how is it possible that the drew skate is more than the urban rail when its the same skate but the urban rail has a pbt bottom sheet and the drew doesnt....

Called a Pro Model that's why. But I have ridden both and they are a little different. The concave was the most noticeable.

I have an 06 Urban rail 41 that I am selling. Hasn't been over an rails and was ridden 3 times at the cableway. That I will sell for 60.00 plus shipping.

which one has more concave?

Mickey Esters · Posted: Nov 19, 2007 12:24 am Post subject:

The Drew seems to be a snoother nore rounded concave(more bowl shaped). My personal faborite out of the wood decks. Was the Pro Model. That thing is sick. And now it has a pbt bottom. I just might have to get one

thats weird cause earlier i asked the same question to a gator rep and this is what he said "The difference between the drew and Urban is that the Urban has a rail base material better for hitting rails. It also makes the skate just a bit heavier". Its probably the concave.

the 06 Urban rail is a tank. It will always be under your feet. LOL! Heck its way heavier than my Byerly Legacy 42, but then again that's not as heavy as it looks. Truth is I havnt found any of the gators that I dislike. Even the Savanah was fun. Thing is so lite, great for dock start tricks at the cable.

dock start tricks?

Mickey Esters · Posted: Nov 19, 2007 9:46 am Post subject:

LOL! Yeah we get bored at the cable sometimes and start huckin ourselves, when there is hardly anyone there. Misty flips of the dock are fun. Just gotta go at the right time , otherwise you will be upside down when the cable tension pulls and you end up with a hurt shoulder!

nice! i've had my fair share of that...one night we were like tossing our boards out over the water like 15 feet off the dock and trying to zip line raley then come back down and land feet first on the board...SUPER hard to time it right and get the distance correct, plus very easy to hit your face on the board or something. it would indeed be a feat.

I've mastered tossing my board out and swinging on the cable out to it! Smile

I've gone pretty far out, maybe like 20' or so. Never tried to raley though, lol, faceplant failure.
