    Wouldn't it be too fragile? You are supposed to trash your slide deck. Crash into trees, lawns etc.
    At the top of a hill at a very rapid speed there's only one place to go.
    At the top of a hill at a very high speed there's nowhere to go but down.

    you could negate the same amount of weight or more by switching to a smaller board, plus why is the extra weight really a problem?

    i would say weight doesn't even really matter, and that your real problem will be the board getting destroyed in the first session

    how do you "turn" a board into a foamcore?

    just cut out a hole, put foam in and glass it?

    you cannot "turn" or convert a standard deck to foamcore.
    I have a bunch of skateboards

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    Yes,Login | Facebook Just take away the evo and replace it with a slide deck.

    I thought it was a waste of time. I agree, the biggest problem is trashing your board. My slide deck is totaly trashed now, i just wanted it to look new again because i cant be bothered buying one. I think ill just fill it and paint it black.

    Thanks for the tips gyz.
