2007 Byerly Skate

scott a, i did, i also watched it crack down the middle from end to end Shocked

ouch

i rode the legacy yesterday too, i like it. it has a LOT of concave, and it might be weird for some people. i definitely think it will appeal much more to people who skateboard more. it stays with your feet so good when you want it to, and has amazing pop. its not quite as heavy as i thought it would be too, it feels good, and it rides kinda deeper in the water like a wood skate. i think im goona ride one this year, the more i rode it the more i liked it.

i rode the same one as mr bad luck and it was cool cuz i skateboard. its like riding a skateboard. i liked it for popping ollies and i liked doin ollie norths on it but it takes awhile to get used to.

Yeah ive been thinking about the legacy as well it looks like a solid board. ow high are the kicktail i know they are huge town.

the kicktails IMO are too dramatic. the concave is super deep. i kinda liked the concave.
kyle41, yes it was the impulse

Bad Luck, same thing happened to mine today. it was my first time ridding it

wakemitch, that sucks dude, i dont know what the deal is, i thought those boards were gonna be made in canada now...

i rode the legacy some more today, i like how it feels behind the boat. the kicktails are definitely steep, and the board takes some getting used to, but the more i ride it the more i like it.

Bad Luck, wakemitch, i just ordered a walton from buywake on sat. it should get here like tuesday but do yall think it would be smart to coat it with a sealer? did it delam or just crack?

CarterOG308, seal wont help it because only the sides are exposed. nothing happened to the bottom or side(well, paint cracked a lot)what happened to my board was the board cracked from tip to tail down the center. so the board is curved a little now. you can really feel it because the middle is raised a lot on the tips.

wood decks just do not hold up, it really sucks because I really like the wood feeling, but they do not last very long, that is why i am so temped to switch back to composite so i dont have to deal with broken boards all the time

gorath112, yes they do, if you get teh right construction and sealant. oak, sattlyte and devotids boards last a while, hell my k39 lasted me 6 months. the lf's are just poorly contructed...at least the 06's were
