Massive deck .... smidge longer than an AK103, but 2 inches wider :o :o

Carve Board (Original retail: $359, +$30 for silver wheels)
  • Deck Length: 43" (109 cm)
  • Deck Width: 11.5" (29 cm)
  • Deck has a double contour which kicks up in the rail and arches underneath your feet.
  • Dragon Paw (similar to Cheng Shin slicks) tires pneumatic street slicks for grip.

Let me know if you would like me to x-post this to SD.... expect there would be some interest there.

Given the original post, I would think he is selling it for $125 + shipping.

Parcel post + insurance + DC would probably make the shipping doable.

Seems to work well with a Big Stick

Is this board intended for downhill carving primarily???? Are those wheels too grippy for flatland skating??? Looks a lot of fun, but we don't exactly have any large paved roads in my town. Or should I just look for an actual longboard.

It's designed for downhill or flat land carving. It'd take a bit to get the "slicks" to break away, as the trucks are kind of designed to keep the tires glued to the pavement.

If you are looking for controlled sliding/drifting, I would think that you would go with urethane wheels.... but that kind of requires pave roads.

ATB,
Sam

Nope I just want to skate around town on the miles of bike paths. I'll leave the sliding to dirt hills. I tested a loaded pintail, and loved the fast carving, but found it a tad unstable once I was able to get to speed. This looks super stable, and fun. Wondering what ground shipping would be like.

shaggs, this may get a little squirrelly for your taste....try a drop-thru mounted longboard with reverse kingpin trucks and wheels that are at least 77mm it should be ideal

Yeah tried a loaded dervish a guy was using the other night, at the park. Much more stable than the pintail, lower to the ground felt better. I went and looked for one in our skate shop, alas I'm not really wanting to spend $400 atm. Thought this would do in the mean time. No replies though so I'm gonna look else where.

i want this thing !

shaggs it would def be draggy with the pneumatic tires compared to the urethane, without a decent hill to run it on.

the drop thru trucks are nice

my ATB is "set up", more like blown out loose!, so its all squirrelly in most folks opinion

whats the deal with this sale? unable to connect with the owner ...anyone have details?

yeah I messaged a couple times and no reply, so I figure he might not have meant a sale or is in between. No problem, if you want it Phree then its your for the taking. I'm gonna see if the local shop will order me some urethane wheels for the atb. They should roll just as easy as a longboard, plus they have a bigger clearance for small rocks on the pavement.
