I know this is on another post but i wanted to put it in its own post so i could get better feedback.

We finnally got the website up: www.vergewakeskates.com
Its far from finished but we got up a few pages so go ahead and check it out.

Any feedback about the site, god or bad, just let me know. Hopefully we will get a store up soon, but untill then give me a PM if u might be interested in purchasing a board.

Also we are starting look for a team. Right now the team is probably only going to be a small group of riders that can get our companys name out and in the world of wakeskating. Im so stoaked on our boards right now, and i want other people to kno just how good these things are.

But yea, let me know

Is the Duel-Deck the same as a bi=level?

Verge_Wakeskates · Pop Shuvit Joined: 27 Jul 2006 Posts: 150

yea its the same concept but different construction and design than any of the other bi-levels out right now, theres pics of one somewhere on the site that i posted a while back.

plus it should say dual, not duel, i have to fix it Embarassed

Trey, word man ur gonna need it. the wakeskate market is way over saturated...there are way too many sic ROC's to support Sad

anyways get a niche that will seperate u from the rest and sponsor someone on this site. the bi looks interesting

bigpimpinalberta, your right, but i think our bi-level will separate us from most other ROCs since not many rocs offer them and since its a new design that no other company has.

Anyway, thanks for good luck.

good luck dude. Site looks good. FYI - I know that Divoted and Beach Wood Masters are both making Bi-levels, as is Gator and O'Brian.

Verge_Wakeskates, Good luck brethren, where are you guys outta?

Verge_Wakeskates · Pop Shuvit Joined: 27 Jul 2006 Posts: 150

Raven, We outta NC

jonnyUTAH, yea i know those are the guys, but i really havent heard anything good about the obrian or gator bi-levels, but then again i havent heard much about them at all.

Anyway, compared to the amount of companys that have a solid concave board, there are far fewer with a bi-level, fewer less, an all wood one.
Were trying to make a solid, durable wood board, flat and bi-level, that uses different designs and constuction than any other board out on the market right now.

Verge_Wakeskates, whats so different?

VonBoggin · Backside 180 Joined: 21 Nov 2005 Posts: 1666 City: Austin

My union is all wood so what are you tryin to say?

i think what everyone is trying to ask is, "what is different about yours considering that its all wood and what makes it different then a Devotid or Cassette because they are both all wood."

Well, obviously theres not a huge difference in any of it, but there are definitely some that give our skates a new feel.

One is the adhesive we use, instead of drying rock solid like the adhesive most wood skates have, it dries slightly elastic (still completlely waterproof) to give the board better snap off the water that lasts for a long time. It also makes landings cleaner. This is in both out flat decks and bi-levels

another is the connection of the two levels on the synergy. Instead of using a skateboard-truck-like connection, we have a three-point horizontal connection on each side that allows the decks to pivot without producing as much stress on the wood it self ad allows for bigger pop. the soft risers we use also helps this. It is also lighter, allowing the synergy to weigh around 13 lbs

another is the built in channels in the wood that make for better stability on tricks when riding finless, but doesnt get locked into the water like fins.

There are other small things like a different combination of shape, size, edge etc. that give it a different feel. If anyone still has any more questions feel free to ask.

SkateForce, ur bi isnt all wood. its got a layer of fiberglass in the top deck to save on some weight and allow top deck to flex with out breaking

stompin9s, thats exactly where our adheasive comes into play, but is made even better with the three point, soft riser connection

the companys putting out bi-levels should send 1 of eack deck to dave to do an unbiased product review. Idea
