ubber frustration

[ImSoWakested]

Im just letting my frustration with the lack of a wakeskate scene in MI, i cant find any place that carries a legit selection of wakeskates, i wanna try bilevels and 5 stage rockers, and composites, and wood core, and all kinds of other boards, but i dont wanna have to buy all those boards, i guess thats what i get for living in the dirty glove. wheres my angry faces there we go

I don't think there are ANY stores that carry any bi-levels or 5 stage rockered boards...not to mention being able to demo them. They only sell them online, so you're at the mercy of other people's beliefs.

hey bruh, i live in mi myself. had an uber session today actually. i ride with the devotid guys quite a bit. if you think 5 stage might be your thing , you should try one of those. kevin is always down for ridin. i think we might be riding sunday aamof.

scott a, thats too bad that there arnt stores like that then, the local skate shop only has like 3 boards total, not even 3 different board brands, just 3 boards, all LF all 43 or 44"

[Slapdown]

ImSoWakested, That sucks.


People...

"uber"


stop. please.

[ImSoWakested]

MECHANICAL PULL, wait i just checked out the devotid website, i didnt know that was a MI company, that might have to be my next board to support the MI wakeskate scene

[kento911]

as someone who has championed and helped design a 5 stage board ( not to mention ridden one longer than most on here) I can honestly say unless you can at least try a friends I really dont reccomend buying one on testimony

[Ridehype4life]

I'm from the mitten. If i dont order stuff online, i get it from TWC if you know where/what that is. I was talking to a guy in there the other day when i was buying grip for my byerly and he told me there hopefully getting some SST's in when they come out.

t-Rex, the revolt; and I still ride one of the prototypes, I have one of the very forst omen protos ever in my grage its not very fun to ride though lol its more a collectors item kinda thing

[Slapdown]

kento911, Some of the proto's looked pretty cool. I liked the way the kicktails looked on a lot of them.

Does it ride much different from the production model?

[alexsskateswake]

wuts the deal with five stage , ive never ridden it , would u say its better or worse, than three

[stev-oh]

i just rode my friends brand new revolt, 5 stage is way different, it drags alot but is REALLY stable, i personally dont like it, but my friend that jsut switched from a 07 impulse RIPS on it even the day after he switched over, so im guessing its all personal opinion, i love my sattelyte success tho

[mikeskatesonwater]

I'm a fan of three stage...the end

[Gnarly Dancer 42]

stev-oh, what do you mean it drags?


that doesnt sound good... so you're saying that the nose rides higher in the water?

[kento911]

Slapdown, waaaaaaaaaaaaay different all the changes made were deffinately an improvement, well except one imo mine has Ptex rails and I think but I cant recall specifically that all the production models had abs

[Jesse]

I remember Justin Scott havin one that the tails were gnarly lookin on, pretty steep lookin, but interesting none the less.

[kento911]

Jesse, yeah I have one that actually predates the one your thinking of, the second proto ever made I belive Chris has the first one its pretty un-ridable we were still working out all the kinks at that point it is the most indestructable board ever but it weights 9.5 lbs
