I'm not opposed, but I think a whole new board would even things out quite nicely:
A dropped board, a couple drop throughs, and a topmount. Doesn't that just sound nice ?

Then Rus could move on to the more exotic, completely ridiculous boards with a firm foundation underneath.

I'm not trying to oppress my views, I just think it'd be a radical addition to the Factory's repertoire of lovins =)

But, seriously ... TOP MOUNTS FTW !

har… artist is a stretch… I’m just building stuff I would want to ride. If you are talking bout the stuff on my back table… aye, it’s pretty hot.

If you dropped a Dz.. it would bottom out on loose change

We have been working on a top mount for 10 months… as for dropped, and drop combinations… I’m building various tools to help skaters excel at various styles… there is so much explring to do with drop thru & dropped platform boards I don’t think I’ll ever stop messing with ‘em… they are amazing formats for skaters to do amazing things on…

Har you must be new here… we never stop changing and coming out with new stuff, the line-up is always in flux… if it has 4 wheels two trucks and a deck, the soda factory and it’s band of skinned-knee heros will be messing with it. Bank on it.

The next one to come out of the mold will probably be the last of this generation of production Knuckys.

Didn't mean to sound condemning or condescending or anything of that ilk; sorry if I did ... I'm definitely new here =) Guess who doesn't know what he's talking about !

ETA of the Topmount anywhere in sight ?
I'm drooling. A lot.

P.S. The purple formica is damn sexy.

**CarlTheSmokingCrab** · 09-14-2009 11:02 PM

Does clutch make a gnarly topmount?
Wishlist from scratch:
37 inches
29.5 inch wheelbase
10.5 inches wide, tapering to 9.875 in the back
Deep wells (no cutouts) so I can get my foot over the front truck
Able to run 70mm wheels (any bigger on a topmount is dummm)
Around .85 - 1 inch of concave (i love concave)
And I will marry, procreate, and abuse its babies.

**Longbord1** · 09-14-2009 11:08 PM

Trust me guys. If anyone has been on Rus's case about a topmount, it's me. I have been harping on him so much, he probably has nightmares from it.

Rus will make one, just try to be patient. Trust me! I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS! hahaha Rus can attest to that...

**CarlTheSmokingCrab** · 09-14-2009 11:20 PM

I <3 topmounts

**jkpvilla** · 09-14-2009 11:20 PM

Crank dat Candy Spanks. I'm shooting myself for not bringing my board with me to college.

**Rabid Skunk** · 09-15-2009 12:00 AM

Joseph, quit making everyone else jealous.

**Xgecko** · 09-15-2009 02:51 AM

Yes Rus "the Back Table",,,,,,,it had me calculating how much book money I had left

When are you gonna make a topmount??????????

**iidrum** · 09-15-2009 09:05 AM

I actually do save my coins in a jar. Started last year. To date, I've collected enough to pay for approximately half of a board from the 'Factory. Granted, two thirds of that was already spent on drums, but I'm building my coin collection back up.

**8ftbed** · 09-15-2009 09:23 AM

you want coins?

Back in the misguided and reckless days of highschool, I discovered that if you tip a foosball table over and shake, the quarters come rolling out. Apparently the box they're deposited in is not covered.

I just had a vision of a bunch of guys in jail comparing crimes and one says i killed a man to watch him die and then there's you with i flipped over a foosball table for change

Apparently this is true, but under the fooz table is also where they put that super sticky paper to catch rats... the paper (and the dead rats stuck to it) are hard to get chased down the street with when wrapped around yer leg. In fact, the rats and paper will remain till after bail is posted and you get home to some acetone. Long story short... it wasn't worth the $ 11.75 in change.
