This shows the flame design and the carbon fiber.

The board has Randal RII 180's, Garvity Queens Of The Stone Age wheels, Bones swiss bearings, and black Jessup grip tape. It is 44 inches long with a 25 inch wheel base and 10 inches wide. It's carves are fluid and crisp and it handles speed really well. http://silverfish.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?t=774

Congratulations, Lady and Gentlemen.
It looks sweet, but now you have to get the mailing addresses of every 'fish, so that we can all test it.

...when you put the front truck on straight......its crooked

[zzzMarcus]

Last night i noticed the same thing. I thought maybe it was just that they were new bushings though--sometimes they kind of stick.

The front truck does look crooked though...

[BEN]

The front truck IS on straight. The trucks are brand new so they didn't return to center. Also when I bomb hills and ride in a straight line the board goes straight so Ha.

[BEN]

Look at the base plate they are straight, and in pic 3 you can see that the hanger is tilted.

[RabidSantaClaus]

Yeah, only i would make a technical error like that.

[solachola0]

That's just a prototype and looks like you're headed in the
right direction there rabid....

out of curiosity though, how do you make sure the base plates line up straight on the underside? do you edge a perpendicular line with a ruler and then put the edge of the plate against it or something?

i know my new trucks sometimes look like that before
the bushings are broke in a little...but one of the pics,
and it could be an optical illusion sure, i think it's the first
one...the upper left edge of the baseplate looks just a tad
higher than the right...

emphasis on 'looks' ok?

anyone with the patience and time to build a board at all gets a
:thumb: in my book....

[RabidSantaClaus]

Yeah, the light tricked me also, it is an optical illusion. If you have any ideas (albeit design) for Rabid Longboards boards, please email me at

see
below.

I run a square off the centerline, and drill before sanding that line off.

v nice looking good needs some work on the paint job, if you want flames im your man there most of my work that i do at school is on fire or coverd with flaming 8-balls or flaming dice so ive got fairly good at it. if i can be asked to draw up a 45 x 10 flame effect ill take a pic of it and post it here full size (got to make it under 1 mg though. hmm a chalange) that'l be fun watch this space.

to see an 'alright' example of my handywork look in general disgustion and my post titld 'NEW STUFF'.

[RabidSantaClaus]

it was a prototype, ( santa is wearing a lab coat standing in front of a chalkboard filled with complex math equations like 1+1=2 and trying to look professional) ath, can you send me some flame designs? also we need to coat the paint better.
