The day I met Joshua Steele he was trying out a board from Liberation, today I was riding and saw him on a Butter skate, I was wondering if eny one has tried it, and were they are being sold, if it even rides good.

glad to hear it's official with you and steele.

don't ride something just because you saw a "pro" or "am" or a "superstar" ride it. it could be a "$$rep$$" in disguise.

a wild guess: it's a liberation painted to appear like a butter skate.

You should always ride a board thats adaquit to your size. A board thats to big you will not be able to throw around as easy. Concave seems like the way to go, with how advanced riding is today.

P.S. to cold to ride, hows the rail holding up that we built...

Wakesk8er1234, Basically they brought in new people working at Kampus and some of them did not agree with a team rider reping as well. Whitch made no sence considering that I opened up about 25 new accounts my 1st month reping for them. But its cool Steve, Leif, Doyle, and Duane are killer guys and I wish them the best. Duane is the man, he hepled me out like you would not believe. Right now like I told Parky I'm try companys boards, and taking my time so I can sign with the best company for me and them as well...

Wkaesh8er1234, How do you like your new boat, I actually just signed with with Centurion though a shop here in Texas called the boat superstore. I'm stoked I've been working very hard for a boat sponsor, were actually going to be working a 10 day boat show nexted week for Centurion.

Joshua Steele, howd you get a boat sponsor? i thought that only like grubb had a boat sponsor and they are hard to get or soemthing? is it a full sponsor or is it just getting better prices on boats?

The owner of the store is getting a price on a boat, then in return he will lend it to me for 9 months untill the new modles come out. Thats the way it works with all boat sponsors, you use the boat then give it back and they sell it. But there are critiries for the sponsor ship whitch you must do. Like working the boat shows all 3 of them a year. The shows are 10 days long 8 - 8 all day, but its fun. Your requiered to do demo's and boat test when ever they need you to... So it's not like they give you a boat and say here you go have fun, its not like that, believe me its been a long long time coming... I'm also using there boat in photo shoots, pics for ad's, and I'll be trailoring the boat on my tour...

David Legler the butter board is 42 in.

The butter board rips. Has a great rocker line, and small moulded fins like the old style belmont. These make it track to the wake really well, and still release nicely for shuv-it variations. Plus it has a rail base that's really tough.
