rode the 4 trac the first time today. i knew it was good even at the first ollie i had!

the first trick i try is a kickflip, i land it first try.

its got really good pop wake to wake and fs 1's are way easier.

so im riding some more, and i decide to try a varial flip, and i land that first try. (first one ever!) then later i try some flats frontside flips, fall on like 6 then i get it like 7th try. such a good feeling! i learned two new flip tricks in one day, without having to get used to the board at all!

all the flip tricks that used to rotate inconsistant on my sst, i can rotate pretty much every try. this board is a TRUE skateboard feel. when i variel fliped, it felt like i was actully on a skateboard.

basically this is the best wakeskate i've ever ridden. no exaggerations at all.

didnt get the frontside flip on cam but here ya go

wow......kicky and varial first try. Birthday

it truly is magic.

i cracked mine today Confused

but plenty of hammers have had, and plenty more await.....in the cracks.

it's good too see someone pick up an old used deck, fix it up like new and get out there and land a new trick first try. nice work

thomas horrell_= albert einstein

the assymetrical shape gives masterous aerodyamicity

i love watching people pick up a board that seems like it would be so old technology and just get absolutely stoked on it. those boards were just so far ahead of their time that they're still blowing minds today.

Wow you suck. 1) because you get to ride all the time 2) because you are now ridiculously good I can't believe you're doing varials and fs flips now 3) you got a 4trac FO FREE

Haha looks sick though man, nice job on refinishing it. And yes I would love to draw all over that puppy. Real sick vid too, congrats on the new tricks.

That board was made for Kyle Kearns.

Seriously man. Wow. Until now i've never been a particular fan of your style (no offense). But wow. I don't know if it's just that i haven't seen a video of you in a long time or what, but you definitely shred that board the way it was made to be shredded.
