 Posted: May 11, 2005 8:36 pm Post subject: Regripped and painted my skate |
 |
|
Finally got around to finishing up my old cassette deck i got in january for 25 bucks! Regripped with some skateboard griptape i had laying around. I decided to leave the stock graphics in the center, but painted over the yellow with white and added the red splatter and stick figure. I also couldn't decide on a fin layout so i made it a single center on one end and dual fins on the other. Have only rode it once and i'm a newb to wakeskateing so i can't really decide which i like better.

looks good man! but i think the placement of your fins defeats the whole purpose of having two fins...

| Looks good but why so many fins unless you plan on doing noes/tale slides.

| I guess i'm used to wakeboarding and wakeboard shapes so i placed the fins similar to where they are on a wakeboard. I can notice some tracking differences between the two ends, the dual fin side is definately a little more responsive and holds better on a harder cut. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to move the fins to?

hiett_431, its just that usually when theres a 3 fin setup on a wakeskate (the 4 track) the fins are for noseslides. i can see that you did this to have it track like a 4 fin or molded fin wakeboard but with the fins that far out towards the tip noseslides wouldnt be possible. but i guess that wasnt your intention so sick, looks good.
