Shore Drive... Thanks so much! That might save me on the website. I normally design the website as a complete Photoshop entity and then slice it up and drop it into Dreamweaver. This could save me the headache of html.

Thanks Slapdown... I'll keep you in mind.

ES, congrats. So many would just walk away and lay blame for the failure, glad to see someone who live up to his company's name. Awesome. Are you staying in the same local? I spend a lot of time in souther Oregon would love to check out the new shop when it's going.

What are you looking to do with your website? Do you want Flash animations and photo albums and all that kind of stuff or are you going for simple and dignified? The new (cs3) version of Dreamweaver (creative Suite) has some pretty cool features/templates that are easily customized.

Thanks Again.

Don't Give UP, Don't Ever Give UP!

Thanks Guys We really appreciate the support !

Everything is falling together better then expected... The quality / design and craftsmanship going into 2008 is going to really up the ante on all fronts.

Check out some of the stuff we are working on:

We have a limited release Bamboo/composite core coming out (talk about POP) with a single piece urethane sidewall !!! imagine your skateboard wheel as the sidewall / tip /tail impact protection system... This will be sold with custom color sidewall when you order. (this is 50% Done still being dialed in then ride testing) Please forgive me if the custom color sidewall doesn't happen I'm not 100% certain we can do it yet.

For all the Hippies at heart... We have a GREEN deck 100% recyclable materials with (hemp) fibers substituting the fiberglass... with a green sidewall. (Save the planet, Right) (40% Done)

Nick and Ryan's Pro models... (20% Done)

Just a mini taster... for now!

Got to go my tater-tots are burning.

school bus yellow >>>>>>>> you, your mike n ike's AND your dog.

yep...it's on...

scott a, OH SNAP. now that is just untrue. if you ever meet my dog you will finally understand all that is magsters, perfection.

Schmaltz, I am very pumped on this. that bamboo core seems pretty damn fancy. and the urethane sidewalls are a great idea. i beat my rails up so bad they look like magne-traction.
will the sidewalls still be reshapeable?

Schmaltz, not sure if you know or are familiar with the snowboarding brand RIDE... but the sidewalls you are doing on the 08 skates are they anything like how RIDE produces there Slime urethane sidewalls on there snowboards?

Schmaltz, how do you think of this stuff man? you impress me each season. cant wait to see them.

Schmaltz · Backside 180 Joined: 16 Sep 2003 Posts: 721 City: San Jose

Wow!!! thanks for showing me that Parky...

That is very simular ... I've been wanting to do this for a while. I do believe i have mentioned this before in some older posts, it just never worked out due to BS OEM contracts.

I'll give you more info on the process as we really start test pressing it soon here.

In a nut shell::: the deck will be pressed twice ... first press creates an energetic and lively bamboo core precured to the rocker line with the Urethane side wall ... next it's cnc machined again for concave and kicks and then finish pressed so 4 layers of glass total... like a double Decker sandwich... making a very dynamic profiled flex pattern with tail/tip loading to generate a energy that is snappy and quick... so the energy won't release or noodle out through the middle of the deck... just load and snap in the sweet spot ...

Honestly, HUGE respect right there for that, i think thats really cool man. Its about time that someone in wakeskating jumped on the bandwagon, Skate, snow and Surf mags are all done on Enviromental friendly paper, and i've been waiting for someone to step up to the plate..................... Thanks.

ANd the bamboo thing is just crazy cool in my opinion. wow.... Please tell me there will be a panda bear somewhere on that board......

keep it up man.

its great to see a lot of snowboards technology finally making an influence on wakeskates. Arobr has been using bamboo in their mystic board for a while and the pop is night and day, i can pop higher on that board than other board. I believe gnu and libtech also use bamboo in their higher end boars like the altered genetics and dark series.

Have you ever thought of using birch on the side walls? from what i know birch has the most dense and i would think would make the board ride a little bit lower when on edge, and give a smoother ride in rough water bc birch will deflect energy made from vibration.
