kampus looks like its got some pretty bad ass skates. anyone got info on them or opinions. im hoping to get either a 38 or a 39 cuz my 4trac (42) is way to big for me. im short.

I don't know how they ride and i would suggest the 40' or 41' Cassette, but the shape seems to be similar to a skateboard deck and the ones I looked at didn't have any grip tape or foam. I dont know if its supposed to be that way or what, but it was clear on top and sumwut slick

i have the 42 and its way to big for me. i like a smaller board. im a big skateboarder and b/c of that i like a smaller "skateboard like" feel to my board. thats why i want a small board like the 38 or 39. and chris--they dont have grip tape or foam. they have a sand grip type stuff. i dunno.

hey, i totaly understand...thats y i have the 40' cassette, but what i found is that with a smaller, more sk8board deck, you tend to fall more and its harder to land stuff. I'd heard about the Kampus grip, but i thought it was supposed to be tacky....but i was feelin it at the expo and it seemed slick - mabe when it get wet it works or sumthin

Well, first I'll ask: Have you considered Mutiny? They come in a 39.5 and you can choose the type of grip.

That said, Kampus is doing some pretty cool things with their designs. Just remember to add Mutiny into the equation.
