In case you ever need more sales (I'm sure you're backed up already), short videos of the boards in action are what many companies lack, but are incredibly helpful for people like me and perhaps others.

Thank you for being an active member of the Silverfish community. Your work doesn't go unnoticed even to those who have yet to experience Galac Land Surfing.

P.S. that Jeff Ho Zephyr board is screaming to be ridden!

Thanks a lot, I really apreciate your words. Yeah, I'm going to be doing more video
in the near future... I'm working out the plans for a (How To Pump 101) video
which I plan on getting done in the next month or so...
I agree, that Zephyr board made my eyes bug out when I walked up to it..

Yours is hanging and the paint it curing up right now Chris..
Soon, soon, soon....
I finally had the time to set the POD up, I'm waiting on Bennetts/Alligators for it.
But for now I had some RTX/S 106mm trucks, and some black dyed 66mm
78a Zig Zags and a little wedging/dewedging and some spare Biltins...
So here it is setup close to what I have in mind...
I took it for a quick little ride out in my street... Instant accelleration, this thing
will pump with nearly zero effort... The wheelbase is perfect, it's not as twitchy as you might
expect from something this small...
I really think I created something
small and fun here... I think you could make it through a cyber slalom course
with 4 ft offset/center cones on this....

showin some galac love

[samhell]

Right on ! It looks like you have a great setup on it..
How do the Sanuk shoes work on it for pumping?

I have just added the "Galacized" Bennett truck
to my site... They are going to sell for $50.00 shipped
within the continental US.. They are avaialalble now.
These are a Bennett that has had the hanger sanded and buffed,
the bushing seats are smoothed out, the pivot it sanded and polished.
The hangers are are faced, the pivot cup is replaced with a Khiro that
has been sanded and buffed and lubricated. Includes steel spacers.
They feature custom bushing/washer setups.
The come in 7 colors and the colors can be mixed and matched..
They are going to be a very smooth riding/turning Bennett...

yahh dude galac decks are badass like that. flatcave is wayy more comfortable and mr galac's gnar gnar grip can hold your feet down just as well

Haha... flatcave. My Bigfish got me stoked on wider decks, and shallow concave. I'm really psyched for my GTCPLDP. Can't wait.

The details on the Slalom deck are still under wraps...
setting up a slalom board is one of the most technical skate setusp you're
ever going to deal with, but it's so worth it once you have it dialed..
I'll do everything I can to help you out, the slalom forum in here
can be a great resource..

Ha... I love it "flatcave"...

Your GTCP s coming out beautiful.... Another grape in the books..
Seems everyone wants grape lately, I swear, I sell more grape decks than all the others put together...But then.........It is a really sweet color and it looks edible...

The red and white custom GTCPLDP I've been working on is finally finished.
It's ready to be picked up by its new owner...
This board is begging for a 20 miler...



And a set of Big Zigs I dyed a couple of days ago.. Wheel dying fun!

I thought you were going to be ordering a pink one with
yellow polka dots.... And the strawberry shortcake graphics..

[Cruzer]

I'll post some picks of mine one the big80's are on it =)

I can't wait to see it with Big 80's on it.. You might want to add an extra 1/4"
of shock pad riser to it, especialy in the front, those Big 80's look like
wheelbite troublemakers if things aren't set up right....
Man your top end speed will be great, but pumping from a standstill will
be a serious workout with those big shoes on it...
That will definately be a high gear pumper with huge wheels on it...

That's one fine looking set up. I've been watching this board take shape for a while and I've got to say that this is one of your best. I love the custom paint, graphics and dyed wheels. Every deck you make is a one-of-a-kind original. Great job!

[samhell]

Thanks Sleeveless, you know I appreciate it!
Yeah, and if he doesn't come pick it up soon,
I'll have no choice but to take it out and ride it..

[Cruzer]

yummy,Galac




showing the monster width

[samhell]

Cruzer, those Big 80's look insane on that..
The pink with the grape deck is a delectible
combo, it actually makes me want to go buy
some candy today.... And I don't even eat
candy that often...
How do you like the Big 80's on it?
I have never tried them, are they super grippy?
I'm going to be picking up some Centrax's
as soon as they're available....
Chaput told me that they will be available
in 2 sizes, first a 77mm or something like that,
then a 80 something mm size....
Those Big 80's look like some serious meat
and potatoes, they must be smooth as butter...
Go ride that baby man!
