do you still make decks with hemp inside? and does it really work for dampening? i was always curious about this

[rayzor tattoos]

all i can say is WOW

so the Knuckle Dragger was what Max was sliding on....looking forward to seeing more of your creations...

I'm pretty sure the knuckle dragger has hemp....essentially hemp is like any fabric it gets wetted and layered in the pressing, it just has better vibration absorption characteristics than glass or carbon at a similar weight

A few folk have inquired about the snakeskin board done for the building competition and it has been claimed already… But, production prototypes are going to be available starting with this one: (without snakeskin of course)

Airotica “Hoodwalker”




52” slight cambered Doublekick. 9.2” wide ½” concave 6.5” tail for easy mannys 5.25” nose… this one has a slightly shorter wheelbase at 32”+ Construction is a mix of 66% maple 33% Birch with fiberglass & Pink formica Bottom Skin. Ungripped.
This board is a total blast and pretty light…good for riders up to 180lbs. or so, great carver and manual machine drilled old school. The hoodwalker is a work in progress and we’re playing with a lot of material mixes so we can build it affordably and tweaking the design to get the most fun out of it.
This one is yours for $110+ shipping

ooooh sounds really nice. When do you think the topmounts are going to be released and is there a chance that some of them could be composites?

[Xgecko]

Knukleduster right....I have a set I took off a kid on the boat somewhere its always amusing when people think they can move faster than an expandable baton....

what's the "normal" WB gonna be for the "Hoodwalker"

Guess is between 32-33.5" the one you rode was 33" I think... all these numbers are starting to jumble... a long day. Har har you and that baton! Kids lucky you didn't have that spear handy!

wow the WB was really that short? felt longer....still I could deal with the front a little further out there.

I was working...it was either Baton or gun and at that time I had no desire to shoot anyone (still don't)....I didn't even break his wrist but he was bruised for weeks

did you use hemp in the knuckleduster, or blackbirds?

[Xgecko]

though I'm not scratch I'm pretty sure the answer is yes on both accounts, especially the Blackbirds

[Archy]

I'm pretty sure there are three different names so when you buy one of each--you know you want to--you can justify it to yourself and those dear to you who might be inclined to ask, "Why the #### do you need three skateboards from one company?"

Damn, i'd love to ride one of those. Too bad I don't have the skills to shred one appropriately.
