that board is sick other than the massive fins that looks like it would be fun as hell to ride... how long is it?

nice man, did you shape 'the squid' on a new byerly, or did you just put grip on one? Good work, I like the variety of shapes you have, which one's your favorite?

just saw a photo of the Byerly somewhere and decided to make a skate like that. The blue concave is my favourite at the moment but almost finished an improved concave (assym) with a couple experimental features not seen before.

These are 'trucks' for wakeskates that I designed. I tried to make the design similar to skateboard trucks but at the same time make them suitable for dragging through the water.

I need some opinions on whether it would work or not... I have no idea???

the trucks i designed are on my other design, a 5 stage rocker wakeskate (i think that's what you would call it).

with this setup you could not only do 50-50's, 5-0's, nose grinds, nose slides and tail slides, you could also do nollies!

The nollies are just a theory but I'm pretty shore it would work. If you were to do a nollie on a 3 stage rocker the nose of the board would catch on the water and you would be screwed. But with the 5 stage rocker, you can pop the nollie before the end goes under. It's hard to explain but I'm sure it would work.

Well there's only one way to find out how well they would work. Build them.

IMO it might cause drag in the water when you trying to ollie, keeping the back end in the water. and might give to much grip when you're riding around, you'd have to say goodbye to surface shovit's. But thats speculation, build them and see, they definetly interesting.

the 5 stage rocker thing, is kinda like the Gate.

ok, here's mine, build it last year, at first I rode with fins, but because of the concaved bottom I have enough edge without

sk8n_jackass, nice idea but I dought that would work... one I think it would screw up ur riding but also theres no way to do a nollie with a regular deck.... the things wouldn't do jack
