Thanks everyone! Scott, you look to be so right! No rush here so I'll see y'all at WW and get a feel for what I want. A lot of decisions to make with
the exact Trampa board/trucks to get...is anything easy?
Like I said to Scott, I'll be out of the beginner board before JIBE!

Guessing 8 in tires.
Trampa mounts 9 in tires on their Primo 3 Spokes Hubs (rather than the Hypa wheels pictured on Rich's board above.
And it ends up giving the deck a very Dark Knight Tumbler vibe.
According to the NAPKA Calender, WWB Falll 2015 is October 7th - October 11th.
ATB,
Sam

Thanks Sam for filling in for me while I was asleep . Yes it has 8" tires and as
stated is nearly brand new.
Also Oct 7-11 is spot on as well.

since you already have wheels and straps, you could just buy the deck and bearings and trucks if you want to change trucks and it would be cheaper. Do
you like channel trucks or skate trucks more. each have their own merits.

Glad this worked out for you phree... I'm settled on Trampa now but just have to be sure of sizing and the other options. MBS is not quite as
extensive in the choices to make. Come on WW!!!!

MBS the best ..try the pro 90 for kitting , super light ... the deck is the best that you can get 4 flexibility scale
Trampa is too heavy to dificult too much Drama from UK ... and over price
The new MBS products are super lights and strong ...truck - HUB - Wheels Decks .
Trampa = Heavy and Expensive ..

Thanks Chicago...it's a tough call, especially not having much chance to check anything out for real. MBS is made here though, correct? I'd like to
think the U.S. could compete with the world in the production and sales of some particular component of kiting.

Umm, the way I see the history. Wipika may have invented the inflatos that propelled the sport forward but Robbie Niash was the one who set it on
fire? Airush, Slingshot, Caution. Ocean Rodeo for Canada. LOTS of North American companies are in the game?
If you are going to WBB you should try BigKid's Flexboard to " buy American ". It sounds like he will leave it behind at cost! Thing is, it's not
exactly a lightweight jumping board?
