What's the difference in a 3-stage vs. 5-stage (never heard of that one)???
I assume it (5-stage) has more rocker? How many inches? |

i think the more stages it it means it has more angles in it to get to that rocker _________________ ~~~~~*~~~~~

well Ill assume your referring to the omen, which is basically a blended 3 stage with some very mellow kicktails look at the picture of the board you should be able to pick out the 5 stages _________________ why dont you try playing hide and go Fvck yourself |

RedXIII, True, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is more rocker, just a different way of going about creating that rocker. The Devotid 5 stage is really easy to point out and the omen isn't too hard. I heard it gives more of a skateboard feel on the pop and i liked that Can't wait for my omen  _________________ - Evan Molina |

all L13 concaves this year are 5-stage, it is nuts, they pop so high, like the board I learned that kickflip on was a 5-stage. the cool thing about L13 5-stages this year is that each part is quite flat so you can really get onto a true nose or tail slide or press on a rail without any type of lock fin gimmick, i was doin crazy back tails on an incline box during the L13 video shoot week.
ill post some pics of the new L13 5-stages as soon as i get a chance. |

sounds cool. Are the L13 boards wood or composite? |
