while. The carbon plates may be extravagant, but they sure are elegant.

Welcome to Silverfish Longboarding, Mark John!

We're all into checking out new ideas and decks, so it's great to see your photos and link. Post some more, then go over to the Board-Building forum and reveal your secrets...

**Godspeed Longboards** · 10-25-2005 10:32 PM

Wow! What a cool welcome! Am in the company of some pretty cool authentic boarders! About the custom orders, Mark...you need just contact me and we can discuss what it is you're looking for.

I'll post some more pics later.

Have a good ride, guys! :P

jesus titty ******* christ those are some sexy boards. wonder how the ride?

**Sensei** · 10-26-2005 05:21 AM

Cool concept with the truck hood on the speedboard. I know someone who runs a soft riser ontop of his dropthrough trucks. Sweet looking boards too.

**moxie34** · 10-26-2005 09:37 AM

Very interesting site - I like the positive feedback...it's nice. As for trade secrets, I find it hard to give something up that I've worked so long for. Blood, sweat, bruises, massive scrapes, massive road rash, sprained ankles and broken bones to get where I am today. It's kinda like your grandma's secret recipe. I still have my dayjob but one day I hope to knit our company into a great community with great skating and lots of shits and giggles.

I like this opportunity. Thanks for your support.

Skate, annoy and enjoy!
