Bi level weight?

[Gnarly Dancer 42]

any idea on how much a bi level weighs?





i mounted my devotid top deck to my hyperlite scape bottom deck using some skateboard bushings for trucks and it weighs 13.5 pounds. i was wondering if that weight was close to the normal weight of a bi level.


anyways i'll ride it today and i see if i like countinuous rocker over 5 stage on a bi level

ive seen between 10-13 pds. which is crazy cause my homemade skate is like 7 pds.

the weight of my bi-level is around 12 pounds. it is WAY more consistant on 3shuvs than my lighter 7-8 pound boards ive ridden. soooo much more consistant.

i wonder how much my vinyl weighs, cause that thing is a beast.

Gnarly Dancer 42, do u got any pics

[bmr712]

the vinyl is probly between 7-9 pds. weigh yourself on a scale and then wieght your self again holding the board and see how much your weight increased. thats if you have a digital scale if not you can just place it on the scale.

[goride]

i couldnt find my scale, but from what i read its supposed to be 10 lbs.

[bmr712]

o, i don't have a vinyl but the would seem about right probably.

[goride]

i couldn't imagine riding a board that weighs anymore than my vinyl. But apparently the whole cassette team could kill it on 13lb bi-levels.

[bmr712]

yeah it is like 13 pds. you wouldn't think that thing would float but they do kill it on the 13 pd boards. it is crazy. i can't imagine my 7pd homemade skate and then riding a 13 pd board.

the new ronix bilevel weights 13,5 pd
the lemons weights 7,5 pd
that's a difference!

[bmr712]

that is. like a 6 pd difference. thats why i like my non bi-level board

[goride]

cant really say cause i havnt ridden a bi-level yet and i hear that a lot of ppl love them. My vinyl weights quit a bit but i think it can pop it harder than most lighter boards out there.

mc.willz, i cant take pictures right now, because my two cameras are broken, but picture this:

and this for the bottom deck (bad picture of this board by the way)

anyway, i learned that i absolutly hate 5 stage rocker and that skateboard bushings work 10x better than rubber riser trucks





when i first got up with the Scape as the bottom deck i instantly knew it was going to ride really good. 5 stage rocker feels like someone nailed a piece of wood to the bottom of your board and its draging there the whole time, and continuous rocker feels like you're gliding on top of the water.


so my suggestion to devotid, make the bottom decks either continous rocker or 3 stage, and make smaller trucks or just use skateboard bushings-they work just as well.

Im making a legacy like board and after fiberglass on both kicktails and one side bondo'd it is already pushing 10+. I've ridden the deuce pop and I was scared to go w2w cus of the weight
