SEVEN11, thats not true. They can be returned to there factory shape. But if is done wrong you will void your warranty. I ride the same set up that Erich rides. round in the middle 12-14 inches and the rest factory...

Please post picture of your sanded rails...
I'd like to see the modifacations people have done...

also, if you don't get to crazy with sanding it you should be able to sharpen and soften the rail a few times...
I've switched mine up 4 times on the same skate... no problem.

I did mine different from everyone elses. I started about 4 inches from the nose and tail, and rounded it all the way. So there is about 4 inches to the nose and tail of the skate that is sharp, and the rest is dull. I rode it today for the first time since I sanded it and it rode alot better than before I sanded it. The board felt a little bit lower in the water, which is what I liked. Slowed it down a little bit, which is good, but it still hauls ass when you get on it for w2w. Landed a nice popped w2w 180 today, my first one that I actually got big air on and landed without casing the wake. I could pop my ollies alot higher too, not to mention my shuvits.

The pictures are kinda shiznackle, I guess i couldnt get the right angle. Confused

Where'd you find a Liberation for sale? I've been looking to get one along with my Integrity and Bi-Level.

I rounded the edges a little bit from around where the channels start- I didn't dull them quite as much as Vance, but in the middle I dug in a little more... both sides don't feel totally even... yet.

Alrite, thanks alot. I just checked out the website, it looks like the shop has some legit companies, Integrity, Liberation, Kampus, etc...
I'm really excited to get this board, so do you know how much it's gonna cost?
