kento911, how does it ride with the ends cut off?

reminds me of my Tech38 hahaha

it sits a little deeper, and it's got a better rotational feel, plus it's alot easier to control, next mod is a spot for the lock, for when the winch is done, I think Im going to do the same thing to my karma when I get it (it's on back order)

kento911, whats the point of buying the board if your cutting off the thing the karma/gate was made for? why dont u just buy a catalyst or something?

kento911, hahahahhaha ya true... what did you use a band saw?

seven11dmd, CABLERIDER, actually it still works pretty much the same, you don't need all that damned kicktail to make it work, and I like small boards, not to mention it still rides better that a catalyst or Byerly for my taste, plus I want the weight system that is in the karma, the lead weights are placed where skateboard trucks would be; unlike the byerly that has rods down the middle, and the catalyst which is double glassed.

EvanPark, I used a skilsaw
