hey guys im new here but ive been riding a hyperlite vinyl 108 and that thing is a freakin tank an im kinda small....about 5'8 and 135 pounds.
do any of you have suggestions for a good board that is lighter and easier to spin and flip?
i was looking at lf hampson 41 but i dont know about the asymetrical thing ... seems kinda sketchy..any suggestions would be great.

JB_CANSKATE, ive been trying to find one for some time now and i wanted to try and get that one but it doesnt look like it is gonna happen soo ive been looking at other easier options.
DirtyCracker, ive looked into both of these companies recently but i just dont know about the whole wood thing.. thats why i was asking about the hampson 41. i really want to try a wood board but at the same time i dont want to be dissapointed and end up with i board i dont enjoy

needaninteg., you definately wont be dissappointed with a new or an oak if you like wood concave decks.

well it looks like its gonna be one of these so last factor is weight.
which is lighter?

needaninteg., oaks are, but lighter doesn't always mean better, it's a personal preference thing, the both have their ups and downs Smash

when i rode single concave decks, those were my favorites, but i'm hooked on bi's now Twisted Evil

needaninteg., yea you could, you could have them make pretty much any board you want to your specifications: graphic, shape, rocker, etc.
