brassmonkey, haha not really, the wife was driving with moderate boat traffic. Rolling Eyes

but after riding my concave for the last week, going back to my buylevul was quite comforting. i am so inconsistant on shuvs with lighter boards, but i can muscle my bi around with faith and dignity.
first trick attempt out today was a big o'l t/s three shuver. spun nice and slow. Wink

thomas has done noseslides on them--like brett said, [front and back] noseslides are in his section. thomas also did one on that little dvs funbox those guys built in clermont. reed was riding his liquid force boards at that point, so he wasn't tailsliding on one. but I do want to say that aaron was attempting blunts in that montage section in "such is life" on a bi-level. he was eating a lot of poo, but I still think it counts for something.

I don't feel confused about bi-levels. I always thought the slower rotation felt cool, but I also think a lot of that has to do with technique. anyway, that board had certain ideals in mind, style principles, etc. everyone may not subscribe, but that's the way it is with everything.

And Drew, I do nose and tail slides on my devo with skate bumps. you have to lay the board down a little softer than a concave. The top deck pops back if you hit it two hard hense "eating alot of poo"

brassmonkey, i love the way bi-levels rotate on flip tricks, so perfect, but for everything else i dunno. So i guess i'm in the same boat as you. I enjoy riding a bi-level, and i can definatly get used to it, i did with charlies devotid, but i guess i slightly prefer concaves.
