I need some 4 trac style fins for a 39 tnt integ, suggestions. noes and tail presses are getting boring, i want manuals and such, so suggestions.

Cabinet door handles. Go to home depot and look at the selection.

Or put your integrity fins to a sanding block and then use grip tape for fine tuning and shape them into nose manny fins.

the cabinet handles are awesome, but they break off to the side really quick, especially if you're doing manuals. they only really work for noseslides, not stuff where they're actually hitting or having pressure on em. what works the best in my opinion is the ping pong balls that josh kirby and chad thompson have on the bottom of their boards. theyre like 3/4 of a ping pong ball each where a 4 track fin would go, and then the balls are like filled with something hard, i dont know what it is, and then they're epoxied to the board in several layers. they're not removable, but if you have an extra board laying around that is the best thing mostly because 1) they DONT break...its crazy, and 2) they're good for everything: noseslides, manuals, blunts, etc. i've been usin' Kirby's board down my grandma's pool down rail and doing blunts, feebles, and noseslides, and kirby was over and nosepressed and noseblunted the big ledge. so those things are def legit, just a pain to make.

Wow ping pong balls is such a crazy idea. It's something I never would have thought of myself. I love innovation.

yeah it was def a feeble, but i want to go do a better one. from the video it looks just kinda like a gay 5050 haha. it would probably be better on like a round rail or somethin. i'm goin back this week to crooked grind it i think.

I saw a skate with 2 golfballs drilled to it. It would work exactly the same as the pingpong balls and you could take em off after.

I'm on one board right now so removable is key. Did they cut the golf ball so it was flat on one side?

ZoSo, Fin holes aren't threaded.

I'm gonna try the ping pong balls.

I made the golf balls, but the integ holes are not drilled all the way though on the side fins correct? So i will have to drill the holes out first?

Beaver, Drill the middle one out.

My camera seems to be dis-functional at the moment. I don't think half a gold ball vs. 3/4 of a gold ball will make a big difference. If it is ill make more. There easy to make.

3/4 will give you blunts.

che blanc, Half should cut it shouldnt it?

I'd go more. Better looking manuals, easier noseslide lock-ins, and stood up blunts.
