Thats just a cassette concave. They are great boards if they don't delam.

its a 4trac. They didnt get much attention due to the bilevels being release with them. Ive only heard of a couple people who have ridden them but havent heard anything bad.

I dont know if warlock is still around here but I know he had a 2005 4trac. I'm pretty sure his held up just fine.

Greg T, I didn't see any 4-Trac fin holes. Did the '05's have them? I thought the 4-trac fins were kind of the point of the deck...

Slapdown, thats a good point. I don't know if they had them or not. I guess they didnt call the decks 4tracs in 05. But I would assume they have a similar shape.

I don't know what the deal is with the holes, becuase I noticed the 06 boards no longer came with pre-drilled holes and they're just called "concaves" now. When thomas posted a pic of one of his samples back in july of 05, that board did have the 4-trac holes, and that concave line was called the 4-trac line on their catalog/poster. But when I bought one of those boards a couple of months ago, I noticed that it didn't have the holes drilled in it. I can think of a couple of reasons as to why that feature may have been nixed (at least for the time being), but it's just speculation so I'm not even going to post it.

electricsnow,

You have an 06 4 trac?

No, I just noticed that from their little pictures and the alliance buyer's guide.

Vance Collins · Guest

Oh I read it wrong. So you have an 05 than?

It's OK, I may have not written that clear enough. Yeah, I managed to find an 05 42. It was one of those crazy situations where the shop kept it at full price because "cassette is no longer with us"...like profiting on someone's supposed demise, when in reality, it should have been a blow out. Whatever.

Here is a 05 42 Concave....ungripped and never ridden. it was my impression that this was dubbed "4-trac" in 2005 although the concave and weight are vey different than my 03 4-trac.
