Where the BE40 riders at?

[juachoutnow]

freakin sweet. rip that sh!t

[lalit]

The BE40 is my main board, especially for parks and bowls. I also really like it at lansdowne, a 70's snakerun park though I have to put softer wheels on for that. . . it's a sick board. I used ride the carve 39, which is also sick, but I like the deeper concave on the BE40.

After 20 years of not skating in a bowl or pool, I re-learned how to drop-in and grind the coping on my BE40. I'm using shorter, but wider boards for the pool now, but use the BE40 (with 62mm DTF wheels) for sliding and cruising parks.

Just got my BE40 today for park/sliding/cruising set up with indy 149's, and 85a rat bones and I am in love. Before this i was skating the park with my hyper carve set up with little tiny hard wheels and indy 129's until i snapped it ollying a 4 set. Pop is great on the BE40, I can ollie as high as I can with a normal short board, if not higher.

Parks, street, ditches...

Classis wood for sure. The BE40 is a hammer.

Haha yea. it actually works pretty well, due to the trucks/wheels being so light its a bit easier to ollie. I also Remounted my trucks back a wee bit, i shifted them so that the front bolts were in the back holes and drilled new ones for the back bolts, which, again made it a little easier to ollie. I could just about ollie a deck with it , but not quite.

No pics sorry . and i won't have any, its bwoken.

[Gs-boards]

awww, that sucks. Im now making a little movie of me street skating with it, just some boardslides and bonelesses and nocomplys and that oldschool stuff.

[Uhde]

Sick! I was acctually starting to film a vid with mine, and my very first go at the 4 on film It busted haha. Always love watching people rip it up on Carves.

[smallss]

thats why you stomp those bolts.

when my hypercarve breaks, i think im gonna order a minicarve because my hypercarve is a little bit heavy for me. im only 13 years old (i know, it says 19 but im 13 ).

[Uhde]

Yeah I will probably get a mini carve at some point in time too. I wouldn't worry about breaking it too much, I abused mine extremely for 6 months skating almost every day before it broke, and i'd bet i weigh more than you (175 Lbs).

[snozzboarder55]

im trying to sell my be40 if anyone is interested. 45 shipped. its a great board

HC 47 ollie

There a video in this thread with a fairly healthy ollie around the one minute mark... The trick to getting a HC or Mini Carve is to go low, snap hard, and flatten the board out with the front foot. And smaller trucks on the HC/MC are a hoot! They can turn a flow machine into a hotrod for sure!

U don't wanna see mines, the tail is full of screws to keep my foam kicktail to my board, no graphic left and lost 1 inch and a half of tail and maybe half a centimeter of width.

Sick video. The Mini Carve is a great board, partically inspired by this thread I took mine out yesterday. The video gave me some good ideas.

By the by i just changed the setup on my BE40. it now has tracker 149's with angled wedges and bones 62mm DTF. It took me a while to get used to smaller trucks (I previously had Ace66) but like it much better this way.

THANKS!

I've been going through a deep Mini Carve phase and even have myself a little quiver going: for street and park I've got a mini set on ACE 22's with 24" Crooks rails and Gravity Sergio Sliders (they're also GREAT Park wheels) For freeboard-slide-street-cruz one set on ACE 33's, 24" Crooks, and OG 70mm Kypto Classics. And for downhill one set on Randal 150/42 with Gravity HiGrades...

If I were going to be stranded on a concrete desert island and could only bring one cue it would be a mini carve for sure.

That BE40 sound right for real. I'm big into thinner trucks; snappier sharper turns I think.

gotta find some stairs/ledges and other things to boardslide/boneless off with my hypercarve and Carve 39...
