bi-level top decks going 3 times Shocked

slap on some grip and go

for me i would want an assymetrical, with a wider nose than tail. bear in mind this is just my preference. make her a few plys thicker, and a hair more concave.......

that thing is sick as is though....so who am i to say..........slap some grip and see how she handles.

nice work

it looks sick. i'd say add a few plys too. what kind of wood is that anyway? that's cool though because you can choose everything, but choosing your own weight is cool. put a layer of fiberglass on the bottom for strength? just throwing stuff out there.

its made of 3 layers of 1/4" ply and its kinda heavy. how do most of you feel about weight of your skate?

TrevorT, where can i get my hands on one of these "Poop!" boards?

Gnarly Dancer 42, you'll have to order from our online site, PoopBoards.com.

You can check out our DogPoop line, as well as our CatPoop line, and if you wait another few weeks, we have a BirdPoop line coming out as well!

did you ride it yet? Did the rocker work? It looks like it might be kind of abrupt. One other thing to experiment with on a future shape is a waist width and taper towards the nose and tail (so the waist is obviously wider). Sort of a reverse side cut type jobby. your shape is very "lunch tray"--kind of like the k39 Cool

. But otherwise, sick! Again, it's cool to see these homemade boards from people. Cool

Sick job brow... i just dont like to much this kid of rocker, too much faceted, like the byerly.... generaly the pop is smoother with a progressive tangent radius rocker line...
