how much for just a top deck?

i loved my bi levels, and the cassettes were the best, with 2 wood decks it has the snap that it was designed for, i feel like any other bi since then is too stiff..

Are they building more boards?
or are they leftovers? That would be weird that they had that many leftovers

Huzzah! So, any ideas on how to reinforce these so I can ride it without worry? Just clear-coat it?

I'm pretty sure these are still boards paul schmidtt has had for awhile.

SLWK, like miller said, contact myles.

miller, awesome!

EDIT: I just saw that other post about "reinforcing" the boards. With these, I wouldn't even bother. I tried to seal my first bi-level top deck with a really nice clear coat, but it didn't withstand the flexing too well. I think that led to water getting in the board and being trapped in there and eventually i cracked the tail on an inside out ollie. Now that these boards aren't as hard to come by, I'd just ride it as it is, unless you know of a clearcoat that can handle the flexing that a bi-level is going to do. They aren't sealed cheaply or anything like that.

Yes, I put one down on a 40" as well. Very Happy

Anyone have any pics of the 40's?

I bought a 40 from him last year. Here's a pic that the boardstop used to use of the 40. if you want a better pic I can take a photo of my board tonight. Or here's a link to the one in the photo gallery: http://www.wakeskating.com/media/showphoto.php/photo/3749/cat/618

electricsnow, is the 05 graphic under the 06 on yours?

electricsnow · cassette Joined: 14 Sep 2003 Posts: 10756 City: Jefferton

the one in that gallery shot probably is. But from my recollection, the one I bought last year was exactly the same except it doesn't have the old 05 graphic on the top of the deck. I'm not sure if the c-logo pattern is under the graphic or not becuase I never rode it.
