 |
|
I know I posted this at the end of the other post, but I wanted to sorta drop the bad stigma that that post was left with, anyways heres what I was told:
I have news for you guys, I was able to talk to Brandon Thomas, and he said that Hyperlite is supposedly going to double glass their skates to make them feel more like wood, I felt his; niiiiiiice good weight, not too heavy, also he hinted that wood skates may be making a comeback in the hyperlite line courtesy of Parks, possibly with grip tape!!! He also showed me how he modified his kick tails by cutting them down which makes them wider, and a little less cumbersome, he also said he would like to "mellow the edges out some" so it edged more like a wood skate however he said the soonest the tails might change would be mid season 05.
However I am severely pissed that Hyperlite hasn't responded to my email, and I feel that the riders and reps carry the weight of public image for jerk-offs in corporate, but hey Hyperlite you can prove me wrong by giving me some response, you know it is customary to RESPOND to customer feed back!!!

sounds prommissing, i like the idea of double glassing them. I never had a problem though with the tails being to narrow though

yeah, but that seems to be a common problem with the board for alot of other people, trust me though the tails are alot sicker

don't know I don't wheelie, If brandon gets his way and the edges are detuned, I'd imagine it will ride totally different, but Im not sure; I didn't ride it
